This paper focuses on the grammatical expression or ‘packaging’ of modality in Japanese. I consider two aspects: (1) the grammatical encoding of epistemic, deontic, and evidential notions with English as a point of comparison, and (2) the co-encoding of modality and subjectivity. As for the former aspect, the comparison between Japanese and English exemplifies how languages can take different stra
This article address the means by which early followers can exert influence within a new religious movement. The case study that is used to exemplify potential dynamics in such a situation is that of the MOVE Organization, a group founded in the early 1970s in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by a man known as "John Africa". Instead of focusing on the founder, however, this article examines the role pla
STUDY DESIGN: A thematic review. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate if physical activity enhances muscle strength, improves balance, and reduces the fall frequency and the fracture incidence. BACKGROUND: One of the major medical problems of today is the increasing incidence of fragility fractures. Muscle strength and fall is one of the major determinants of a fracture. If physical activity could increase mus
. Smärta efter stroke kan vara av olika typer och varierande svårighetsgrad . Personer med kommunikationsproblem kan behöva peka ut områdett för smärtan och med ansiktsuttryck visa hur svår smärtan upplevs eller ange smärtnivå på en skala.
The change of specific surface area and pore size distribution due to carbonation of an ordinary Portland cement mortar is investigated. The adsorption of water vapor on noncarbonated and well-carbonated cement mortar is measured in order to evaluate the difference in specific surface area for the two samples using the BET theory. From the measured desorption the pore size distribution is calculat
Extracellular matrix, either produced by cancer cells or by cancer-associated fibroblasts, influences angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis. Chondroitin/dermatan sulfate (CS/DS) proteoglycans, which occur both in the matrix and at the cell surface, play important roles in these processes. The unique feature that distinguishes DS from CS is the presence of iduronic acid (IdoA) in DS. Here, we repor
In this article the phenomenon of literary tourism is approached through the Foucauldian concept heterotopias. A heterotopia is a a bridge between worlds, a physical place or a representation of a place, where transgression is possible. This can be applied to literary tourism, and in this specific case the literary walk, where the tourist goes between his och her own experiences of reading, into t
A new type of polymer gel dosimeter, which responds well to absorbed dose even when manufactured in the presence of normal levels of oxygen, was recently described by Fong et al. [Phys. Med. Biol. 46, 3105-3113 (2001)] and referred to by the acronym MAGIC. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using this new type of gel for intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) verific
