Dynamic descriptions of static spatial situations, such as the road goes through the forest have attracted a lot of attention across different semantic theories. Analyses in terms of fictive motion and subjective motion have proposed that such expressions are strongly motivated by universal cognitive and conceptual factors. I present theoretical arguments for the conflation of several different mo

The middle Darriwilian delta C-13 excursion (MDICE), one of the least known of the Ordovician delta C-13 excursions, has previously been recorded only from the Middle Ordovician of Baltoscandia. Analysis of many recently collected limestone samples from the Guniutan Formation at two Yangtze Platform localities show elevated delta C-13 values in the same biostratigraphic interval (Microzarkodina oz

The current economic crisis has so far mostly triggered short-term responses like corporate bailouts and rescue packages for ailing industries. This indicates that the crisis has been constructed as an event, a "great recession", primarily caused by governance failures in the financial sector. However, it may also be interpreted as a more fundamental crisis of the economic growth model as such, ca

IMPORTANCE Upper gastrointestinal bleeding is common after myocardial infarction. OBJECTIVE To determine whether routine screening for Helicobacter pylori infection during hospitalization for myocardial infarction reduces bleeding events and improves clinical outcomes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A nationwide, open-label, 2-period, 2-sequence, cluster randomized, crossover clinical trial usi

A necessary foundation for realizing circularity in the building sector is a good understanding of our existing building stock. This includes the design approaches and building codes used at the time of construction. The provisions in building codes have evolved from a heuristically adjusted permissible stress method to a semi-probabilistic safety format using partial safety factors. In addition,

In this article, we argue for the value of student podcasts for fostering dialogue around questions of poetry and sustainable futures in an English as a foreign language context. Our research draws on our experiences of inviting student teachers to create their own podcasts on a recently published poem about nature or the Anthropocene, or both, in our first-year literature course for those studyin

BackgroundHeart failure (HF) and arterial hypertension (AH) are strongly associated with obesity, with a linear relationship to increasing body mass index (BMI). However, some individuals with obesity do not exhibit signs of HF or AH.PurposeThis study aimed to compare, for the first time in a large population-based cohort, individuals with obesity who have normal left ventricular function and remo

For victims of corporate harm, accessing justice in the global landscape is fraught with challenges and limitations – but also contestation and conflict. This paper focuses on these issues by directing attention to the National Contact Points (NCPs), a nonjudicial grievance mechanism in this landscape. It explores the puzzle of why complainants, who portray the NCP as a mechanism that is unlikely

Previous research has established that organizations as well as TMTs tend to be homogeneous. It has, however, suggested three different explanations by which such homosocial reproduction occurs, i.e. existing individuals tending to reproduce their own characteristics in the selection decisions they make. One explanation regards the organization level, arguing that persons similar to the organizati
