Prosodic features, such as intonation and voice intensity, have a well-documented role in communicating emotion, but less is known about the role of laryngeal voice quality in speech and particularly in nonverbal vocalizations such as laughs and moans. Potentially, however, variations in voice quality between tense and breathy may convey rich information about the speaker’s physiological and affec

När beneficieskyddet för bostadsrätter infördes i svensk rätt var lagstiftarens syfte att bostadsrätter som utgångspunkt skulle undantas utmätning. Sedan införandet har värdet på bostadsrätter stigit. Värdestegringen har varit avgörande för rättsutvecklingen och idag skyddas endast en förhållandevis liten andel av svenska bostadsrätter från utmätning genom beneficieregeln i 5 kap. 1 § första styck

By drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldnotes and interviews with lawyers, this sociological study brings their loyalty work to life and reveals to the reader the unwritten rules of emotional interactions. It presents how defence lawyers socially construct their duty of loyalty by negotiating informal and implicit professional and social expectations. This accomplishment demands emotion work and

Hand movement is controlled by a large number of muscles acting on multiple joints in the hand and forearm. In a forearm amputee the control of a hand prosthesis is traditionally depending on electromyography from the remaining forearm muscles. Technical improvements have made it possible to safely and routinely implant electrodes inside the muscles and record high-quality signals from individual

I kapitlet skriver jag om hur artikel 3.1 barnkonventionen används som rättsligt argument inför beslut som tvingar ett barn att flytta från sin bostad. Det finns många typer av beslut som kan innebära att ett barn tvingas flytta från sin bostad. Jag har i detta kapitel valt att skriva om situationer när barn tvingas flytta på grund av att en förälder inte kan betala en skuld. Den vanligaste anledn

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A small proportion of HF cases are attributable to monogenic cardiomyopathies and existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have yielded only limited insights, leaving the observed heritability of HF largely unexplained. We report results from a GWAS meta-analysis of HF comprising 47,309 cases and 930,014 controls. T

Impaired lung function is often caused by cigarette smoking, making it challenging to disentangle its role in lung cancer susceptibility. Investigation of the shared genetic basis of these phenotypes in the UK Biobank and International Lung Cancer Consortium (29,266 cases, 56,450 controls) shows that lung cancer is genetically correlated with reduced forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1: r

This a contribution to the cultural semiotics of African cultural encounters seen through the eyes of Swedish naturalists at the end of the eighteenth century. European travellers faced severe problems in understanding the alien African cultures they encountered; they even had difficulty understanding the other culture as a culture. They were not just other cultures that they could relate to, but
