Nominal classification is a robust feature in many Amazonian languages, and aspects of these systems offer significant challenges to our broader conception of the phenomenon. Yet a clear characterization of Amazonian classification systems must be firmly grounded in detailed descriptive analysis on one hand, and in a principled definition of classification as a typological category on the other –

Complex predication is understood to be a highly productive processin Northwestern Amazonian languages in which complex predicates may berealized as compounds, verb-auxiliary constructions or serial verb constructions depending on language-internal criteria. These constructions play an important role in the organization of discourse and information packaging and can also carry out grammatical func

In vivo, apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is commonly found together with lipids in so-called lipoprotein particles. The protein has also been associated with several diseases—such as atherosclerosis and amyloidosis—where insoluble aggregates containing ApoA-I are deposited in various organs or arteries. The deposited ApoA-I has been found in the form of amyloid fibrils, suggesting that amyloid formati

The aluminum oxide-coating on cemented carbide tools used for metal cutting have been regarded as inert during cutting of steels. Because diffusional dissolution is not possible. Chemical degradation of aluminum oxide coatings is often overlooked, especially in the presence of ambient oxygen and non-metallic inclusions. High-pressure diffusion couples, advanced microscopy, and thermodynamics are u

Over the past few decades, digital technologies for health care have been introduced to improve effectiveness, reduce costs, and enhance access [1]. The case for digital health care increased dramatically during the COVID-19 pandemic [2,3]. However, less is known about some of the broader conditions under which these technologies would be able to contribute to improving health care [4]. To inform

Importance: Digital care platforms have been introduced, but there is limited evidence for their efficacy compared with traditional face-to-face treatment modalities.Objective: To compare mean pain reduction among individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee or hip who underwent face-to-face vs digital first-line intervention.Design, Setting, and Participants: This registry-based cohort study

Serious outcomes as stroke, arrythmia and death are relatively frequent in patients presenting with dizziness. Within 30 days almost one in five patients re-attended the ED due to dizziness and 2,8% needed ED evaluation due to a fall. Decision support tools to help identify serious conditions and predict preventable falls in ED patients with dizziness are needed.

The refusal to shake hands with a female reporter by a Muslim politician from the Miljöpartiet resulted in a controversy in Sweden. Together with a number of court cases, it revealed a disparity between the established judicial line and the views of the general public. The Swedish controversy received a response from Denmark, where the ruling coalition introduced new citizenship legislation with a

The goal of this thesis has been to investigate the possibility of multi-workload optimization in Database Management Systems and workload detection. A system was successfully constructed to allow for multi-workload testing and data aggregation. The performance gain when optimizing using this project did not seem to match the optimizing performance obtained during testing within the single-workloa

Background/Purpose: There has been increasing interest in diet as a factor that may contribute to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is limited and somewhat contradictory information on the impact of dairy products in this context. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between intake of various dairy products and the risk of RA in a nested case-control study.Me

Three decades ago, systematic research on possible acute and long-term aftereffects of peritraumatic dissociation (PD) was partly spurred by the proposal of a Brief Reactive Dissociative Disorder (BRDD) and the associated literature reviews and analyses of datasets (Cardeña, Lewis-Fernández, Beahr, Pakianathan & Spiegel, 1996; Cardeña et al., 1998; Spiegel & Cardeña, 1991). The goal was to

Due to the large number of electrons, solid state physics boils down to many-body approximations in which only selected types of collective excitations are taken into account, guided by the emergent properties of the material under study. In this thesis, the collective excitations of primary interest are electronic charge and spin fluctuations(plasmons and magnons) and nuclear charge fluctuations

Sustainable development lies at the heart of sustainable entrepreneurship. In the context of this view, the current paper explores the linkages among sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Since Gujarat ranks among the five top Indian states in terms of renewable energy (RE) potential, we studied this sector using a case study approach. The study explores factors that affects t
