According to Jon Elster, mechanisms are frequently occurring and easily recognizable causal patterns that are triggered under generally unknown conditions or with indeterminate consequences. In the absence of laws, moreover, mechanisms provide explanations. In this paper I argue that Elster’s view has difficulties with progressing knowledge. Normally, filling in the causal picture without revising

States of the art performed in technology of haptic interfaces, action-vision and action - audition cooperation in mediated computerized systems, showed that, despite the huge development and boiling in such domains, we are confronted now to some critical

Experiences early in life strongly shape values, attitudes and behaviour and serve as reference points ever after. Those who grew up in a society where resources are scarce may behave differently in an affluent society than those who got used to affluence even as children. This hypothesis was tested among 600 households in a major Swedish city who responded to questions about energy related behavi

Introduktion: Svår akut pankreatit (SAP) är ännu behäftad med hög morbiditet och mortalitet. Initial vätskeresuscitering är av stort värde; nivån liksom nutritionsform och kaloritillförsel är oklar. Retrospektivt studerades korrelation vätsketillförsel och nutrition mot utfall vid SAP. Metod: 179 patienter med SAP, definierat som förekomst av pankreasnekros, CRP > 150, lång vårdtid eller mortalit

This paper deals with a number of aspects of intonation in spontaneous dialogues in a language technology perspective. The key topics to be addressed are: I) the analysis of global intonation and its interaction with textual structure, II) the implementation of global and textual aspects of discourse intonation in an analysis-by-synthesis environment. We present models for the analyses of intonati

In the Seve Nappe Complex of the Swedish Caledonides, coronitic diabases pass into eclogites; sometimes the transition occurs within one and the same boudin. Calculated pressure-temperature conditions for the eclogite facies stage are 20-27 kbar and 650-750°. Protolith corona-dolerite dykes share the T-MORB signature with the rift-dolerites of the Sarek and Särv Nappes, indicating similar origin.

In this paper some general characteristics of a contextual understanding of educational phenomena is outlined. The outline is suggested against the background of previous phenomenographic research and a recent interdisciplinary phenomenographic project on university physics students’ use of language in expressing their understanding of cases of physical motion. The theoretical approach suggested i
