Abstract in UndeterminedObligatory educational training of Swedish university teachers rarely involves senior teaching staff from research-dominated environments, despite the positive effects of junior staff training. Senior science academics were surveyed to gauge their views on the principles of teaching and learning and of teaching rewards. These views were compared with educational developers'

Popular Abstract in Swedish Knäledsförslitning är vanligt. Ledsjukdom, med smärta och nedsatt funktion som följd, är den vanligaste kroniska sjukdomen hos äldre, vanligare än högt blodtryck, hjärtsjukdom och diabetes. Behandlingen av knäledsförslitning är fokuserad på smärtlindring. Till en början används vanligt mediciner mot smärtan, men senare i sjukdomsförloppet byts den smärtande leden ofta uThe overall purpose was to evaluate patient-relevant outcomes in patients with knee injury and post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. A self-administered questionnaire, The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was developed by literature search, consulting an expert panel (including patients referred to physical therapy because of knee-related problems, orthopedic surgeons, and

Abstract in Undetermined Distractors and environmental noise has long been regarded as detrimental for cognitive processing. In particular children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are extremely sensitive to distraction from task irrelevant stimuli. However, recently it has been shown that exposure to auditory white noise facilitated cognitive performance in ADHD children where

Due to the sessile nature of plants, it is crucial for their survival and growth that they can handle a constantly changing, and thus stressful, ambient environment by modifying their structure and metabolism. The central metabolism of plants is characterized by many alternative options for metabolic pathways, which allow a wide range of adjustments of metabolic processes in response to environmen

Kursen ”Elektronikprojekt och hållbar utveckling” ges för årskurs tre på elektroteknikprogrammet. Kursen består av två delar, en projektdel och en föreläsningsdel. Under projektdelen arbetar teknologerna i grupper om fyra med olika projekt i elektronik. Föreläsningsdelen består av sju stycken tvåtimmarsföreläsningar som ägnas åt miljökunskap. Vi kommer här att redogöra för hur föreläsningsdelen ge

This is a macro-historical study of China's strategic behaviour. China’s national defence has long posed an issue for Western observers and scholars. For generations, China’s attitude to warfare has been considered markedly pacifistic, and its concomitant military strategies primarily defensive. However, in his book Cultural Realism, Harvard’s Alastair Iain Johnston surprisingly concludes that Chi

Intermolecular interactions are responsible for the deviations of gases from ideality, determine the three- dimensional structure and folding dynamics of biological molecules, and the binding of molecules to surfaces as in heterogeneous catalysis. The hydrogen bond is the most important intermolecular interaction. The most simple intermolecular interaction free from solvent and lattice effects ari

Popular Abstract in Swedish 1993 inleddes FINSAM, en försöksverksamhet för finansiell samordning av socialförsäkringens och hälso- och sjukvårdens resurser i fem svenska landsting. Genom att erbjuda tidigare vård och olika typer av rehabilitering hoppades man kunna reducera antalet sjukskrivningsdagar.

The purpose of the experiment was to co-ordinate the resources in the social insurance system and the health and medical services. The reform originated in the context of an increase in social insura

Action research brings to the fore questions regarding both the power over knowledge building and, consequently, questions on the quality of knowledge. Action research makes visible two dimensions that in this regard are significant. First, the dimension outside-inside where action research more than traditional research voice an inside perspective. This means that those on whom research is conduc
