Reading utilises at least two neural pathways. The temporal lexical route visually maps whole words to their lexical entries, whilst the nonlexical route decodes words phonologically via parietal cortex. Readers typically employ the lexical route for familiar words, but poor comprehension plus precocity at mechanically 'sounding out' words suggests that differences might exist in autism. Combined

OBJECTIVE: Employment rates are significantly lower among individuals with arthritis compared to a general population. There is, however, limited research about how men with arthritis perceive their ability to maintain working. The aim of this study was thus to explore their perception of this. PARTICIPANTS: Nine employed men with arthritis were purposively sampled. METHODS: Interviews were perfor

Background: Over time, methods for the development of clinical decision support (CDS) systems have evolved from interpretable and easy-to-use scoring systems to very complex and non-interpretable mathematical models. In order to accomplish effective decision support, CDS systems should provide information on how the model arrives at a certain decision. To address the issue of incompatibility betwe

Single photons detected by the DELPHI experiment at LEP2 in the years 1997-2000 are reanalysed to investigate the existence of a single extra dimension in a modified ADD scenario with slightly warped large extra dimensions. The data collected at centre-of-mass energies between 180 and 209 GeV for an integrated luminosity of similar to 650 pb(-1) agree with the predictions of the Standard Model and

The purpose of this study is to explore the enhancement of innovation in the public sector when municipalities use innovation hubs to meet global and social challenges. The study is aimed at examining the process of how the hubs implement innovation. This research contributes to the Swedish research of innovation and provides knowledge to managers about beneficial methods regarding managing change

Studien är en del i det ordinarie kvalitetsarbetet på en psykiatrisk öppenvårdsenhet. Syftet var att undersöka huruvida den behandling som erbjuds individer med emotionellt instabilt personlighetssyndrom (EIPS), Mentaliseringsbaserad terapi (MBT), har någon inverkan på patienternas psykiska hälsa/ohälsa. För att göra detta användes Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measures (CORE-O

The world of work is central to development, if one defines development as economic and social progress and wellbeing of individuals, families and societies. In the last decades of globalization the International Labour Organization has struggled to retain relevance and ensure “decent work” for all. The introduction of the 2019 ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work sets up new guiding p

To develop treatments for currently uncurable neurological disorders, more knowledge is needed of the involved neural circuits and changes in gene expression. The padlock probe technique, in which linear DNA probes are circularized and amplified when hybridized to their cDNA target sequence, has previously been used for both multiplexed gene detection and neuronal projection mapping in brain tissu

Violence against women is a serious human rights violation and a major cause of reduced of life, distress, injury and death for female. According to World Health Organization, 1 in 3 women around the world experience physical or sexual violence, mostly by an intimate partner. This study attempts to contribute to our understanding the problem of violence against women and State obligation with a f

Background & Aim: The imaging process following the treatment of 177Lu-DOTATATE is in some medical clinics demanding on both patients and the clinic. Usually a number of images are acquired, with different time intervals to the time of injection. To facilitate for the patient and create the opportu- nity to treat more patients it is desirable to simplify the imaging process. At Skåne Universit

Preservatives and non-ionic surfactants are frequently used in biological drugs for multiple dosage. However, the most commonly used surfactants and preservatives are known to be incompatible with each other, leading to the solution becoming turbid due to precipitation. This study aims to investigate at which concentration regions precipitation occurs between non-ionic surfactants (polysorbate

Determining how proteins interact with each other to form complexes is very important for understanding both disease and cellular functions, but experimentally determining the structures of these complexes is both tedious and slow, which is why a great number of protein-protein docking algorithms have been developed to predict them. To this day, conformational changes in protein backbones have bee

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the phenomenon of country branch’s communication alignment between the corporate and country-specifics, based on the example of the German development organisation GIZ and its country branch GIZ Pakistan. This includes how the communication strategy and concepts are aligned and how the alignment is negotiated and decided. The analysis is guided by the interp

The thesis is to develop a 3D printer that easily and conveniently can print with recycled plastic such as PET bottles, plastic packaging and much more. The printer will be designed according to the needs of a developing country. The idea is not to create an additive manufacturing factory but an effective manufacturing tool for the locals in the less developed parts of the country. The printer can

As digital cameras become cheaper and better, computers more powerful, and robots more abundant the merging of these three techniques also becomes more common and capable. The combination of these techniques is often inspired by the human visual system and often strives to give machines the same capabilities that humans already have, such as object identification, navigation, limb coordination, an

This paper presents a voltage-source-converter (VSC)-FfVDC-supplied industrial system with onsite generation where the VSC-HVDC and generator are taking part in the voltage and frequency control. The reason for using a frequency controller in the converter is to increase the ridethrough capability of the VSC-HVDC-supplied industrial system by exploiting the inertia energy of rotating masses in cas

Achromatopsia is a congenital, autosomal recessively inherited disorder characterized by a lack of color discrimination, low visual acuity (<0.2), photophobia, and nystagmus. Mutations in the genes for CNGA3, CNGB3, and GNAT2 have been associated with this disorder. Here, we analyzed the spectrum and prevalence of CNGB3 gene mutations in a cohort of 341 independent patients with achromatopsia. In

Background: Abdominal surgery for cancer carries a high risk of venous thromboembolism, but the optimal duration of postoperative thromboprophylaxis is unknown. Methods: We conducted a double-blind, multicenter trial in which patients undergoing planned curative open surgery for abdominal or pelvic cancer received enoxaparin (40 mg subcutaneously) daily for 6 to 10 days and were then randomly assi
