Full textThis thesis provides a corpus‐based description of Kakabe, a Mande language spoken in Guinea, with a focus on phonology. It consists of a short grammatical sketch and two parts dedicated to the analysis of the segmental and the suprasegmental phonology. Segmental phonological processes can be conditioned by metrical constraints, the ban on hiatus, prosodic phrasing and morphological context. Vowel deletion and vowel assimilation which serve to resolve hiatus, apply clause‐internally, as well as across clause boundaries. I also describe various strategies of loanword adaptation used in Kakabe, such as vowel epenthesis and consonant cluster simplification. Kakabe is a terraced‐level tone language (H vs. L), featuring downdrift, downstep, H raising, floating L, and a number of tonal processes, such as OCP style H‐insertion between two L domains, tone spread and leveling of HLH contour. As a result, the distance between the underlying lexical tones and their surface realization can be rather important. Each tonal process is applied within one particular prosodic unit. Therefore, tonal processes participate in phrasing the speech into prosodic units.Kakabe uses a number of boundary tones to signal illocutionary force of the utterance. Lexical tones and boundary tones coexists with intonational operations on the F0 curve. Intonational tone raising is associated with the H% and HL%boundary tones. Apart from that, it affects polarity items, the universal quantifier, and other pragmatically prominent lexemes, such as ideophones and intensifiers. The appendices include a Kakabe‐French dictionary, comprising 3400 entries, and an oral corpus of 12 hours of various genres, transcribed, glossed and time‐aligned with audio and video

Full textKakaobönan har använts av människan i tusentals år. Framför allt användes kakaon som dryck men under det senaste århundradet även till choklad. De senaste tio åren har det framkommit att kakaon är rik på flavonoider och då främst flavanolerna epikatekin och katekin. Det är främst epikatekinerna som bidrar till olika kardiovaskulära effekter, som påverkan på blodtrycket, förändringar i HDL- och LDL-balansen och plackbildning i kärlen beroende på LDL-oxidation. Jag har gjort en litteraturstudie där dessa teorier undersöks. För att undersöka detta har sex stycken artiklar använts. Dessa bygger på olika studier som har gjorts av kakaons effekter på blodtrycket. Studierna varierar i längd, från två dagar upp till 18 veckor. Fem av studierna använder sig av deltagare som inte genomgår någon behandling för någon kardiovaskulär sjukdom. I den sjätte studien har samtliga deltagare en kranskärlssjukdom som de behandlas för. Den enda effekt som framkommer är en marginell sänkning av blodtrycket över tid. Däremot framkommer det ingen skillnad för de personer som har en kardiovaskulär sjukdom. Detta kan tyda på att flavanolerna har en förebyggande effekt snarare än en läkande effekt. Studierna kunde heller inte påvisa någon större förändring i kolesterolbalansen eller LDL-oxidationen. Eftersom epikatekin är en instabil molekyl som försvinner vid vissa tillverkningsprocesser är det svårt att veta vilken mängd epikatekin det finns i kommersiell kakao. Det är även andra faktorer som påverkar koncentrationen epikatekin i kakaon, såsom växtförhållande, genuppsättning och skördetid.

Full textTreatment of patients with femoral neck fractures is an important issue in an ageing population; therefore, in the scientific literature, there are a lot of publications analysing various aspects of management of this pathology. However, while analysing the literature data, it was noted that the time from trauma to hospital admission is not taken into account, and the time is being counted just from that moment, when a patient is already hospitalised. This factor may have a great influence on treatment outcome because the time from trauma to hospital admission can vary significantly among different patient’s groups. Therefore, it was purposeful to carry out a study where exactly this period would be evaluated and its influence on patients’ mortality and functional outcome would be determined.

Full textChocolate is obtained from the cocoa bean which is the fruit of the cocoa tree (Theobroma cacao). To create chocolate, the cocoa bean is processed, which affects the content of bioactive substances in the product. Chocolate contains several types of bioactive substances, of which the cocoa flavanols epicatechin and catechin are the most prominent. They belong to the class of flavonoids which in previous research have been linked to health effects such as lowered blood pressure, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and increased antioxidant capacity. Regulation No. 432/2012 on approved health claims for food, established by the European Commission, states that cocoa flavanols can contribute to the normal blood circulation by keeping the blood vessels elastic. The claim may be used for dark chocolate, but the consumer must be informed that a daily intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols is required to achieve the beneficial effect. In the current study, cocoa beans from Madagascar and 70% dark chocolate produced on cocoa beans from Peru, Mexico, the Philippines, and Ecuador have been analyzed in collaboration with Johanna's Chocolate in Kalmar. The purpose of the study was to investigate how the content of flavonoids and mainly the cocoa flavanols epicatechin and catechin are affected by artisanal chocolate production. The result could provide information to Johanna's Chocolate which processing steps in the process from cocoa bean to finished chocolate cake that affects the levels the most. It could also provide indications as to whether any of their chocolate products meet the requirements for obtaining the EU dark chocolate health claim. A number of assays were performed by extracting bioactive substances with methanol and evaporating the final supernatant and dissolving the residue in MQ water (v/w = 10). The solution was filtered and then analyzed by RP-HPLC with a UV detector (Reversed phase - High Performance Liquid Chromatography). The results of the analyzes gave indications that the variation of the degree of roasting (110-135 ° C) and the processing procedure in the chocolate production did not significantly affect the content of flavonoids. The analysis of the 70% dark chocolate with beans of different origins showed that cocoa beans from Mexico and Peru contained the highest levels of flavonoids and cocoa flavanols (208 and 125 mg cocoa flavanols/100 g respectively) while chocolate made of beans from Ecuador and the Philippines contained lower levels (60-70 mg cocoa flavanols/100 g). Based on the results of the current study, it is concluded that the processing of cocoa beans industrially does not significantly affect the levels of flavonoids as long as roasting temperatures ≤135 ° C are used. The content of flavonoids in chocolate instead tends to depend mainly on the origin of the cocoa bean and the fermentation that already takes place on the cocoa plantations. Dark chocolate (70%) produced on the cocoa bean from Mexico contained the highest levels of flavanols in the current study. In order to achieve 200 mg of cocoa flavanols with daily consumption of this chocolate, a daily intake of approximately 77 g is required. Whether this justifies Johanna's Chocolate in Kalmar to use the health claim for cocoa flavanols is unclear. In the event of an application, the European Food Safety Authority, EFSA, will carry out the assessment. The calculation of 77 g is based on values outside the calibration curve, which makes the determination uncertain. To determine the levels more precisely, further analyzes should be carried out.

Full textProblem of study: Myofascial pain syndrome, caused by active myofascial trigger points, causes chronic muscle pain, restricts range of motion, decreases sleep and quality of life. Latent myofascial trigger points at any time can transforme into active myofascial trigger points, when a mechanical stimulus appears. Treating and eliminating latent myofascial trigger points prevent latent myofascial trigger points from transforming into active myofascial trigger points, and hence, prevent the development of myofascial pain syndrome. Object of study: changes of cervical range of motion and myofascial trigger points pain after application of myofascial trigger point therapy and streching exercises. Aim of study: to determine the impact of myofascial trigger point therapy and streching exercises for MTrPs pain and cervical range of motion. Goals of study: 1.

Full textAfter radical treatment of head and neck cancer 20–50% of patients are diagnosed with the locoregional recurrence during first two years. In the literature the results of studies, using reirradiation by three-dimensional radiotherapy for head and neck cancer recurrence, according to a 2-year overall survival and toxicity, are poor: overall survival reached 15.2–40%, the grade 3 - 4 toxicity reached 1.4–47% and grade 5 - 7.6%. The results of phase II and retrospective studies using the high-dose-rate brachytherapy for treatment of head and neck cancer relapse were: 2-year overall survival was 19–63%; grade 3 - 4 late toxicity 4–22.2%. In these studies 3–4 Gy per fraction up to 30–40 Gy total dose were administered. So far, the randomized study, comparing the high-dose-rate brachytherapy with the three-dimensional radiotherapy, treating head and neck cancer relapse, hasn’t been conducted. We compared different radiotherapy methods: three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy was administered to the control group (25 fractions of 2 Gy, total dose of 50 Gy); the hypofractionated high-dose-rate brachytherapy was administered to the experimental group, while applying a new regime of fractionation: 2.5 Gy per fraction, two fractions per day, up to 30 Gy total dose. Such fractionation regimen was selected in order to reduce the rate and grade of toxicity, while the total dose is biologically equivalent to the total doses, which have been used in previous studies.

Full textPolygami har på senare tid uppmärksammats mer och mer i Sverige med anledning av bland annat flyktingströmmar och globalisering. Den svenska äktenskapsnormen är tvåsamhet, monogami vilket således har lett till att familjekonstellationer som går emot denna norm ibland har svårt att anpassas till den svenska familjerätten. Polygami är ett samlingsnamn för äktenskap där en person är gift med flera personer samtidigt. I grunden spelar könet inte någon betydelse för begreppet polygami men den vanligaste äktenskapskonstellationen, och den konstellation som uppsatsen har avgränsat sig till, är den där en man är gift med flera kvinnor. Idag är polygami främst praktiserat i de muslimska länderna i Asien och Afrika där Koranen är en viktig del av uppbyggnaden av ländernas rättsordningar. För att polygami ska bli tillåtet i Sverige krävs det att äktenskapen kan erkännas enligt lagen om vissa internationella rättsförhållanden rörande äktenskap och förmynderskap. Enligt Skatteverkets utredning finns det idag 679 personer registrerade med en eller flera makar i folkbokföringsdatabasen i Sverige, däremot anses siffran inte spegla verkligheten. När en människa dör är det mycket saker som ska anordnas. De flesta av dessa angelägenheterna i Sverige regleras i ärvdabalken. Men eftersom den till största delen av familjerätten i Sverige utgår från den svenska äktenskapsnormen om tvåsamhet, föreligger det ett flertal tillämpningsproblem när ärvdabalken ska tillämpas på polygama äktenskap. Men trots att lagen i huvudsak är utformad för monogami finns det möjlighet att tillämpa lagen vid polygama familjekonstellationer. Trots att lagen i sig inte är konstruerad för polygama familjer torde den dock vara så flexibel att den går att tillämpa. Tillämpningen av lagen är dock behäftade med problem för bland annat kvinnorna i relationen. Det är tydligt att kvinnor i polygama äktenskap har det mer osäkert än kvinnor i monogama äktenskap när det kommer till arv och efterlevnadsskydd. Att de förslag till lagändring som ligger på bordet kommer bidra till en stärkelse av kvinnornas skydd är även det svårt att förmoda. Mycket tyder dock på att det överlag ser bra ut för barnen i äktenskapen. Det finns egentligen inte mycket som tyder på att barnen i hög utsträckning blir särbehandlade jämte barn i monogama äktenskap.

Full textNeck and upper limb pain is frequently reported by computer workers. It is becoming a common problem as more people are using computers and so more and more people are complaining of pain in the neck and upper limbs, and headaches. Aims: To identify the efficacy of physiotherapy in order to relieve headache, chronic neck and shoulder pain. This research programme was concerned with people that spend the largest part of their working day using computers. Methods: The present study was designed to quantify the typical level of pain, and then to test the efficacy of physiotherapy intervention. Sixty eight workers answered the questionnaire. Only twenty five computer workers were asked to partcipate in the study, all of whom had reported headaches and had frequent or long standing neck and upper limb symptoms. Participants were asked to fill out a modified questionnaire detailing their pain before the intervention and after. The range of various neck and arm movements of the participants were then measured using goniometry and the results recorded. The group was then taught various exercises and required to take regular breaks for 12 weeks. Results: The pain was found to have been effectively relieved. Physical exercise intervention resulted in a statistically significant (p<0,05) decrease in the intensity of headaches and neck pain (from 92% to 48%). The increase in the the range of mobility and static balanse signicantly improved (p<0,05). Conclusion: Although physiotherapy is... [to full text]

Full textSoy lecithin is widely used emulsifier in confectionery industry of Serbia. On the other hand, there is a large production of sunflower and rapeseed oil, which contributed the production of sunflower and rapeseed lecithin as a by-product of degumming of crude oil during refining process. Another issue is a high level of undesirable trans-fatty acids in hydrogenated vegetable fats that are being used in the production of cream spread. Beside hidrogenated fats, cream product contains sunflower oil with essential fatty acids (oleic and linoleic) and α-tocopherol (E vitamin), has an average content of sterols, squalene and a low content of carotenoids, but almost does not contain the essential α-linolenic acid and antioxidants, δ-and γ-tocopherol.The first phase of this work investigatesthe possibility of soy lecithin replacement in cocoa spread cream production with sunflower and rapeseed lecithin, in terms of optimizing the amount of lecithin and milling time in laboratory ball mill.The second phase investigates nutrition value improvement of cocoa spread cream, with partly or completely replacing sunflower oil with functional soybean, rapeseed and sesame oil.Gas chromatography was used in order to examine the fatty acid composition in edible non trans-fat and vegetable oils, as well as in lecithin from different sources. Phospholipid composition in soy, sunflower and rapeseed lecithin was determined using quantitative phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance technique. Crystallization properties of fat phase of cocoa spread cream were examined by pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, while crystallization kinetics was defined using the Gompertz's mathematical model.Rheological properties of cocoa spread cream were analyzed by rotational viscosity, certain textural characteristics were determined using texture analyser and also thermal properties using differential scanning calorimetry. The color on the surface of cocoa spread cream was defined using tristimulus colorimetric method, and sensory analysis was determined by the scale over a period of six months of storage in the dark and room temperature. Shelf-life of cocoa spread cream was determined applying gas chromatographic analyses of the formed aldehydes as secondary products of lipid oxidation.

Full textDementia is one of the most commonly occurring mental disorders in older age. It was noticed that some of the elderly patients who later develop dementia, more often than contemporaries complained of cognitive impairment, but daily activities were not affected. This condition was called mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Neurosonographic studies provide a lot of useful information about the functional head and neck vascular parameters. The aim of our study was to provide more information about the significance of the extra- and intracranial arterial blood flow and carotid arterial wall parameters for prediction of dementia for patients with MCI. Objectives of the study is 1) to investigate the demographic and clinical characteristics of MCI patients and to assess their relation with progression to dementia; 2) to investigate blood flow parameters of the extracranial arteries and to assess their relation with progression to dementia; 3) to investigate blood flow parameters of the intracranial arteries and to assess their relation with progression to dementia; 4) to investigate the intima-media thickness and stiffness of carotid arteries walls and to assess their relation with progression to dementia, 5) to investigate the atherosclerotic changes and to assess their relation with progression to dementia; 6) to assess the value of demographic and clinical characteristics and neurosonographic parameters for prediction of dementia.

Full textIn Sweden we have compulsory school attendance, still there are 2000 children and young adolescents who have coherent absence. The aim of our study is to research if and how the collaboration between school, social services and health care professional works and how the professionals describe the problem with school refusal behaviour. We have used qualitative semi structured interviews as our method and interviewed teachers, school counsellor, principal, counsellors within health care and an collaboration team. To analyse our material we used Danermarks collaboration theory and Paynes system theory. Our study shows that collaboration exist although in varying degrees and quality. The study also shows that for collaboration to be successful there need to be a clear framework on how the collaboration should take place and look like, finally the study shows that who you meet in school, social service and health care influence how the collaboration works.Keywords: Collaboration, school, school attendance, school refusal behaviour, social service, youth health care.

Full textMy Sociology PhD thesis aims at contributing to the grasp of the conditions according to which collective actions organized in Guadeloupe are successful –a case in point is “Noël Kakadò”. “Noël Kakadò” is a customary, a cultural and economical celebration, which takes place in the town of Vieux Habitants, where the first colonists settled in 1635. It is an action, lead by a group of associations called “Collectif Eyéri” (Caraïbe name meaning “those who were there before», the first inhabitants). This celebration takes places by the four Advent Fridays, in the four boroughs of the town. It consists in the organization of a Christmas party of yesteryear based on coffee growing, and occurs on the river and cacador square, in a folk memory ambience. It is in the end part of the material and immaterial heritage of the habissois’ territory. I have been wondering if these celebrations or cultural events were in line with the History of the place and its folk memory dimension, about the regional and cultural identity. They also refer to the natives’ values and the way of life on the coffee plantation. They make people link, they develop the territory and its resources, and they lead to local development. These convivial and interdependent moments contribute to legitimate them and make them durable; the economic growth of the territory being their main goal. Being linked to the CERAL laboratory, my work shall first lean on the Sociology of Development (in particular on Pecqueur Bernard, Greffe Xavier, and Teisserenc Pierre ‘S studies). The Sociology of organization (with the studies of Boltanski Luc, Thévenot Laurent, Crozier Michel, and Friedberg) added to the work of Chamoiseau Patrick and Glissant Edouard on the regional and cultural identity shall pad out my writings. Moreover, I will be inspired by the study of two other events: the “Fête du crabe” (celebration praising crab) in Morne-à-l’Eau and the “Fete des cuisinières” (celebration honoring cooking customs) in Pointe-à Pitre. This would be my contribution to a better knowledge of collective actions in Guadeloupe

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att bidra med kunskap om pedagogers erfarenheter av att arbeta för att öka elevers sociala kompetens, de olika hinder och möjligheter pedagogerna kan uppleva, då de blir erbjudna att arbeta utifrån en metod som de fått kompetensutbildning inom. Undersökningen är gjord med kvalitativa intervjuer av fyra pedagoger. I resultatet framgår att pedagogernas arbete för att främja elevers sociala kompetens genomsyrar hela verksamheten, de arbetar inte endast under någon lektion i veckan med social kompetens. Resultatet visar att pedagogerna inte arbetar utifrån en viss metod, utan använder sig av många olika material, trots att alla fyra pedagoger nyligen fått kompetensutbildning inom en viss metod. Det framkom att endast en av de fyra pedagogerna berättade om nya upplevelser av hur man kan arbeta för att öka elevers sociala kompetens, genom deras kompetensutbildning inom en metod. Samma pedagog berättar om insikten att arbeta med individen istället för endast gruppen. En annan berättar om att knyta an idrotten till sin pedagogroll och hur kärlek och struktur är ett motto i detta arbete. Dessutom berättar en pedagog om att ständigt och alltid så är värdegrundsarbetet där. Det framkommer även från en av pedagogerna vikten av att man som pedagog får syn på sin egen roll som lärare och förebild, då de arbetar för att främja elevers sociala kompetens.
Abstract
The purpose with this essay is to contribute the knowledge from four teachers’ experiences to work in order to increase students’ social competence. Those different obstacles and possibilities teachers can experience, when they are offered to work on the basis of a method that they got competence education within. The survey is done with qualitative interviews of the four teachers. The result shows that teachers work in this matter informs the entire activity. They do not work only during some lesson in the week with social competence. The result also shows that the teachers do not work on the basis of only one method. They use many different materials, despite that everyone of the four teachers recently got competence education within a certain method. It turns out that only one of the four teachers told about new experiences that the education with a method had given. The same teacher tells about the understanding to work with the individual instead of the whole group. Another tells about linking the sports to the teacher’s role, and how love and structure are a motto in that teachers work. More over tells another teacher that, permanent and always so is the social and emotional work there. It also turns out from one teacher the weight of that teachers sights its own role and model, when they work in order to promote students social competence.

Full textCookies are a widespread phenomenon and the main technique for digital collection of information. The collected information is often of personal nature and is used, among other things, to personalize user experiences on web pages. The uncertainty regarding digital collection of personal information creates privacy concerns that is significantly debated today. This essay consists of a quantitative study with the aim to investigate possible relations between university students awareness, attitude and behaviour regarding digital collection of information. The survey consist of an online-based poll. The gathered material has been analyzed by the theoretical framework Communication Communication Management (CPM) with the analysis method Partial Least Squares (PLS) and the IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) to find relevant relations. Results showed that the majority of university students are familiar with the phenomenon of cookies, but few are aware of its area of use. It was also found that awareness of cookies has an influence on both behaviour and attitude. It can be established that regardless of whether university students have a negative or positive attitude regarding cookies, it does not affect their behaviour.

Full textKakaobönderna tillhör några av de fattigaste människorna i världen. En grupp bönder i Ghana insåg att deras förutsättningar skulle förbättras om de samarbetade. Kuapa Kokoo är resultatet, ett kakaokooperativ som grundades när en grupp odlare beslöt sig för att gå samman för att bättre kunna ta del av vad marknaden har att erbjuda. Rättvisemärkt certifierade Kuapa Kokoo, vilket innebar att kakaobönderna nu var delaktiga i Rättvisemärkts mål om att förbättra deras arbets- och levnadsvillkor.
Jag valde att titta närmare på Rättvisemärkt då organisationens verksamhet ofta framställs som något positivt av media. Intervjuer med kakaobönderna tyder på att deras levnadsstandard har förbättrats genom Kuapa Kokoo. Rättvisemärkts arbete har, enligt bönderna, medfört att de nu får en skälig lön, som betalas ut i tid, för sitt arbete; de har pengar till mat; de har råd att skicka sina barn till skolan; råd att betala för sjukvård, och har numera brunnar med rent vatten.
Den här socialantropologiska studien behandlar även kritikernas argument mot Rättvisemärkt. Till skillnad från medias positiva bild av Rättvisemärkt har jag i olika sammanhang även kommit i kontakt med kritiskt inställda människor. Det gjorde mig nyfiken på att se vilka argument kritikerna lägger fram, och om de kan utgöra en skälig grund till att ifrågasätta Rättvisemärkts arbete. Deras slutsats är att konsumenten hjälper utvecklingsländernas befolkning mer genom att inte köpa rättvisemärkta varor.

Full textThe research issue: prolonged sitting position at work using a computer, along with poor workplace ergonomics is one of the main reasons causing development of musculoskeletal pains (Janwantakul et al., 2009). In case of non – compliance with the principles of workplace ergonomic requirements, employees are often forced to adapt to poor working conditions (Ghosh et al., 2010). In most cases, it is recommended to change the nature of the work or the work environment, or to look for ways to better adapt by changing the working position according to ergonomic principles (Voerman et al., 2007). Testing objective: establish the cervical spine and upper back, pain and physical activity correlation with the dominant hand fingers and hand strength for the sedentary job employees. Tasks of the testing: 1. To establish the neck and upper back pain prevalence. 2. To evaluate the physical activity of the persons engaged in sedentary job. 3. To identify the dominant hand palm and fingers strength. 4. To determine the correlation between the estimated parameters. Hypothesis: it is considered that the hand and finger strength is lower of physically inactive individuals or of the persons engaged in sedentary job as they more often have complaints about the neck and upper back pain, than the sedentary workers, but physically active individuals. The following methods applied: the sedentary job employees have been questioned, who spend sitting at least 4 hours a day and they were... [to full text]

Full textBackground and problem: Should a company's business be run to maximize shareholder value or meet all stakeholders´ interests is a question that has been the focus of much research. Many researchers have investigated what influences the choice of corporate governance principle, where ownership structure and board composition have been highlighted as significant factors. However, the results are contradictory. Since previous researches have been conducted in different countries and during different periods of time, there is a good reason to investigate whether institutional conditions may affect the relationship between ownership structure / board composition and the choice of corporate governance principle. The institutional environments investigated are Sweden and China. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to explain the relationship between ownership structure / board composition and the choice of corporate governance principle and how this relationship is influenced by various institutional environments. Method: A deductive research approach has been the basis of this study and theories used and applied are shareholder theory, stakeholder theory, agent theory, upper echelon theory and institutional theory. Data for this quantitative research is mainly gathered from Datastream, annual reports from Swedish and Chinese listed companies for 2013- 2015, corporate websites and a composite board material. Results: When the Swedish and Chinese data were tested together, there has been no significant correlation between owner concentration, institutional owners as the largest owner, the proportion of independent directors, the state as the largest owner, the proportion of female board members and the choice of corporate governance principle. Institutional conditions have not had a significant effect on the relationship between ownership structure / board composition and the choice of corporate governance principle. When data for each country was tested separately, there has been no significant correlation between the study's dependent and independent variables except that in the Chinese market there has been a significant positive correlation between the percentage of independent directors and shareholder-oriented value creation and between the state as the largest owner and shareholder-oriented value creation concerning the Swedish market.
