The numbers of Somali immigrants in Sweden has increased during the last years and there is a need of more competence for teaching Swedish as a second language to this group.Star This paper investigates aspects of difficulties in the pronunciation of Swedish for Somali speakers. Recordings of two Somali speakers living in Sweden have been analyzed and it is obvious that there are pronunciation dif
Kan man göra sig en bild av Gud? För de första kristna som levde i en värld fylld av gudabilder var frågan mycket konkret. Trycket från omvärlden på att namnge och synligt presentera den kristne guden var starkt. Men hur skulle man kunna avbilda den som intet öga sett, den som inte låter sig avbildas? Hur tala om den som inget öra hört, den som är ofattbar? De här samlade artiklarna från det sjätt
It has been predicted theoretically that for some environments, the capacity of wireless MIMO systems can become very low, even for uncorrelated signals; this effect has been termed "keyhole" or "pinhole". We present the first unique measurements of this effect. The measurements were performed in a controlled indoor environment that was designed to obtain a keyhole. We analyze the limitations for
Considers the problem of moving a container with liquid without too much slosh in an industrial packaging machine, There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine to use for control, it is however possible to measure the slosh in a testbed. The problem is to determine the shape of the open loop acceleration reference that is programmed in the motion control system that controls the m
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det doktorandarbete som framläggs av Pawel Brühl handlar om flera aspekter av ett framgångsrikt genomfört bullerskyddsarbete i en stor svensk industri med mycket hög bullernivå (Volvos pressverk i Olofström). Man har genomfört ett program bestående av bullermätningar, bullerreduktion med flera metoder samt studium av automatiseringens konsekvenser. Arbetstagarna har fåtThe design and implementation of a hearing conservation programme in a heavy industry with high noise levels is described. Action was taken on several points, including noise measurements, noise reduction, education on hearing protector use, and audiometric monitoring. It was found that the noise at the plant has been greatly reduced during a period of 25 years. The reduction in noise was made pos

When thin sheets containing a crack is subjected to tensile loading in the direction perpendicular to the crack surface out of plane displacement will occur in areas surrounding the crack. By this the stress state in the vicinity of the crack tip is changed and leads to a weaker crack tip singularity than the r-1/2 by linear elastic fracture mechanics. During lab testing the buckling is artificial
Popular Abstract in Swedish Storbritannien beslutade sig 1968 för att lämna bakom sig sina koloniala intressen i Persiska gulfen senast 1971. Det brittiska beslutet ledde till att de arabiska gulfstaterna Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudiarabien, Qatar, Förenade Arabemiraten och Oman i sin tur började undersöka möjliga samarbetsformer för att möta en ny tids osäkerhet och hot. Ett stort problem efter det briWhen Britain decided, in 1968, to terminate its official colonial presence in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf as of 1971, this action prompted the Gulf Arab States (Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Oman) to start the search for a form of partnership that would bring them together to better cope with the insecurity and danger surrounding them and their regimes. A key probl
Since over ten years, the Pordenone Silent Film Festival hosts masterclasses in which renowned pianists every day teaches, discusses and play silent films together with two selected young pianists who in this way get an intensive week of training the art of accompanying films. The masterclasses are open to the participators of the festival, and in this article we become part of the audience in fol
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kognitiv funktion är ett samlingsbegrepp för minne och högre tankeprocceser. Nedgången i dessa verbala, logiskt-induktiva, spatiala och minnes funktioner ses både vid normalt åldrandet och sekundärt till demens, stroke och åldersrelaterad minnesstörning. Förändringar i dessa funktioner kan vara ett tidigt tecken på vaskulärt (kärl-relaterad) betingad sjukdom eller degenThe importance of early detection of brain changes during ageing has been recognised. Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is a method used for estimation of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in clinical work and in research. The aim of thesis was to study CBF in demented and non-demented elderly persons with special reference to blood pressure changes. Elderly women with senile dementia of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det är välkänt att patienter som har gjort ett suicidförsök löper en ökad risk att i framtiden ta sitt liv. I de flesta fall görs suicidförsök av individer som på något sätt är utsatta för stress. Stress kan orsakas av en psykisk eller fysisk sjukdom. Psykosociala faktorer, såsom en skilsmässa eller en annan ohållbar situation i hemmet eller på arbetet, kan också förorsA suicide attempt is the best known predictor of completed suicide. It has long been assumed that most suicide attempts are the results of stress. The aim of this thesis was to examine some stress related peptides and their relations to the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis, diagnoses and temperament in a heterogeneous group of suicide attempters shortly after a suicide attempt and at foll

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ser man bakåt i historien har människan alltid försökt reparera eller ersätta vävnader i kroppen vid skador. En av de äldsta rapporterna om användande av biomaterial är runt 4000 år gammalt. I detta fall användes linnefibrer som suturmaterial. Från början användes naturliga material som collagen, silke, hår, bomull och olika cellulosamaterial. Under senare hälften av 19The aim of the this thesis was surface modification of a biomedical polyurethane (PUR), Pellethane 2363-80AE*, to improve the biocompatibility. Surfaces modified by poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) were prepared either by grafting PEO covalently at the PUR surface by a two-step reaction, or by using amphiphilic polymers containing PEO as the hydrophilic part. The amphiphilic polymers consisted of one co
