Vardagligt tal är i all sin enkelhet en mycket komplicerad process. Lyssnandet likaså. Att över huvudtaget hinna höra och förstå ord som forsar ur någons mun, är ett mindre under. Till synes enkla självklarheter i språket är resultatet av avancerade tolkningar, bedömningar och beslut. Här har mätningar av hjärnaktiviteten under lyssnandet visat sig rymma flera förklaringar till hur pratet når fram

En stor del av de bostäder som uppfördes före 1990 finansierades med statliga bostadslån och för dessa samlades det in en stor mängd uppgifter avseende byggnadernas tekniska lösningar. Uppgifterna publicerades årligen i Statistiska Meddelande från Statistiska Centralbyrån, SCB. I syfte att upprätta ett underlag för framtagande av typlösningar för energirenovering av dessa klimatskal har underlaget

ABSTRACT: Fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve are usually located distally in the forearm and may have characteristic features on MR imaging. Here we report a patient with an extensive fibrolipomatous hamartoma at an unusual location proximally in the arm, where a preoperative MR imaging was pathognomonic and diagnosis was verified by an incisional biopsy. We suggest that MRI should be p

Chronic pancreatitis is a common disorder of which the underlying pathogenic mechanisms still are incompletely understood. In the last decade, increasing evidence has shown that activated pancreatic stellate cells play a key role in the fibrosis development associated with chronic pancreatitis as well as pancreatic cancer. During pancreatic injury or inflammation, quiescent stellate cells undergo

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a novel apolipoprotein found mainly in high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Its function is yet to be defined. ApoM (25 kDa) has a typical lipocalin beta-barrel fold and a hydrophobic pocket. Retinoids bind apoM but with low affinity and may not be the natural ligands. ApoM retains its signal peptide, which serves as a hydrophobic anchor to the lipoproteins. This prevents ap

Context: Effect of GH therapy in short non GH deficient children, especially idiopathic short stature (ISS) has not been clearly established owing to lack of controlled trials until final height (FH). Objective: To investigate the effect of two GH doses compared with untreated controls on growth to FH in short children mainly with ISS. Design and Setting: A randomized, controlled, long-term multic

Detta är det första av tre inlägg för att ge perspektiv på IKT i matematik- undervisningen. Bakgrunden till inlägget är en nyligen släppt rapport från Skolverket, som visar att användningen av IKT är i stort sett lika låg i flera ämnen, som den var för tre år sedan. Det är, enligt rapporten, fortfarande ovanligt att eleverna använder datorer på lektioner i matematik. Det finns inte heller någon ty

The social consequences of agrarian change have been widely debated. The traditional view of the lower classes becoming increasingly vulnerable due to the loss of access to resources has been met with the revisionist view that this change was counteracted by an increase in the volume and regularity of employment due to investments and new farming practices. This article address this issue by study

Advanced fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD) is often progressive and associated with a high burden of symptoms and poor prognosis. Little is known about the symptom prevalence and access to palliative care services at end of life (EOL).
