The DNA sequencing of a series of living organisms has elucidated many biological problems. But the internal atomic and electronic evolution of DNA remains to be mapped in detail. RNA and DNA now appear to be the prime determinants of biological evolution leading to the sudden appearance of novel organism structures and functions that emerge “ready made” as a surprise to the organism. This has bee

Five small dune fields were investigated in central Sweden in the field and by using LiDAR-based remote sensing. The chronology of the dunes was determined using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. Most of the OSL ages indicate dune formation close to the time of deglaciation in this area of Sweden (11-10 cal. ka BP) and later sand drift events appear to have been uncommon, suggesting

The aim of this study was to examine the level of physical activity in adults with cerebral palsy (CP) and to analyse its relationship with physical activity as adolescents, pain, and gross motor function. A prospective cohort study was performed using data from the Swedish National CP Registry (CPUP) for all 129 individuals born in 1991-1993 living in Skåne and Blekinge who reported to CPUP at 14

In year 2017 the WWN+ project "Silent Timber Build" is finishing. The project focused on studying timber structures with regard to their sound insulation characteristics, both airborne sound insulation and impact sound insulation. The aim is to develop calculation models (and / or to provide input to standardized models) for various timber structures available in Europe but also to facilitate futu

This paper discusses occurrences of Italian sapere ‘know’ in mental state attributions (sa). Following the proposal of Tsohatzidis (2012) for ‘knows’, the hypothesis put forward is that sa, when used in mental state attributions, is lexically ambiguous between a factive and a non-factive sense: when sa is used in its factive sense, a sentence such as X sa che p ‘X sa that p’ entails p, whereas, wh

English (French summary below)Is it still possible to speak of authority other than in negative terms? In particular, to speak of exercising authority in religious institutions? I believe so. It is essential to exercise authority, also in religious institutions. But this exercise is not a simple matter. I propose to reflect on the question from four perspectives. The first is inspired by Martin Lu

Yeast volatiles attract insects, which apparently is of mutual benefit, for both yeasts and insects. However, it is unknown whether biosynthesis of metabolites that attract insects is a basic and general trait, or if it is specific for yeasts that live in close association with insects. Our goal was to study chemical insect attractants produced by yeasts that span more than 250 million years of ev

The extant research on organizational control builds on the assumption of vertical control – managers are thought to develop orders, rules and norms to control the operating core. Yet it is claimed that work becomes increasingly “knowledge intensive” and that organizations rely heavily for their productivity on the knowledge and creativity of their work force. In this type of “knowledge work,” the
