The purpose of the Gramte program is to meet the needs of university students who feel that they are not mastering the grammatical terminology needed for studying linguistics or foreign languages. In all learning contexts it is important to have the adequate background knowledge. This is even more crucial when it concerns the basic concepts and terminology which will be used by the teachers during

Popular Abstract in English These days we hear a lot about sustainability and most of us try to live in a more sustainable way. We use less water and energy, we sort our household waste and we prefer to consume products that are produced with less negative human impact. However, when it comes to our own excreta we definitely think of it as waste. And we are glad enough that wastewater treatment syEutrophication or the nutrient enrichment of water bodies, typically by nitrogen and phosphorus has adversely affected the aquatic life and the quality of water. Governments have been forced to take actions in order to reduce the release of these nutrients into the environment. To date the main global effort has been to remove such nutrients at source. However, with an increase in awareness of the

Industry and society want to recruit students who can work in team-based projects. Thus the task for educators in higher education is to prepare and provide such learning environments. However, assessment is one major challenge associated with enacting these learning environments. The literature advocates active team learning but then supports individual assessment modes. The purpose of this paper

The time development of neck formation in ductile elastic-plastic bars is analyzed numerically in order to obtain a qualitative description of the features of dynamic neck localization under impact conditions. The full time history is visualized using contour plots of the time development of a strain rate parameter. Both axisymmetric and planar bars are studied. Several types of neck development a

Phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate, [PtdIns(4,5)P2], is a signalling lipid which is involved in many important processes in animal cells such as cytoskeleton organization, intracellular vesicular trafficking, secretion, cell motility, regulation of ion channels, and nuclear signalling pathways. In contrast to the animal field, much less is known about the roles of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and its synthesi

Analysis of the early films of Peter Weiss (1916 - 1982).

This thesis presents an object-oriented technique for rewriting abstract syntax trees in order to simplify compilation. The technique, Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars (ReRAGs), is completely declarative and supports both rewrites and computations by means of attributes. We have implemented ReRAGs in our aspect-oriented compiler compiler tool JastAdd II. We present the ReRAG formalism, its

A small co-insurance rate, corresponding to say 5 percent of the patient's annual taxable income, would reduce the the demand for health care substantially and allow tax reductions. Under certain conditions the latter would be so large that the net effect would be increase income for everyone concerned. Hence, do we have a case for patient charges? - Yes, but only under certain conditions.

Sedan flera år tillbaka har bedömning av pedagogiska meriter och pedagogisk skicklighet uppmärksammats alltmer inom högskolesektorn, i synnerhet i samband med anställning och befordran (se Ryegård m.fl., 2010, för aktuell svensk översikt). Högskoleförordningen kräver sedan 2002 högskolepedagogisk utbildning för behörighet att anställas som adjunkt eller lektor; liksom att lika omsorg ägnas prövnin

Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) is a non-invasive and rapid optical method used in many medical diagnosis applications [1], measuring the characteristic reflectance spectrum produced as light passes through tissue. A drawback of this approach is that a pressure is created on the surface of the tissue affecting the optical properties of the studied tissue as well as the light-coupling into t
