Kliniskt verksamma logopeder har uttalat ett stort behov av lämpliga test för bedömning av elevers aktiva ordförråd. De test som används för detta ändamål idag är inte optimala bland annat på grund av att de inte är konstruerade utifrån svenska förhållanden. Vi har som ett första steg till att tillgodose det aktuella behovet konstruerat ett material för bedömning av aktivt ordförråd. Vårt arbete g
Idiom är en typ av språkliga uttryck som vi ofta använder i vårt tal t ex "jag ska hålla tummarna". Vissa forskare menar att ju vanligare ett idiom är desto lättare har barn att förstå det. Andra forskare anser att graden av genomskinlighet i idiomet är avgörande för förståelsen. Vårt syfte var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan förståelse av idiom hos 51 normalspråkiga barn
Rhinosinusitis is the fifth most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed- but it is often done in vain. Currently, the only way to fully determine whether or not such treatment is actually needed is an invasive procedure. In order to spare patients from the discomfort that it would involve, this essential step is often skipped and instead, antibiotics are prescribed regardless. Using
Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas
This research proposes that an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the concept of culture and culture change could be beneficial for Sustainable Development. It explores the transferability of the DIKT Learning Model and theory of Creative Populations, originally found in management literature, and applies them to a social change corporation in Medellin, Colombia. The corporation analyzed
Pellets are a form of biomass used in highly efficient heating systems. Thus, development of pellet markets could improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, create employment opportunities, increase energy security, and improve air quality. The present research explores the development of the domestic pellet market in Bulgaria. The research’s objectives are to investigate bar
Exposure to vibrations from tools and machines used in construction work can induce damages to the human body. Oscillations around a fix point with a certain direction, frequency and magnitude describe the phenomenon vibrations. Their influence is generally expressed as acceleration [m/s2]. Furthermore, vibrations are separated in two categories; hand‐arm vibrations or whole body vibrations. Expos
I denna uppsatts behandlas barnpornografibestämmelsen i förhållande till våra konstitutionella rättigheter. Med anledning av det aktuella ”Mangamålet” där en serieöversättare innehavt mangateckningar och dömts för innehav av barnpornografi, har barnpornografibestämmelsen och rättsväsendet fått utstå mycket kritik. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda huruvida den nuvarande regleringen av barnpornogr
Design of a concrete column with biaxial moments and normal force is unpractical without the aid of a computer program. It is very time consuming to go through all calculations and to find a suitable layout of a cross-section and positioning of reinforcement for the final design. The goal of this thesis is to create a user friendly computer program for this problem. A critical pier in the Öland B
In Sweden suicide is, alongside traffic accidents, the most common cause of death amongst children. Every year approximately 30 children take their lives, and 2011 nearly 800 children was hospitalized after deliberately having harmed themselves. School is a place where children are forced to spend approximately 30 hours per week during at least nine years. Because of this school is where the state

This graduation project examines how pool fires in dike areas effect surrounding tanks containing liquid hydrocarbons, as well as other equipment in an oil refinery. The purpose of the report is to investigate a certain tank area at Preemraff Lysekil and give some suggestions to reduce the consequences of a dike pool fire. Calculations and simulations has been done according to heat radiation, flo
Issue of study: There is no clear framework for IPR negotiation to support the establishment of I-U collaboration by balancing their competing interests. For I-U collaborations within the same country, several sets of guidelines have been produced to emphasize IPR-issues in R&D collaborations. These have helped to increase awareness, but corporations and universities still report problems when
