Utvecklingen av kommersiella tv- och datorspel från så kallade tumspel till spel som styrs av gester och andra kroppsrörelser har inneburit att spelen numera kan användas för träningsändamål. Under 2007 och 2008 drevs projektet SpelTID vid Barn och ungdomshabiliteringen vid Habilitering & Hjälpmedel i Region Skåne. Två projektledare besökte samtliga tio enheter i regionen för att erbjuda tv- o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränning av fossila bränslen som bensin, kol, olja och naturgas orsakar att koldioxid ackumuleras i atmosfären, vilket är en av orsakerna till global uppvärmning. Transportsektorn står för största delen av Sveriges användning av bensin och olja. Oljan är importerad från andra länder, som gör oss väldigt beroende av omvärlden. Ett av de mest lovande alternativa bränslTransportation fuels from renewable resources such as ethanol are one of the alternatives to ensure energy security and decrease the net emission of carbon dioxide. First-generation ethanol production from sugar- and starch-based raw materials (1G) is today well established in many countries, and the focus of research has thus shifted to the development and demonstration of the production of secon

Water vapor condensation and two-phase flow appear in plate heat exchangers being used as condensers. Analysis of water phase change and flow dynamics is an important but complicated task due to large change in water physical/transport properties across the water liquid-vapor interface boundary. In particular, a singular-link behaviour in Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations is present due to the large s

Phenyl β-d-galactopyranoside was found to be an efficient acceptor of l-[14C]fucose when guanosine diphosphate l-[14C]fucose was used as the donor substrate and human serum, submaxillary glands or stomach mucosa were the sources of l-fucosyltransferase. The enzyme utilising phenyl β-D-galactoside was present in the serum of donors of all ABO blood-groups examined, except those of the rare Oh (Bomb

Studies of natural radiative lifetimes and hyperfine structure have been performed for group IIA and IIIA atoms. Different laser spectroscopic techniques such as PUMOLS, time-resolved laser spectroscopy, using transient recorder, and collimated atomic-beam experiments have been used. These methods employ cw or pulsed dye laser systems. The lifetime measurements revealed several cases in barium and

Participatory design (PD) has taken as its ideal that designers and users should engage in an equal language game. When we apply PD in contexts where some of the users involved are weak, ill, or have impairments, this assumed equality can no longer be an ideal. The workshop explores new ideals for participatory design in non-work settings with highly heterogeneous user constellations.

This article documents new sightings of the leafcutting bee Megachile lagopoda (L.) in Åhus, Scania, Sweden on cotton thistle in a pine forest. The importance of areas of undeveloped land as habitat for rare species and the dispersal range of the bee are discussed.

Opera improvisation at The Malmö Academy of Music has been a pedagogical and artistic experiment. This is the final account concerning this pedagogical and artistic research project. Singers who are studying classical singing at the bachelor and master programmes of theacademy have participated. The account includes historical and theoretical reflections on the subject and comments on the work in

This note is about promoting singularity subtraction as a helpful tool in the discretization of singular integral operators on curved surfaces. Singular and nearly singular kernels are expanded in series whose terms are integrated on parametrically rectangular regions using high-order product integration, thereby reducing the need for spatial adaptivity and precomputed weights. A simple scheme is

In Sweden, municipalities organize a large share of public services but the conditions for providing these services differ considerably due to differences in size and wealth. In the wake of financial stress and New Public Management reforms the Swedish local governments seeks new ways to make both ends meet and still manage the services to be in line with the present (not the past) demands of the

Vertebrate sex ratios are notorious for their lack of fit to theoretical models, both with respect to the direction and the magnitude of the sex ratio adjustment. The reasons for this are likely to be linked to simpilfying assumptions regarding vertebrate life histories. More specifically, if the sex ratio adjustment itself influences offspring fitness, due to sex-specific interactions among offsp
