Syfte: Studiens syfte var att jämföra bedömningsinstrumentet Bayley-4 med Nya Reynell genom användning på barn i åldern 30–42 månader för att undersöka om de fångar upp samma aspekter av språklig förmåga. Vidare var studiens syfte att undersöka om Bayley-4 kan vara lämpligt att använda på logopedmottagningar. Metod: Deltagare bestod av fem barn inom åldersspannet. Barnen kom från två olika förskoAim: The purpose of the study was to compare the assessment instrument Bayley-4 and New Reynell Developmental Language Scales to investigate whether they capture the same aspects of language ability and furthermore if Bayley-4 could be suitable for use in Speech–Language Pathology Clinics. The study involved assessing children aged 30- 42 months. Method: Five children within the age range particip

Cancer caregiving is currently including significant challenges, especially for cancer families as they have to face high treatment costs. This study analyzes the experience of cancer caregivers in Vietnam with the focus on financial hardship and different kinds of burden. Previous studies in Vietnam show that the rising cases of cancer in Vietnam have put severe pressure on family members, who la

In order to get an answer to the question of where a Viking-era harbor could possibly be placed in Löddeköpinge, indicators such as Lödde kar, Lödde å, the seasonal market place at Vikhögsvägen in Löddeköpinge, the permanent settlement in Löddeköpinge, the church village in Löddeköpinge, the burial field and the church in Löddeköpinge and Borgeby's trelleborg need to be studied in relation to

As dual career couples become increasingly common, challenges related to professional mobility, and career continuation for spouses have been exacerbated, especially for couples in international professions such as diplomacy, often leading to family strain. In response, institutional reforms such as joint posting policies have been introduced to accommodate individuals’ professional and personal n

This study aims at investigating the thematic patterns in media presentations of Swedish communal social services and the social service workers: how is the media discussion created and established? Which areas are paid the main attention? How is the field being portrayed in media? The study is based on a material found in Swedish newspapers published under a three-month period in the end of 2014.

Access to clean water for drinking and sanitation is a human right. Today water scarcity is a large problem and inequality in access to safe water is a striking truth. In Mozambique, the US foreign aid agency Millennium Challenge Corporation introduced the Rural Water Point Installation Program to increase access to safe water and sanitation – a step towards reducing poverty. 600 water points – in

The growing use of wind energy as major energy source, has led to the construction of large wind farms. The control of such wind farms is typically separated into control at wind turbine level and at wind farm level. The wind farm controller assures that the wind farm produces the demanded amount of power, by providing set-points for the turbines in the farm. The local turbine control assures that

For the performance of the Haldex Active Yaw Control, accurate information about vehicle's lateral dynamic is important. It is for practical reasons not possible to measure the vehicle's lateral velocity, wherefore this state has to be estimated. Previous work [1] with an observer based on a single track bicycle model show promising results but with limited accuracy at high lateral acceler

Our problem considered was whether a virtual environment could be used for development of visual servoing control algorithms.

We have used a virtual environment for the comparison of several kinds of controllers. The virtual environment is done in Java, and it consists of two industrial robots, IRB 2000 and IRB 6, a camera stereo system with two cameras mounted on the end-effector of the IRB 6,

This master thesis is about the regulation of temperature and flow of a steaming fluid when it passes through a heater. There are problems with the present regulation of temperature when the flow rate varies.

The study has dealt with two control methods to regulate temperature and flow of the infusion fluid. These methods are different from the method to date.

The first method is

Allt fler organisationer använder sig idag av det digitala kommunikationsverktyget “chatbots” i sin kundtjänst för att kommunicera med sina användare. Den främsta anledningen till att chatbots i form av kundtjänst blir allt vanligare på organisationers webbsidor är att de kan effektivisera verksamheten och därmed reducera kostnader. Det har alltså skett en förändring i hur organisationer kommuniceToday, organizations are using the digital communicative tool ‘chatbot’ in their cus-tomer service to communicate with their customers. The main reason for using this new technology on organizations’ websites is that chatbots can make the customer service more efficient, hence reduce organizational costs. As a result, the chatbots have altered the way organizations and customers communicate with o

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand how Taiwanese brands can manage the country-of-origin effect on product evaluation in Lithuania. Methodology: This is a quantitative research based on primary data collected in Lithuania. An online survey was conducted and analyzed by applying the Paired-samples test and the One-way Anova method. Theoretical Perspective: Literature revie

The participation of grassroots communities became a must of development projects. International organizations advocate for the inclusion of community members to ensure projects’ success and sustainability. However, community engagement is often undermined by existing power dynamics between implementing agencies and communities. Power imbalances result from the lack of interdependency between acto

Sverige, ett av de minst korrupta länderna i världen, har fått återkommande internationell kritik gällande ineffektivitet i svensk mutlagstiftning när det kommer till straffrättsliga sanktioner mot företag som begått mutbrott. Detta på grund av bristen på rättspraxis där företag gjort sig skyldiga till vårdslös finansiering av mutbrott. Kritiken har bland annat kommit från EU-kommissionen då SveriSweden, as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, has been subject to recurrent critique regarding inefficiency in its bribery legislation, especially regarding sanctions against corporates. The reason behind this is due to the lack of case-law when it comes to companies being directly or indirectly responsible for bribery. The European Commission have criticised Sweden due to the fact t

Skalning och modellering av en kromatografikolonn för rening av sockerlösningar. För att uppnå klimatmålen behöver fossila råvaror inom kemiindustrin bytas ut mot förnybara råvaror. Socker är en råvara med stor potential inom industrin, men är ofta förorenat med salter. Därför utforskas rening av sockerlösningar här. För att använda socker som förnybar råvara för kemiindustri behöver sockret oftaTo utilize sugars as a feedstock for renewable industries, the feedstock often needs to be very pure. This is due to ionic species contaminating the sugar feedstock being potent catalyst poisons in many cases. To remove ionic species from the sugar feedstock, it is dissolved and purified using packed ion-exchange columns. In this report, a lab-scale setup of a large scale ion-exchange setup was co

A specific motif depicting death is the personification of death in combination with a young woman. This constellation is usually referred to as “Death and the Maiden”. The motif’s origins lie around the 16th century but was given a special revival a few centuries later. The main aim of this study is to examine the motif of Death and the Maiden, both with regard to its historical origin and how i

Laglottens funktion och existens har länge diskuterats i riksdagen. Trots årliga motioner och flera framstående rättsvetares ställningstagande mot laglotten tycks inte riksdagen benägen att rösta igenom ett sådant förslag i dagens läge. Denna uppsats undersöker därför laglottens funktion och vilka argument som har presenterats för dess fortsatta existens i den svenska rättsordningen. Laglottens
