Abstract in UndeterminedThis study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) between 11 and 19 years of age. Conversational skills were assessed in a referential communication task where the participants interacted with a hearing peer of the same age and gender. The measures were
The infrastructure for the third generation of mobile telephony, UMTS, is under construction in Sweden. Within three years four operators were to build competing systems to cover 99,98 % of the population. The case of the 3G infrastructure illustrates how the sustainability issues are handled in planning and environmental management, with conflicting goals between institutional levels and compet
AbstractOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a devastating manifestation of coronary artery disease. For patients who are initially resuscitated and are admitted to an intensive care unit, mortality is high. Roughly half of all patients die, primarily due to neurological injury. In recent years, some improvement in outcomes has been seen, perhaps in some part due to interventions performed in hospita
Parallel architectures are essential in order to take advantage of the parallelism inherent in streaming applications. One particular branch of these employ hardware SIMD pipelines. In this paper, we analyse several scheduling techniques, namely ad hoc overlapped execution, modulo scheduling and modulo scheduling with unrolling, all of which aim to efficiently utilize the special architecture desi
Myelin-sensitive quantitative (q) MRI techniques including MT (3D FLASH) and DTI (single-shot STEAM) are of growing importance to study white matter (WM) disorders in childhood. Cerebral folate transport deficiency is an inherited, treatable WM disorder with hypomyelination, developmental regression, movement disturbances, and epilepsy. One patient with this diagnosis and severe phenotype was trea
Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to investigate the added value of using temperature-dependent electric and magnetic properties in high-Temperature electromagnetic simulations. Design/methodology/approach - In this work, the electromagnetic properties of Domex 420, SSAB, have been characterized as a function of the temperature, from room temperature to 900°C. The measurement of the electric a
Sverige är ett av få länder som har tagit fram en nationell handlingsplan för att omsätta FN:s vägledande principer för företag och mänskliga rättigheter på nationell nivå. FN:s vägledande principer skapar inga nya folkrättsliga förpliktelser, utan uppmuntrar endast stater att ta fram nationella handlingsplaner för att omsätta principerna på nationell nivå. Sveriges framtagande av planen kan såled
Vätgas är en energibärare som kan ha en roll i fossilfria energisystem. I det här examensarbetet undersöktes därför den praktiskt genomförbara potentialen för förnybar vätgas att göra nytta i Skånes energisystem inom tidsramen till 2030. Detta analyserades genom en undersökning av de tekniska och regionala förutsättningarna för förnybar vätgas, en intervjustudie med sju skånska vätgasaktörer, samtHydrogen is an energy carrier that could be a part of fossil free energy systems. That is why the practicable potential of renewable hydrogen to benefit the energy system of Scania, Sweden, within the time frame of until 2030 was evaluated in this report. This was done through reviewing the technical and regional conditions and through interviews with seven regional actors involved in hydrogen, as
This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these
Denna uppsats syftar till att skapa förståelse för hur ChatGPT kan användas inom utbildningssektorn för att främja inlärning och kritiskt tänkande bland universitetsstudenter. Studien är baserad på akademisk litteratur som rör inlärning, AI inom utbildning samt kritiskt tänkande. Den empiriska datainsamlingen består av en kvalitativ metod i form av fyra intervjuer varav respondenterna studerar på
Trust is an important aspect of learning. However, there is little published research on how students perceive its value. In this article, we report on engineering students’ perceptions of the role of trust in their learning and their experiences of what teachers do in their courses that builds trust. Nine students participated in semi-structured interviews and 477 student replies to a survey sent
Dwell time is crucial for railway operations, for example, 20% of the total travel time in a mass transit context in the Paris region. With this, it is also a source of delays due to its variability. One way to ensure the robustness of a timetable is to add margins as buffer time that can be consumed to absorb short delays. Much work has been done on run time margins, but dwell time margins receiv

Designers’ work sometimes originates from a simplified view of human demands and needs, which may result in furniture that does not fulfill the user requirements. If we consider old people as one group with fairly similar needs and demands rather than have realistic images of old people as a heterogeneous group there is a tendency that it will result in misguided efforts to design for wellbeing.
