Bakgrund: Många äldre personer bor kvar i sina nuvarande bostäder och för de flesta betraktas hemmet ofta som en viktig och betydelsefull plats. Med stigande ålder tillbringar äldre vanligtvis även mer tid hemma, vilket bidrar till att hemmet blir den huvudsakliga platsen för dagliga aktiviteter. Inom arbetsterapi är människans aktivitet och görande centralt och genom att engagera sig i aktiviteBackground: Many elderly people remain in their current homes, and for most, home is often considered an important and meaningful place. With rising age, elderly typically spend more time at home, making it the primary setting for daily activities. In occupational therapy, human occupation is central, and participating in occupation promotes health. However, there is a lack of summary of exist

Bakgrund: Personer med svår psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter med bearbetning och hantering av sensoriska intryck i sin vardag. Detta kan påverka aktivitetsengagemang, leda till mindre upplevd kontroll i vardagen och ökad ångest. I dagsläget är forskning inom sensorisk modulering begränsad och det saknas evidens om mer omfattande interventioner som den nyligen utvecklade interventionen SensBackground: People with severe mental illness often experience difficulties with processing and managing sensory input in their everyday life. This can affect occupational engagement and lead to decreased sense of control in everyday life and increased anxiety. However, there is limited research on sensory modulation and more extensive interventions such as the newly developed Sensory Awareness Pr

The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om barn i skolåldern lär sig ord på ett främmande språk bättre genom Virtual Reality (VR), där flera sinnen används, eller genom en datorskärm som är en mer traditionell inlärningsmetod. Vidare var syftet att undersöka sambandet mellan koncentration och de två inlärningsmetoderna. Metod: I studien deltog 71 elever i årskurs 4 och 6. Deltagarna fick tränPurpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze whether school-aged children learn words in a foreign language better by using Virtual Reality (VR), where they use multiple senses, or by using a computer which is a more traditional way of learning.

Bakgrund: Upp till 90 % av alla som behandlats för huvud- och halscancer får lymfödem. Lymfödem i svalget kan bland annat leda till eller förvärra dysfagi. Idag finns det inget standardiserat svenskt material för att bedöma laryngofaryngeala ödem till följd av huvud- och halscancer. Syfte: Studien syftar till att reliabilitetstesta den svenska översättningen av revised Patterson Edema Scale, Sv-r-Introduction: Up to 90 % of patients treated for head and neck cancer suffer from internal and/or external lymphoedema. Internal lymphoedema can contribute to, or exacerbate, dysphagia. There are no standardized Swedish assessment materials for internal head neck lymphoedema following head and neck cancer.
