Adult education in Sweden is extensive, based on a long tradition and range from higher education to non-formal popular education. Swedish adult education is highly decentralised and autonomous. As a general principle, adult education is free of charge for the learners and financed by the public budget. The Swedish perspectives takes it’s starting point from the initiatives of OECD, the European C
Pictures taken with digital cameras have become an alternative and a complement to symbols in communication for persons with cognitive disabilities. We have started a discussion forum on digital pictures on the internet. The postings from the discussion forum were analyzed to see what kind of use of digital pictures that professionals and parents are interested in. To validate the results, an e-
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cerebral palsy (CP) as well as to characterize the CP population, its participation in a secondary prevention programme (CPUP) and to validate the CPUP database. Methods The study population was born 1990–1997 and resident in Skåne/Blekinge on Jan 1st 2002. Multiple sources were used. Irrespective of earlier diagnoses, neuropa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Eftersom allt i och runt oss består av kemikalier är det av högsta vikt att vi förstår hur dessa reagerar med varandra. Katalytiska omvandlingar är kemiska reaktioner där en katalysator underhåller en reaktion utan att själv förbrukas. Inom metallorganisk kemi är tillverkning och förstålelsen av hur komplex med övergångsmetaller kan användas vi katalys mycket viktig. KoAbstract The work presented in this thesis discusses synthesis of PCP-complexes and utilisations of such organometallic compounds in catalysis. The complexes, obtained by intramolecular Csp3-H activation, are based on the metals palladium, platinum and iridium. The synthesis of PCP-ligands include new and improved preparative routes to the previously known cis-1,3-bis-(di-iso-propylphosphinito)cy
The objective of this paper is to provide a classification of recycling policy measures in relation to the actual recycling levels achieved in the EU Member States and in the European Environment Agency member countries. The paper covers the following five waste streams: packaging waste, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), municipal solid waste (MSW), biodegradable municipal waste (B
Emergency management practice can be supported by ICT in many ways, and numerous ICT-based systems are available that offer support in the different phases of emergency management. Yet, many such systems do not provide as much support to emergency management as expected or wished for. In some situations they may even compromise emergency management performance, due to suboptimal adaptation to the
När man analyserar uppfattningen om globala miljörisker genom att bygga på undersökningar kring allmänhetens rankningar av risker står man inför flera typer av tolkningsproblem, vilket den genomförda analysen visar. Även om man använder väl definierade kvantitativa metoder så återstår metodologiska problem, såsom Galtons problem kring mikro- och makroanalyser, tolkningsproblem kring representativi
Transnational stardom, in the sense that particular star actors constitute a genuine draw for audiences in other European countries than that of the film’s origin, appears an increasingly rare thing within the continent’s cinema. In short, a transnational star system is wanting. Had it existed, more attractive films would most undoubtedly be a reality. Furthermore, with such a system in place film
Software developers in large projects work in complex information landscapes, and staying on top of all relevant software artifacts is challenging. As software systems often evolve for years, a high number of issue reports is typically managed during the lifetime of a system. Efficient management of incoming issue requires successful navigation of the information landscape. In our work, we address
Popular Abstract in English Since 1947 when the first transistor was invented, electronics was transited into an unprecedented era. Different from a resistor that only has two terminals with the applied voltage and flowing current always obeying Ohm's law, a transistor has the third terminal in between, called "gate", which is made by, for metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETThe emerging nanowire technology in recent years has attracted an increasing interest for high-speed, low-power electronics due to the possibility of a gate-all-around (GAA) geometry enabling aggressive gate length scaling, together with the ease in incorporating high-mobility narrow band gap III-V semiconductors such as InAs on Si substrates. These benefits make vertical nanowire transistors an a
Publisher Summary: This chapter discusses two major developments that have taken place over the past decade. First is the enormous wealth of energy band calculations that have had tremendous success in explaining the properties of specific solids, but in which the connection with first principles is not always apparent. Second is the spectacular progress of many-body theory applied to the solid st
