   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bilingualism; critical period; electroencephalography; event-related potentials; first language retention; international adoption; phonology; second language acquisition; Bilingualism; tvåspråkighet;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the influence of age of acquisition on the long-term second language development of international adoptees. Because age of acquisition typically coincides with the onset of bilingualism, the study of maturational age effects in second language acquisition has been empirically and conceptually entangled with changes in language input and use.

4. 3. Articulation and velopharyngeal function in patients with cleft lip and/or palate : Outcome predictors

   Författare :Åsa Okhiria; Daniel Nowinski; Yvonne Wren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cleft lip and palate; cleft width; cleft type; surgical technique; articulation; velopharyngeal function; international adoption;

   Sammanfattning : Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital craniofacial malformation, requiring multidisciplinary treatment, including surgery and often speech therapy. Palatal surgery restores the anatomical barrier between the oral and nasal cavities as well as the palatal function needed for normal speech. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : In order to study internationally adopted delinquents, internationally adopted controls, delinquent controls and an additional group of healthy non-adopted, non-delinquent controls, the following tests were used: WISC/WAIS, TOL, WCST, a questionnaire, I think I am, ISSI, an attachment test, KSP, and SCL-90. In the register study, data were obtained from the registers of The National Board of Health and Welfare and Statistics Sweden and multivariate analyses were performed using logistic regression models.

7. 5. Population-based studies of body mass index, overweight and systolic blood pressure among Swedish young men

   Författare :Malin Kark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Blood pressure; Epidemiology; Fetal growth; Fetal origins hypothesis; International adoptees; Overweight; Population-based study; Twins; Young men.;

   Sammanfattning : Overweight and obesity has increased in Sweden and worldwide in recent decades. Lifestyle and environmental changes, genetic susceptibility and interactions between these factors are believed to be important. A theoretical framework often referred to, as the fetal origins hypothesis has been extensively debated over the last 15 years. LÄS MER
