2. 1. Virtual Reality for Enriched Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients with Spatial Neglect : Diagnostics and the Rehabilitation Effect on Spatial Attention and Neuronal Activity

   Author : Helena Fordell; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Hanne Krarup Christensen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Stroke; spatial neglect; rehabilitation; virtual reality; enriched environment; fMRI;

   Abstract : Background: Approximately a third of all stroke patients develop spatial neglect, a debilitating symptom associated with poor outcome. Spatial neglect is clinically defined as a deficit in processing and responding to stimuli presented on the contralesional side of the body, or the space surrounding that side of the body. READ MORE

4. 2. Unilateral neglect : aspects of rehabilitation from an occupational therapy perspective

   Author : Kerstin Tham; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : unilateral neglect; unawareness of disabilities; sustained attention; motivation; neglect assessment; assessment of awareness of disabilities; intervention strategies; compensatory strategies; transfer of learning; occupational therapy; rehabilitation; phenomenology;

   Abstract : Unilateral neglect (UN) refers to an inability to orient the attention to stimuli in the contralesional hemispace. This may severely impair the performance of everyday tasks. UN is most common and severe after right brain damage. READ MORE

5. 3. Promoting agency among people with severe psychiatric disability : occupation-oriented interventions in home and community settings

   Author : Maria Lindström; Margareta Lindberg; Birgitta Bernspång; Stefan Sjöström; Staffan Josephsson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : Mental health; Psychotic disorders; Activities of daily living; Social participation; Recovery; Occupational therapy; Rehabilitation; Client centered; Residential facilities; Supported housing; Sheltered housing; Outcome assessment; Qualitative research; Occupational therapy; arbetsterapi;

   Abstract : In general, people with severe psychiatric disability living in sheltered or supported housing lead passive, solitary lives. Current rehabilitative approaches often neglect considering an agentic perspective of the residents in sheltered or supported housing. Furthermore, the outreach and societal contexts are often not considered. READ MORE

6. 4. Flow and Compression of Granulated Powders : The Accuracy of Discrete Element Simulations and Assessment of Tablet Microstructure

   Author : Ann-Sofie Persson; Göran Frenning; Göran Alderborn; Marie Wahlgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Discrete Element Method; Granule; Flow; Angle of Repose; Discharge Rate; Shear; Rolling friction; Compression; Elastic deformation; Microstructure; Degree of compression; Tensile strength; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics;

   Abstract : Simulations are powerful and important tools for gaining insight into powder processes. Ultimately, simulations have the potential to replace experiments. Thus, accurate models and insight into the essential factors for descriptions of powder behaviour are required. READ MORE

7. 5. Targeting malaria elimination : an assessment of malaria control interventions for children in Zanzibar

   Author : Netta Beer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Zanzibar;

   Abstract : Background: After decades of neglect, a renewed global focus on malaria was initiated in the 90s, followed by global financial support in the early 2000s. Zanzibar has been in the forefront of these renewed efforts: Case management and vector-control interventions have been implemented and scaled-up rapidly, resulting in markedly reduced malaria transmission and the targeting of malaria elimination.
