6. 4. Representing sounds and spellings : Phonological decline and compensatory working memory in acquired hearing impairment

   Author : Elisabet Classon; Jerker Rönnberg; Mary Rudner; Mikael Johansson; Nathalie Phillips; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Acquired hearing impairment; phonology; WMC; reading span; Förvärvad hörselnedsättning; fonologi; arbetsminne; lässpann;

   Abstract : This thesis examined phonological processing in adults with postlingually acquired moderate-to-severe hearing impairment (HI) and whether explicit working memory processing of phonology and individual working memory capacity (WMC) can compensate for degraded phonological representations in this group (papers I-III). A second aim was to provide reference data for a test of WMC, the reading span test, and to examine the relation between reading span test performance and speech recognition in noise in a larger sample of 50-89 year olds with HI (paper IV).

7. 5. Renewable Energy and Nutrient Valorization from Anaerobic Digestion : Resource-Efficient Solutions

   Author : Sandra Carlos-Pinedo; Zhao Wang; Ola Eriksson; Shveta Soam; Henrik Wenzel; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid-state anaerobic digestion; methane yield; digestate; systems analysis; modelling; life cycle assessment; Torrötning; metanutbyte; biogödsel; systemanalys; modellering; livscykelanalys;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis aimed at understanding process performance, methane yield, and key influencing factors within the context of solid-state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD). SS-AD is used to treat organic material with high solids content, which can be challenging to address by alternative methods. READ MORE
