Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom
- 2016. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom har 28 ledande experter inom arbetsterapi bidragit med gedigen kunskap och klinisk erfarenhet av barn och ungdom med funktionsnedsättningar.I boken finns ett tydligt fokus på aktiviteter i barnens vardag men även i förhållande till hälsa, samhälle och transition från barn till vuxenlivet. Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom tar även upp aktiviteter kring lek, skola och fritid samt hur barn lär sig nya aktiviteter, och hur de kan träna och kompensera för nedsatt funktion. Kommunikation, kognitivt stöd och förmågan att använda sina händer behandlas också.
Boken representerar forskningsläget för svensk arbetsterapi inom området barn och ungdom. Den visar att det finns en bredd i den pågående forskningen men också att det behövs mer kunskap. Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom riktar sig till arbetsterapeuter inom grundutbildning och fortbildning samt till verksamma arbetsterapeuter och andra yrkesgrupper som möter funktionsnedsatta barn och ungdomar.

Parental responsibility in the context of neuroscience and genetics
- 2017
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Should parents aim to make their children as normal as possible to increase their chances to "fit in"? Are neurological and mental health conditions a part of children's identity and if so, should parents aim to remove or treat these? Should they aim to instill self-control in their children? Should prospective parents take steps to insure that, of all the children they could have, they choose the ones with the best likely start in life?This volume explores all of these questions and more. Against the background of recent findings and expected advances in neuroscience and genetics, the extent and limits of parental responsibility are increasingly unclear. Awareness of the effects of parental choices on children's wellbeing, as well as evolving norms about the moral status of children, have further increased expectations from (prospective) parents to take up and act on their changing responsibilities. The contributors discuss conceptual issues such as the meaning and sources of moral responsibility, normality, treatment, and identity. They also explore more practical issues such as how responsibility for children is practiced in Yoruba culture in Nigeria or how parents and health professionals in Belgium perceive the dilemmas generated by prenatal diagnosis.

Neuroethics and Cultural Diversity
- 2023
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- There is a growing discussion concerning the relationship between neuroethical reflections and cultural diversity, which is among the most impactful factors in shaping neuroethics, both as a scientific discipline and a social enterprise. The impacts of culture on science and its public perception are particularly relevant to neuroethics, which aims to facilitate the creation of an interface between neuroscience and society at large. Time is ripe for neuroethics to review the influence of the culturally specific contexts from which it originated (i.e. North America and Western Europe) and to also include other cultural perspectives in the discussion.This book illustrates a convergent approach among different cultures in identifying the main issues raised by neuroscience and emerging technologies. This should be taken as a starting point for advancing in the search for shared solutions, which are, if not definitive, at least sufficiently reliable to be translated into democratic deliberative processes.

Subcortical stroke
- 2002
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Subcortical Stroke is a new and fully revised edition of Lancunar and Other Subcortical Infractions(OUP, 1995). Stroke is one of the most common causes of death and subcortical stroke accounts for 20-30% of all cerebrovascular infarcts. Our understanding of stroke processes in general, and subcortical stroke in particular, has advanced considerably in recent years. Research findings from the fields of neurochemistry, imaging and genetics have provided insight and input to our understanding of this condition, and this new edition provides an opportunity to describe these advances, and to relate the findings to the clinical expression, neural mechanism, prognosis and treatment of subcortical stroke. In addition, new subcortical syndromes such as CADASIL are covered, as is subcortical haemorrhage. This book presents a comprehensive and authoritative review of the field with contributions from the leading international experts. Subcortical Stroke is for stroke physicians, neurologists and those researching cerebrovascular diseases.
