Summary. Proceeding from the assumption that metaphors as well as pictures are iconic signs, the present contribution studies what happens when metaphors occur in figurative pictures. The author distinguishes between primary iconicity, the reco¬gnition of which is a condition for the categorization of an object as a sign, and secondary iconicity, which is perceived only after an object has been ca

Upon request of the FEMM committee, this note provides an overview of the situation of women's rights and gender equality in Sweden focussing on recent developments. it notably covers the areas of equal participation in decision-making, women in the labour-market, reconciliation of private and professional Life, eradiction of gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health and rights, gender

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus are important for the rheological behaviour and texture of a variety of fermented food products. Furthermore, EPSs from food-grade LAB have potential as food additives and functional food ingredients with both health and economic benefits. However, the production levels of EPSs fr

I artikeln behandlas de historiskt och kulturellt betingade motsättningarna mellan ”nordiskhet” och katolicism

The binaries PSR J1141-6545 and PSR B2303+46 each appear to contain a white dwarf that formed before the neutron star. We describe an evolutionary pathway to produce these two systems. In this scenario, the primary transfers its envelope on to the secondary, which is then the more massive of the two stars, and indeed sufficiently massive later to produce a neutron star via a supernova. The core of

Under de senaste åren har det skett en dramatisk ökning av tillämpad samhällsforskning i Sverige. Författarna frågar sig hur all denna forskning använts och vilken funktion den har, särskilt i socialt arbete. Är den ett bidrag till hunsade och förnedrade människors frigörelse, eller befäster den bara deras underordning genom att skapa en expertis som legitimerar den rådande ordningen?

Boken handlar om samtliga svenska bondeuppror (dvs uppror i det dåvarande kungariket Sverige) och krigiska bondeallianser på 1400-talet. Huvudtemat är den politiska och socialhistoriska läroprocess genom vilken de svenska bönderna insåg att politiskt våld lönar sig, att en militarisering av det politiska beteendet resulterar i ökat samhälleligt inflytande. Boken har en omfattande notförteckning s

This article presents an analog implementation of the signal component generator (SCG) of the CALLUM2 linear transmitter architecture. The proposed SCG is suited for integration in a standard 0.35 μm CMOS process, and has from simulations proven to be adequate when operating on an EDGE modulated baseband signal with a data rate of 270.833 ksymb/s. The total current consumption of the SCG is 2.0 mA

Energy efficient wood frame buildings give besides a number of positive effects also risks for moisture damages. To avoid moisture damage in wood houses some parts of the Swedish construction industry use WUFI 1D calculation tool in the design phase. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the coupling between measured and WUFI 1D calculated values of relative humidity and temperature. The fir
