Spontaneous speech samples from 10 Swedish children were collected and analyzed grammatically. The subjects consisted of 5 children with SLI and 5 MLU matched controls with normal grammatical development. The children with SLI differed significantly from the controls in their more restricted usage of word order patterns and in number of grammatical errors. As in studies on English-speaking childre

When measuring the production rates of heat and smoke of upholstered furniture the ignition source must not influence the test results. In this paper variations in the strength, application time and geometry of the ignition burner used in the furniture calorimeter are studied. Results from replicate furniture calorimeter chair test show that the burning behaviour is almost independent of the burne

In this paper, I shall present and discuss some possible criteria of narrativity with regard to their applicability to pictorial objects. More specifically, I will argue that pictorial works may express or imply fictional narrative structures. First, as I would like to argue, the concepts of fiction and narrativity could and should more thoroughly be investigated with regard to other media, such a

This work represents an amalgam of a group of studies with the purpose of understanding the influence of the Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperature on precipitation and river discharge in Northeastern South America. Sea surface temperature is a good representative of phenomena such as ENSO that, in turn, cause worldwide climate variability. The patterns of the Atlantic Ocean sea surface tem

In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from

The Leon-Chinandega plains are located in the north-western part of Nicaragua and represent the most important groundwater reservoir of the country. The aquifer is comprised of three hydrogeological units. The top unit is an unconfined alluvial and below a more consolidated volcanic aquifer is found. These aquifers rest on an ignimbrite unit that acts as the basement of the aquifer. The plains are

A novel method for detection of reducing ends of sugars is proposed, based on the use of Fe(CN)(6)(3-) as the oxidant in combination with amperometric detection and flow injection analysis (FIA). The method is very sensitive, giving values of < 10 mu M for the limit of detection for a series of mono- and oligosaccharides. Samples can be analysed every 30 s, and injection can be made fully automate

Popular Abstract in SwedishAvhandlingens syfte var att öka kunskapen om syskons och föräldrars erfarenheter av barn med autism och utvecklingsstörning, vad som ledde fram till beslutet att söka en plats i en gruppbostad för sitt barn och vad det innebar för föräldrar att deras barn flyttat. Avsikten var också att öka kunskapen om personalens erfarenheter av arbetet i en gruppbostad för barn med auThe aim of this dissertation was to gain knowledge about the experiences of siblings and parents of children with autism and learning difficulties, about what brought about the decision to apply for a place in a group home for their child and what it meant for the parents that their child had moved. A further aim was to gain knowledge about what it is like to work in a group home for children with

The thermal unfolding of three SH3 domains of the Tec family of tyrosine kinases was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and CD spectroscopy, The unfolding transition of the three protein domains in the acidic pH region can be described as a reversible two-state process. For all three SH3 domains maximum stability was observed in the pH region 4.5 < pH < 7.0 where these domains unfold at

The research presented in this thesis is primarily focused on experimental investigations of laser-driven ion acceleration from solid targets via the target normal sheath acceleration mechanism. In particular, ways of optimizing the absorption of the laser pulse energy by free plasma electrons in the target, or modifying the shape of the accelerating electron sheath were addressed. The aim of this

Somatic mutation activity in immunoglobulin V kappa genes during the response to the hapten 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone was measured in lymph node B-cell populations at various timepoints after footpad immunization. When the V kappa Ox1 genes rearranged to the J kappa 5 segment were amplified from genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and sequenced, somatic mutations could be detected as early

Models of coupled oscillator networks play an important role in describing collective synchronization dynamics in biological and technological systems. The Kuramoto model describes oscillator's phase evolution and explains the transition from incoherent to coherent oscillations under simplifying assumptions, including all-to-all coupling with uniform strength. Real world networks, however, often d

A striking feature of nucleic acids and lipid membranes is that they all carry net negative charge and so is true for the majority of intracellular proteins. It is suggested that the role of this negative charge is to assure a basal intermolecular repulsion that keeps the cytosolic content suitably ‘fluid’ for function. We focus in this review on the experimental, theoretical and genetic findings

Background: Glaucoma has a familial component but detailed data on the modification of familial risks are lacking. The aim of the study was to determine detailed familial risks for medically diagnosed glaucoma based on nationwide hospital and population records. Methods: Subjects were obtained from the Multigeneration Register, contains the Swedish population in families, and glaucoma patients wer

Children’s biographies are only rarely and more recently considered. In this paper, we make a case for thinking biographically about children’s relational lives. Using two qualitative case studies from research with children in middle childhood, in the UK and Sweden, we attend to the materiality of children’s biographies. We explore the way in which home spaces, possessions, family mementoes and mChildren’s biographies are only rarely and more recently considered.

The consumption of legume seeds in developing countries is very important because of their low cost and valuable nutritional characteristics (high protein, digestible and indigestible carbohydrates, and polyphenols content). However, limited information is available on the indigestible carbohydrates and the antioxidant capacity of legumes growing in Mexico. The cooked seeds of three Mexican pulses
