I två korta poddavsnitt berättar studenten Elsa om sina upplevelser av dyslexi i grund-och gymnasieskola och insikten om att det är bra att stå på sig när det gäller rätten till stöd. Elsa delar också med sig av studietips och strategier för dyslektiker, och hur hon framgångsrikt tar tag i sina universitetsstudier.

Molecular imprinted polymers are artificial, template-made materials with the ability to recognize and to specifically bind the target molecule. The aim of this study is to prepare supermacroporous cryogel with embedded bilirubin-imprinted particles which can be used for the selective removal of bilirubin from human plasma. N-methacryloyl-(L)-tyrosinemethylester (MAT) was chosen as the pre-organiz
Calbindin D-28k (calbindin) is a cytoplasmic protein expressed in the central nervous system, which is implied in Ca2+ homeostasis and enzyme regulation. A combination of biochemical methods and mass spectrometry has been used to identify post-translational modifications of human calbindin. The protein was studied at 37 degrees C or 50 degrees C in the presence or absence of Ca2+. One deamidation
The coadsorption of Cu(II) and glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, abbreviated to PMG) at the water-goethite interface was studied by means of batch adsorption experiments, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The system was investigated over the pH range 3-9 and at total concentratio
PURPOSE: To determine whether long-term treatment with the anti-epileptic drug vigabatrin causes damage to rabbit retina.METHODS: Five rabbits were treated continuously with a daily dose of vigabatrin solution per orally during a period of 1-8 months. Two rabbits receiving water were used as controls. Repeated full-field electroretinograms (every two weeks) were assessed during this period. Vigaba
The present studies examined the effects of oral treatment with cyclosporin A, betamethasone or azelastine administered over the time of sensitization with trimellitic anhydride on allergen-induced airway responses, compared to those of control animals given corn oil alone. Drugs were given for 8 days. The animals were sensitized with trimellitic anhydride (0.1 ml of 0.3% w/v) in corn oil given in
The uptake and assimilation of 15N-labelled ammonium was followed in Pinus sylvestris L. plants infected with four different ectomycorrhizal fungi, Rhizopogon roseolus Fr. Suillus bovinus (Fr.) O. Kuntze, Pisolithus tinctorius (Fr.) Fr. and Paxillus involutus (Mich. ex Pers.) Cohen & Couch. Plants were grown in flat perspex observation chambers or in Petri dishes containing non-sterile peat; i
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att analysera relationen och interaktionen mellan genus och nation i en svensk kontext under 1900-talets första hälft. När kvinnor mobiliseras nationellt inom olika typer av nationalism är det oftast moderskapet som åberopas. Detta är en av utgångspunkterna i avhandlingen. Föreställningar om ett nationellt moderskap återfinns också i flera olika sThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the relationship and interaction between gender and nation in a Swedish context, during the first half of the twentieth century. When women become mobilised on a nationwide basis within different types of nationalism, it is often motherhood that is invoked. This is just one point of departure in my dissertation. Perceptions of a national motherhood are also fou
Background: The purpose was to investigate adjuvant marrow-supportive high-dose chemotherapy compared with an equitoxicity-tailored comparator arm. Patients and methods: Five hundred and twenty-five women below the age of 60 years with operated high-risk primary breast cancer were randomised to nine cycles of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor supported and individually tailored FEC (5-fluorour
Background: Immunization programmes are ethically defensible and society has a significant role to play in providing vaccination against measles and safeguarding herd immunity to optimize its individuals' capabilities. Since preventive actions interfere with individuals who consider themselves as healthy, public health strategies - as distinct from advice in a clinical consultation - require somet
Cross-linking of polyvinylalcohol (PVA) by boronate-containing copolymer of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA, 1) was studied and compared to cross-linking of PVA by borate buffers in weakly alkaline solutions. The copolymer of M-w = 19,000 g mor(-1) containing 9 mol% N-acryloyl-m-aminophenylboronic acid (NAAPBA, 2) was prepared by free radical polymerization of the monomers, exhibiting copolymerizatio
PURPOSE To evaluate the early treatment response in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using a response-guided induction strategy that includes idarubicin in the first course. PATIENTS AND METHODS All Nordic children with AML younger than 15 years (n = 151) were treated on the Nordic Society for Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (NOPHO) AML 2004 protocol. After the first course of idarubic
Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) is a distinctive fibroblastic neoplasm that is characterized by alternating collagenous and myxoid areas, deceptively bland spindle cell morphology, a whorling architecture, and a t(7;16) translocation involving FUS and CREB3L2. Owing to variable morphology and a lack of discriminatory markers, LGFMS can be difficult to distinguish from benign mesenchymal tumo
We investigated the class II B genes in a free-ranging population of the ring-necked pheasant Phasianus colchicus by a combination of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and DNA sequencing. Special attention was paid to the variation in the second exon, which encodes the peptide-binding beta(i)-domain. The population was introduced, but it still exhibi
OBJECTIVE:: Emerging evidence suggests that women with vasomotor menopausal symptoms (VMS) may have an adverse cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk profile. We investigated whether VMS are related to an increased risk of future coronary heart disease (CHD) and whether possible associations can be explained by CVD risk factors. METHODS:: Data used were from a Dutch and Swedish population-based sample
PURPOSE: To evaluate the plasma level of different forms of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) as discriminators between malignant, borderline, and benign ovarian tumors and as prognostic markers in patients with ovarian cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The different suPAR forms were measured in preoperative plasma samples obtained from 335 patients with adnexal lesions using thr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Frågan om marknadshandelns karaktär har aktualiserats genom de skandaler inom företagsvärlden som media har lyft fram under senare år. Dagens situation väcker frågor om den handel som förekom i äldre samhällen? Existerade marknadshandel till exempel under vikingatid? Om så var fallet hur uppfattades och hanterades marknadshandel i detta samhälle? Handelns roll för det The view of the exchange and trade that took place during the Viking Age has varied considerably. This variation is obvious from a scrutiny of how one and the same place, Birka, is described by different scholars over a period of a hundred years. Two very polarized pictures of Birka appear: A town with a mostly free market-oriented trade or an emporium with an administered commodity exchange contr
Background How DNA repair enzymes find the relatively rare sites of damage is not known in great detail. Recent experiments and molecular data suggest that individual repair enzymes do not work independently of each other, but interact with each other through charges exchanged along the DNA. A damaged site in the DNA hinders this exchange. The hypothesis is that the charge exchange quickly libera
The Second String Quartet by Arnold Schoenberg, written in 1907 and 1908, is breaking musical traditions at least twice – (1) by leaving tonality, (2) by breaking the genre of string quartet, adding a voice who is interpreting two poems by the German symbolist Stefan George in its third and forth movements. In this paper, I want to raise the question about the reasons why Schoenberg might have add
The study of pragmatic markers attracts many scholars within the field of pragmatics, in particular in the area of radical pragmatics. Pragmatic markers are often perceived by speakers as having vague meanings that are hard to pin down in words. A pragmatic marker marker also often seem to contribute in different ways to the explicit or implicit message that the speaker wants to convey depending o
