A group of 51 cases with anorexia nervosa (including a total population of cases from one birth cohort) was compared with a sex-, age- and school-matched group of 51 cases on various measures of family demography and interactions. There was no support for the notion of a "typical anorexia nervosa family." However, there were more major problems in the anorexia group and there was also a higher pre
Shape characteristics of rising-falling accentual F0 peaks of Stockholm Swedish Accent I words in narrow focus are studied in a corpus of 287 read sentences. The corpus includes statements and three types of polar questions. Results reveal a clear effect of sentence mode on the shape of the accentual rises: Statements are predominantly characterized by convex rises, questions by concave rises.
Popular AbstractI takt med att svenska företag har ökat sina utlandssatsningar med bland annat direktinvesteringar på utländska marknader har också efterfrågan av internationell rörlighet bland den svenska kvalificerade arbetskraften ökat. En del av detta behov rör tidsbegränsade utlandsposteringar av svensk arbetskraft på så kallade ’expats-kontrakt’. Ofta utgår samhällsdebatten från en uppfattniAs Swedish companies have increased their commitments abroad, the demand for internationally mobile skilled Swedish labour has increased. Some of this demand concerns temporary positions on so called ’expats-contracts’. Often the discussion on this issue originates from a discourse that claims this type of labour force to be unanimously positive towards moving abroad to work. International tempora
Soil salinity and solute movements through the soil are considered the most important challenge facing agriculture in Arid and Semiarid regions (e.g., Egypt). The objective of the present study is to investigate soil salinity problems and different strategies to control or reduce them, and increase crop yield at a national project called the El-Salam Canal service area in north-eastern Egypt.

A new approach to the numerical solution of optimal control problems with state-variable inequality constraints is presented. It is shown that the concept of constraining hyperplanes may be used to approximate the original problem with a problem where the constraints are of a mixed state-control variable type. The efficiency and the accuracy of the combination of constraining hyperplanes and a sec
Within the field of syntactic typology, which seeks to describe and classify the range of grammatical phenomena extant in the world’s languages, one of the most important problems is whether or not a given language is ergative. Within a generative approach, a further problem is accounting for the existence of ergative languages by the definition of what may be termed an ‘ergativity parameter’. Thi
This paper investigates the on-chip implementation of a frequency locked loop (FLL) over a VCO that decreases the phase noise and linearizes the transfer function. Implementation of the FLL inside a PLL is also investigated and a possible application is highlighted. Design of a special kind of low noise frequency detector without a reference frequency (frequency-to-voltage converter), which is the
