Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta är en avhandling om hur en del av vårt meningsskapande går till, sedd genom åtta studenters användning av sina kontextuella resurser. Den handlar om hur vi lyssnar till auditiva, visuella och upplevda röster, och hur vi talar med stöd av dessa röster när vi skapar och utvecklar vår egen röst. Detta kallar jag för rapporterat lyssnande, d.v.s. dessa yttranden visarThis thesis has two points of departure and four main purposes. The first point of departure concerns the narrow perspective of the listening skill in Swedish. The first purpose is to show the lack of attention to the listening skill in research and mother tongue education in the Swedish compulsory school. Educational documents from 1842 to 2000 about Swedish as a school subject are examined from

In emerging and future copper access networks, the trend goes towards exploiting higher transmission bandwidths on shorter twisted-pair cables. Methods to accurately determine relevant transmission-line parameters are a prerequisite to exploit the potential of these short-to-medium range access lines. In this paper, we propose a model-based space-frequency optimization approach initially developed

Resonant inelastic soft X-ray scattering at the 3p resonances in crystalline Ge is presented. Both stationary and dispersive features are observed in a wide energy range above as well as below the ionization limits. These observations are in agreement with theoretical predictions based on a two-step model where the initially excited electron has no influence on the emission step. Excess population

This work presents a study of sensor network calibration from time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements for cases when the dimensions spanned by the receivers and the transmitters differ. This could for example be if receivers are restricted to a line or plane or if the transmitting objects are moving linearly in space. Such calibration arises in several applications such as calibration of (a

Objective. Development of ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis is an ominous sign with a poor outcome. A liver transplantation must be considered, and it then becomes important to know if there are any factors indicating a worsened prognosis. Material and methods. We used official registers for a follow-up study of at least 5 years considering the prognosis of 155 prospectively recruited in-pa

Människans minne är extraordinärt i sin förmåga att lagra stora mängder information men är samtidigt sårbart för förvrängningar och fel. Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigmet har i stor utsträckning använts för att undersöka förekomsten av falska minnen. Forskning har visat att deltagare ofta felaktigt identifierar semantiskt relaterade, men ej presenterade ord, så kallade “kritiska lockord” s

The use of detention centers for refugees in Sweden has been criticized over the last couple of years. The lack of resources and the shortage of accommodations have resulted in the use of alternative facilities such as police detentions and prisons. These alternative facilities has since 1994 been criticized by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture. But still the alternative detenti

Purpose: To avoid over-treatment of prostate cancer patients following screening for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, keeping patients on active surveillance has been suggested as an alternative to radical treatment. This means recurring visits for patients with low-grade cancer to monitor progression. Our aim was to develop an artificial intelligence-based model that can identify high-r

BACKGROUND. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that has been implicated in the modulation of growth and progression of prostate cancer. Decreased expression of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1, involved in regulation of cytokine and tyrosine kinase receptor signaling, has been shown to be associated with less favorable outcome among prostate cancer patients. METHODS. Parental LNCaP c

Studien ämnade att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar individers inre motivation för träning och hur sambandet mellan dessa faktorer såg ut. Faktorerna som undersöktes var upplevd kompetens, upplevd autonomi, upplevd samhörighet, utseende-motiv, ansträngning, fitness-motiv, genomsnittligt spenderade timmar på träning, genomsnittligt spenderade timmar på arbete eller studier och generell self-efThis study was aiming to investigate which factors influence individual’s intrinsic motivation for exercise and what their correlation to it was. The factors examined was perceived competence, perceived autonomy, perceived relatedness, appearance motives, effort, fitness motives, average hours spent on exercise, average hours spent working or studying, and general self-efficacy. The study chose to

Humant papillomvirus kanske du någon gång hört talas om. HPV, förkortningen som man vanligtvis benämner viruset med, är mest känt för sin olyckliga förmåga att orsaka hud- och könsvårtor på den mänskliga kroppen. För ungefär ett decennium sedan bevisades det att viruset även är en orsak till utvecklingen av en viss typ av cancer. Denna cancer, som utvecklas i vissa delar av huvudet och halsen, harHead and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) are a heterogenous group of cancers formed in squamous epithelial cells. In a few HNSCC, the cancer is developed because of long-term viral infection. Carcinomas of the Oropharynx (OPSCC) have a high rate of infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), where tonsils (TSCC) have the highest. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate differential expression b

Liksom många andra städer som är dominerade av bilar är Malmö pressat att skapa en radikal förändring mot en mer hållbar, yteffektiv och socialt rättvis rörlighet. I den här artikeln används ramverket Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) för att analysera mobilitetsdilemmat på tre nivåer: den dominerande anledningen till förändring, förhållningssättet till förändringen och en möjlig lösning i form av

The representation of expressivity of sound and colour in functional information is still a fairly unexplored field. Alternative ways of representing functional information are necessary when providing feedback in technical environments as homes, cars, nuclear power plants, and intensive care. One possible solution could be non-verbal representation of expressivity in functional information using

The water scarcity and its outcomes have been investigated by many researchers during several decades. This is another research that, opposed to most of the publications existing, focuses on the next forty years from 2010. In this thesis I investigate three outcomes of water scarcity, with regard to the Levant and the Jordan River: war, international cooperation, and a third path which is that e

In timber-concrete composites (TCC), more researchers are trying to find the “ultimate” shear connector, which combines multiple advantages. Bonded steel plates are one of the possible solutions. This paper provides an analytical and a numerical approach, calibrated with previously conducted experiments, to predict the load carrying capacity, and corresponding governing failure mode, of perfobond
