It is a hallmark of natural language use that the way we talk about something reflects how it is represented in the mind of our conversation partner. This thesis studies the use and cognitive processing of referring expressions like one in comparison with other expression types in spoken Danish. The cognitive status of referents in other people’s minds can be understood in terms or referential g
Popular Abstract in Swedish På apoteket hittar vi den ena burken efter den andra med olika sorters smärtstillande medicin. Hur många av dessa är verkligen effektiva mot ihållande och svår smärta? Många receptbelagda läkemedel som lindrar smärta förändrar samtidigt vårt beteende, till exempel vår förmåga att fatta beslut. De kan dessutom också orsaka slöhet och onormal koordination. För att kunnaCurrent models of pain in conscious animals usually scores nocifensive responses. However, it is still unclear to what extent these responses are related to, for instance, the sensory discriminative or affective aspects of pain. This touches upon an intriguing question on how the nervous system processes nociceptive information in the conscious brain, a matter of which little is known. In order to
Several coastal areas in the south of Sweden are subjected to flooding and erosion. Such events depend on the magnitude and frequency of water levels and wave heights as well as their joint occurrence. Long time series of climate data from the south coast of Sweden were employed to investigate the statistical properties of extreme events in terms of the waves and water level changes. Through the c
Melangyna pavlovskyi (Violovitsh, 1956) has been found breeding in Denmark. The species is recorded from four localities on Zealand, and it is established on at least one of these. It is new to the European fauna. A redescription of M. pavlovskyi based on the external characters and an updated key to the NW European species of Melangyna are presented.
To study the causes of agricultural declines in south-west Sweden, a multi-proxy study including pollen analysis, bog surface wetness indicators and aeolian sediment influx reconstructions was carried out on the Store Mosse Bog, situated on the coastal plain of Halland. Patterns of agricultural changes during the past 6,000 years from this study were compared to one additional site on the coastal
The Lund Nuclear Microprobe (LNM) has been adapted to be used as a Single Ion Hit Facility (SIHF) for proton cell irradiation experiments at low dose. In order to test the capabilities of the system, Ni dot arrays and artificial cells have been fabricated with the photopolymer SU-8 and common lithographic techniques. The primary purpose of the Ni dot arrays was to determine the targeting accuracy
Investigating the meaning of conceptual terms is an important task for international legal scholars. Traditionally, the meaning of conceptual terms has been analyzed by reference to what those terms describe, namely a relationship between, on the one hand, the particular properties identifying a particular phenomenon or state of affairs as belonging to the extension of a concept, and on the other
When PGSE NMR is applied to water in microheterogeneous materials such as liquid crystals, foodstuffs, porous rocks, and biological tissues, the signal attenuation is often multi-exponential, indicating the presence of pores having a range of sizes or anisotropic domains having a spread of orientations. Here we modify the standard PGSE experiment by introducing low-amplitude harmonically modulated
Objective: To locate components and target proteins of relevance for the cAMP and cGMP signaling networks including cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterases (PDEs), salt-inducible kinases (SIKs), subunits of Na+, K+-ATPases, and aquaporins (AQPs) in the human saccule. Methods: The human saccule was dissected out during the removal of vestibular schwannoma via the translabyrinthine approach and immediately
This study explores the differences in oral narrative skills between school-age children with mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss (HL) and children who have typical hearing and language development. Narrative samples were collected following a picture-elicited storytelling task. Language samples were transcribed and coded for a number of measures, including narrative content, syntax, and g
The Amazon is one of the few continental regions where atmospheric aerosol particles and their effects on climate are not dominated by anthropogenic sources. During the wet season, the ambient conditions approach those of the pristine pre-industrial era. We show that the fine submicrometer particles accounting for most cloud condensation nuclei are predominantly composed of secondary organic mater
We report on the first storage of ion beams in the Double ElectroStatic Ion Ring ExpEriment, DESIREE, at Stockholm University. We have produced beams of atomic carbon anions and small carbon anion molecules (C-n(-), n = 1, 2, 3, 4) in a sputter ion source. The ion beams were accelerated to 10 keV kinetic energy and stored in an electrostatic ion storage ring enclosed in a vacuum chamber at 13 K. F
A set of three dedicated triggers designed to detect long-lived neutral particles decaying throughout the ATLAS detector to a pair of hadronic jets is described. The efficiencies of the triggers for selecting displaced decays as a function of the decay position are presented for simulated events. The effect of pile-up interactions on the trigger efficiencies and the dependence of the trigger rate
Two preferential attachment-type graph models which allow for dynamic addition/deletion of edges/vertices are considered. The focus of this paper is on the limiting expected degree of a fixed vertex. For both models a phase transition is seen to occur, i.e. if the probability with which edges are deleted is below a model-specific threshold value, the limiting expected degree is infinite, but if th
We present a theoretical study of two coupled diffusion processes through a membrane which is able to respond to the presence of the diffusing substances with a phase change. The case we consider is when the direct driving force for one of the processes vanishes, i.e. when the chemical potential of one of the components, or some other intensive variable, is kept equal in the two reservoirs surroun
