A Perambulating Paradox: British Travel Literature and the Image of Sweden, c.1770-1865

Sweden of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was visited and toured by a number of British author-travellers, whose subsequently published views of and on the country and its people are examined and presented in this thesis. Using as primary sources British-published monographs deriving, wholly or in part, from an experienced Sweden of c.1770-1865, it has been possible to identify and define

The prosody of contrastive topics in Southern Swedish

This paper presents a pilot study on the prosodic marking of a contrastive topic in Southern Swedish. A test sentence was elicited in three experimental conditions: initial focus; final focus; contrastive topic (initial word) plus focus (final word). F0 patterns were analysed in recordings of 10 speakers. A majority of the speakers distinguished clearly between the conditions, but speakers employe

A gender perspective on interreligious dialogue

Interreligious dialogue is designed to take into account a plurality of faiths. But at the same time it often excludes or marginalizes women, both physically and conceptually, which is disqualifying for a dialogue that have pretensions to be non-oppressive. The article illustrates some areas where a gender perspective may be relevant, as in the selection of the participants of the dialogue and in

Introduction

Dissociative disorders measures

Dissociation is a complex concept that involves at least two different types of phenomena: the compartmentalization of psychological processes such as memory or identity that should ordinarily be integrated, and alterations of consciousness characterized by experiential detachment from the self and/or the environment. Although there are non-pathological manifestations of dissociation, this chapter

TamaRISC-CS: An Ultra-Low-Power Application-Specific Processor for Compressed Sensing

Compressed sensing (CS) is a universal technique for the compression of sparse signals. CS has been widely used in sensing platforms where portable, autonomous devices have to operate for long periods of time with limited energy resources. Therefore, an ultra-low-power (ULP) CS implementation is vital for these kind of energy-limited systems. Sub-threshold (sub-VT) operation is commonly used for U

A solid introduction to clinical hypnosis. [Review of the book Essential of Clinical Hypnosis]

Reviews the book, Essentials of Clinical Hypnosis: An Evidence-Based Approach by Steven Jay Lynn and Irving Kirsch (see record 2005-13464-000). Steven Jay Lynn and Irving Kirsch are two of the most prolific and best-regarded hypnosis researchers in the world, besides working as clinicians, so they can discuss authoritatively both the empirical support for different hypnotic interventions and provi

Bayesian Combination of Multiple Plasma Glucose Predictors

This paper presents a novel on-line approach of merging multiple different predictors of plasma glucose into a single optimized prediction. Various different predictors are merged by recursive weighting into a single prediction using regularized optimization. The approach is evaluated on 12 data sets of type I diabetes data, using three parallel predictors. The performance of the combined predicti

Prompt Particle Decay in Nuclei: Present Status and Future Perspectives

During recent years the nuclear decay modes of discrete prompt proton and alpha-particle emission from deformed or superdeformed high-spin states have been discovered in nuclei in the vicinity of doubly-magic Ni-56. The particle decays may be viewed as self-regulated two-dimensional quantum tunnelling processes. Due to the decay the remaining nuclear mean-field potential is rearranged dramatically

Green Performance Map: An Industrial Tool for Enhancing Environmental Improvements within a Production System

Empirical findings indicate a need of support for environmental management within the manufacturing industry for improving the environmental performance of their production systems. This paper elaborates on a generic, three step visualization tool, here called Green Performance Map (GPM). The GPM adds to the framework of ISO 14001, providing the user with a systematic procedure to visualize enviro
