Writing is a central activity at university. Writing in English at University: A Guide for Second Language Writers is a textbook designed to accompany the MOOC Writing in English at University. It can also be used as a stand-alone handbook, with links to online resources, such as instructional videos on key aspects of academic writing provided throughout.Just like the MOOC, this textbook targets u
Background: Adverse perinatal exposures have been associated with psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviours later in life. However, the independent associations of gestational age at birth or fetal growth with suicide death, potential sex-specific differences, and causality of these associations are unclear. Methods: A national cohort study was conducted of all 2 440 518 singletons born in Swe
Kursbok om Alternativ och Kompletterande Kommunikation (AKK), med fokus på kommunikationshjälpmedel, praktiska metoder och förhållningssätt. Boken ingår i ett kursmaterial i tre delar, för utbildning av personliga assistenter och andra som arbetar och lever nära ungdomar och vuxna med omfattande kommunikationssvårigheter på grund av funktionsnedsättning.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy syndrome characterized by hypertension and organ damage manifesting after 20 gestational weeks. The etiology is of multifactorial origin, where placental stress causes increased levels of placenta-derived extracellular vesicles (STBEVs) in the maternal circulation, shown to cause inflammation, endothelial activation, vasoconstriction, and anti-angiogenic activity.
Organizations responsible for maintaining critical societal functions must be able to handle both events that can be foreseen and events that come more or less as surprises. Therefore, proactive risk management strategies that build on capacity to adapt to new and unforeseen circumstances must complement strategies that build on the ability to plan for events that can be anticipated on beforehand.
This paper explores recent trends in Uzbek labor migration, with a focus on the growing role of the European Union as a destination. While Russia remains the largest host country, ongoing diversification has led to a notable increase in migration to EU member states, particularly for employment. Drawing on official statistics and fieldwork, the study highlights rising numbers of Uzbek migrants in
Det är mycket rörelse på AI-fronten nu – både rättsligt, tekniskt och politiskt. Stefan Larsson, jurist och docent i teknik och social förändring vid Lunds universitet, placerar in EU-lagstiftarens AI-förordning i en både global och svensk kontext. Han beskriver processen bakom lagstiftningen, de etiska och principiella grunderna, och hur EU-lagstiftaren hanterar AI-innovationernas explosionsartad
This chapter is about digital advocacy and civil society in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Social media has often been discussed as a game-changer when it comes to advocacy. The technical structures of social media are continuously changing and, therefore, so are the conditions for digital advocacy. Extensive research has focused on different digital advocacy strategies. However, there h
Event cameras and LiDARs provide complementary yet distinct data: respectively, asynchronous detections of changes in lighting versus sparse but accurate depth information at a fixed rate. To this day, few works have explored the combination of these two modalities. In this article, we propose a novel neural-network-based method for fusing event and LiDAR data in order to estimate dense depth maps
Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy-related inflammatory disease without an effective treatment. The pathophysiology remains partly unknown. However, an increased inflammatory response and oxidative stress are part of the maternal systemic reaction. Recent data have suggested that dysbiosis of the gut microbiome plays a role in preeclampsia as well as other inflammatory diseases. However, dysbiosis
Mito-nuclear insertions, or NUMTs, relate to genetic material of mitochondrial origin that have been transferred to the nuclear DNA molecule. The increasing amounts of genomic data currently being produced presents an opportunity to investigate this type of patterns in genome evolution of non-model organisms. Identifying NUMTs across a range of closely related taxa allows one to generalize pattern
Strupfladder och flämtandning är några av tricken som fåglar tar till för att överleva höga temperaturer. I en allt varmare framtid kanske det inte räcker, skriver fågelforskarna Andreas Nord och Susan J. Cunningham.
Dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, affects 10–30 % of persons above 65 years old. Texture-modified, easy-to-swallow, puree-like food in the form of timbales is usually served to this group of patients. Due to the characteristics of timbale, its appearance only remotely reminds of the original ingredients, leading to reduced appetite, reduced nutrition intake, and even malnutrition. 3D food print
Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att följa upp extremt för tidigt födda (före vecka 29) när de nått vuxen ålder. De extremt för tidigt födda jämfördes med en kontrollgrupp bestående av jämnåriga födda i fullgången tid. Deltagarna i studien hämtades från en uppföljningsstudie av extremt för tidigt födda som tidigare följts upp vid 10 och 18 års ålder. Deltagarna var vid tiden för studien 27The aim of this quantitative study was to follow up children born extremely preterm (before week 29) in adulthood. The group of extremely preterm adults was compared to peers born at term. The extremely preterm and the control group have previously been followed up at ages 10 and 18. At the time of this study the participants were 27-28 years old. Questionnaires were sent to the two groups and 77
Världen förändras kontinuerligt. Företag arbetar idag hårt för att hålla jämna steg med omvärlden för att på så vis hålla sig konkurrenskraftiga. Att arbeta för att hitta nya affärsmöjligheter har blivit av allt större betydelse. IKEA är ett globalt företag som står inför en enorm tillväxt för att nå deras mål till år 2020. För att klara denna tillväxt och för att kunna säkra försörjningen till nyThe world is continuously changing. Today many companies work hard to keep up with the surrounding world to stay competitive. To work with finding new business opportunities has become of higher importance than ever. IKEA is a global company facing a tremendous growth to reach their goal for 2020. To manage this growth and be able to secure supply to new retail markets, the company needs to increa
In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib
Arbetsdomstolens partsammansättning har länge ifrågasatts. Fyra av sju ledamöter utnämns på förslag av centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer. Denna sammansättning är en konsekvens av att den svenska arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen utgår ifrån den s.k. svenska modellen med kollektivavtalsbärande centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer som legala representanter för arbetsmarknadens parter. I den juridiThe composition of the Swedish Labour Court with members representing the interests of employers and employees has been questioned since long. Four out of seven members are appointed and mandated on proposals of central labour market organizations (this members are hereinafter referred to as “interest members”). This composition is an effect of the fact that the Swedish labour legislation assumes
