Processbarhetsteorin i grammatisk intervention

Ett antal interventionsstudier har vid språkstörning konstaterat större behandlingsframgång vid användning av strukturerade behandlingsformer. En orsak tros vara att ett reglerat arbetssätt leder till en högre andel faktisk terapi per behandlingstillfälle. Arbetssättet gör behandlingsresultatet mindre känsligt för variationer i behandlarens interaktion med barnet och med tydliga riktlinjer blir äv

Interactional effects of introducing the computer into phonological intervention

Phonological intervention is often aimed at resolving problems with the specific speech sounds and phonological processes that cause difficulties for the child. But part from working with these specific targets, the speech and language pathologist (SLP) can also use conscious communicative strategies, e.g. encouraging the child’s own communicative initiatives, to strengthen the child as a communic

Artighetsprefix med Gairaigo - En studie om de japanska prefixen O- och Go-

The honorific prefix is often mistaken for being Bikago, in fact it is not. The honorific prefixes serve two purposes, to show respect and to beautify words and Bikago is the term for the beautified words. It is hard to distinguish when the honorific prefix is used to show respect or to beautify words because it all depends on the context when used. Normally the prefix O- and Go- cannot be used w

Hur ska socialt arbete utföras? - Att bilda sig en syn i en fråga som splittrar

Authors: Mathias Mossing, David Petersson Title: How should social work be performed? To form a view on an issue that divides [translated title] Supervisor: Jonas Ringström The Swedish drug policy has long been characterized by a strong ideological stance where zero tolerance has been central. Now this view has begun to be challenged by another view of how substance abuse treatment should be desig

Empirical Analysis of Residential Electricity Demand: A Case Study of South Africa

The current study looks at residential electricity consumption trends in a middle income country – South Africa over the period 1978-2010. The country is put in a comparative perspective with regard to its household electricity sector to both OECD and Non-OECD nations and similarities and differences are discussed. Further, by using a recently developed econometric technique - the bounds testing p

Right of subrogation in marine insurance: A comparative study of English and Chinese Law

Marine insurance is one of the oldest forms of protection methods against the loss. It has a very long history and is associated with the development of the maritime business. When the assured is facing a loss caused by the third party, he has the free choice of suing the insurer or the third party. The problem raised under this circumstance. The assured has the possibility of double recovery that

An approach to diketone-galectin-3 inhibitor

In many biological mechanisms galectins play important roles. The galectins are important in inflammation, immunologic response and cancer. A key function of galectins is cross-linking of their glycoprotein ligands which are connected with the biological activities. Carbohydrate recognition domains (CRD) are responsible for the cross-linking. The galectin CRDs are divided into subsites A-E and it

Influence of cisplatin on DNA and RNA stability

Cancer is today a common disease in our society. There are several forms of cancer and some can be treated with cytostatic drogs. The most common form of cancer among men in the age of 20-35 is testicular cancer. Testicular cancer can be treatedwith cisplatin or oxaliplatin. The therapeutic use of cisplatin was discovered in the late 60's by Barnett Rosenberg. The main target of cisplatin is t

Chemokines regulate colon cancer metastasis

Background: Chemokines are small molecular weight proteins, which mainly function as a chemoattractant cytokines for leukocyte migration. Emerging data indicate that chemokines may also play a role in cancer biology. Colon cancer is one of the most leading causes of death especially in the industrial world. The most common causes of mortality are due to the metastasis of colon cancer. Aim: The aim

Vibronic Excitons in Molecular Systems

Absorption and emission of photons by any molecule is strongly in uenced by the molecular environment. When several chromophores are packed together their spectral properties are known to be altered and this is canonically ex- plained by quantum theory as electromagnetic interactions between the dipole moments. If the interaction is strong, the absorption process might be best described as the cre

Synthesis and Characterization of PbS Quantum Dots

Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) have recently attracted much attention because of their unique electronic and optical properties and potential for a wide range of applications. Near-infrared (NIR) PbS QDs were synthesized using oleic acid (OA) as a surfactant for stabilizing the nanocrystals. PbS QD’s of different diameters were obtained by varying the injection temperat

Synthesis of 3-C-(4-aryl-5-halo-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-galactosides: Probing halogen bonding in galectin-ligand complexes

The continued search for compounds exhibiting a better inhibition of Galectin-3 and -1 has been performed in this thesis. It has been shown that the Galectins are over-expressed in cancer cells and play an important role in inflammatory conditions connected to apoptosis (cell death). The focus in this research project has been to explore if halogen-bonding, which gives a hydrogen-bond like charact

Measuring pharmacokinetic properties of established and potential PET-tracers

Measuring pharmacokinetic properties is notoriously difficult. The invitro/ex vivo laboratory experiments seek to mimic the physiological responses of the body to the drug, but it rarely gives a good estimate of what happens in vivo. Lipophilicity is traditionally measured by the shake-flask method,in which the distribution of the analyte between two immiscible phases (one organic, one aqueous) is

Temperature and Concentration-Dependent Absorption and Fluoresence of Thaits J-Aggregate Dye, Reveal Supra-Molecular Architecture

The narrow and redshirted absorption bands of J–aggregates relative to the monomer absorption, coupled with their ability to coherently and incoherently delocalise exciton wave function over several hundreds of molecules has made this class of molecules very important in high technology fields. This has provided new impetus to study the properties of J–aggregates and to explore the mechanism invol

Influence of the mannan binding module of beta-mannanase CfMan26A in the hydrolysis of mannan

Hemicellulose is next to cellulose the most abundant polysaccharide on earth and as such an important renewable resource. Mannans are the major hemicellulose in so:ftwodd and are found as storage polysaccharide in various plants. -mannanases are the main mannan degrading enzymes. In this work the -1,4-mannanase from the soilliving bacteria Cellulosamas Jimi was studied and special focus was put on

Hirlam och Harmonie. Fallstudie.

Detailed weather predictions are of interest e.g. to protect humans and society from damages caused by extreme weather. To do this today’s forecast models need higher resolution, i.e. less distance between measure points. So-called non-hydrostatic models are used when this distance decreases. The development of this type of models has progressed during the past 20 years due to more powerful comput

ORDBANKEN Konstruktion och utprovning av ett material för bedömning av aktivt ordförråd hos 11-12 åringar

Kliniskt verksamma logopeder har uttalat ett stort behov av lämpliga test för bedömning av elevers aktiva ordförråd. De test som används för detta ändamål idag är inte optimala bland annat på grund av att de inte är konstruerade utifrån svenska förhållanden. Vi har som ett första steg till att tillgodose det aktuella behovet konstruerat ett material för bedömning av aktivt ordförråd. Vårt arbete g

Röst hos barn med cochleaimplantat och barn med normal hörsel - hörs det skillnader?

Cochleaimplantat (CI) ger döva och gravt hörselskadade barn möjlighet att höra då en hörapparat inte är ett tillräckligt hjälpmedel. Därigenom får barnen förutsättningar för att utveckla ett talat språk och att utveckla sina röster. I den aktuella studien undersöktes om en tränad lyssnargrupp kunde höra några generella skillnader mellan rösterna hos fyra förskolebarn med CI och fyra barn med norma

Development of an Antigen-independent Affinity Assay to study the Binding of IgG to FcgammaR

Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) are membrane-bound receptors which bind the Fc fragment of antigen-bound IgGs. The binding generates cell signaling and subsequently an immunological response. In this way FcγRs are important links between the humoral and cellular parts of the immune system. Three families of FcγRs have been identified in human, FcγRI, FcγRII and FcγRIII. FcγRI has high affinity for IgG
