Barn med ätsvårigheter - Förhållningssätt och råd till förskolan

Timmarna på förskolan kan utgöra en stor del av små barns vakna tid, och många äter flera måltider per dag där. För barn med ätsvårigheter är det ofta en fördel, och förskolan kan bidra med mycket när det gäller ätträning. I denna korta och lättillgängliga bok kan pedagoger och föräldrar ta del av logoped Kajsa Lamms erfarenheter av arbetet med att lära små barn äta.

The Creation of Institutional Reality, Special Theory of Relativity, and Mere Cambridge Change

Saying so can make it so, J. L. Austin taught us long ago. Famously, John Searle has developed this Austinian insight in an account of the construction of institutional reality. Searle maintains that so-called Status Function Declarations, allegedly having a “double direction of fit” (i.e. a world-to-word and a word-to-world direction of fit), synchronically create worldly institutional facts, cor

Synthesis, life cycle assessment, and polymerization of a vanillin-based spirocyclic diol toward polyesters with increased glass-transition temperature

Bio-based rigid diols are key building blocks in the development and preparation of high performance bioplastics with improved thermal and dimensional stability. Here, we report on the straightforward two-step synthesis of a diol with a spirocyclic acetal structure, starting from bio-based vanillin and pentaerythritol. According to a preliminary life cycle assessment (LCA), the greenhouse gas emis

On the interaction between wort protein and iso-humulone : A study of surface rheology, interfacial structures and particle formation with the relevance to beer foam

Beer is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Foam is a unique characteristic of beer, contributing to mouthfeelings and visual perceptions. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to study the solution and interfacial properties ofbeer and assess them with regards to foam.The main aim of this thesis was to evaluate the main foam-promoting components of beer in terms of solution,interfacial prope

Patients’ experiences of using the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale for a person-centered care : A qualitative study in the specialized palliative home-care context

The aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of using the Integrated Palliative care Outcome Scale (IPOS) during specialized palliative home care. The study adopted a qualitative approach with an interpretive descriptive design. Interviews were performed with 10 patients, of whom a majority were diagnosed with incurable cancer. Our findings suggest that the use of IPOS as a basis for

Imputing missing data of function and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis registers : What is the best technique?

Objective To compare several methods of missing data imputation for function (Health Assessment Questionnaire) and for disease activity (Disease Activity Score-28 and Clinical Disease Activity Index) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Methods One thousand RA patients from observational cohort studies with complete data for function and disease activity at baseline, 6, 12 and 24 months were sel

Smokeless tobacco, snus, at admission for percutaneous coronary intervention and future risk for cardiac events

Objective To assess the risk of future death and cardiac events following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients using smokeless tobacco, snus, compared with patients not using snus at admission for a first PCI. Methods The Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry is a prospective registry on coronary diagnostic procedures and interventions. A total of 74 958 patients ad

Where is the 'global' in the European Union's Health Research and Innovation Agenda?

Global Health has not featured as prominently in the European Union (EU) research agenda in recent years as it did in the first decade of the new millennium, and participation of low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) in EU health research has declined substantially. The Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Framework adopted by the European Parliament in April 2019 for the period 2021-20

Phytate, iron, zinc, and calcium content of common Bolivian foods and their estimated mineral bioavailability

There is a scarcity of information on mineral and phytate content in plant-based foods in Bolivia. This study aimed to analyze iron, zinc, calcium, and phytate content and estimate the mineral bioavailability of foods consumed in Chapare, Bolivia. Minerals and phytate were analyzed, and bioavailability was estimated in 17 food samples. Leafy vegetables and green legumes had the highest mineral con

Synthesis of blood group Forssman pentasaccharide GalNAcα1-3GalNAcβ1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glcβ–R

Synthesis of the glycan part of Forssman glycolipid GalNAcα1-3GalNAcβ1-3Galα1-4Galβ1-4Glc–Cer in the form of 2-aminoethyl glycoside has been carried out. The glycoside has been converted into a lipophilic derivative capable of controlled inserting into erythrocytes. The obtained surface-modified cells, termed kodecytes, revealed a high level of the blood group system FORS serological activity.

Microfluidic Particle Sorting in Concentrated Erythrocyte Suspensions

An important step in diagnostics is the isolation of specific cells and microorganisms of interest from blood. Since such bioparticles are often present at very low concentrations, throughput needs to be as high as possible. In addition, to ensure simplicity, a minimum of sample preparation is important. Therefore, sorting schemes that function for whole blood are highly desirable. Deterministic l

Charge-photon transport statistics and short-time correlations in a single quantum dot-resonator system with an arbitrarily large coupling parameter

Electrical quantum conductors coupled to microwave resonators have in the last decade emerged as a versatile test bed for controllable light-matter interaction on the nanometer scale. Recent experimental progress with high-impedance resonators has resulted in conductor-resonator systems with a large, dimensionless coupling parameter λ 0.1, well beyond the small-coupling regime, λ1 Motivated by thi

Detecting parity effect in a superconducting device in the presence of parity switches

We present a superconducting device showing a clear parity effect in the number of electrons, even when there is, on average, a single nonequilibrium quasiparticle present and the parity of the island switches due to quasiparticles tunneling in and out of the device at rates on the order of 100 Hz. We detect the switching by monitoring in real time the charge state of a superconducting island conn

Stora boken om barn och mat

Stora boken om barn och mat är en gedigen handbok i de fem första åren av barnets ätande. Här finns fakta och tips kring hur föräldrar kan stödja sitt barns ätutveckling, förebygga matallergier, hantera barns ätkrångel samt få maten så näringsrik som ett litet växande barn behöver.

Electrostatic pair-potentials based on the Poisson equation

Electrostatic pair-potentials within molecular simulations are often based on empirical data, cancellation of derivatives or moments, or statistical distributions of image-particles. In this work we start with the fundamental Poisson equation and show that no truncated Coulomb pair-potential, unsurprisingly, can solve the Poisson equation. For any such pair-potential the Poisson equation gives two

Social assistance and mental health: evidence from longitudinal administrative data on pharmaceutical consumption

This paper adds to the small literature on the role of welfare benefits and mental health by studying the relationship between uptake of Social Assistance Benefit (SAB) and objective mental health measures. We use rich longitudinal administrative data on income, unemployment benefits and psychopharmaceutic prescriptions (antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hypnotics) for more than 140,000 Swedes in
