This paper discusses the grammatical and semantic properties ofverbalizing lexical affixes in Takituduh Bunun (Austronesian, Taiwan), arguing thatthese lexical affixes are the overt realization of the category-assigning head v, while thenominal stems of these lexical prefixes are reduced nPs, rather than full DPs. The paperdescribes the argument structure and transitivity pattern of these verbaliz
Background: Ultra-high field (UHF) 7 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers significant improvements in signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution. However, it also presents challenges such as increased acoustic noise, peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS), and various potential physiological and perceptual effects. Therefore, from a human response perspective, it is crucial to consider both
This article examines Sweden's transition towards a highly digitalised and near-cashless payment system and analyses how this transformation affects individuals who remain dependent on cash. While Sweden is frequently portrayed as a global frontrunner in digitalisation, the shift towards digital payments has not been driven by explicit political decisions or coordinated social planning. Instead, t
Reading ability emerges from interacting phonological and semantic skills. However, the cortical microstructure supporting these traits remains unclear. Multimodal cortical parcellation and diffusion analysis were performed in 1,068 participants, including a genetically informed twin subsample. We identified auditory and anterior temporal subregions predicting oral reading scores. In the left audi
The seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries saw a growing conflict between the crown, landowners, and nomadic Sámi in central Sweden. Laws and regulations stipulated that non-sedentary Sámi be banished to inland northern Sweden, the ‘lappmarker’, or take up indentured service under the control of the freeholders of the parishes. Reindeer pasture was an economic corner stone for many Sámi in cen
Reclaimed bricks are increasingly considered in circular construction; however, their substantial variability highlights the need for improved characterization and grading to enable reliable reuse. This study investigates the relationships among net density, 24h water absorption, initial rate of absorption (IRA), the water absorption coefficient (Aw), and compressive strength (fb) in reclaimed bri
Although Western-based LGBTQIA* mobilizations have often been considered rather internally fragmented and isolated from other movements, recent investigations show that LGBTQIA* organizations have increasingly addressed multiple discriminations and built solidarity ties with communities coping with various inequality structures – such as race, class, and dis/abilities. This article addresses this
This dissertation examines emergent forms of digitally enabled boundary-spanning by considering the within- and cross-field interactions developed by LGBTQIA* organisations on social media. Within scholarship on collective actors characterised by strong collective identities, LGBTQIA* collective action fields have been conventionally found to be rather fragmented and polarised, as well as isolated
As the core hub of cellular energy metabolism and signal transduction, the maintenance of mitochondrial functional homeostasis is crucial for cellular fate. This thesis investigates mitochondrial respiratory and redox responses in selected models of mitochondrial stress, with particular attention to cell-typ differences and methodological aspects of PBMC-based mitochondrial respiration. The first
The development of future forest deadwood is uncertain, as processes related to deadwood formation (i.e., tree growth and mortality) as well as deadwood decomposition are simultaneously impacted by climate change. To elucidate future deadwood dynamics under scenarios of climate change, we combined a map of current global deadwood stocks with tree growth and mortality rates simulated by five dynami
Emergent macroscopic descriptions of matter, such as hydrodynamics, are central to our description of complex physical systems across a wide spectrum of energy scales. The conventional understanding of these many-body phenomena has recently been shaken by a number of experimental findings. Collective behavior of matter has been observed in mesoscopic systems, such as high-energy hadron–hadron coll
PurposeStreptococcus pyogenes cause invasive infections with variable incidence over time. In 2023, an increase in invasive S. pyogenes infections caused by emm-types 1 and 12 was reported globally. In Southern Sweden an increase in S. pyogenes emm12 severe infections was also noted and we set out to determine if this increase was caused by a single genetic sublineage.MethodsData on severe S. pyog
Background: The knowledge of the long-term consequences of covid-19 is limited. In patients, symptoms such as fatigue, decreased physical, psychological, and cognitive function, and nutritional problems have been reported. How the disease has affected next of kin, as well as staff involved in the care of patients with covid-19, is also largely unknown. The overall aim of this study is therefore th
Dysphagia occurs commonly in the intensive care unit (ICU). Despite the clinical relevance, there is little worldwide research on prevention, assessment, evaluation, and/or treatment of dysphagia for ICU patients. We aimed to gain insight into this international knowledge gap. We conducted a multi-center, international online cross-sectional survey of adult ICUs. Local survey distribution champion
