Kursbok om Alternativ och Kompletterande Kommunikation (AKK), med fokus på kommunikationshjälpmedel, praktiska metoder och förhållningssätt. Boken ingår i ett kursmaterial i tre delar, för utbildning av personliga assistenter och andra som arbetar och lever nära ungdomar och vuxna med omfattande kommunikationssvårigheter på grund av funktionsnedsättning.

Purpose: Endwall film cooling protects vane endwall by coolant coverage, especially at the leading edge (LE) region and vane-pressure side (PS) junction region. Strong flow impingement and complex vortexaa structures on the vane endwall cause difficulties for coolant flows to cover properly. This work aims at a full-scale arrangement of film cooling holes on the endwall which improves coolant effi

Forensic psychiatric patients constitute a heterogeneous patient group, with common comorbidity within the externalizing spectrum. Increased knowledge on early antecedents in the pathway to severe mental illness and criminality is needed. In this study, we investigated early onset externalizing behaviors in three groups of forensic psychiatric patients 1) patients without contact with child and ad

Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated in major depressive disorder (MDD). A measure of mitochondrial respiratory chain (RC) enzymatic activity—the Mitochondrial Health Index (MHI)—has previously been found to correlate with stress and emotional states in caregivers. We here report mitochondrial RC activities, mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn), and the composite MHI in unmedicated and

BACKGROUND: The frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) related complications in hematological patients has previously been studied but some uncertainty remains. Therefore, this observational cohort study was designed primarily to investigate mechanical and infectious complications related to CVC insertion in hematological patients and secondarily, to identify factors associated with these comp

BACKGROUND: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived pro-inflammatory protein, an inducer of endothelial dysfunction and vascular permeability and a promising prognostic biomarker in sepsis. This exploratory study aims to describe the kinetics of plasma HBP during septic shock and investigate an association between repeated measures of HBP concentration and cardiovascular organ dysfun

This paper exploits an arbitrary university eligibility rule in Sweden combined with regression discontinuity to estimate the impact of university education on health derived demand for medical care. We find a clear jump in university attendance due to university eligibility of between 10 and 14 percentage points. For females this implies a 30-40% drop in self-harm. For males it coincides with red

As researchers we are often faced with the difficult and demanding task of preparing models, and their computer implementations, for decision making, or, more recently, for integrated assessment. Such assessment often involves large scale problems, where the decisions to be made can deeply affect the environment, the social context and the economic background of regions and even nations. Yet, we f

We report a new method to select the optimal actuation frequencies in bulk acoustophoresis devices, by means of differential impedance spectrum analysis measured via the actuating piezoelectric transducer (piezo). The impedance spectra is rich of large spurious resonance peaks originating from bulk resonances not related to the channel resonance, Fig. 1a, why direct measurement of the piezo impeda

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of film holes’ arrangements and jet Reynolds number on flow structure and heat transfer characteristics of jet impingement conjugated with film cooling in a semicylinder double wall channel. Design/methodology/approach: Numerical simulations are used in this research. Streamlines on different sections, skin-friction lines, velocity,

The concentration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH, thyroliberin) in rat islets of Langerhans is 30-fold higher than in whole rat pancreas, indicating that the islets are the main source of pancreatic TRH. The TRH extracted from islets is indistinguishable from synthetic TRH in its immunological and biological properties and in its inactivation by human serum. The physiologic function of isle

Recent advances in materials science coupled with advanced manufacturing techniques have opened up new possibilities for generating sophisticated models of lung and airways containing cells. These models can be used for studying normal tissue homeostasis as well as for modeling lung development, disease, and regeneration. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a leading advanced manufactur

In an explorative manner, this article uses a data-driven digital history set-up to focus on how the Swedish Riksdag, its political parties and parliament members discussed media issues. By distant reading and topic modeling a dataset of more than 11,000 parliamentary minutes – approximately 400 million characters – the article gives a new perspective of Swedish media history in general and nation

Chromosomal rearrangements (e.g., fusions/fissions) have the potential to drive speciation. However, their accumulation in a population is generally viewed as unlikely, because chromosomal heterozygosity should lead to meiotic problems and aneuploid gametes. Canonical meiosis involves segregation of homologous chromosomes in meiosis I and sister chromatid segregation during meiosis II. In organism

Our ever-changing world has to a great extent created a need of efficient financial risk-management programs for financial institutions and corporations operating in a demanding international environment. These changes have however also increased the types of financial tools and derivatives used to handle the multifold macroeconomic exposures. Companies have therefore diversified opportunities to

I denna rapport föreslås en metod som syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen för identifiering av verifieringsbehovet, som rekommenderas i de svenska byggreglerna för analytisk dimensionering av byggnadstekniskt brandskydd. Syftet med denna rapport är att ge vägledning åt ingenjörer att noggrant ta reda på vilken effekt en förändring av en byggnads utformning har på byggnadens brandskyddssystem. Fö
