The variations in tropospheric transport pathways over a 20 year period, 1990-2009, are studied at six locations in Europe. Three Atlantic (Lisbon, Mace Head, and Cabauw) and three Mediterranean sites (Malaga and Elche in the western part and Lecce in the central Mediterranean) are considered. The work is based on the identification of flow types at each location by robust cluster analysis of the

This short essay on how the book is used in Dutch paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries stresses the ambiguities of its overt message and latent symbolism, more varied than mere erudition or inevitable mortality.

Recent research has brought into focus the function of switching between verb forms and types of clauses, here labelled ‘gram switching’, as a device for marking non-main clause linking in various types of Arabic and in Biblical Hebrew (Persson forthcoming a; Isaksson, Kammensjö, and Persson 2009; Isaksson 2011, 2013). The study presented here shows that a switch, either in verb form/morphology or

In order to adapt to new conditions that increasing air traffic volumes bring forward, the Swedish Air Navigation Services (ANS) is going through a process of change. In order to meet the new conditions it will be necessary to be more efficient in the work of handling the air traffic. New conditions bring forward new demands, not only on technology and methods used, but also on organizational stru

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om naturföreställningar i resereklam och bland re-senärer. Syftet var att analysera hur natur framställs i reklambilder för resor, vad reklamens framställning av natur har för betydelse för vad resenärer vill uppleva och upplever i samband med sin resa samt med vilka argument och bilder resenären själv väljer att återskapa upplevelserna av sin resa It is commonly believed that we live in a culture that is increasingly permeated by visual images. One category of images that we encounter everyday in different media, and that constitutes a large and growing part of media content, is advertisements. Advertisements also have a specific purpose and the images represent, make meaning of, and convey sentiments about phenomena. In this dissertation,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi kan inte avslöja innehållet i våra tankar direkt, så hur kan vi närma oss de underliggande kognitiva processerna? Om vi vill lära oss mer om vad som försiggår i vår tankevärld, måste vi göra det indirekt, med hjälp av tankarnas yttre manifestationer. Det finns olika metoder som man kan ta till sin hjälp. I min avhandling kopplar jag ihop två ämnesområden, lingvistik In this thesis, I connect two disciplines, linguistics and vision research, and combine two methods, spoken language protocols and eye movement protocols, in order to cast light on the underlying cognitive processes. In a series of studies, I investigate the processual aspects of picture viewing and picture description. On the one hand, eye movements reflect human thought processes. It is easy to

The aim of the study was to assess hypertensive patients' self-care agency and any correlation with the patient's lifestyle changes and the nurse's degree of patient centeredness after counseling training.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett biologiskt samhälle definieras av de arter som lever och interagerar på en plats. Platsen kan vara en sjö, en ö eller ett skogsparti. Om det dessutom finns flera platser som arter sprider sig mellan brukar man tala om ett metasamhälle. Idag vet man att både ekologiska och evolutionära processer påverkar metasamhällens uppbyggnad, stabilitet och funktionalitet. DenThis thesis aims to elucidate the link between abiotic and biotic effects and biogeographical contingencies, eco-evolutionary assembly processes, and community structure in a spatially explicit metacommunity framework. To this end, we used structure analysis of naturally sampled and experimentally manipulated marine bacterial communities and mathematical eco-evolutionary modeling and simulations o

In the present review, we highlight the possible “extra-immunological” effects of maternal immunoglobulins (Ig) transferred to the blood circulation of offspring, either via the placenta before birth or via the colostrum/milk across the gut after birth in different mammalian species. Using the newborn pig as a model, since they are naturally born agammaglobulinemic, intravenously (i.v.) infused pu

I denna uppsats har jag genom att använda en rättsdogmatisk metod försökt uppnå uppsatsens syfte: Att undersöka varför den svenska lagstiftaren inte infört ett rekvisit om bristande samtycke i den svenska lagstiftningen. Syftet är också at utreda förhållandet mellan den så kallade Bulgariendomen och den nuvarande svenska våldtäktslagstiftningen. Från 1864 års strafflag till idag har våldtäktsbrottIn this thesis I have used the legal dogmatic method to achieve the purpose of the thesis: To examine why the Swedish legislation has not adopted a rape legislation based on consent. The purpose is also to examine the relationship between the Bulgarian case and Swedish rape legislation. Since the year of 1864 rape legislation has been expanded to cover a greater scope of application. Rape within m

Am I selfish? - Toxin edition Many bacteria encode for toxin-antitoxin (TA) pairs. The toxin is a stable protein that targets essential bacterial components. The antitoxin is an easily-degraded antidote that protects cells from poisoning themselves. If cells lose the TA genes, they cannot produce more of either toxin or antitoxin. The unstable antitoxin is degraded fast, and the stable toxin is n

Unlocking the hidden connection: How asthma gets into your head Have you ever wondered if asthma, a common lung condition, could have effects beyond just your breathing? Recent scientific studies are revealing a fascinating connection between asthma and the brain, bringing to light an unexpected link that has puzzled researchers for years. Asthma is an allergic disease characterized by lung inf

The objective of this study was to investigate what are the most common types of digital violence that social workers come across and how they assess their seriousness. Our research questions were: 1/ What types of digital violence exist and how common are they? 2/ How do social workers assess the severity of the types of violence? 3/ Does the ranking and seriousness assessment differ between

The Bumbling Bumblebee, they see more than you think! Bumblebees are probably one of the most universally loved insects in the animal kingdom. They don’t irritate you or sting you unlike their relatives, instead they do their own thing while performing their daily tasks of collecting pollen and nectar for the colony. We wanted to learn more about how the bumblebee view the world and how the envir
