The parental questionnaire FTF (Five to Fifteen) was given to parents of 76 children (mean age 11 years) diagnosed with ADHD. About half of the children had at least once been referred to a speech- and language pathologist. Most of them had not received any intervention or follow-up. A factor analysis identified six problem areas, which explain close to 75% of the total variation: Cognitive Skills
A thermoseparating random copolymer (Ucon 50-HB-5100) composed of (50%) ethylene oxide and (50%) propylene oxide has been used to form an aqueous two-phase system by heating the polymer-water solution above the cloud point of the copolymer. In the formed two-phase system a water rich top phase is in equilibrium with an aqueous polymer rich bottom phase. The partitioning of amino acids and peptides
Observations of mercury lines in the HgMn stars chi Lupi and HR 7775 made with the Hubble Space Telescope Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph are presented and analyzed. In chi Lupi we find that all observed lines are consistent with the same isotopic mixture (essentially pure (204)Hg). Strong ionization anomalies are present, with UV Hg I lines being too weak and Hg III lines too strong for the
Supply chain management involves the selection, coordination and motivation of independently operated suppliers. The central planner's perspective in operations management translates poorly to vertically separated chains, where suppliers recurrently seem to object to benevolent information sharing and centralized decision rights. Seen from the supplier's perspective, such resistance may very well
This report contains papers presented at a Research Seminar , or rather "workshop", organised by our Department. It is the third in a series. The previous seminars were held in 1993 and 19961• The seminar is "Nordic", by which is meant that the speakers came from the Scandinavian countries -Demnark, Norway, Sweden- and Finland. Certainly there are other Nordic countries in which frost is a real pr
Sjöbo - countryside in Sweden, became famous for something that isn´t flattering. They made a vote against refugees with residence permit and didn´t change their minds for more than 12 years. Since the year 2000 they have recieved refugees. This is an explorative study where we have chosen to interview four local politicians and two clerks from Sjöbo community. We looked at the change from a no to
The purpose with this essay was to examine and raise a child perspective on the inset home therapy. The purpose also included to get more knowledge about how much children in middle childhood are involved in investigations and social acts, and most of all when it comes to those measures that includes children themselves. We studied this from three different perspectives: one socialworker perspecti
This essay deals with the Swedish debate about high-performance bonuses in public administration; a subject which arose as it became clear that during a year of great financial losses, public companies had kept administering large bonuses. The study revolves around two main questions: How can bonuses in public administration be justified in general, and how does this apply to the Swedish high-perf
The purpose of this study and the overall question was to find reasons why individuals become overindebted. The main method has been record research. Application forms from 60 individuals regarding debt adjustment have been examined and analyzed. Functionalistic and marxistic theories have been used to achieve an overall understanding for the phenomenon. On a concrete level, theories by Peter Dell
This report describes the implementation and evaluation of COMSOL Multiphysics’ ability to simulate the thermomechanical response of a package material. The project was partitioned into three main parts. First, a quantitative assessment of COMSOL’s accuracy in modeling the large strain elastoplastic response of paperboard was con- ducted. Second, an evaluation was performed of COMSOL’s capability
This study investigates the mechanisms driving flocculation in potato-based milk analogues, a critical quality defect arising during long-term storage. Initial hypotheses implicated starch retrogradation as the primary destabilization mechanism, given its well-documented role in plant-based systems. However, enzymatic treatment with α-amylase successfully hydrolyzed amylose (confirmed via iodine s
This paper discusses the effects of different types of contamination on 4MOST stellar spectra. Three main types of contamination were tested. These were, a smooth function over the continuum, changing the H-alpha line, and adding telluric contamination. By knowing how much these experiments affected the generated values, it was possible to understand the importance of avoiding overfitting or under
This study investigates the individual usage of the Dublin Core metadata format in three Swedish Subject Based Information Gateways, SAFARI, Svenska miljönätet and Svesök. The authors also present the reader with an overview of the metadata concept and explains in particular the Dublin Core Element Set. The approach to the study is investigation of Dublin Core application from the viewpoint of thr
Expenditures on R&D in Sweden are the highest of all OECD countries in relation to its GDP. The level of education in Sweden is also among the highest in the OECD area. But despite of this, growth rates of GDP and productivity in Sweden can be considered as average levels compared to similar economies. Therefore, this paper questions whether R&D efforts in Sweden are optimal in a social pe
We report on extending hard X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) along with resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) to study ultrafast phenomena in a pump-probe scheme at MHz repetition rates. The investigated systems include low-spin (LS) Fe-II complex compounds, where optical pulses induce a spin-state transition to their (sub)nanosecond-lived high-spin (HS) state. Time-resolved XES clearly refl
BACKGROUND: The importance of genetic factors in the etiology of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has been suggested by family and population studies. However, the spectrum of malignancies associated with common genetic etiology and the effects of gender and age on familial risk have not been established.METHODS: Diagnoses of lymphoproliferative malignancies were compared in 15,799 first-degree relatives of
To determine the costs directly or indirectly related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. The secondary objective was to stratify the costs based on gestational age and/or birth weight. Systematic literature review. PubMed and Scopus were searched on 3 February 2020. Studies were selected based on eligibility criteria by two independent reviewers. Included studies were further
This work is a part of the evaluation of a novel technique for carbon capture that can be used for CCS (carbon capture and storage) in industry. The technique is based on chemical amine absorption and involve the sterically hindered amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in an organic solvent, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). The systems have shown promising potential for carbon dioxide removal beca
Our knowledge of the intestinal immune system of fish is rather limited compared to mammals. Very little is known about the immune cells including the phagocytic cells in fish intestine. Hence, employing imaging flow cytometry and RNA sequencing, we studied adherent cells isolated from healthy Atlantic salmon. Phagocytic activity and selected gene expression of adherent cells from the distal intes
