Mycket forskning inom olika vetenskapsområden har länge haft fokus på social­tjänstens insatser för barn i olika avseenden och även på privatiseringen av verkstäligheten av vården. Det saknas däremot studier som fokuserar på förekomsten av privata konsulter som genomför barnavårdsutredningar. Det innebär också att det idag är oklart vilka konsekvenser en sådan förändring innebär för socialtjänsten

This chapter explores the initial development of VOT in three Swedish-speaking learners of French (age of onset: 3;0-3;5). Swedish uses long lag and short lag/lead to differentiate voiceless and voiced stops word-initially (Helgasson & Ringen 2008; Sundberg & Lacerda 1999). In French this distinction is made using short lag and lead (Kessinger och Blumstein 1997). Through a memory game wor

Otitis media is a common disease in childhood. In adults, the disease is relatively rare, but more frequently associated with complications. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are age-related differences in pathogen exposure, anatomy of the Eustachian tube and immune system. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between age and the mucosal immune system in the middle ear.

Background: It has been established that patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) often have co-existing asthma. Objective: We aimed to test two hypotheses: (i) upper and lower airway inflammation in CRSwNP is uniform in agreement with the united airways concept; and (ii) bronchial inflammation exists in all CRSwNP patients irrespective of clinical asthma status. Methods: We

Hypothesis: A number of bone-related genes may be responsible for the unique suppression of perilabyrinthine bone remodeling. Background: Bone remodeling is highly inhibited around the inner ear space most likely because of osteoprotegerin (OPG), which is a well-known potent inhibitor of osteoclast formation and function. However, other signaling molecules may also be responsible for the inhibitio

Conclusion: The endolymphatic sac is part of the membranous inner ear and is thought to play a role in the fluid homeostasis and immune defense of the inner ear; however, the exact function of the endolymphatic sac is not fully known. Many of the detected mRNAs in this study suggest that the endolymphatic sac has multiple and diverse functions in the inner ear. Objectives:The objective of this stu

Coroplastic studies refer to the study of terracotta figurines mostly through an art history ap-proach, where types and classes are defined through stylistic and aesthetic considerations. Such an approach is highly subjective and is based on the knowledge of the researcher interacting with the subject material. Moreover, the lack of agreed upon criteria for classification and the lack of quantitat

Common middle ear diseases may affect bone behavior in the middle ear air cell system. To understand this pathologic pneumatization, the normal development of bone in the middle ear should be investigated. The objective of this study was to analyze gene expression of bone-related signaling factors and gene sets in the developing middle ear. Microarray technology was used to identify bone-related g

Titta upp nattetid. Du ser stjärnor och stjärnbilder, månen och kanske några planeter. Men det finns mycket mer därute. Vårt universum är enormt och vi behöver stora teleskop, både markbaserade och rymdbaserade, för att observera det. Teleskop kan visa oss avlägsna galaxer, nebulosor och det ljus som våra ögon inte kan registrera. Med deras hjälp upptäcker vi hur nya stjärnor bildas, utvecklas ochLook up at night. You will see stars and constellations, the Moon and maybe even a few planets. But there is more out there.Our Universe is huge and we need large telescopes, both ground based and space based, to observe it. Telescopes can show us distant galaxies, nebulae and the light that our eyes can not register. With their help we discover how stars are born, how they evolve and explode. Wit

I denna planetariumvisning får våra besökare träffa en astronom från institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik som berättar om hur vi har kommit fram till det vi vet om Universum idag.Har du någonsin undrat om hur vi mäter avståndet till avlägsna stjärnor och galaxer? Hur stjärnorna bildas, utvecklas och exploderar? Undrar du om det finns liv i universum? Hur stort Universum är? Hur vi nu haIn this planetariumshow our visitors get to meet an astronomer from Lund Observatory who explains not only what we know about our Universe, but also how we know what we know. Have you ever wondered how we measure distances to stars and galaxies? How new stars are formed, how they evolve and why they explode? Do you wonder if there is life out there? How big our Universe is? How we have now discove

Runt vår stjärna Solen kretsar åtta planeter, samt dvärgplaneter, kometer och asteroider. Människor har rest till (och gått på) Månens yta, medan våra grannplaneter har besökts av olika rymdsonder och robotar som har skickat tillbaka bilder och mätningar. Från dessa lär vi oss ständigt nya saker om solsystemets olika himlakroppar. I denna planetariumvisning tar vi oss ut i rymden, reser bland planEight planets orbit our star, the Sun, along with dwarf planets, comets and asteroids. Astronauts have traveled to (and walked upon) the Moon, while our neighboring planets have been visited by an armada of space probes and rovers, which have returned data and images back to us. From these we are constantly learning new things about our Solar System.This planetarium show takes us flying out into s
