Voice onset time hos svenska barn och vuxna : Ett utvecklingsperspektiv

Voice onset time (VOT) är en akustisk tidsparameter som reflekterar den tidsmässiga samordningen av talmotoriken. VOT betraktas som det mest pålitliga akustiska kännetecknet på huruvida en klusil är tonlös eller tonande.Föreliggande studies syfte var att studera och jämföra VOT hos svenska barn (8, 9, 10, 11 år) och vuxna för att se hur utvecklingen sker samt för att ta fram svenska normvärden. Ljudinspelningar genomfördes på 150 barn och 36 vuxna vid uttal av de svenska klusilerna i minimala par. Akustiska analyser av materialet utfördes sedan.Resultatet visade att de tonlösa klusilerna föreföll produceras med vuxenlika VOT-värden från och med cirka nio års ålder. De tonande motsvarigheterna producerades med vuxenlik VOT omkring tio års ålder.

Se mig, inte bara min cancer! : En systematisk litteraturstudie om bröstcancerpatienters upplevelser av möten med vårdpersonal.

Aim: The aim is to create a review that examines different forms of massage therapy and their effects on hypertension.Method: Literature review of 10 scientific articles on the subject of massage and its effects on blood pressure. The literature searches were made with PubMed and Cinahl using the keywords "massage therapy", "effects" and "blood pressure".Results: The articles showed that massage had a positive effect in lowering blood pressure. This could be explained by greater extent of relaxation in the participants investigated and an increased activity of parasympaticus and reduced secretion of stress hormones. The articles do not agree on what form of massage therapy is most effective in lowering blood pressure and it is uncertain for how long the effect can remain.Conclusion: Massage is usually seen as a treatment without scientific basis. There is evidence that suggests that massage therapy is an effective treatment for lowering blood pressure.

Institutionella placerare som aktieägare-en studie av fondbolags, försäkringsbolags och AP-fonders användande av exit och voice som ägarstyrningsmekanismer

En institutionell placerare har både en förvaltar- och en ägarroll. Som förvaltare försöker institutionen maximera avkastningen i förhållande till ett visst risktagande. Eftersom institutionen har rösträtt för de förvaltade aktierna ? och därmed det inflytande som följer med aktierna ? har institutionen också en ägarroll. Ägarrollen är betydligt mer otydlig än förvaltarrollen.
