We describe the main features and preliminary evaluation of Positive Technology, a free mobile platform for the self-management of psychological stress (http://positiveapp.info/). The mobile platform features three main components: (i) guided relaxation, which provides the user with the opportunity of browsing a gallery of relaxation music and video-narrative resources for reducing stress; (ii) 3D
En sammanfattning av resultat från projektets arbete för en bred allmänintresserad publik. Tidskriften Forma Urbis är en italiensk variant av populärvetenskap av typ Populär Arkeologi. Nummer 22 2017 var ett temanummer om arkeologisk forskning som bedrivs vid Svenska institutet i Rom.
When it comes to religion, lack of conclusive evidence leads many reflective thinkers to embrace agnosticism. However, pure agnosticism does not necessarily have to be the final word; there are other attitudes one might reasonably adopt in a situation of epistemic uncertainty. This article concentrates on J. L. Schellenberg's proposal that non-doxastic propositional faith is available even when be
Two discourses have more than others dominated foreign apprehension of Sweden in the post-war period: the development of the Swedish model welfare state and the films of Ingmar Bergman. This research project is aimed at studying how these two discourses relate to each other, as expressed by the films of Bergman themselves, the huge corpus of scholarship surrounding them, and the reception, domesti
Is there a political theory in Mary Wollstonecraft’s writings? The question is relevant since Wollstonecraft’s main preoccupation was moral rather than political: the duty of every thinking person to strive to make themselves as good as they can be. This is a complex duty, involving independent thought, acting on principles of reason, and making oneself useful to others. The challenge involved in
In this paper we argue for an analysis of Object Shift in Mainland Scandinavian in which the shifted word order is the result of a prosodic repair to enable weak pronoun incorporation. We observe that varieties with optional OS also have a tone accent contrast. We argue that the in-situ word order is licensed in these dialects because tonal accent creates a prosodic domain licensing the incorporat
Utgångspunkten för min uppsats är tre grupper av ord eller ordformer som alla har s i stamslutet eller i böjningen, vad jag kommer att kalla för sar-pluraler, till exempel avokadosar och cowboysar, keps-ord, till exempel keps och räls, och klafs-ord, till exempel klafs och trams. Den fråga jag vill undersöka är om det finns något samband mellan s-et i de tre grupperna. Min hypotes är att ett sådan
Det verkar som att många politiker nästan hyser en outtalad irritation över att det ska vara så svårt för nyanlända att lära sig svenska. Men det kan vara mycket svårt att lära sig ett nytt språk, och det måste ibland få ta tid – även för inlärare som anstränger sig hårt, skriver Gunlög Josefsson, professor i svenska.
This work presents the development of a two-moment cloud microphysics scheme within version 5 of the NASA Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS-5). The scheme includes the implementation of a comprehensive stratiform microphysics module, a new cloud coverage scheme that allows ice supersaturation, and a new microphysics module embedded within the moist convection parameterization of GEOS-5. Compreh
The problem addressed in this paper is a case of word order microvariation in Mainland Scandinavian: optional vs. obligatory Object Shift (OS). Following standard assumptions (see Selkirk 1996), weak object pronouns are assumed to be affixal clitics at PF which do not themselves have the status of prosodic words. Since adverbs (including negation), areunsuitable as hosts, weak object pronouns may
How fish eyes may save yours?According to the World Health Organization, cataract was responsible for over half of the blindness world-wide in 2010. Getting a cataract means that the lens inside your eye gets clouded, preventing clear, sharp vision. Cataract can be caused by age, physical trauma, genetics, or even skin disease. It can virtually happen to everyone. It is possible to fix cataract byI have investigated some of the biological regulatory mechanisms governing the development of crystalline lenses. I used fish as model animals because they possess optically interesting lenses, while the geometrical simplicity of fish lenses allows for studies that are difficult or impossible with the lenses of other animals.First we have investigated lens optical plasticity by measuring longitudi
