1. 6. Standardizing diagnostic assessment of autism spectrum disorder : assets and challenges

   Författare :Eric Zander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study some previously under-researched psychometric properties of the standardized diagnostic instruments Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised [ADI-R] and Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule [ADOS] as well as the standardized Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition [VABS-II] in order to improve current diagnostic practice. Excellent interpersonal objectivity operationalized as interrater reliability of the ADI-R and the ADOS has been reported from research settings with highly trained, research reliable examiners.

4. 8. TV-tittande som dialog : På väg mot en symbolisk-interaktionistisk TV-teori

   Författare :Margareta Rönnberg; Stockholms universitet Institutionen för filmvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; identification; para-social interaction; mirroring; symbolic interactionism; role-taking; the TV-other ; the generalized media-other ; dialogue; aesthetic philosphy; imagination; narrative psychology; identity construction; values; evaluation;

   Sammanfattning : Research itself -  on television and the young -  is the object of this research. From a humanistic viewpoint, relational and interactional concepts are critically scrutinized: how have eg 'identification' and 'para-social interaction' been defined and used by (psycho-analytically influenced) mass communication researchers in sociology, psychology and pedagogy in order to allegedly 'explain' the 'effects' of television on the identity, personality or behavior of young viewers? These definitions and uses are found lacking in many respects, and the views of insightful film theoreticians are recommended instead. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous disease. Diagnosis relies on symptom evaluation and lung function tests using spirometry. Symptoms can be vague. Spirometry is effort-dependent and does not reliably evaluate small airways. LÄS MER

7. 10. Exploring language skills and well-being in inclusive preschools : The impact of a dialogic reading intervention

   Författare :Rasmus Riad; Mara Westling Allodi; Eva Siljehag; Sven Bölte; Monica Melby-Lervåg; Stockholms universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Language skills during the preschool years are important for cognitive and social development, learning, and well-being, especially for children that are less proficient in the language that peers and teachers use for communication and teaching, known as the majority language. The overall aim of this thesis is to explore the effect of a practice-embedded introduction of dialogic reading in preschool, a method that engages children in conversation, using language-promoting strategies.
