    Language is shaped for social interactions, as well as by the brain

    Language learning is not primarily driven by a motivation to describe invariant features of the world, but rather by a strong force to be a part of the social group, which by definition is not invariant. It is not sufficient for language to be fit for the speaker's perceptual motor system. It must also be fit for social interactions

    Syfte: Syftet med vÄr studie Àr att undersöka om pedagoger, med hjÀlp av de kunskaper de fÄr i sin utbildning, Àr förberedda att hantera situationer dÀr vissa barns hemförhÄllanden kan fÄ negativa konsekvenser i den pedagogiska verksamheten. HuvudfrÄga: Vad har verksamma pedagoger för kunskap, beredskap, förhÄllningssÀtt och erfarenhet gÀllande hantering av situationer dÀr barn far illa i hemmet? Metod och material: Vi har i vÄr studie anvÀnt oss av halvstrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer. Deltagarna bestod av fem pedagoger som pÄ nÄgot sÀtt har anknytning till förskoleverksamheten. Vid transkriberingen av intervjuerna, valde vi ut det material som vi ansÄg vara mest relevant för vÄra frÄgestÀllningar. Resultat: Vi kom i vÄr studie fram till att de respondenter vi intervjuade, trots stora brister av denna problematik i deras utbildning, idag har bra kunskap och beredskap för att hantera situationer dÀr barn far illa och pÄ ett negativt sÀtt pÄverkar den pedagogiska verksamheten. Denna kunskap och beredskap har de erhÄllit genom flera Ärs erfarenhet inom yrket och av kollegor som delat med sig av deras erfarenheter och kunskaper inom denna problematik. Det Àr alltsÄ genom erfarenhet och utbyte av tankar, idéer och kunskaper med kollegor som pedagogerna har fÄtt den kunskap de idag besitter. Med hjÀlp av respondenternas svar kunde vi av detta alltsÄ dra en slutsats om att nyutexaminerade pedagoger inte har tillrÀcklig kunskap att tillgÄ för att hantera denna typ av problematik. Betydelse för lÀraryrket: Detta Àr en svÄrighet att som alla pedagoger sÀkerligen kommer att komma i kontakt med under sitt yrkesverksamma liv. DÀrför Àr det viktigt att redan frÄn början fÄ en grund att stÄ pÄ. Denna grund bör dÀrför ingÄ som ett obligatoriskt inslag i lÀrarutbildningen, för att pedagoger redan under sina första Är ska vara redo att bemöta och kunna hantera denna problematik

    AbstractObjectives. We sought to evaluate whether troponin T might be used for identification of patients with unstable coronary artery disease in whom treatment with low molecular weight heparin is beneficial.Background. Early identification of subgroups with differences in response to a certain treatment is important to optimize the utilization of different therapeutic approaches.Methods. Nine-hundred seventy-one patients with unstable coronary artery disease who participated in a trial of the low molecular weight heparin dalteparin (Fragmin) and who provided blood samples were classified into subgroups according to troponin T level. In the short-term phase all patients received subcutaneous dalteparin/placebo twice daily for 6 days. During the long-term phase they continued with daltparin/placebo once daily for another 5 weeks.Results. In the short-term phase, dalteparin reduced the incidence of death or myocardial infarction from 2.4% to 0% (p = 0.12) and from 6.0% to 2.5% (p < 0.05) in 327 and 644 patients with troponin T levels <0.1 and ≄0.1 ÎŒg/liter, respectively. During long-term treatment there was an increasing difference between the placebo and dalteparin group in those with troponin T levels ≄0.1 ÎŒg/liter, in whom the incidences at 40 days were 14.2% and 7.4%, respectively (p < 0.01). In contrast, no beneficial effect of the long-term treatment could be demonstrated in those with troponin T levels <0.1 ÎŒg/liter (4.7% vs. 5.7%).Conclusions. Elevation of troponin T identifies a subgroup of patients in whom prolonged antithrombotic treatment (e.g., with dalteparin) is beneficial.(J Am Coll Cardiol 1997;29:43–8)

    Ponencias, comunicaciones y pĂłsters presentados en el 17th AGILE Conference on Geographic Information Science "Connecting a Digital Europe through Location and Place", celebrado en la Universitat Jaume I del 3 al 6 de junio de 2014.Geographic Information Science & Technology (GIS&T) is constantly evolving in scientific and technological terms. In 2006 the GIS&T Body of Knowledge (BoK) initiative has provided a domain inventory that serves as a structured basis for curriculum development. The content and structure of the BoK are currently undergoing revision. One of the projects addressing an update of the BoK is the project Geographic Information: Need to Know. In this project an assessment of current and future workforce demand and educational supply in the geographic information (GI) domain provide the basis for revising the BoK. This article reports on first results from a survey regarding GI workforce demand in Europe. People working in the GIS&T domain were asked to rate BoK knowledge areas related to their relevance in a professional working context. These ratings are differentiated by types of organizations and educational backgrounds of respondents. The report is rounded off with an outlook to the results on future competences identified by respondents
