This paper consists of two, somewhat disparate parts. In the first part, some experiences of two years of fieldwork are summarized, concentrating, as the subtitle suggests, on the very heart of phonetic fieldwork: the encounters and interviews with the informants. As a result of the fieldwork, the project now has access to recordings from approximately 1300 speakers of more than 100 dialects of Sw
Comparative psychology is a strongly interdisciplinary field that shares many of its experimental methods and observational techniques with ethology and developmental psychology. The great variety of theories that comparative psychology evokes to explain behavior generates a wide array of exciting and potentially fruitful accounts, but is also problematic. It increases the risk of error in the for
Comprehensive simulations of fire in a retail premise from a blind validation study are presented. The simulations were made using a self-developed parallel CFD program SMAFS [1], with the turbulent flow, turbulent combustion, thermal radiation, soot formation, and the interactive heat transfer inside solid boundary all computed. The results are extensively compared with experimental measurement s
The purpose of this dissertation is the study of the journalism of Runer Jonsson (born 1916), as sole editor of Nybro Tidning, published by the printing house Johansson & Svenson AB. Although coming directly from industrial work, not quite 20 of age and not at all experienced in newspaper publishing Jonsson started his new career after for two years having showed his ability as a writer of loc
a) The use of a solid phase reaction (silver silicate) for avoiding ortho ester formation in some difficult glycosyl donor/acceptor systems. Thus seven monodeoxygenated analogues of 2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethyl betha-lactoside were synthesiszed. Silver silcate was successfully used in betha 1-4 coupling of 2- and 3-deoxy glucosides to to acetobromogalactose. By similar means, the monodeoxylactosyl brom
Ideas on orthographic standardization at the end of the 17the century and a few decades afterwards. The principal actors: Swedberg and Hiärne. The most interesting problem: gemination of vowels and consonants. The new translation of the bible did change the orthography but the spelling was still too conservative and irregular in many respects.
Discussion of transparency and indexes of corruption and their effect on the growing anti-corruption movement. Trust in numbers may lead to opacity rather than transparency
We present the results of a search for relations between observables that are independent of the Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT) Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order (NNLO) Low-Energy Constants (LECs). We have found some relations between observables in $\pi\pi$, $\pi K$ scattering and $K_{l4}$ decay which have been evaluated numerically using the old fit (fit 10 in~\cite{Amoros:2001cp}) of the NLO LEC
Popular Abstract in English The Andean region and the Amazon Basin of South America have been identified as regions of origin and the domestication of many plants. Some of the food crops from these regions such as potato and cassava, have gained global import¬ance, while the majority of food crops are hardly know outside their present area of cultivation. In the first part of this study, underutiBoth the nutritional and functional properties of starch are directly influenced by the molecular structure of its polymers: amylose and amylopectin. It is therefore important to have reproducible methods for quantifying the molecular size. In the first part of the thesis, the composition, crystallinity, degree of branching, morphological, thermal and pasting properties, and susceptibility of the
The dynamic testing method, as an alternative to traditional bench testing against a brake, has proven to be a fast, convenient, yet accurate way of characterizing electrical machines. By measuring the speed and the currents and voltages while alternatively accelerating and decelerating the electrical machine it is possible to obtain its torque and flux linkage characteristics dynamically.

Denna rapport tar fram publikens röster i samband med utställningen Petroglyfiskt Virtuella upplevelser kring hällristningar (maj 2013-december 2014) vid Österlens museum i Simrishamn. Rapporten är en fallstudie som belyser ett pilotprojekt och forskningsexperiment kring publikens möte med interaktiv digital teknik och konst i ett kulturarvssammanhang, samt besökarnas reaktioner på interaktiva och
This report has been written at the request of The Swedish National Committee for Psychology at the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences and it provides an account of the external research funding at the six large university departments of psychology in Sweden during the years 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001. First, an overview of the six departments is given with respect to the amount of research funding,
