Att skriva på engelska är en avgörande färdighet för studenter inom högre utbildning – oavsett ämnesområde. Trots utvecklingen av AI och digitala skrivverktyg är studentens egen förmåga att uttrycka sig i skrift fortfarande central. Det här kapitlet introducerar viktiga akademiska skrivfärdigheter på engelska och visar hur dessa med lärares hjälp kan utvecklas redan under gymnasietiden.

Common proposals for classifying metonyms build on the contiguity of the meaningof a metonym compared to its original meaning. In contrast, this article offers amodel of metonymisation that focuses on the cognitive underpinnings and seesmetonymisation as an attentional process. By using event structure as a framework,we present a cognitive model of events that consists of four elements: actor, pat

We study the geometric significance of Leinster’s magnitude invariant. For closed manifolds we find a precise relation with Brylinski’s beta function and therefore with classical invariants of knots and submanifolds. In the special case of compact homogeneous spaces we obtain an elementary proof that the residues of the beta function contain the same geometric information as the asymptotic expansi

Let G be a group. Then S⊆G is an invariable generating set of G if every subset S′ obtained from S by replacing each element with a conjugate is also a generating set of G. We investigate invariable generation among key examples of branch groups. In particular, we prove that all generating sets of the torsion Grigorchuk groups, of the branch Grigorchuk-Gupta-Sidki groups and of the torsion multi-E

Background: The mitral valve is essential for proper heart function. Patient-specific simulations may provide insights into valve function and provide hemodynamic information for treatment planning. This study presents a framework for patient-specific mitral valve hemodynamic prediction and the validation of the simulation model against echocardiographic and MRI data. Methods: Ten healthy voluntee

Nitrogen removal from wastewater with anammox saves energy and resources. Partial denitrification-anammox (PDA) is a promising process alternative for municipal wastewater treatment, given that the understanding about how to control the microbiome and its activity reach sufficient level. Here, two moving bed biofilm reactors were fed with either acetate or propionate to study the role of organic c

This article develops an argument that in hybrid regimes, different levels of party competition incentivize incumbents to subvert the police in distinct ways, resulting in more corrupt or more repressive policing practices. In competing-pyramid hybrid regimes, such as Ukraine (2013–2019), elites have stronger incentives to preserve police corruption as a tool for immediate resource extraction amid

The formation of platoons, where groups of vehicles follow each other at close distances, has the potential to increase road capacity. In this paper, a decentralized control approach is presented that extends the well-known constant headway vehicle following approach to the two-dimensional case, i.e., lateral control is included in addition to the longitudinal control. The presented control scheme

Segmental gain of chromosome 17q is the most common genetic aberration in high-risk neuroblastoma, but its role in disease progression is poorly understood. This study aims to address the contribution of 17q gain to neuroblastoma malignancy. We analyzed the genetic and transcriptional landscape of 417 neuroblastoma patients across various risk groups and clinical stages using multi-omic approaches

The relationship between degree of coronary artery stenosis and its effect on myocardial perfusion is complex and constitutes a clinical challenge. The aim of this study was to assess diagnostic accuracy of visual assessment of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) for detecting reduced myocardial perfusion determined by quantitative first-pass perfusion (qFPP) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in pa

In this work we investigate the development of functionally graded cemented carbides, featuring macro gradients on the millimeter scale, where Fe, or Ni is the binder phase. Two composites, WC-Ni and WC-Fe with 20 % binder by volume were produced by addition of TiC on the surface of the samples before sintering at 1475 °C for 1 h. The sintered samples were analyzed using electron microscopy and mi

Many women are occupationally active during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between exposure to chemicals during pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. The cohort included singleton births in Sweden between 1994 and 2014. The cohort was limited to low-educated mothers to reduce potential confounding from unidentified life-style associated f

Despite the importance of mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) in long-term soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) persistence, and the significant contribution of fungal necromass to this pool, the factors controlling the formation of fungal-derived MAOM remain unclear. This study investigated how fungal necromass chemistry, specifically melanin, interacts with soil mineral properties and microbial

Chronic breathlessness is a common and distressing symptom, negatively impacting physical function and quality of life. Many individuals presenting with chronic breathlessness wait years for an explanatory diagnosis, leading to delays in accessing effective treatments and worse individual outcomes including premature mortality. In addition, delays to diagnosis are associated with increased healthc

The incidence of parameningeal infection (PI) is increasing in the context of therapy-induced immunosuppression. PI often presents with atypical symptoms, leading to delayed diagnosis and intervention, and can result in severe neurological sequelae. However, current understanding of PI remains limited due to a lack of basic research on host-pathogen interactions. Here, we first established a trans

In this snapshot of moonlight farming in Scania, the southernmost province of Sweden, we reflect on moonlighting as a preservation strategy – a particular form of rural life different from the processes of agricultural upscaling and the rhythms and values of large-scale farming. Our immersion in the lives of three moonlight farmers tells a story of resistance, preservation and sense-scapes – a sta

Detta examensarbete har som mål att ta fram en modern tolkning av det gamla konceptet storformatskamera genom moderna designprocesser och tillverkningsmetoder. För att genomföra projektet har designramverket Double Diamond använts, en divergerande och konvergerande designprocess. En kundundersökning genomfördes genom intervjuer av användare. Informationen från intervjuerna, samt från en konkurrenThis thesis has the goal of developing a modern interpretation of the old concept of large format cameras, through modern design and manufacturing processes. The overarching design framework for this thesis has been the Double Diamond method, a diverging and converging design process. A customer survey through interviews of users has led to a list of requirements, from which concepts were generat

The use of bio-based materials offers opportunities to mitigate the climate impacts of construction, with buildings potentially acting as carbon sinks. However, it remains unclear what a future bio-based construction sector will look like. One reason for this are diverse socio-technical visions for the use of bio-based construction materials. In this paper, we use discourse analysis across a compr
