The role of patient participation in forensic psychiatric care is unclear, but has been emphasised as important in recent research. This study aims to describe patients’ lived experiences of participation in high-security, forensic psychiatric settings. Sixteen patient interviews were performed in this phenomenological study and analysed with a Reflective Lifeworld Research approach (RLR). Results
We address the problem of the correct description of light-matter coupling for excitons and cavity photons in the case of systems with multiple photon modes or excitons, respectively. In the literature, two different approaches for the phenomenological coupling Hamiltonian can be found: Either one single Hamiltonian with a basis whose dimension equals the sum of photonic modes and excitonic resona
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis of a diurnal variation of endothelial function. Sixteen healthy, nonsmoking women were studied, each on four occasions during one 24-h period (2:00 PM, 8:00 PM, 2:00 AM, and 8:00 AM). Endothelial function was assessed by ultrasound determinations of flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD%) in the brachial artery. FMD% was contrasted with endothelium-i
The selections of design method and design specifications for sampled-data adaptive controllers are discussed. The following issues are considered: choice of design method, choice and effect of sampling frequency and antialiasing filters, interplay between estimation and design, and implementation aspects and numerics.
Denna artikel innehåller en analys av samtliga rapporter från Statens offentliga utredningar (SOU), 1945-89. Analysen applicerar metoder inom digital humaniora och inkluderar forskning gjort i en Jupyterlabbmiljö som utvecklats på Humlab på Umeå universitet. Artikeln är ett resultat av forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad, som ämnar att digitalisera litteratur, arbetar med datasäkring av In 2015 the National Library of Sweden finished digitising all Governmental Official Reports (SOU) from 1922 to 1999. Traditionally, SOU reports – and work performed within different governmental committees – were tasked with preparing the Swedish government for apt and rational decision-making. The range of subjects covered by governmental committees and SOU reports basically includes every area
In this study, we investigate the phenomenology of self-transcendent experiences, in which the usual sense of self is lost. Based on a taxonomy of nine aspects of self and three types of content of consciousness, we compare ten accounts of such experiences acquired through in-depth interviews. Sense of separateness and identification with body and narrative self were reported as lost in all of the
I describe changes in the social structure of the Swedish workforce over the long term. Occupational coding from nine full count censuses from 1880 until 1990 and 2001-2016 occupational registers is aligned to comprehensively map social stratification for birth cohorts born 1820-1985. We show occupational upgrading for working women and men over the past 150 years. The male andfemale workforce con
How does parental social status affects child status attainment across time? Social mobility studies have traditionally studied parent-child associations using one ‘dominant’ parent to reflect social origin. However, the institutions of family and work have changed substantially over the past 150 years, in Sweden as elsewhere. These changes are associated with changes in intergenerationalstatus mo
South Africa’s energy sector finds itself in a gridlock situation. The sector is controlled by the state-owned utility Eskom holding the monopoly on the generation and transmission of electricity, which is almost exclusively produced from domestically extracted coal. At the same time, the constitutional mandate enables municipalities to distribute and sell electricity generated by Eskom to local c
G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) probably plays a role in innate immunity and tumor immunosurveillance through its effect on immune cells, such as T cells and NK cells. In this study, the prognostic value of GPR55 in colon cancer (CC) was investigated. mRNA expression levels of GPR55 were determined in 382 regional lymph nodes of 121 CC patients with 12 years observation time after curative s
The future is robotic. Already we are seeing how society is changing with self-driving cars and robots at hospitals and schools. The huge potential of autonomous systems (AS) is highly discussed. What is not highly discussed, and rarely even acknowledged, is the key role trust plays in realizing these benefits. No common way of defining, testing, or measuring it exists. I argue that this lack of
The underwater localization of a broadband target in the presence of strong interference and noise has been widely investigated. A novel clutter suppression approach based on oblique projections is proposed, exploiting the prior information of the expected target response. The method uses a generalised likelihood ratio formulation to select the oblique projection best matching the measured data. T
Cytochrome c oxidase in animals, plants and many aerobic bacteria functions as the terminal enzyme of the respiratory chain where it reduces molecular oxygen to form water in a reaction coupled to energy conservation. The three-subunit core of the enzyme is conserved, whereas several proteins identified to function in the biosynthesis of the common family A1 cytochrome c oxidase show diversity in
Water is vital to all life on earth, but its management is becoming more difficult owing to the behavior of water in nature such as water dynamics, water movements, and different forms of water in nature. In addition, population growth, the impact of climate change, and the inappropriate use of water resources add more complexity to water resource management. The integration of natural sciences ne
Enucleation is a crucial event during the erythropoiesis, implicating drastic morphologic and transcriptomic/proteomic changes. While many genes deletion lead to failed or impaired enucleation have been identified, directly triggering the erythroid maturation, particularly enucleation, is still challenging. Inducing enucleation at the desired timing is necessary to develop efficient methods to gen
Using a penalized maximum likelihood, we estimate, for the first time, the velocity distribution of white dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. Our sample consists of 129 675 white dwarfs within 500 pc in Gaia Early Data Release 3. The white dwarf velocity distributions reveal a similar structure to the rest of the solar neighbourhood stars, reflecting that white dwarfs are subject to the same dynami
This chapter aims to demonstrate the normative constraints and governmental strategies towards the various aspects of Uyghur community matters by analysing the Chinese government’s white papers. Content analysis of white papers presents the official Chinese narrative and illustrates the gradual shift in Beijing’s policy towards the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). It further illuminates t
