Recent literature on L2 vocabulary testing points to a move away from discrete vocabulary testing towards more embedded and integrative approaches. This paper investigates if the way vocabulary is currently tested at English departments at Swedish universities follows this trend. The survey shows that a great majority of universities use discrete and selective vocabulary tests and that the multipl

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other neurotrophins are believed to play an important role in affective disorders. In this study we investigated plasma-BDNF response during an incremental exercise test in 18 patients suffering from moderate major depressive disorder (MDD) and 18 controls. The patients were not treated with antidepressants or neuroleptics. Possible associations between

The intestinal epithelium and underlying lamina propria contains large numbers of T cells that play an important role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and defense against intestinal pathogens. Recent years have seen several significant advances in our understanding of the mechanisms regulating T-cell localization to the intestinal mucosa. For instance, we now know that the small intestine 'im

Clin Microbiol Infect ABSTRACT: Aerococcus urinae is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause invasive infection, including infectious endocarditis (IE), mainly in older men. A. urinae is often misclassified in routine diagnostic laboratories. Through searches in the laboratory databases we identify 16 isolates of A. urinae causing bacteraemia during a 6-year period in southern Sweden, indicating

InvitedPaper presented at conference/seminar on difficult fieldwork, discusses compromises that ethnographers will have to make as their fieldwork becomes more fragmented and their study objects more suspicious, especially when studying elites; the possibility of any solidarity or empathy with the people we study may be declining.

I skönlitterär prosa förekommer det strängt taget enbart tre olika temporala texttyper: narration (berättande text, relation), citat (alltså dialog) och berättarens nutid (dvs. passager där en berättare talar i egen sak), och det finns bara två finita tempus att välja emellan: presens och preteritum. Det kan tyckas som om de skönlitterära författarna har ett snävt spelrum att operera inom. Men det
