The logic of the two principal ways of defining a genre - the classificatory and the historical is described. The problems concerning the classificatory definitions are analyzed. The distinction natural language and meta-language is evoked,and the fact that natural languages is defying this distinction,always mixing the levels,the classificatory genres do not. The historical genres belong to the n

Summertime measurements of CO2 and CH4 fluxes were carried out over a range of high-arctic ecosystem types in the valley Zackenbergdalen since 1996 using both chamber and eddy covariance methodology. The net ecosystem CO2 exchange and CH4 flux data presented reveal a high degree of inter-annual variability within the dominant vegetation types in the valley, but also show distinct differences betwe

Det övergripande syftet med avhandlingen var att belysa och kontextualisera fysioterapeutiska insatser för personer med schizofreniforma psykoser utifrån aktuell forskning om psykomotorisk funktion och självmedvetande. Självmedvetandeforskning, både experimentell och fenomenologisk, kopplar de mest grundläggande självmedvetandenivåerna till vårt kroppsliga ursprung; hur vi via den sensomotoriska f

This paper takes issue with a recent proposal due to Shogenji (Synthese 184:29-48, 2012). In his paper, Shogenji introduces J, a normatively motivated formal measure of justification (and of confirmation), and then proceeds to recruit it descriptively in an explanation of the conjunction fallacy. We argue that this explanation is undermined by the fact that it cannot be extended in any natural way

In Sweden and in other countries, building owners are encouraged to help reduce energy consumption, both in order to contribute to national energy saving goals and, in terms of their own interests, to reduce the costs of heating and operation of the building. However, it is important to pursue the most optimal strategy available so as to achieve cost-effective energy usage while simultaneously mai

Introduction The incidence of perforated peptic ulcer remains high in low and middle-income countries. Mortality can be significant, and early surgical management with careful evaluation of pre-operative risk factors is essential. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment for perforated peptic ulcer disease in Liberia and to explore risk factors for adve

Research comparing adolescents engaging in suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), both separately and in combination, is still at an early stage. The purpose of the present study was to examine overlapping and distinguishable features in groups with different types of self-injurious behaviors, using a large community sample of 2,964 (50.6 % female) Swedish adolescents aged 15–17 years. Adol

The clinical assessment of language impairment (LI) in bilingual children imposes challenges for speech-language pathology services. Assessment tools standardized for monolingual populations increase the risk of misinterpreting bilingualism as LI. This Perspective article summarizes recent studies on the assessment of bilingual LI and presents new results on including non-linguistic measures of ex

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen fokuserar på tillämpningen av lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS) och skillnaden mellan law in books och law in action. De empiriska studierna har sin metodologiska grund i samhällsvetenskaplig teori. Studierna har gjorts vid tre arenor som uppvisar parallella normbildningsprocesser. De tre arenorna är kommuner, FörsäkrinThe focus of this study is on the application of the Swedish Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS), and the gap between law in books and law in action. The methodology of the thesis involves empirical studies founded in social science theory. The study involves three arenas of public authorities with parallel norm creating processes, represented b

Well-preserved fossil eggs and eggshell fragments from the Pliocene Apolakkia Formation of Rhodes (Greece) are described. The eggs were found in-situ in a clutch. They are sub- spherical with lengths of 53-60 mm and widths of about 40 mm. All eggs are diagenetically compressed and their original diameters are estimated at 45-50 mm. The eggshells are 0.3-0.5 mm thick, partly re-crystallized, but wi

A flattening filter free x-ray beam mode was added to an Elekta linear accelerator by placing a flat copper plate in the filter carousel and recalibrating the electron steering servo, gun servo and dosimetry system. Machine configurations were saved onto a separate hard disk in order to remain separate from the clinical configuration. Profile measurements with a Schuster BMS diode array show that

The inducement of electroactive consortia was carried Out in dual-chamber MFCS using acetate-based substrate- and a protein-rich synthetic wastewater in fed-batch mode. The characteristics of these MFCs were then compared. MFCs based on acetate-induced consortia (MFCAce) achieved more than twice higher maximum power, and one half of optimal external resistance in comparison to MFCs based on consor

Contributing to the design update phase of the European Spallation Source ESS-scheduled to start operation in 2019-a test beamline is under construction at the BER II research reactor at Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin (HZB). This beamline offers experimental test capabilities of instrument concepts viable for the ESS. The experiments envisaged at this dedicated beamline comprise testing of components as

A program for building level schemes from gamma-spectroscopy coincidence data has been developed. The scheme builder was equipped with two different algorithms: a statistical one based on the Metropolis method and a more logical one, called REMP (REcurse, Merge and Permute), developed from scratch. These two methods are compared both on ideal cases and on experimental gamma-ray data sets. The REMP

Objective. To compare the recently developed CKD-EPI equation to estimate GFR in adult Swedish-Caucasians with the MDRD equation. Material and methods. Swedish-Caucasians (N = 850, 376 females; median age 60, range 5-95 years) referred for plasma iohexol-clearance (median 55, range 5-223 mL/min/1.73 m(2)) constituted the Lund-Malmo Study cohort. Bias, precision (interquartile range, IQR, of the di

Putsade fasader har utöver fukt också problem med mögel. Särskilt om ytan är täckt av ett skikt tunnputs. Den tunna putsen kyls av på natten och blir kallare än nattluften. I den kondens som uppstår på fasaden trivs alger och mögelsvampar.

Background. Fast and accurate work-up is crucial to ensure the best possible treatment and prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer. The presence or absence of neck lymph node metastases is important for the prognosis and the choice of treatment. Clinical lymph node (N)-staging is done by palpation and diagnostic imaging of the neck. We investigated the current practice of the initial radi

It is a hallmark of natural language use that the way we talk about something reflects how it is represented in the mind of our conversation partner. This thesis studies the use and cognitive processing of referring expressions like one in comparison with other expression types in spoken Danish. The cognitive status of referents in other people’s minds can be understood in terms or referential g
