There are relatively few studies based on an individual adult perspective on ADHD which takes into account how various factors interact and affect everyday life. Compensatory strategies can facilitate life for people with ADHD and those strategies might include the use of assistive technology or cognitive support. The purpose of this paper is to present and discuss how various factors can facilita

An experimental study was carried out at the Malmö School of Education in 1969 and 1970 for the purpose of studying the effects on the self-assessment of student teachers of, firstly, externally mediated self-confrontation processes (via closed-circuit television and video-recording), and secondly, dyadic confrontation processes (in the form of traditional tuto¬ring). Detailed reports on the backg

This doctoral dissertation presents the development and digital hardware realization of cardiac event detectors. Implantable medical appliances, as the cardiac pacemaker, have progressed from a life sustaining device to a device that considerably improves life quality for all ages. The number of electronic devices and household appliances in everyday live has an ongoing exponential growth. The

Adaptive tracking of nonlinear dynamic plants is currently an important area of research. The main difficulty being felt by the research community is the lack of a general modelling framework that can facilitate synthesis of a simplistic control law, while being capable of providing accurate approximation of nonlinear systems. In this study a novel technique based on the control-oriented U-model i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar artificiella neuron nätverk och deras applikation inom medicin. Den utgår ifrån att det är viktigt att kunna uppskatta en patients överlevnadschanser för att kunna erbjuda rätt behandling för olika former av cancer. Generellt kan man säga att ju värre prognos desto mer omfattande behandling behöver man sätta in. Vissa patienter kan botas med ePredicting the probable survival for a patient can be very challenging for many diseases. In many forms of cancer, the choice of treatment can be directly impacted by the estimated risk for the patient. This thesis explores different methods to predict the patient's survival chances using artificial neural networks (ANN). ANN is a machine learning technique inspired by how neurons in the brain fu

Popular Abstract in Undetermined Packaging, Logistics, Packaging Logistics, Supply chain, Retail, Performance, Evaluation, Model, Tools, System,The concept of packaging logistics focuses on the integration of the systems of logistics and packaging with the potential of increased supply chain efficiency and effectiveness, through the improvement of both packaging and logistics related activities. Retail companies, with large product volumes, low margins and fierce competition, are constantly seeking efficiency improvements in their supply

This thesis illustrates the effects of environmental factors on pollen performance and its importance on gene flow. Pollen competitive ability between the wild and cultivated species of four genera belonging to Cucurbitaceae family was compared to evaluate the evolutionary potential for selection on pollen tube growth rate. A possibility of hybrids formation between these species was also determin

I såväl narkotikadebatt som i möten med personer som använder narkotika återkommer vissa företeelser och begrepp. Innebörd och mening tas många gånger för givna, vilket ofta leder till en brist-fällig och onyanserad förståelse av fenomenet. Denna bok diskuterar, problematiserar och analyserar en rad centrala frågor inom narkotikamissbruk ur samhällsvetenskapliga perspektiv. Bland annat diskuteras

Departing from the renewed interest within economic history and neo-Schumpeterian perspectives on growth and economic transformation, we will suggest a theoretical framework for analyzing long term regional economic growth and transformation. Emphasis will be given to different driving forces and their various roles over time, lead-lag relations between industries and how divergence and convergenc

It is well-known that the radio wave propagation mechanisms inside a tunnel are different from the typical outdoor and indoor situations. Since the tunnels represent a significant type of vehicular environments, understanding the channel characteristics for the in-tunnel scenario is crucial for intelligent transport systems design. A widely used tool for simulating channel characteristics for outd
