  2. 1. The quest for cultural sensitivity : how cultural sensitivity can be practised while mitigating othering in Swedish eldercare

    Author : Carl Johansson; Ildikó Asztalos Morell; Daniel Lindberg; Lena-Karin Gustafsson; Finnur Magnusson; Mälardalens universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Older adults with immigrant background; cultural sensitivity; eldercare; welfare theory of health; active ageing; othering; social work; socialt arbete; Social Work;

    Abstract : The need to provide culturally sensitive care for older adults with immigrant backgrounds has been expressed by care professionals. Meanwhile there is a lack of consensus about how this should be done, and critical perspectives in research highlight the danger of causing this group to be viewed as problem bearers. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sensitivity and Uncertainty Analysis of BWR Stability

    Author : Ivan Gajev; Tomas Lefvert; Paolo Vinai; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BWR Stability; Sensitivity; Uncertainty; Engineering physics; Teknisk fysik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : Best Estimate codes are used for licensing, but with conservative assumptions. It is claimed that the uncertainties are covered by the conservatism of the calculation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Searching for the optimal radiotherapy treatment time, dose and fractionation - the role of hypoxia and reoxygenation : A modelling study

    Author : Emely Lindblom; Iuliana Toma-Dasu; Ingmar Lax; Ludvig Paul Muren; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hypoxia; Reoxygenation; SBRT; Fractionation; Medical Radiation Physics; medicinsk strålningsfysik;

    Abstract : The search for the optimal choice of treatment time, dose and fractionation regimen is one of the major challenges in radiation therapy. Several aspects of the radiation response of tumours and normal tissues give different indications of how the parameters defining a fractionation schedule should be altered relative to each other which often results in contradictory conclusions.

  7. 5. Nitric oxide and extravasation in endotoxaemia : an experimental study

    Author : Kerstin Metcalf; Mikael Bodelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background: Despite advances in intensive care the mortality of patients in septic shock is still high. In early stages the condition is characterised by circulatory failure that is a consequence of myocardial depression, vasodilatation with decreased sensitivity to catecholamine stimulation and increased loss of protein and fluid from the circulation.
