Is there a political theory in Mary Wollstonecraft’s writings? The question is relevant since Wollstonecraft’s main preoccupation was moral rather than political: the duty of every thinking person to strive to make themselves as good as they can be. This is a complex duty, involving independent thought, acting on principles of reason, and making oneself useful to others. The challenge involved in

In this paper we argue for an analysis of Object Shift in Mainland Scandinavian in which the shifted word order is the result of a prosodic repair to enable weak pronoun incorporation. We observe that varieties with optional OS also have a tone accent contrast. We argue that the in-situ word order is licensed in these dialects because tonal accent creates a prosodic domain licensing the incorporat

Utgångspunkten för min uppsats är tre grupper av ord eller ordformer som alla har s i stamslutet eller i böjningen, vad jag kommer att kalla för sar-pluraler, till exempel avokadosar och cowboysar, keps-ord, till exempel keps och räls, och klafs-ord, till exempel klafs och trams. Den fråga jag vill undersöka är om det finns något samband mellan s-et i de tre grupperna. Min hypotes är att ett sådan

Det verkar som att många politiker nästan hyser en outtalad irritation över att det ska vara så svårt för nyanlända att ­lära sig svenska. Men det kan vara mycket svårt att lära sig ett nytt språk, och det måste ibland få ta tid – även för inlärare som ­anstränger sig hårt, skriver Gunlög Josefsson, professor i svenska.

This work presents the development of a two-moment cloud microphysics scheme within version 5 of the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5). The scheme includes the implementation of a comprehensive stratiform microphysics module, a new cloud coverage scheme that allows ice supersaturation, and a new microphysics module embedded within the moist convection parameterization of GEOS-5. Compreh

The problem addressed in this paper is a case of word order microvariation in Mainland Scandinavian: optional vs. obligatory Object Shift (OS). Following standard assumptions (see Selkirk 1996), weak object pronouns are assumed to be affixal clitics at PF which do not themselves have the status of prosodic words. Since adverbs (including negation), areunsuitable as hosts, weak object pronouns may

How fish eyes may save yours?According to the World Health Organization, cataract was responsible for over half of the blindness world-wide in 2010. Getting a cataract means that the lens inside your eye gets clouded, preventing clear, sharp vision. Cataract can be caused by age, physical trauma, genetics, or even skin disease. It can virtually happen to everyone. It is possible to fix cataract byI have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.First we have investigated lens optical plasticity by measuring longitudi

The prospects of domestic punishment might compel leaders responsible for the initiation of the war to continue fighting until they achieve favorable war outcomes (Croco 2011, 2015). As applied to war duration, this logic implies that ‘culpable’ leaders do not have incentives to end a war that will bring defeat. This paper argues that leaders can escape this dilemma by blaming and replacing their

Objectives: Pulmonary arterial hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are severe diseases with complicated treatment that need care at specialist clinics. The aim was to investigate changes in the patients' perceptions on coping, social support and received information when attending a newly started nurse-coordinated pulmonary arterial hypertension-outpatient clinic.Methods

Att implementera ett övergripande policybeslut i en kunskapsintensiv organisation är komplext, mångfacetterat och långtifrån enkelt (Senge 2006; Trowler 2005). Ämnestraditioner och olika lokala akademiska mikrokulturer (Roxå & Mårtensson 2015) påverkar hur organisationens beslut tas emot, tolkas, och omsätts i praktik. HT-fakulteterna vid Lunds universitet har sjösatt ett stort pedagogiskt utv

Paragone is a well-known and often applied category to discuss the interrelationship of the Sister Arts. However, it does not seem to be a sufficient label to respond to the general questions raised about representation, mimesis and identity brought together in the postmodern intermedial writing of The Matisse Stories (1993), by A.S. Byatt, which was influenced by French avant-garde literature and
