We drink with our eyes first: The web of sensory perceptions, aesthetic experiences and mixed imagery in wine reviews

This chapter analyzes the language resources that writers have at their disposal to describe their experience of the web of sensory perceptions that are evoked in the wine tasting practice. The task of the writer is to provide a mental understanding of the sensations as well as a prehension of the experiences. We show that this involves the weaving together of the senses, starting with the sight o

Safety as perceived by wheelchair-seated passengers in special transportation services

The aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of, and to help form a more complete picture of, the perceived safety of wheelchair-seated passengers using special transportation services (STS). A questionnaire was sent out and completed by 801 respondents in five Swedish regions. Additional information was acquired by means of 15 subsequent in-depth interviews. It was found that 5% repor

”Det är ett sätt att leva från den dag du föds”: Om andlighet och reservatsliv hos kanadensiska mi’kmaq

Jag är andlig – inte religiös – har idag blivit ett uttryck för den moderna människan att relatera sig till de icke-empiriska krafterna. Budskapet är att andlighet förenar mänskligheten och att religion med dogmer och formella ritualer skiljer människor åt. Men hur generell är denna andlighet som här framträder? För att diskutera frågan om en universell andlighet vill jag starta i en annan kontext

The Relationship Between Cardiac Reactivity in the Laboratory and in Real Life

Objective: An excessive cardiovascular response to acute stress is a probable risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) disease. Such reactivity is usually assessed from the CV response to laboratory stressors. However, if it is a risk factor, correlated responses must occur in real life. Design: In the present study, we investigated the relationship between the heart rate (HR) response to five laborato

Lithics in the Scandinavian Late Bronze Age. Sociotechnical change and Persistence

During south Scandinavian Late Bronze Age, c. 900-500 BC, a new tool was invented. It consisted of a wooden shaft and a knife blade made out of flint. One singel of this tool still exists today. It was found in a Danish bog in late 19th century. But there are many of the knife blades of flint; in museum collections or in flint assemblages from archaeological excavations. Archaeologists call them l

Phylogenetic characterization of microbial mats and isolation of Thermus spp. and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from Icelandic hot springs

Until recently, the only way to describe microbial communities was by cultivation. This is a major obstacle because typically only a small fraction of the microbes can be cultivated by standard techniques. However, the use of rRNA and molecular phylogenetic techniques has allowed us to bypass this limitation. In this thesis, both of these approaches were used to describe the bacterial diversity o

Gradient expansion of the exchange energy from second-order density response theory

The basic idea behind the present work is that an atom is not a linear perturbation of the electron gas. We have thus analyzed the exchange energy of the inhomogeneous electron gas to third order in the deviation from a constant density. We give the symmetry properties obeyed by the corresponding second-order response function Lx, and demonstrate how Lx gives rise to gradient corrections to the ex

Physical and biological dispersal barriers in invasive, bloom-forming microalgae

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länge trodde man att mikroorganismer spreds obehindrat på grund av deras ringa storlek och höga celltäthet. Eftersom de är väldigt små kan de lätt transporteras i vattendroppar med hjälp av vinden eller genom att fästa vid andra organismer så som fåglar och insekter. Endast miljöförhållanden som gynnade särskilda mikrober troddes påverka arters spridning och organismsamFor a long time microorganisms were assumed to have unlimited dispersal due to their small size and high cell numbers. Most microbial species can be transported by water currents, in water droplets by wind and attached to other organisms. Environmental conditions alone were supposed to affect the distribution of species and the community composition. Therefore, microorganisms were assumed to consi

Multimodal transportation in Eastern Europe: a Ukrainian legislative perspective

Multimodal transportation in the European continent is an integral part of cross border trade and in particular the use of sea and river carriers. The phenomenon of short sea shipping has reached a level of importance of which all European states must take cognisance. One of the policies associated with this issue is the development of the motorways of the sea. While Ukraine is not yet a part of t

Pedagogik för rehabilitering

Du får lära dig att leva med värken, smärtan och tröttheten, är det besked som många långtidssjukskrivna får. Sällan får de reda på hur det ska gå till. Rehabilitering handlar om hur en människa lär sig nya sätt att tänka, känna och bete sig med sikte på förbättrad funktion och hälsa. Företrädare för alla discipliner hjälper människor med funktionshinder att bli mindre handikappade och mer arbetsf

Radioiodine Therapy of Hyperthyroidism - Simplified patient-specific absorbed dose planning

Popular Abstract in Swedish Radiojodbehandling av sköldkörteln är den vanligaste radiofarmakaterapin. För att beräkna aktiviteten 131I som krävs för att ge en viss stråldos till sköldkörteln behöver sköldkörtelns massa och den individuella biokinetiken bestämmas. Biokinetiken består vanligtvis av det individuella upptaget av jodid och den biologiska halveringstiden av jod i sköldkörteln. Den bioloRadioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism is the most frequently performed radiopharmaceutical therapy. To calculate the activity of 131-I to be administered for giving a certain absorbed dose to the thyroid, the mass of the thyroid and the individual biokinetic data, normally in the form of uptake and biologic half-time, have to be determined. The biologic half-time is estimated from several uptake
