In previous papers, we have presented eXtreme Teaching (XT) as a framework for continuous improvement of teaching and learning. In those papers we have also sketched a number of XT practices within the framework, but have not been able to give them any real in-depth treatment. In this paper, we focus on one single XT practice - Pair Teaching - and cover it in more detail. First, we give a short o
Relevanta tillämpningar och ett konsekvent datoranvändande genomsyrar grundkursen i matematisk statistik på W-programmet. För en lyckosam integrering av datorn krävs, förutom en lämplig blandning av uppgifter, att hänsyn tas till andra aspekter som t.ex. studenternas ''ägandeskap'' vid sin inlärning.
I en grundkurs i programmering har tidigare delmålskontroller (diagnostiskt prov som kamraträttats) använts. Om delmålskontrollen utförs väl får studenten bonuspoäng som gäller vid första ordinarie tentamenstillfället. I en kurs med många deltagare blir det tidskrävande och kostsamt om läraren skall rätta alla lösningarna för att dela ut bonuspoäng. Syftet med denna undersökning är att se hur bra
För att få studenterna att arbeta kontinuerligt under kursens gång och reflektera över sitt eget lärande infördes delmålskontroller med kamraträttning i en grundkurs i programmering. Försöket slog väl ut. Studenterna arbetade kontinuerligt med kursen och deltog i stor utsträckning i delmålskontrollerna. Tentamensresultatet blev mycket bra. En positiv effekt av delmålskontrollerna var även att de g
Inslag av ämnesdidaktik i de högskolepedagogiska kurser som erbjuds idag är i stort sett obefintligt. För att råda bot på den bristen när det gäller matematik har en fem veckors kurs i matematikdidaktik för högskolan utvecklats och givits vid matematikcentrum under år 2005. Kursen fick många deltagare bland doktorander och yngre lärare och blev uppskattad. Vi beskriver motiven till att kursen kom
It sounds extreme to talk about getting higher quality at lower costs - and yet that is exactly what happens in eXtreme Programming. If it can be done for producing software products, we think it might be possible to carry over (all or most of) their techniques to teaching and get better teaching products (learning) at lower costs - simply by initiating eXtreme Teaching.
Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common causes of knee pain, and the most common form ofarthritis. It causes pain and disability, and there is currently no cure. Recent research in knee OA highlights therole of the meniscus in OA pathology. In this thesis, the overall aim was to study the proteome and microstructureof the human meniscus, both in healthy subjects and OA patients
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of women are evaluated for potential breast cancer and may experience mental distress during evaluation. We aim to assess the risks of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases during the diagnostic workup of potential breast cancer.METHODS: All women with a new diagnosis of unspecified lump in breast (N = 15,714), benign tumor or breast cancer in situ (N =
BACKGROUND: Pain is a common complaint presented in healthcare, but most epidemiological pain research has focused either on single pain conditions or on the adult population. The aim of this study was to investigate the 2017 consultation prevalence of a wide range of pain conditions in the general population of young people.METHODS: We used the Skåne Healthcare Register, covering prospectively co
Aims: This study aimed to examine the population-based Skåne Health-care Register (SHR) regarding feasibility for scientific research and also strengths and weaknesses. Methods: To analyse the feasibility of the SHR, we performed a bibliographic search for peer-reviewed articles based on SHR data from 2000 to 2018. To analyse strengths and weaknesses, we used original SHR data about coverage and v
Background: Little attention has been given to the risk of cardiovascular and psychiatric comorbidities during the clinical evaluation of a suspected hematological malignancy.Methods: Based on Skåne Healthcare Register, we performed a population-based cohort study of 1,527,449 individuals residing during 2005-2014 in Skåne, Sweden. We calculated the incidence rate ratios (IRRs) of cardiovascular d
While largely studied on the macroscopic scale, the dynamics leading to nucleation and fission processes in atmospheric aerosols are still poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we present a joint experimental-theoretical study of a model system consisting of hydrogen-bonded ammonia and water molecules. Experimentally, the clusters were produced via adiabatic co-expansion. Double ionizati
Background: Although reproductive history is recognised to affect the risk of breast cancer, current breast cancer screening guidelines do not consider risk differences by this important factor. As there is a need for an earlier screening in women at increased risk of breast cancer, we provided evidence-based risk-adapted starting age of screening based on different reproductive profiles.

The roles that adventitious roots play in flooding tolerance have been well-studied in willows, while which of the maximum height of adventitious roots and the abundance of adventitious roots in willows is more important for their flooding tolerance is not well known. In this study, we analyzed the effects of adventitious roots on the flooding tolerance of Salix cavaleriei by comparing the maximum
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide causing an estimated 700 000 deaths annually. Different types of treatment are available for patients with advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, including targeted biological agents, such as cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody that targets EGFR. We have previously reported a study indicating multiple levels of interaction between m
Cross-sectional and experimental research have shown that task-unrelated thoughts (i.e., mind wandering) relate to sleep disturbances, but there is little research on whether this association generalizes to the day-level and other kinds of task-unrelated mentation. We employed a longitudinal daily diary design to examine the within-person and between-person associations between three self-report i
