Associations are not random. Semantic memory is structured in a way that when hearing a category name a listener will automatically think of exemplars belonging to this category. The order in which exemplars come to mind and the frequency of retrieval of exemplars across individuals are measures of category-exemplar associative strength. Associative strength affects a broad range of psychological
In 2001, when the Taliban decided to destroy numerous cultural artefacts, including two colossal Buddha statues, that they considered incompatible with their faith, a large outcry was heard across the Western world. From the UNESCO to the British Museum, and from the Dalai Lama to countless head of governments, all were united in condemning this act of ’cultural terrorism’ that was said to prove n
This thesis deals primarily with the production of written texts by adults with reading and writing difficulties. Their writing is analysed from three different aspects: error analysis, non-error-oriented text analysis and analysis of the production process. These studies are based on data from on-line recordings of writing. The main question is how the written language production of adults with r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har varit långt ifrån självklart att kvinnor ska få ägna sig åt högre studier. För hundra år sedan kom t ex medicinska undersökningar som ”visade” att kvinnor som studerade riskerade att bli sterila. I denna bok undersöker Lina Carls hur kvinnors högre studier 1930-1970 beskrivits i samhällsdebatten och i de lokala diskussionerna vid universiteten i Lund och UppsalaThis dissertation’s overall purpose has been to achieve an increased understanding of why women’s integration into universities has progressed so slowly. Through the analysis of the debates on women in higher education I have wanted to see if the main figures reproduce or contradict the discourse. I have had the aim of not only to show how the genus discourse was possibly repeated but also how in
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund Streptococcus pyogenes, eller grupp A streptokocker, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna hos människan. De orsakar ofta relativt harmlösa och lättbehandlade ytliga infektioner i hals (halsfluss) och hud (svinkoppor) men kan också ge djupare och livshotande infektioner. Dessutom förekommer följdsjukdomar efter infektioner med grupp A streptoPathogenic bacteria often produce potent proteases capable of destroying host tissue thereby providing the bacteria with tools for spreading and nutrient access. This thesis describes how group A, C and G streptococci can acquire surface bound protease activity through an alternative mechanism, namely by binding and activation of the human protease precursor plasminogen. Group A streptococci of c
For the 2012 Pedagogical Inspiration Conference for teachers at the Faculties of Humanities and Theology at Lund University, my course team and I presented a paper entitled “Interdisciplinarity, group responsibility and conflict as resources for learning”. The paper discussed our experiences with The City: Boundary Transgressions and Visual Expressions (KOVR02), an interdisciplinary course given i
A new passive subharmonic mixer topology is presented and compared to a previously published passive topology. The comparison is conducted using simulations at 30 GHz with a 90-nm CMOS design kit. The advantage of the new passive subharmonic mixer is that it only requires a differential local oscillator (LO) signal, compared to the previously published mixer that requires a quadrature LO signal. T
Certain climatologically-adverse conditions in the basin of the Poopo Lake, located on the high plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano, have prevented the existence of a reliable agricultural system and the impact on the population of the area has been severe. These problems have been the main motivation in choosing this region for this particular study. However, many species of plants have somehow man
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ekologin hos lavdagsvärmaren (Dysauxes ancilla) studerades inom den enda svenska populationen vid Beijershamn på Öland. Populationen utgör en isolerad förekomst på nordgränsen av artens utbredningsområde, som huvudsakligen är mellan- och sydosteuropeiskt. Arten är rödlistad som akut hotad. Resultaten visar att lavdagsvärmaren för närvarande endast förekommer inom ett 4 The ecology of the moth Dysauxes ancilla was studied in the only Swedish breeding area at Beijershamn, situated on the Baltic island of Öland. The population is a northern outpost, separated from the species´ continous distribution area in middle- and southeast Europe. There is a general opinion that there has been a reduction of the species distribution during the last decades, but no studies hav
Popular Abstract in Swedish I centrum för avhandlingen står det fotografiska porträttet. Min utgångspunkt har varit att kombinera olika teorier om kön med intresset för fotografi. Syftet har varit att visa hur fotografiska porträtt under perioden 1850-1910 i olika sociala och kulturella relationer medverkade till att formulera skilda bilder av vad en kvinna var. För att kunna göra det jämför jag f"Visiting Reality: Photography and Gender at the End of the Nineteenth Century" In the centre of the dissertation stands the photographic portrait. My point of departure has been to combine different theories of gender with an interest in photography. The aim has been to show how, during the period of 1850 to 1910, photographic portraits in different social and cultural relations contributed to f
The Marieberg porcelain factory, situated on the island of Kungsholmen in Stockholm, existed between 1758 and 1788. The aim of this study has been to investigate the manufacture of tiled stoves at Marieberg. The first question I wanted to answer was: how many were actually produced? The few documents from the period that have survived show that Marieberg must have had continuous production of tile
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The study was designed to investigate the effect of different measuring methodologies on the estimation of P wave duration. The recording length required to ensure reproducibility in unfiltered, signal-averaged P wave analysis was also investigated. An algorithm for automated classification was designed and its reproducibility of manual P wave morphology classification invest
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien handlar om tio elever i behov av särskilt stöd. Den förhärskande tanken inom det svenska utbildningsväsendet är att elever med funktionshinder ska integreras i den vanliga skolan. Undantag får emellertid göras och eleverna kan t.ex. få sin skolgång på ett skoldaghem. Det främsta syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka hur sju elever med skolgång på skolThis thesis concerns ten pupils in need of special support. The overriding principle governing the Swedish educational system today is that pupils with functional difficulties should be integrated into ordinary schools, but exceptions may be made and the pupils can attend a special day-school. The primary aim of the present thesis is to study the progress of seven students, attending special day-s
Inflammatory pseudotumors of the urinary bladder are rare, benign, nonepithelial tumors. Fewer than 30 have been reported, and no data are available on their karyotypic characteristics and/or the molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis. We performed short-term culturing and cytogenetic analysis of an inflammatory pseudotumor of the bladder, finding a der(20)t(12;20)(q13similar toq15;q13) as the only
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att analysera relationen och interaktionen mellan genus och nation i en svensk kontext under 1900-talets första hälft. När kvinnor mobiliseras nationellt inom olika typer av nationalism är det oftast moderskapet som åberopas. Detta är en av utgångspunkterna i avhandlingen. Föreställningar om ett nationellt moderskap återfinns också i flera olika sThe aim of this thesis is to analyse the relationship and interaction between gender and nation in a Swedish context, during the first half of the twentieth century. When women become mobilised on a nationwide basis within different types of nationalism, it is often motherhood that is invoked. This is just one point of departure in my dissertation. Perceptions of a national motherhood are also fou
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgångspunkt tas från den senmesolitiska boplatsen vid Motala ström, Motala stad, Östergötland, Sverige. Problematiken som diskuteras i texten utgår från frågeställningarna vad som formade de materiella uttrycken under en 500-årig tidsperiod, 5500-5000 f.Kr, dokumenterade genom arkeologiska undersökningar. Texten i avhandlingen är i analysen strukturerad i This dissertation focuses on the Strandvägen site located in the town of Motala, Östergötland, Sweden. The problem concerns what shaped the material expressions on the site during 5500?5000 B.C. For reasons of text structure the space outside the settlement site (the home) is divided into the world, the district, and the neighbourhood. These spatial concepts are finally brought together in the syn
A polyion-surfactant ion complex salt, cat-HECDS, has been synthesised, consisting of cationic hydroxyethyl cellulose w th dodecylsulfate counterions. Ternary phase diagrams have been established for aqueous mixtures of cat-HECDS with either the conventional surfactant NaDS or the polyelectrolyte cat-HECCl. Such mixtures represent the simplest possible aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polyme
Background: There are at least three broad conceptual models for the impact of the social environment on adult disease: the critical period, social mobility, and cumulative life course models. Several studies have shown an association between each of these models and mortality. However, few studies have investigated the importance of the different models within the same setting and none has been p
