BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often walk with a slower speed and a higher energy cost. Their walking performance and choice of mobility method may vary in different environments. Independent mobility is important for activity and participation. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We described walking performance at different distances and environments in relation to gross motor function, CP subtyp
Uterine clear cell carcinoma (UCC) and uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) are rare entities that differ in clinical behavior from endometrial adenocarcinoma. Compared with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, they more often metastasize early and more commonly in the upper abdomen including the omentum. Treatment programs of UCC and UPSC at different stages vary and range from no adjuvant therapy i
Headaches, especially migraine, involve not only pain but also aspects such as vasodilation of cranial vessels and sensitization of nerve endings, processes dependent on and connected to the central nervous system. To understand pathogenic mechanisms of headache, it is important to elucidate the central projections of sensory nerves that innervate cranial vessels, of which the middle meningeal art
Previous studies on lymphocytes have suggested that patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) have an increased susceptibility for chromosomal damage induced by bleomycin, a known radiomimetic mutagen. However, it has so far not been possible to study whether this genetic instability is present also in the epithelial component of the upper aerodigestive tract mucosa, the tissue f
Popular Abstract in SwedishBarnets andra levnadsår präglas till stor del av en enorm utveckling av språkliga färdigheter. Omkring ettårsåldern börjar de flesta barn säga sina första ord. Det produktiva ordförrådet (de ord barnet kan säga) växer till en början ganska långsamt, men inlärningstakten ökar successivt. Mellan 1 ½ och 2 år genomgår många barn något som brukar kallas för ”ordförrådsspurt”This dissertation investigated electrophysiological measures of individual differences in toddlers’ ability to learn novel object labels and process familiar object words and their referents. The studies measured both visual and auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to pictures of objects and words in a longitudinal sample of 20- to 24-month-olds, an age of dynamic vocabulary develo
Popular Abstract in English Global invasion of our precious watercourses by cyanobacteria poses great threat to human- and animal health by deteriorating water systems. In fact, this problem is not likely to be solved in the near future as cyanobacteria are associated with pollution of waterways. Consequently, water sources are subject to contamination by natural toxins produced by abundant growthCyanobacteria blooms are a water menace since they produce potent toxins that have been implicated in poisonings and deaths of humans and animals after consumption or contact with cyanotoxin-contaminated water. Of particular concern are cyanotoxins called microcystins, which are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides known to promote development of liver tumors in humans and animals. The high toxicity and in
Previous attempts to construct an integrative framework for personality psychology are primarily descriptions of what the field looks like today rather than analyses of its logical structure and research possibilities. I aim to draw attention to logically important points that may help to integrate the field and suggest potentially fruitful research paths that are unrealized due to historical c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förpackningar finns nästan överallt! Ta en titt nästa gång du äter frukost – redan där på morgonen möter och hanterar du ett flertal olika livsmedelsförpackningar. De finns där även om du kanske inte tänker så mycket på dem, mer än när de är svåröppnade, svåra att hälla ur eller när de rent av läcker. Förpackningar har som jag ser det tre funktioner: de ska kunna skyddaPrevious research has argued that packaging has a great potential to contribute to sustainable development, but how to put this potential into practice is not yet fully explored. The theoretical foundation of the research presented is at the intersection of packaging logistics and sustainable development. This foundation was chosen because it offers established models that are well linked to the h
This research will explore the field of social movements by explaining why and how a minority social movement persists despite persistent constraints placed upon it by a majority-dominated state. The Chinese education movement has been one of the largest and most sustained social movements in Malaysia. Sociological, economic, and demographic changes of the Chinese community along with domestic pol
The purpose of the thesis has been to examine the portrayal of the relationship between victims and perpetrators in cases of child sexual abuse within the framework of Swedish law. The concluding discussion addresses the following research questions: How is the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator depicted in Swedish court judgments on child sexual abuse? What role does gender play
This study explored the importance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in maintaining gut health and how different diets affect their levels. Blood plasma and serum samples from mice subjected to two intervention studies on oats and fruits were analysed to determine SCFA concentrations. Using a one-way ANOVA, the study compared SCFA levels in five different diet groups focused on fruit supplementa
Workplace incivility has been shown to affect the individual and organization negatively. Studies have also indicated that workplace incivility is a relatively common phenomenon in Sweden. In connection with the pandemic, working life has become increasingly digital, which has normalized video meetings. Therefore, more knowledge is requested about workplace incivility in digital meetings. This pre
Zooarchaeological studies have played a crucial role in understanding the pre-historic societies of Scania. The analysis of animal remains from archaeological sites has provided insights into the subsistence strategies, economic practices, and cultural beliefs of the people who lived in the region. Remains from horse, dog, wild boar, and man are commonly observed in offering and burial contexts. D
Social collaboration tools, such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, are highly appreciated in the modern workplace due to their enabling of efficient communication and collaboration. Research highlight that the tools are making communication more visible, which is said to increase collaboration, productivity, and knowledge-sharing between organizational members. This thesis problematizes the lack of pr
