When referring to non-present entities, speakers and signers can select from a range of different strategies to create expressions that range from extremely concise to highly elaborate. This design of referring expressions is based partly on the availability of contextual information that can aid addressee understanding. In the small signing community of Providence Island, signers' heavy reliance
This paper aims to reveal how urban ‘development-induced displacement’ (Koenig, 2015; Neef and Singer, 2015) shapes and perpetuates modalities of spatial violence in the context of rapidly urbanising Southeast Asia. While Southeast Asian postcolonial scholars have explored some manifestations of spatial violence such as displacement, a comprehensive regional analysis is still lacking, especially i
Et segment af danske muslimer med rødder i lande, der anvender islamisk lov, anser den islamiske vielse (nikah) og den borgerlige vielse for at være to separate vielser, der kræver to separate skilsmisser. I den forbindelse anses Familieretshusets domsmyndighed for utilstrækkelig i forhold til at opløse nikahen, eftersom en nikah-opløsning ifølge nogle muslimer kun kan foretages af en islamisk dom
This consensus statement is the product of the Second International Think Tank on Athlete Mental Health, held on the initiative of the International Society of Sport Psychology. The purposes of the Think Tank were to engage international sport psychology societies and organisations in a discussion about athlete mental health as embedded in an Olympic/Paralympic cycle, and to develop practical reco
Denna bok handlar om ett förändringsprojekt vid Lunds universitet som syftade till att förkorta studietiderna utan att kandidat- och magisteruppsatsernas vetenskapliga kvalitet påverkades negativt. Det omedelbara resultatet blev att andelen uppsatser som blev färdiga inom föreskriven tidsram ökade från under 10 % till över 50 % samtidigt som deras vetenskapliga kvalitet inte försämrades. I boken b
This thesis is based upon four original papers describing the characterisation of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) tumours and cell lines in comparison with different populations of normal B cells. Gene expression profiling, which were used in the studies, has during recent years developed as an important tool in characterisation of different types of malignancies. In this thesis, the technique is used
This doctoral thesis has its theoretical origin in the notion that the information flow between management teams, financial analysts and investors is especially exposed to information asymmetry when knowledge-intense companies are concerned. Information asymmetry may aggravate agency problems and risk causing an impairment of the efficient allocation of capital on the stock market. Therefore, the
The aim of this work was to investigate and quantify the effects of system noise, nodule location, anatomical noise and anatomical background on the detection of lung nodules in different regions of the chest x-ray. Simulated lung nodules of diameter 10 mm but with varying detail contrast were randomly positioned in four different kinds of images: 1) clinical images collected with a 200 speed CR s
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a very efficient treatment for severe depression. However, cognitive side effects have raised concern to whether ECT can cause cellular damage in vulnerable brain regions. A few recent animal studies have reported limited hippocampal cell loss, while a number of other studies have failed to find any signs of cellular damage and some even report that electroconvul
What happens to law when social institutions which ground its normativity become unstable and transitory? How can regulation make sense when fleetingness and fluidity become the enduring property of social structures? The social consequences of globalisation and the rise of the network society have heightened and expanded human agency’s powers of reflexivity vis-à-vis social structures. They have
Denna artikel utgör den andra delen av två uppsatser som behandlar det patenträttsliga kravet att en patentsökt teknologi måste vara praktiskt användbar. Fokus ligger på gen- och proteinrelaterade uppfinningar. En tredje uppsats kommer att undersöka kravet på en tillräcklig beskrivning av dessa teknologier. Medan den första delen analyserade den US-amerikanska tolkningen av det särskilda ”utility”
Ibland kan man som lärare undra om man lever som man lär. En sak är i alla fall säker, vi lär som vi lever! Vårt nya stressade levnadssätt påverkar givetvis vårt sätt att lära. Under en kort tidsrymd har tre tekniska produkter påverkat lärandet mer än vad läroplaner eller vetenskapliga pedagogiska genombrott någonsin gjort - datorn, internet och mobiltelefonen. Bodil myntar att vi idag lever på
Det finns goda skäl till att engagera studenterna i kamratbedömning vid både formativ och summativ examination. Vi har under kursen Molekylär Cellbiologi för Ekosystemvetare vid LTH undersökt studenternas förmåga att bedöma muntliga projektredovisningar och jämfört den med lärarnas. Under kursen genomförde studenterna ett litteraturprojekt där en muntlig gruppredovisning med efterföljande kamratdi
