Abstract:

Objectives: To determine 1) the extent to which parents’ prenatal preparation for neonatal unit (NNU) care meets their perceived needs: 2) if there are differences between parents’ ‘prepared’ in different ways and between ‘prepared’ and ‘unprepared’ parents in their level of anxiety, their initial contact with their baby and support by NNU staff. 3) how NNU staff perceive the support required and given by them to parents ‘unprepared’ and ‘prepared’ in different ways, for NNU care. Findings: Most parents felt preparation for NNU care as irrelevant unless in a high-risk pregnancy. Most parents

Abstract:

Cerebral palsy (CP) causes complex motor and sensory impairments. The motor impairments are well documented in the literature. More recently, researchers have focused on the sensory impairments associated with CP. Sensory modulation disorders (SMD) are identified when children are unable to adequately regulate and grade their responses to sensory inputs to such an extent that it significantly impairs their ability to participate in various areas of occupation. Although there is evidence that children with CP present with SMD, there is no evidence that different types of CP present with differe

Women and minorities have long been underrepresented in politics but, in recent years, pressure has mounted to diversify national legislatures. A prominent argument is that increasing the percentage of seats held by an underrepresented group will lead to greater representation of that group's interests and provide symbolic benefits for its members in society.

Abstract:

The main purpose of this study is to carry out a descriptive and comparative analysis of conceptual metaphors (CM’s) in metal and pop lyrics based on the theory proposed by Lakoff and Johnson in their influential book ‘Metaphors We Live By’, published in 1980. In this work, they claim that metaphors are not constrained to poetic language, but are also part of everyday language. In this sense, they claim that metaphor is not only a stylistic feature of language but also an essential process of human thought and conceptualisation.

This study aims to help to fill that gap in the data by using quantitative methods to describe the scope of substance abuse of individuals 55-years or older.

Abstract:

Gambling is a complex social behaviour. How behaviour is shaped can vary within different historical and cultural contexts: to date, it is rare for the impact of these different contexts to be examined. The study of gambling has been (largely) entrenched within a bio-medical paradigm, where problematic gambling is viewed as an innate characteristic of the individual. This focus limits understanding about the ways in which gambling behaviour is shaped and also limits the range of policy responses to intervention with ‘problematic’ individuals.

Abstract:

Les entérobactéries du genre Xenorhabdus sont pathogènes de larves d'insectes et symbiotiques de nématodes du genre Steinernema. En lutte biologique, les couples Steinernema-Xenorhabdus sont utilisés contre un large spectre d'insectes ravageurs de culture. Les deux partenaires du couple modèle Steinernema carpocapsae-Xenorhabdus nematophila peuvent être expérimentalement dissociés tout en restant pathogènes pour les insectes. En revanche, certaines souches de Xenorhabdus sont non-virulentes lorsqu'elles sont injectées directement dans une larve d'insecte. L'objectif de cette thèse est de carac

Abstract:

To meet learning needs of current undergraduate nursing students, and respond to mandates for bettered prepared graduates, nurse educators must restructure curricula and teaching strategies. One strategy garnering increased attention is the flipped classroom model (FCM). This form of instruction requires students to have access to and be accountable for lecture material on their own time, and then use face-to-face classroom time for interactive learning that can include discussion, case study analysis, or application of pre-class lecture content. Although the FCM has gained popularity, few res

Abstract:

La polymédication est définie comme l’administration de nombreux médicaments de façon simultanée ou comme l’administration d’un nombre excessif de médicaments. L’objectif général de la thèse était de décrire la polymédication chronique et le risque associé à partir des bases de données médico-administratives. Un indicateur de description de la polymédication chronique, défini par l’usage concomitant et chronique de 5 médicaments ou plus, a été développé pour décrire la prévalence et les médicaments impliqués. À partir des données de l’Assurance Maladie Française, nous avons estimé que la polym

<p>This Master thesis enhances an existing library search system with a new dynamic web interface and introduces the ability to perform remote searches by using Web Services. The remote search functionality also includes the ability to compress SOAP-messages, this functionality is optional. The system is implemented using the Microsoft.NET Framework with Visual Studio C#. A library needs to store information about articles and we have chosen to use a Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere database.</p><p>The practical part of this thesis describes the architecture of our implementation and the design

Abstract:

There is a little doubt that, for a decade, risk measurement has become one of the most important topics in finance. Indeed, it is natural to observe such a development, since in the last ten years, huge amounts of financial transactions ended with severe losses due to severe convulsions in financial markets. Value at risk, as the most widely used risk measure, fails to quantify the risk of a position accurately in many situations. For this reason a number of consistent risk measures have been introduced in the literature. The main aim of this study is to present and compare coherent, convex,

Abstract:

Fragments from explosive device have been and still are a great threat, but has now changed into terrorist attacks involving IED (Improvised Explosive Devise) rather than hostile forces. This master thesis will show the effects on concrete plates (50 mm depth) impacted by different projectiles, which should replicate fragments hitting buildings. The projectiles used were the 8 mm sphere, the 6 mm sphere, the 8 mm cylinder (RCC) and the FSP (fragment simulating projectile). The thesis was made at request from FOI (Swedish Research Defiance Agency) at Grindsjön and it contains both experiments m
