It is generally known that gerunds can have a null subject (NS) that takes the preceding clause as its antecedent. Given certain restrictions independently argued for in the literature, the NS in question cannot be pro, neither can it be maintained that such gerunds have the status of relative clauses. Therefore, the subject in question must be analysed as PRO, which entails that the theoretical s

Dansk udtale kan give selv den mest ihærdige svensker grå hår i hovedet. Tre relativt simple konstruktioner som ordet er dit, der er røg i køkkenet, og de skal nå toget til Odense er givetvis lette at forstå i en sms eller mail, fordi de fleste af ordene er genkendelige, måske bortset fra nå (hinna). Men optræder de tre konstruktioner i en samtale, er de hverken lette at forstå eller lette at udta

Raw milk may be a risk for public health if it is contaminated with zoonotic pathogens. To study the prevalencein unpasteurized milk from Swedish farms, bovine and small ruminant dairy farms were sampled. Since thesampling method and transport conditions may influence the outcome of analyses, efforts were made to optimizethe methodology. Culturing of bacteria was done from in-line milk filters col

AbstractThe value of infoming children about impending medical procedures was investigated, particularly in ægard to possible effects on anxiety, fear, noncooperation and distress in specific clinical situations: urological investigation, heart catheterization, lumbar puncture, acute appendectomy. The use of a preparatory infonnation program was compared with conventional verbal infomation and phaThe value of infoming children about impending medical procedures was investigated, particularly in ægard to possible effects on anxiety, fear, noncooperation and distress in specific clinical situations: urological investigation, heart catheterization, lumbar puncture, acute appendectomy. The use of a preparatory infonnation program was compared with conventional verbal infomation and pharmacolog

During the last few years, a more liberal use of premedication in children scheduled for Ürinary tract examinations was noted. In this retrospective study, the influence of the institution of psychological means for preparation as supplement or alternative to premedication on the incidence of cases receiving premedication was investigated. During the period from 1978 to 1982, this was followed in

A psychological preparation program was developed for use prior to emergency surgery in children. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that provision of specific information prior to an emergency operation would reduce the need for premedication to control anxiety and stress. Children were randomly assigned to either a verbally prepared group given narcotic-sedative premedication (

AbstractThe cerebellum is an important part of the brain and in very preterm infants the cerebellum is smaller at term equivalent age compared to that of infants born at term.Hypothesis and aims: The general hypothesis is that preterm birth per se causes cerebellar underdevelopment and that certain events following preterm birth, either complications or treatments, can aggravate the underdevelopme

Draba incana L. (Brassicaceae) is an arctic-alpine species which is both common and widely distributed in Iceland. Voucher specimens of D. incana in the ICEL and AMNH herbaria were examined and no major changes in the taxonomic identification or the species distribution map were made. Living plants were collected in this study: nine from Eyjafjördur and Lake Mývatn, northern Iceland, and one from

The genus Draba L. is a conspicuous element of the arctic flora, comprising about 350 species worldwide which mostly are arctic-alpine polyploids. Previously, it has mainly been Draba incana L., D. norvegica Gunn., D. nivalis Liljebl., D. alpina L., D. fladnizensis Wulf., D. daurica DC., D. lactea and D. cinerea Adams that have been considered as belonging to the Icelandic flora. In this paper we

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that is, desorption give higher equilibrium moisture contents than absorption at equal ambient climate conditions. Sorption hysteresis is commonly evaluated by determination of an absorption isotherm followed by desorption sSorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity.

The focus of this work is detecting pedestrians, captured in a surveillance setting, and locating them in world coordinates. Commonly adopted search strategies operate in the image plane to address the object detection problem with machine learning, for example using scale-space pyramid with the sliding windows methodology or object proposals. In contrast, here a new search space is presented, whi

En bilds betydelser och funktioner kan ur- skiljas genom dess placering, storlek och utformning. Förutom som beskyddare av vägfarande och mot ond, bråd död, fram- står Kristofferbilden som relaterad till dop, till rumsliga och rituella gränser och till uppvisandet av Kristi kropp. Helgonets bild i Vamlingbo befinner sig i omedelbar anslutning till en nisch i korets nordvägg. Det framstår, med lednThe image of Saint Christopher in the chancel of Vamlingbo Church, Gotland. Sacrament, mobility and boundariesThe aim of the article is to discuss the image of Saint Christopher in the chancel of Vamlingbo Church, Gotland. Since the cult of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travellers and pilgrims, was mainly based on beholding the saint’s image, and the customary position of Christopher imag

Objective: Patients with degenerative or traumatic meniscal tears are at high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis. We investigated if younger (≤40 years) and older (>40 years) patients with preoperative mechanical symptoms (MS) improved more in patient-reported outcomes after meniscal surgery than those without MS. Design: Patients from Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark (KACS) undergoing

Renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors derived from the epithelial cells of the nephron. In recent years the genetic landscape of these tumors has been detailed, leading to progress in mouse modeling of the human disease. In parallel, substantial advancements have been made in describing the transcriptional programs of normal nephron cell types and how they respond to ren
