The study is based upon material which is a part of the Swedish Agency for Education's evaluation of oral production in year five at primary school. The overall aim of this study is to examine w h a t is assessed by describing the childrens speech, developing and testing criteria for the proficiency in speech in relation to this assessment. For qualitative purposes, a description of the phenomenon
Objective. The effect of repeated contralateral treatment with the kappa-opioid receptor agonist U-50,488H {trans-(+/-)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]-ben zene acetamide methanesulphonate} was investigated in rats with unilaterally induced adjuvant arthritis. Methods. Arthritis was induced by injection of Mycobacterium butyricum into the right hindpaw. Inflammatory paramet
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are widely used to estimate the risk of osteoporotic fractures. In addition, many other risk factors have been identified, sonic of which are known to add to the risk independently of BMD measurements. The combination of BMD with such risk factors increases the gradient of risk/standard deviation (SD) than that achieved by BMD alone. In this paper, we report
Consider a semigroup of composition operators $T_tf=f\circ \phi_t$, $t\geq 0$, acting on the standard Hardy space $H^p$ $(1\leq p<\infty)$ of the unit disk $D$. Assuming that the $\phi_t$ have a common fixed point at 0, a unique univalent function $h$ can be found such that $h(\phi_t(z))=e^{ct}h(z)$, $z\in D$, $t\geq 0$, where $c$ is a constant which is related to the infinitesimal generator $A$ o
Isocyanates are used mainly for manufacturing of polyurethane (PUR) foams, lacquers, elastomers and glues. The production of PUR exceeds 2 million tonnes per year and is increasing. Occupational exposure to isocyanates are associated with respiratory disorders. A method based on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of isocyanates, aminoi
The complete mitochondrial genomes of two reptiles, the common iguana (Iguana iguana) and the caiman (Caiman crocodylus), were sequenced in order to investigate phylogenetic questions of tetrapod evolution. The addition of the two species allows analysis of reptilian relationships using data sets other than those including only fast-evolving species. The crocodilian mitochondrial genomes seem to h
The equilibrium self-diffusion of water contained within the porous structure of three different types of starch, viz. corn, wheat and potato starch was investigated. The samples were exposed to humid air until they reached a certain water content, the value of which was determined from the 1H NMR free induction decays. The water self-diffusion coefficient was determined by means of a p
Catalysts belonging to the Mo-V-Nb-Te-O system have been prepared with both a slurry method and hydrothermal synthesis and were tested for propane and propylene ammoxidation to acrylonitrile. All samples were characterized with BET, XRD, ICP and XPS. The catalysts were found to consist of three phases, to which activity and selectivity correlations were made. The results indicate that both an orth
We generalize the concept of a 2-coloring of a graph to what we call a semi-balanced coloring by relaxing a certain discrepancy condition on the shortest-paths hypergraph of the graph. Let G be an undirected, unweighted, connected graph with n vertices and m edges. We prove that the number of different semi-balanced colorings of G is: (1) at most n+1 if G is bipartite; (2) at most m if G is non-bi
Abstract in Undetermined The approach of the mental landscape enlarges the perspectives for interpreting sites and settle- ments. In the Kullen district sites and settlements is theorized by breaking down the dichotomi- es of Mesolithic and Neolithic and the archaeologically constructed borderline between the periods. The terminology and the interpretation of site and settlement need to be extende
A discussion of what constitutes a good human being.
Out of Quality of Service reasons, higher priority shall in cellular networks be assigned to ongoing connections than to new call attempts. This can be accomplished through reserving a portion of the bandwidth assigned to a cell exclusively for high priority connections. A low priority call is only admitted to a cell if the unoccupied bandwidth in the cell following the acceptance of the call exce
OBJECTIVE: To illuminate the lived experience of women facing the threat of lossing their newborn child and then experiencing the reality of their infant's death. STUDY DESIGN: Sixteen women were interviewed approximately 2 years after the death of their infant using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. FINDINGS: The main theme was ambivalent transition into motherhood. The women went through
The distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-immunoreactivity was investigated in the rabbit maxillary sinus and adjacent ganglia. A moderate supply of NPY-containing nerve fibers occurred around seromucous glands and a denser supply around small blood vessels. Only a few immunoreactive nerve fibers were seen beneath the epithelium. Double immunostaining showed that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
