The purpose of this contribution is to give an account of the similarities or dissimilarities of the speech rhythm of Swedish and Albanian. In this study, temporal features were focused on to ascertain rhythmic differences between the two languages. The interest for this study arose when a clear rhythmic variation was observed in the accented Swedish L2 speech produced by L1-speakers of Albanian,

Results of useful exergy accounting at the societal (i.e. national or global) level are potentially important for policy purposes, such as the development of energy or GHG emission scenarios, and the determination of the major energy inefficiencies (and thus improvement potentials) within a country. However, useful exergy societal studies commonly differ in their accounting methodology, which affe

This study aimed to compare long-term morbidity in patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS)treated with catheter-based intervention (group A) versus those undergoing heart surgery (group B) as initial intervention.Additionally, we conducted a systematic literature review on PA-IVS treatment. All neonates born in Sweden with PA-IVSbetween 2007 and 2019 were screened f

This introduction develops a theoretical framework for understanding authoritarian backsliding against the backdrop of existing historical and European socio-legal scholarship. It introduces a number of key distinctions to better understand socio-legal variance among autocratisation. Specifically, it highlights the distinction between authoritarian backsliding and complete breakdown of judicial in

Motoric eating difficulties affecting the ability to eat according to established norms may result in loss of autonomy, reduced food intake and decreased social interaction. Finger food meals may affect the ability to eat independently and were therefore compared to regular meals for older adults >65 years with major motoric eating difficulties. In this pilot study the screening instrument MEOF-II

The relationship between the evolutionary dynamics observed in contemporary populations (microevolution) and evolution on timescales of millions of years (macroevolution) has been a topic of considerable debate. Historically, this debate centers on inconsistencies between microevolutionary processes and macroevolutionary patterns. Here, we characterize a striking exception: emerging evidence indic

The Journal of Comparative Physiology A is the premier peer-reviewed scientific journal in comparative physiology, in particular sensory physiology, neurophysiology, and neuroethology. Founded in 1924 by Karl von Frisch and Alfred Kühn, it celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024. During these 100 years, many of the landmark achievements in these disciplines were published in this journal. To comm

Background: It is currently unknown whether ultra-processed foods (UPFs) consumption is associated with a higher incidence of multimorbidity. We examined the relationship of total and subgroup consumption of UPFs with the risk of multimorbidity defined as the co-occurrence of at least two chronic diseases in an individual among first cancer at any site, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I cellen styrs allt av biomolekylernas förmåga till igenkänning och växelverkan med varandra. Molekylernas speciella egenskaper bygger upp kroppens alla komplicerade funktioner, till exempel immunförsvar, celldelning och muskelarbete. Interaktionerna mellan biomolekylerna kan vara av olika karaktär; de beskrivs som starka eller svaga (affinitet), långsamma eller snabba Molecular recognition and interaction is fundamental for the function of biological systems. The properties of the interacting biomolecules dictate the type of forces involved and the strength and dynamics of the interaction. Many interactions are very strong whereas others exhibit weak affinity. Typically, weak interactions work in concert to trigger a biological response. The advantage with thi

Trade and World Power: A Time-Space Appropriation Assessment of an 18th Century Swedish-Chinese-Spanish(-American) Trade Exchange Was China rather than Europe the center of the early modern world system, as claimed by so-called new world historians such as Kenneth Pomeranz and Andre Gunder Frank? Can structural position within the hierarchy of the world system be revealed through assessment of ec

The primary aim of this study was to determine whether an increase in DLQI score can predict an eczema flare up and thus a need for treatment escalation/physician appointment. The secondary aim was to explore variations in DLQI over time.

The impact of plastic on the environment has been acknowledged on different levels, among others various NGOs around the world. These NGOs are known to aim for a reduction of plastic ending up in nature and more specifically the ocean. Plastic has been instrumental to the development of modern societies since the 1950s as the properties of the material enables it to be used for various purposes. T

The terror organization ISIS is using brutal sexual violence in their warfare, targeting women and children in Iraq and Syria. In 2015, more than 5000 women of the Yazidi minority were kidnapped and sold into sex slavery. The aim with this thesis is to answer the research question “How does ISIS benefit from using sexual violence?”, by using the three indicators “good economy”, “motivation to fi

As the industrial, commercial, and domestic prevalence of Internet of Things networks grows, so does the search for viable solutions to decrease their energy consumption. One common solution is using a low-power proxy that can control the power state of the devices within the network. To evaluate such solutions, either implementations can be made and measured for energy consumption, or energy mode

In this paper, we examine 1437 merger and acquisition (M&A) events that took place between 2015 and 2019 in China, comparing the short-term stock return performance of domestic and cross-border M&A. After that, we further compare the long-term market performance of domestic versus cross-border M&A transactions and investigate the impact of firm-specific and market-related factors on on

The protection afforded to registered trademarks and the protection afforded to freedom of expression can lead to tension between the two rights, this tension originates from the shift of trademarks from being an identifier to that of a communicator. This shift has resulted in a protection that goes beyond likelihood of confusion, trademark functions have expanded from that of origin to now encomp
