Vision is often considered to top the hierarchy of the senses, reflected for example in the high relative frequency of vision verbs, in comparison to other perception verbs. Results from some previous studies, however, have shown that there is greater cross-linguistic variation concerning perception language than previously thought, emphasising other sense modalities than vision. This thesis condu

Making Europe climate neutral by 2050 is the primary goal of the European Green Deal. This goal has given rise to sustainable finance and action plans for financing sustainable growth. Such commitment is ensured by the legal initiatives put forward by the Commission. The Non-Financial Reporting Directive introduced the requirements for some firms to produce a sustainability report based on disclos

Lasers and masers have numerous uses in today’s society. Improving our understanding of the underlying physics and its application is thus of great importance. In this paper, the physics of a three-level maser when treated as a heat-engine was investigated: certain levels were coupled to thermal-reservoirs, effectively allowing for pumping without an external bias. The thermodynamical treatment fo

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som avhandlar ämnesintegration och hur det kan tillämpas av lärare i musik och engelska. Den ger även en inblick i hur lärare jobbar med det centrala innehållet i musik, med specifikt fokus på den del som kallas musikens sammanhang och funktion. Fyra lärare med ämneskombinationen musik och engelska har intervjuats. Jag har även gjort litteraturstudier för att få en dj

Eae5 in rats was originally identified in two F-2 intercrosses, (DA x BN) and (E3 X DA), displaying linkage to CNS inflammation and disease severity in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), respectively. This region overlaps with an arthritis locus, Pia4, which was also identified in the (E3 X DA) cross. Two congenic strains, BN.DA-Eae5 and BN.DA-Eae5.R1, encompassing the previously des

The realisation that climate change will have serious effects on human life has activated the wider human rights community, which is now searching for an entrance into the global issue of our time. So far, most efforts by human rights practitioners have been concentrated on the overarching problem of global injustice, which relates to the right to development. However, in estimating the effects

Abstract Aid-tying is considered costly and ineffective to recipient countries and it is estimated that costs increases by as much as 30 per cent due to its practice. The Paris Declaration on enhanced aid effectiveness suggested an end to tied aid. The purpose of this paper is to give a review of the development of aid-tying in the European countries in the last thirty years. It will also look at

Small- and Medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) contributed a lot to the economic growth and promote employment in China. However, they were suffering from the credit discrimination, insecure property right protection, lack of the industry support policy and social services the same time. Based on this general background, in 2003, the Law of the PRC on promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (S

Static light scattering (SLS) combined with structure-based Monte Carlo (MC) simulations provide new insights into mechanisms behind anisotropic, attractive protein interactions. A nonmonotonic behavior of the osmotic second virial coefficient as a function of ionic strength is here shown to originate from a few charged amino acids forming an electrostatic attractive patch, highly directional and

The Thomson multitaper estimator has become successful for spectrum analysis in many application areas. From the aspect of efficient implementation, the so called Welch or WOSA- Weighted Overlap Segment Averaging, has advantages. In the Welch estimator, the same, time-shifted, window is applied to the data-sequence. In this submission, the aim is to find a Welch estimator structure which has a sim

The role of infection in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not been determined. We aimed to document the infectious burden and some aspects of antibacterial immunity in a large and prospective cohort study of RA patients in the early and late stages of the disease and in their relatives predisposed to RA.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste decennierna har det pågått en intensiv kamp om dramapedagogikens innehåll. Den har i betydande utsträckning förts på nordiskt plan. Dramaläraren och lärarutbildaren Viveka Rasmusson visar att denna debatt om dramaämnet och dess utveckling med fördel kan studeras i den nordiska tidskriften Drama. Under större delen av sjuttiotalet var Drama ett gemensamtBased on the Nordic dramapedagogic journal Drama during the period 1965-1995 the thesis analyses Nordic dramapedagogy and the dramatheoretical debate of the subject drama, which entered Nordic school curriculums in the sixties and the seventies. During the period a struggle was fought by predecessors from different aestethic and pedagogical directions concerning the definition of the subject. The

Vid den nordiska konferensen ”Teaching bioethics” illustrerade transplantationskirurgen Nils H. Persson och jag hur en dialogpedagogisk metod kan belysa en frågeställning på ett sätt som är svårt för en ensam lärare. Nils H. Persson diskuterade bland annat den stora skillnaden i frekvens av organdonationer mellan de nordiska länderna, mindre än 15 PMP (per million population), och Spanien, mer än
