In Montessori pre-schools early reading and writing is an important feature. By tracing sandpaper letters with their fingers and voicing the sound simultaneously the children connect phonemes to graphemes and normally learn to write between the ages of four and five. 24 sixyear old children who attended Montessori pre-school and 26 six-year old children who had not attended Montessori school were
This thesis aims to investigate the dynamics of the so-called “leverage-effect”. This asymmetry in volatility after negative shocks, relative to positive shocks has been documented extensively before. However, except for findings that it is not due to leverage, the underlying or enhancing factors that cause it have not been investigated. This thesis aims to do so, by testing for the influence of f
INTRODUCTION: The prophylactic regimen in children with severe haemophilia is suggested in various publications and guidelines. Few data exist on its implementation in clinical practice.AIM: To investigate the implementation of primary prophylaxis based on real-life data from PedNet during the last 20 years.METHODS: All children from the PedNet cohort (n = 1260) with severe haemophilia A (SHA) or
This paper applies the peridynamic continuum mechanics theory on a new type of material known as harmonic-structured materials. Using the Peridigm software, rapid uniaxial elongation is simulated on a peridynamic model of a thin bimodal harmonic-structured metal sheet. Mechanical wave initiation, propagation, and reflection, as well as fracture initiation and propagation are successfully simulated
Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are no longer fixed or constant. Instead, they are continuously readjusted according to perceived demand and factors that influence the desirability of the product. It is in passenger transport where it has one of its biggest applications, in order to increase profits and maximize the use of limited capacity. While extensively studied for its econ
A new and morphologically very distinct species of Pediobius from Costa Rica is described. The new species (P. nishidai) is unique among New World species of Pediobius in having the propodeum elongated and extended backwards (i.e. with an elongated nucha). The entire type series (15 females, two males) was reared from a single prepupa of Epilachna mexicana and it has been concluded that the new Pe
The electrochemical behavior and the electrocatalytic activity for the NADH oxidation at glassy carbon paste electrodes (GCPEs) modified with Meldola Blue (MB) adsorbed onto acidic cc-zirconium phosphate (ZP*) have been investigated. Cyclic voltammetry and rotating disc electrode measurements, performed in Tris buffer solution (pH 7) in absence and in presence of different NADH concentrations, sho
BACKGROUND: Vascular rings are a classical cause of tracheal and esophagus compression. We report the case of such an abnormality in an infant with neurofibromatosis. CASE REPORT: A 1 week-old male infant with a familial neurofibromatosis presented a stridor with severe respiratory distress. A vascular ring was demonstrated and operated on. The stridor persisted after surgery. A postoperative oeso
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur vidsträckt den anställdes kritikrätt är inom den offentliga respektive privata sektorn. Av anställningsavtalet följer att den anställde ska vara lojal mot arbetsgivaren. Den anställdes rätt att föra fram kritik utgör dock en inskränkning i denna lojalitetsförpliktelse. Den offentligt anställde erhåller grundlagsskydd för sin yttrandefrihet och har såle
As previous research on content-specificity of the neural correlates of recollection is inconclusive, event-related potentials were used to assess old/new effects for faces, objects and words. The data demonstrate temporal differences in ERP old/new effects as a function of item type, supporting the notion that material-dependent processes underlie recollection-related neural activity. The results
The purpose of the present thesis is to analyze the effects of FDI on wages in the manufacturing sector from 2002-2008 in 33 different countries. The introductory chapter will review existing literature, distinguishing between neoclassical, political economy and sociology approaches. A second part will estimate the effects of FDI on wages using the panel ordinary least squares (OLS) fixed effects

It is challenging for the food industry to deliver products that satisfy consumers changing desires and needs. Baobab is a fruit that holds potential for the development of trendy food products due to its rich nutritional profile and unique rheology. Unlike most fruits, it contains a dry pulp with a moisture content of 11-12 % (Phytotrade, 2008). Despite these features, baobab has been overlooked
This thesis aims to investigate the use of the Chilean voseo, which is a special form of the more broadly used voseo, a type of treatment that is used in many of the Spanish speaking countries on the American continent. The aim of this thesis is to investigate in which context and what parts of the interviews the voseo is used, in contrast to the more established form of treatment, tuteo. The rese
This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar
Climate refugees are becoming increasingly common due to increased global warming as a result of excess emissions, the vast majority of which come from the Global North. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the climate refugee issue is described in Swedish media against a backdrop of a potential conflict between a Swedish self-image as progressive in humanitarian matters, and the recent strict
