Popular Abstract in Swedish I världen beräknas det finnas cirka 38 miljoner blinda människor enligt Värdshälsoorganisationen (WHO). Av dessa är 1,5 miljon barn under 16 år. Blindhet definieras av WHO som bästa korrigerade synskärpa under 0,05 (man klarar således inte att läsa översta raden på en vanlig synprövningstavla på halva normalavståndet), detta med bästa glasögonkorrektion och med båda ögoKnowledge of the epidemiology of visual impairment in children forms one of the cornerstones in paediatric ophthalmology. To gain an overview of the situation in Sweden an epidemiological study was performed. Totally 2373 visually impaired children were found, giving an age-specific prevalence of 10,9/10 000. Childhood blindness (i.e. vision

Translation into Swedish of Johan Linders's Harderwijk dissertation from 1707.

``Pluralistic ignorance'' is a phenomenon mainly studied in social psychology. Viewed as an epistemic phenomenon, one way to define it is as a situation where ``no one believes, but everyone believes that everyone else believes''. In this paper various versions of pluralistic ignorance are formalized using epistemic/doxastic logic (based on plausibility models). The motive is twofold. Firstly, the

Providing invaluable information for both graduate researchers and R & D engineers in industry and consultancy, this book focuses on the modeling and simulation of fluid flow and thermal transport phenomena in turbulent convective flows. Its overall objective is to present state-of-the-art knowledge in order to predict turbulent heat transfer processes in fundamental and idealized flows as wel

This paper presents a novel method to improve the performance of sub-threshold (sub-V-T) gates in 65-nm CMOS technology. Faster transistors with a lower threshold voltage are introduced in the weaker network of a gate. It is shown that the employed method significantly enhances the reliability and performance of the gate, with an additive advantage of a lower area cost compared to traditional tran

Background: The Swedish Program for health surveillance of preschool children includes screening of language and communication abilities. One important language screening is carried out at age 4 years as part of a general screening conducted by health nurses at child health centres. The instruments presently in use for this screening mainly focus on expressive phonology. This may result in both ov

Aim: We evaluated bowel function in healthy children with regard to gender and age. Methods: The study was carried out in 2016 at a tertiary children's hospital. Healthy children aged 3.5 years to 15 years who were admitted to the hospital, siblings to patients or offspring of staff members were included. Validated self-report questionnaires and internally developed questions regarding obstructive

This thesis explores musical composition in the context of contemporary theatre. It suggests methods where compositional thinking – broadly understood – can be used as a dramaturgical device in the creation of theatre performances. Such musicalization of theatre provides new methods for an artistic practice and questions traditional artistic hierarchies and working structures. The investigation de

Utvecklingen inom gentekniken har gjort det möjligt att inom sjukvårdens ram undersöka många gener samtidigt genom helgenom-/helexomanalyser. Detta har hittills främst utnyttjats för diagnostik av personer, framför allt barn, med misstänkt ärftliga syndrom.Under de senaste tre åren har tekniken utnyttjats för att bygga upp plattformar att användas för kartläggning av recessiva sjukdomsanlag hos frDue to recent advances in molecular genetic testing, massive parallel sequencing has become possible at an affordable cost for health care. Thus, it is now possible to test healthy young persons for carriership of mutations in many genes for severe recessive genetic conditions – extended genetic carrier testing. The introduction of this test in Swedish health care must be accompanied by ethical co

Dynamic isotropy is a condition where eigenfrequencies of a robot are equal, which could be equivalent to the maximization of the lowest eigenfrequency. Accordingly, dynamic isotropy can be considered as an effective criterion to optimize dynamic performance of a robot. In this paper, we firstly present the mathematical conditions in order to obtain dynamic isotropy in hexapods. These conditions a
