The whole family is affected when a child is ill. Families facing the same illness stressors respond in different ways and have different needs forhealthcare. However, assessing a family’s needs is difficult. Few instruments for assessment of families’ health related quality of life, when achild in the family has a chronic illness, exist. The purpose of this study was to translate The PedsQL™ Fami

BACKGROUND: An individual's subjective perception of well-being is increasingly recognized as an essential complement to clinical symptomatology and functional impairment in children's mental health. Measurement of quality of life (QoL) has the potential to give due weight to the child's perspective.SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY: Our aim was to critically review the current evidence on how childhood menta

Thirty-two consecutive patients with a histological diagnosis of chronic active hepatitis were examined with liver biopsy, laboratory tests and ultrasonography of the hepato-duodenal ligament to investigate the possible correlation between enlarged lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament and biochemical activity, histological activity and/or humoral immunoreactivity. We found a significant cor

Thirty-five consecutive patients with primary biliary cirrhosis were examined using liver biopsy, laboratory tests and ultrasonography of the hepato-duodenal ligament to investigate the possible correlation between enlarged lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament and biochemical activity, histologic activity or stage and/or humoral immunoreactivity. We found a positive correlation between the

We critically assess mainstream accounting and finance research applying methods from computational linguistics (CL) to study financial discourse. We also review common themes and innovations in the literature and assess the incremental contributions of work applying CL methods over manual content analysis. Key conclusions emerging from our analysis are:(a) accounting and finance research is behin

Multiconfigurational second order perturbation theory was employed in order to describe the ground and excited states of C_60^(-n). Different choices of the active spaces are discussed and the possibility to apply multiconfigurational theory to study C_120 is investigated. The calculations were performed for all possible spin states (for selected charge) and show the preference of low spin state.

A pulsed-gas jet with interesting properties has been developed. A typical pressure obtained at the output of this pulsed-gas jet is 25 Torr for a backing pressure of 150 Torr. At a repetition rate of 10 Hz, the background pressure stays below 1.5×10-4 Torr. Laser-induced fluoresence measurements permit one to determine the pressure and the divergence of the gas jet accurately.

This article is based on a two-year research project, ‘The Best Interests of the Child – From Words to Deeds’. The aim of the article is to present and highlight findings on the discrepancy between the policy of the ‘best interests’ principle and its implementation in the asylum application procedures at the Swedish Migration Board. There is a clear ambition to implement the principle of the best
