The aim of this study was to investigate the professional’s point of view in their work with people who have mental retardation and are expecting a child. To perform this study we used a qualitative method. The study was performed by interviewing six professionals from three different organizations. We made an interview guide, in which the questions were about their previous experience, parent abi

What do the Assistant Heads of Departments do? What responsibilities do they have, what decisions do they make and which of your questions might they answer? Helena Filipsson, Assistant Head of Department with responsibility for scientific infrastructure.  What do you do in your role, and what are your main responsibilities?I am part of the department’s management group together with the other ass

This study aims to develop a theoretical and analytical approach for studying discretion, automated decision-making (ADM) and the consequential public values. This is achieved through our proposed approach, an overview of literature and an empirical test. The context of our empirical test is decisions made about economic support in social work. The research questions are as follows: 1) What are th

Post-normal science (PNS) has long advocated the inclusion of stakeholders in scientific processes where there is uncertainty, urgency and high stakes. Increasingly, however, such conditions have become recognised as the norm. Using the theoretical perspective of PNS, we examine the interactions between public objection, unstable coalition politics and uncertain environmental assessment knowledge

Originally believed to primarily affect neurons, Parkinson's disease (PD) has recently been recognized to also affect the functions and integrity of microglia and astroglia, two cell categories of fundamental importance to brain tissue homeostasis, defense, and repair. Both a loss of glial supportive-defensive functions and a toxic gain of glial functions are implicated in the neurodegenerative pr

Metal contamination of water bodies has attracted global attention owing to its environmental toxicity, abundance and persistence. Metals such as arsenic, cadmium and mercury are of greater concern since they are toxic even at low concentrations. Mercury is present at 1000 times lower concentrations than the other two metals, but still has a negative impact on the environment due to its high trans

IntroductionSelf efficacy (SE) relates to pupils' beliefs about their own capacities within a given field. It has been shown that an overestimation of one's own SE beliefs affects learning outcomes negatively. In the present study we examine SE beliefs in writing skills in two groups of secondary school pupils, one with hearing impairment, the other without.PurposeText writing is a complex skill,

This work presents a literature study over how additive manufacturing can be used to improve the performance of windings for traction machines when it comes to materials, loss minimization and thermal management, especially for concentrated windings. It continues to present the additive manufacturing methods most suitable for additively manufacturing windings. The lessons from manufacturing coils

Non-invasive characterization of brain structure has been made possible by the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Graph modeling of structural connectivity has been useful, but is often limited to defining nodes as regions from a brain atlas. Here, we propose two methods for encoding structural connectivity in a huge brain graph at the voxel-level resolution (i.e., 850'000 voxels) b

When a literary text is translated from a dominated to a dominating language, Yvonne Lindqvist (2018) observes, it generally undergoes a cosmopolitanizing process. Consecrated by the dominating literary culture, the text is lifted up to a transnational level and deemed significant for an international readership. Lindqvist’s observation is confirmed by the English translations of Swedish working-c

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid within arteries of the cerebral cortex and leptomeninges. This condition is age related, especially prevalent in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and the main feature of certain hereditary disorders. The vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) appear to play a vital role in the development of CAA and have been found to produce t

Animal offerings made at various sacred sites were an integral part of the ethnic religion of the indigenous Sámi people of northern parts of present-day Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia from ca. 800 AD onwards. The offering tradition was interwoven with subsistence patterns and human-animal relationships, as in the Sámi worldview offerings were a means to communicate with gods and guardian spi

The gender patenting gap is well-established and is wide. Despite important progress made over the past decades, the gap remains. Why are women underrepresented in patenting activities? What are the roots of the gender patenting gap? How did the gap evolve since the ‘modern’ patenting system was established? Our knowledge of women’s contribution to innovative activities in the past is extremely sc

Molecular radiotherapy is rapidly expanding, and new radiotherapeutics are emerging. The majority of treatments is still performed using empirical fixed activities and not tailored for individual patients. Molecular radiotherapy dosimetry is often seen as a promising candidate that would allow personalisation of treatments as outcome should ultimately depend on the absorbed doses delivered and not

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders. The motor and non-motor symptoms of PD lead to a number of consequences in everyday life for persons with PD (PwPD). PwPD continuously need to adapt to their new life situation and despite medical treatment, the impact of PD on everyday life is inevitable and can lead to a lower level of life satisfaction (LS). LS is a

Starting four decades ago, studies have examined the ecology and evolutionary dynamics of populations and species using short mitochondrial DNA fragments and stable isotopes. Through technological and analytical advances, the methods and biomolecules at our disposal have increased significantly to now include lipids, whole genomes, proteomes, and even epigenomes. At an unprecedented resolution, th

In spite of the fact that negation has been the focus of many studies, the way it is processed in human communication still eludes us. Previous studies of negation using event-related potentials (ERPs) have reported inconclusive results as to whether or not negation poses difficulties for processing. While some have found that negation is initially ignored and incongruities in negated sentences do

Meat analogues are products that are supposed to resemble meat in terms of texture, flavour, and also sensory characteristics. They have recently become increasingly popular due to numerous issues related to health, religion, environmental impact and the growing number of vegetarians and vegans. Due to this reason, many plant-based protein materials, including grains, legumes, microalgae, and mush
