Syftet med denna uppsats var att utarbeta en officiell svensk översättning av WASSPfonnuläret samt att därefter göra en reliabilitetsprövning av det på svensktalande vuxna som stammar. WASSP (The Wright andAyre Stuttering Self-Rating Profile) är ett självskattningsinstrument för vuxna som stammar. Det utvecklades för att utvärdera behandlingseffekter av stamningsterapi hos logoped och publicerades
Ett av mina starkaste minnen kring arkitektur är minnet ä av en pojke som cyklar på en trehjuling Han trampar snabbt på tramporna och far fram genom korridorerna inne på hotellet där han bor. Dörrarna in till hotellrummen på vardera sidan om honom svischar snabbt förbi. Trehjulingens däck låter dämpat mot den mjuka mattan på golvet när pojken cyklar om hörn efter hörn innan han plötsligt stannar f
No oral modification-klausuler är en typ av boilerplate-klausul som är vanligt förekommande i svenska och internationella avtal. De går att identifiera genom att de typiskt sätt begränsar avtalsparter från att göra ändringar i avtalet på något annat sätt än skriftligt, även kallat ett skriftkrav. Ett exempel på en NOM-klausul är: ”Alla ändringar av detta avtal måste göras skriftligen.” Dessa klausNo oral modification clauses are a type of boilerplate clause commonly found in Swedish and international contracts. They can be identified by the fact that they typically restrict contracting parties from making changes to the contract in any way other than in writing, also known as a writing requirement. An example of a NOM clause is: "All changes to this contract must be made in writing.&q
Uppsatsen centrerar kring två aktuella frågor: anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp i FN:s fredsbevarande operationer, och konstruerandet av könsroller. De specifika frågeställningarna för uppsatsen är inledningsvis vilka könsroller som konstrueras i primärmaterialet, vilket innefattar tre årliga FN-rapporter. Den andra frågeställningen syftar till att utreda huruvida den konstruerade, militära masku
Majoriteten av forskning som jämfört gruppers socialkognitiva prestationer har genomförts på samples av personer med autismspektrumstörning (ASD) i relation till friska kontroller (HC). Ett annat kliniskt tillstånd som associerats med signifikanta sociala nedsättningar är schizofreni (SCZ). Tidigare forskning inom socialkognition har ännu inte nått konsensus gällande relationerna mellan olika sociThe majority of research into between group differences in social cognition has been conducted in samples of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in relation to healthy controls (HC). Another clinical group associated with significant social impairments is Schizophrenia (SCZ). Previous research within the field of social cognition has yet to yield consensus regarding the relationships b
Patienter med depression uppvisar ofta kognitiva nedsättningar. Tidigare forskning har visat inkonsekventa resultat avseende vilka kognitiva funktioner som påverkas och i vilken utsträckning. Dessa variationer skulle kunna förklaras av depressionens heterogena karaktär samt att tidigare studier ofta har rapporterat resultat i sammansatta mått på kognitiv funktion. Denna studie undersökte kognitiv Depression is associated with cognitive impairments, yet findings remain inconsistent regarding which cognitive functions are affected and to what extent, potentially due to disorder heterogeneity and reliance on composite measures of cognitive functioning in previous research. The present study examined cognitive functioning in individuals with anhedonic depression using objective neuropsychologi
Att vara flykting är förknippat med ökad risk att exponeras för traumatiska händelser. I kombination med stressorer före och efter flykt ökar risken för kroniska hälsoproblem och psykisk ohälsa som negativt påverkar vardagsfunktion hos individen – ofta refererat till som funktionshinder. WHODAS 2.0 är ett instrument utvecklat av WHO för att mäta funktionshinder inom sex olika livsområden, oberoendBeing a refugee is associated with an increased risk of exposure to traumatizing events. Combined with stressors pre- and post migration, there is an elevated risk for chronic- and mental health problems negatively affecting everyday functioning – commonly referred to as disability. WHODAS 2.0 is an instrument developed by the WHO that measures disability within six life domains, regardless of cul
Little is known about pediatric surgical disease in resource-poor countries. This study documents the surgical care of children in central Haiti and demonstrates the influence of the 2010 earthquake on pediatric surgical delivery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of operations performed at Partners in Health/Zanmi Lasante hospitals in central Haiti. RESULTS: Of 2,057 operations p
Background: Physiologically guided revascularization improves clinical outcomes. The cutoff values for deferral with fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the same across all coronary arteries, despite differences in coronary flow patterns. The objective was to compare deferral rates using either FFR or iFR in the right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior desce
Background and objective Breathlessness is associated with higher rates of unplanned health service utilisation. We aimed to evaluate any associations between the severity of breathlessness limiting exertion (hereafter breathlessness), time between breathlessness recording and subsequent unplanned hospital admissions, and length of stay. Methods A retrospective cohort study of adults seen in gener
Dyspnea is a common and highly distressing symptom in patients with advanced illnesses. Many patients continue to experience chronic dyspnea despite optimal management of underlying disease(s) and various non-pharmacologic interventions, necessitating the consideration of pharmacologic therapies for palliation of dyspnea. One commonly asked question by clinicians is whether benzodiazepines have a
Background: The longevity for people with intellectual disability (ID) has significantly increased in developed countries during the past decades. Consequently, the incidence of cancer is expected to increase in this group. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prescription of pain medication in older cancer patients with intellectual disability (ID) compared to older patients in the
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of women are evaluated for potential breast cancer and may experience mental distress during evaluation. We aim to assess the risks of psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases during the diagnostic workup of potential breast cancer.METHODS: All women with a new diagnosis of unspecified lump in breast (N = 15,714), benign tumor or breast cancer in situ (N =
In Thinking Like a Climate: Governing a City in Times of Environmental Change, Hannah Knox offers a new ethnographic study of the local dynamics of climate change, focusing on the city of Manchester. This detailed analysis of local climate politics illustrates the need for a wholesale reconfiguration of how we think about human-nature relations and act collectively to make the world a better place
Introduction The recognition of breathlessness in clinical practice appears suboptimal, despite its prevalence and impact. This study aimed to explore the content of clinical conversations about breathlessness and patients’ level of self-reported openness when discussing their breathlessness. Methods A cross-sectional, online survey of Australian adults (≥18 years) stratified to the 2016 National
Background: Posterior fossa tumours (PFT) are the most common childhood brain tumours, and children treated for these tumours are at increased risk of persistent speech, language and/or communication difficulties. Such difficulties have often been described in association with the postoperative complication cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS), but can also occur in children without a period of mutism
Objectives:The Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) comprehensively addresses dyspnea, incorporating both perceptual and affective components, and has proven effective in assessing breathlessness among patients with chronic lung conditions. Despite its validation in High-Income Countries, its applicability in Low/Middle-Income countries remains uncertain. Additionally, the MDP has not been trans
