The chapter reviews evidence for the bodily mimesis hypothesis, which states that the evolution of language was preceded by an adaptation for improved volitional control of the body, giving our ancestors advantages in the domains of imitation, empathy, and gestural communication. Much of this evidence is also shared by other gesture-first theories of language origins, but they face the problem of
Pathogenic microbes acquire human complement inhibitors to circumvent the innate immune system. In this study, we identify two novel host-pathogen interactions, factor H (FH) and factor H-like protein 1 (FHL-1), the inhibitors of the alternative pathway that binds to Hib. A collection of clinical Haemophilus influenzae isolates was tested and the majority of encapsulated and unencapsulated bound F
Of all information gathered and maintained by a small municipality, in this case the city of Berkeley, California, the percentage that is somehow geographically related is usually very high. The key to an efficient land management and analysis system is to link information gathered by a municipality's administration to its actual geographic locations; locations that together form the complexit

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur genus - vårt socialt skapade kön skapas i en musikpedagogisk verksamhet. Finns det någon skillnad mellan pojkar och flickors intresse i ämnet musik, val av instrument eller agerande i undervisningen? Hur bemöter eleverna varandra, hur bemöter läraren eleverna och tvärtom ur ett genusperspektiv? Studien utfördes på en grundskola i klasserna sju och
International migration is a way to find work and support family members for many people in developing countries where income opportunities are few. The number of female migrants have grown and women migrate increasingly as main providers for their families or as heads of households. This thesis uses qualitative analysis to explore the migration process by comparing the reasons behind the migratio
In this thesis inequality in China has been measured and compared with economic reforms. Inequality is measured by a multidimensional framework inspired by the capability approach. Rights, health, education and income have been measured to study what possibilities people have to be and do what they want. The data is collected from the National Bureau of Statistics of China and is disaggregated on
This essay examines the using of consensus method for decision making within the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the process that led to the decision to adopt its usage. The main question of my essay is why the method was introduced to the WCC and what motives lay behind its introduction. Other questions are how the consensus method works; both in theory and in practice, and what the predecess
Unlike previous research, this thesis considers the possibility of regarding the morning prayers in Swedish schools as preaching, rather than teaching. 28 morning prayers, delivered in the church of S:t Johannes in the city of Malmö during 1939-1954 by the religious teacher Astri Heimer (1889-1986), constitutes the material for analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Heimer's mor
Conventional democratic institutions are unable to sufficiently incorporate citizens’ views in the context of a changing climate. The lack of a shared understanding of what citizen participation entails and what it should look like limits the potential for effective engagement. Postulating that citizen participation in policy-making processes could contribute to better decisions regarding flood ri
In the West Bank, a context of protracted displacement and institutional fragmentation, internally displaced persons remain structurally excluded from both humanitarian and national protection systems. Amid fragmented aid architecture and legal ambiguity, the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus has been promoted as a framework for institutional coherence. Yet, it remains mired in a contested spac
The aesthetic and literary genre of dark academia has become popular due to its romanticisation of immersive academic learning and lifestyles. It has however been criticised for its frequent glorification of and focus on Eurocentric educational institutions which celebrate Western patriarchal exclusivity. This thesis examines in how far this is true of the genre’s prominent novels Donna Tartt’s Th

The primary aim of the study was to investigate the applicability of Dunn’s sensory processing model (1997) to youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The model describes four patterns of sensory processing: sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration and sensation seeking. The current study test whether these four processes are related to, and differentiate, OCD from anxiety
The recruitment of antigen-specific T lymphocytes to the intestinal mucosa is central to the development of an effective mucosal immune response, yet the mechanism by which this process occurs remains to be fully defined. Here we show that the CC chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) is selectively and functionally expressed on murine alpha(E)beta(7)(+) naive CD8alphabeta(+) lymphocytes and a subset of rece
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to systematically and critically review the extant literature on the design of global production and distribution networks to identify gaps in the literature and identify future research opportunities. The design aspects deal with strategic and structural decisions such as: opening or closing of manufacturing plants or distribution centres, selection of locat
In this paper we present and discuss some of the lessons learnt from the completed CoLabs.eu project within the so called R3L-initiative on European Networks of Learning Regions. In the project we made some concrete social experiments in order to “make the village a virtual campus”. We start this paper by making a general introduction to the research area and by giving the motivating background to
