En stor del av språkvetenskapen vilar sedan länge på en snäv idé om sitt kunskapsobjekt. Inställningen är nomotetisk och logocentrisk. Med språk avses ett regelbundet system. Fastän denna inställning mött mycket motstånd, har den väl i praktiken aldrig skakats i grunden. Denna undersökning försöker därför ännu en gång att presentera ett alternativt språkbegrepp. Teorin är dialogisk och hermeneutis
MARK RAMBARAN visar hur en molekyl som innehåller övergångsmetallen niob kan användas som byggsten för att designa material för exempelvis energilagring.
The paper examines the entries of 36 words for common animal sounds in two online English dictionaries, Cambridge Dictionaries and The Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, to see what information is provided in the entries. Previous work on English dictionaries has focused on meaning explanations of referential, arbitrary words. With the examination of onomatopoeic words for animal sounds, this paper e
This article investigates if cryptocurrencies returns' are similarly affected by a selection of demand- and supply-side determinants. Homogeneity among cryptocurrencies is tested via a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model where determinants of Bitcoin returns are applied to a sample of 12 cryptocurrencies. The analysis goes beyond existing research by simultaneously coveri
This chapter analyses responses of European policymakers to the Covid-19 pandemic’s first and second waves. It is based on an empirical analysis where patterns are sought between contextual factors and policy responses. The results shows that that macroeconomic conditions and policy interactions appear to matter more than countries’ number of Covid-19 cases. The level of government indebtedness ca
The Tamil procedures for computing the circumstances of eclipses were reported by the French astronomer Guillaume Le Gentil from his visit to India in the 1760's. This paper investigates these Tamil procedures for a solar eclipse, focusing on the procedures for finding the eclipse parallax which are needed to describe the local appearance of an eclipse. These procedures constitute the essential di
There is a clinical need for conceptually new treatments that target the excessive activation of inflammatory pathways during systemic infection. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) are endogenous anti-infective immunomodulators interfering with CD14-mediated TLR-dependent immune responses. Here we describe the development of a peptide-based compound for systemic use, sHVF18, expressing th
BackgroundOlder adults have a high prevalence of chronic pain, which can have a substantial effect on their health and quality of life. Patients’ use of effective pain relief methods is a central part of the treatment and management of chronic pain. The utilization of pain relief methods and their perceived effectiveness are important knowledge for treating and managing chronic pain for clinicians
Serial dependence (SD) refers to the effect in which a person’s current perceptual judgment is attracted toward recent stimulus history. Perceptual and memory processes, as well as response and decisional biases, are thought to contribute to SD effects. The current study examined the processing stages of SD facial identity effects in the context of task-related decision processes and how such effe
BACKGROUND: Neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and total-tau protein (tau) are novel blood biomarkers of neurological injury, and may be used to predict outcomes in critical COVID-19.METHODS: A prospective multicentre cohort study of 117 consecutive and critically ill COVID-19 patients in six intensive care units (ICUs) in southern Sweden between May and Novem
Membrane processes are widely used for desalination and wastewater treatment worldwide. In this presentation we will review some interesting membrane concepts which are either currently used or are under development. The initial focus will be on drinking water preparation from lake and river water and desalination of brackish water which are well established in Sweden. Furthermore, new will be pre
IntroductionThe pulp and paper sector is a key global industry. Presently, pulp mills prioritize the production of pulp, fibers, and electricity. By transforming traditional pulp mills into lignocellulosic biorefineries, they can become a key element of a future, circular bioeconomy. To accomplish this, pulp mills need to close their loops and optimize the use of the lignocellulosic feedstock, not
Proteins are important for our daily diet and thus, one of the most important food ingredients. Currently, the global protein market was valued at over 72 billion U.S. dollars and is projected to reach 114.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2030. The success story of membranes in the food sector is closely tied to their ability to effectively recover proteins.A milestone for the adoption of membrane techno
The European project ‘REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart Economy’ (REWAISE) aims to establish a novel ‘smart water ecosystem’ by integrating an advanced digital infrastructure for decentralized water services and decision-making, engaging all stakeholders to highlight the actual value of water. The approach will reduce the consumption of freshwater and energy while also recovering valuable nutri
The utilization of membrane technology in the food industry is directly tied to its success in protein recovery processes. Membrane technology was first introduced in the food industry for the extraction of proteins from whey, a by-product of cheese production that was difficult to dispose of due to its low solids content and high biological oxygen demand. By using ultrafiltration, whey proteins w
