  1. 1. Cognitive deafness : The deterioration of phonological representations in adults with an acquired severe hearing loss and its implications for speech understanding

    Författare :Ulf Andersson; Björn Lyxell; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Acquired hearing loss; phonological processsing; cochlear implants; speechreading; Disability research; Handikappsforskning;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the present thesis was to examine possible cognitive consequences of acquired hearing loss and the possible impact of these cognitive consequences on the ability to process spoken language presented through visual speechreading or through a cochlear implant.The main findings of the present thesis can be summarised in the following conclusions: (a) The phonological processing capabilities of individuals who have acquired a severe hearing loss or deafness deteriorate progressively as a function of number of years with a complete or partial auditory deprivation.

    Nyckelord :adolescence; child; time; incidence; costs; permanent dentition; primary dentition; risk; tooth injuries; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Dental trauma occur in childhood and adolescence with consequences in time and costs for both patient and family. The scientific knowledge of these matters is scarce. For some individuals, dental trauma will result in long, time-consuming and costly treatments in childhood which will continue into adulthood. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Controlling the Formation and Stability of Alumina Phases

    Författare :Jon Martin Andersson; Ulf Helmersson; Eric Kay; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thin films; alumina; magnetron sputtering; phase stability; density functional theory; Material physics with surface physics; Materialfysik med ytfysik;

    Sammanfattning : In this work, physical phenomena related to the growth and phase formation of alumina, Al2O3, are investigated by experiments and computer calculations. Alumina finds applications in a wide variety of areas, due to many beneficial properties and several existing crystalline phases. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Genetic variations in the NALP3 inflammasome: a susceptibility factor for inflammatory diseases

    Författare :Deepti Verma; Peter Söderkvist; Ulf Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Inflammasome; Interleukin-1 beta; NALP3; autoinflammation; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Innate immunity has received impressive attention in the past decade owing to the discovery of the Toll like receptors (TLRs) and the NOD-like receptors (NLRs). While the TLRs specialize in fighting microbes at the cell surface, the NLRs complement by detecting and responding to intracellular microbes. LÄS MER
