The problem of empty names derives from the fact that empty names fail to refer. The reference failure of empty names implies that sentences containing empty names lack truth-conditions. As a consequence those sentences are meaningless, according to many theories of meaning. The present dissertation addresses the problem of empty names and proposes a solution to the problem at hand. In brief, the

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) has largely been associated with self-harm and chronic suicidality, despite the fact that these behaviours comprise only one diagnostic criterion. Treatments for self-harm are mostly indicated for individuals with BPD. Emerging literature suggests that youth with histories of depression are at risk of both self-harm and completed suicide. For individuals with
Popular Abstract in Swedish En ny typ av vattenlösliga fosfin ligander har utvecklats. Dessa fosfiner har använts som ligander i rhodium katalyserade tvåfasreaktioner.Komplexbildningen mellan de nya liganderna och olika metalcentra har studerats och de nya komplexen har använts i hydroformylerings- och hydreringsreaktioner. Polymerbundna kirala fosfiner har använts i enantioselektiv hydrering.Four new water-soluble phosphines have been prepared by utilising water-soluble polymers as charge carrying units. Coupling of methyl-4-(diphenylphosphino)-benzyl-amine or 4-diphenylphosphino benzaldehyde to poly-acrylic acid and poly-ethylene imine, respectively, afford the ligands PAA-PNH and PEI-PNH. Coupling of (2S,4S)-4-diphenylphosphino-2-di-phenylphosphino-methylpyrrolidine (PPM) or (R,R)-3
An algorithm specific digital signal processor is a powerful alternative to a general purpose signal processor for demanding specifications such as high throughput, low power, small size, etc. These properties are achieved as the processor architecture is tailored to the algorithm as opposed to the general purpose architecture which must suit a wide range of algorithms. The increased performance i
The main goal of SASPENCE is to develop and evaluate an innovative system able to perform the Safe Speed and Safe Distance concept, that means to help the driver in avoiding accident situations related to excessive speed or too small headway. So, the system should co-operate seamlessly with the driver, suggesting the proper velocity for the given condition (road structure, traffic situation, etc.)
This study investigates the public reading of New Testament writings in early Christian communities during the first two centuries C.E. from the perspective of the lectors who prepared and performed the readings. A survey of literary and pictorial sources from the Greek and Roman world indicates that only oratory and drama were delivered from memory, whereas most literary writings were read aloud
In the discipline of archaeology death has always been a common subject. Graves and dead bodies in different states of decay are important sources of information. This dissertation investigates how our relation to death can be mirrored through some of the better-known individuals from prehistory in Scandinavia. Because of the character of the question at issue I start with three chapters in which
Inhibitory control refers to the ability to stop impulses in favor of more appropriate behavior, and it constitutes one of the underlying cognitive functions associated with cognitive flexibility. Much attention has been given to cross-species comparisons of inhibitory control; however, less is known about how and when these abilities develop. Mapping the ontogeny of inhibitory control in differen
Objectives: To validate prospectively five mathematical models published in 2007 for calculating the risk of endometrial malignancy in a defined high-risk group of patients with postmenopausal bleeding and sonographic endometrial thickness≥4.5mm. Methods: Of 1012 consecutive patients, 379 fulfilled our inclusion criteria, which were the same as those of the original study in which the models were
Background: Socioeconomic status and geographical factors are associated with health and use of healthcare. Well-performing primary care contributes to better health and more adequate healthcare. In a primary care system based on patient's choice of practice, this choice (listing) is a key to understand the system. Objective: To explore the relationship between population and practices in a primar
Preservation of fetal ventral mesencephalic (VM) dopaminergic tissue prior to transplantation has been hampered by the fact that the cells are vulnerable to mechanical and osmotic stress after storage. Previous quantitative studies have shown that cool storage in a so-called 'hibernation medium' prior to grafting, can be used safely for up to 2 days without morphological or functional losses [16,3
Aims and objectives: To explore healthcare professionals' conceptions of caring for sick children in home care services. Background: Families often prefer home care to hospital care, and the number of home care services for children is increasing. Caring for children at home has been recognised as challenging for healthcare professionals in home care services used to providing care predominately f
Popular Science SummaryOat is one of the cereals that has been increasing in popularity during the last years. Oats are usually consumed for breakfast as a porridge, muesli, bread, or oat drinks which are included in, for example, smoothies. But why is it important to consume oats?There are two types of cholesterol, bad cholesterol and good cholesterol. The bad cholesterol can build up plaque insiCardiovascular diseases are among the most important causes of death in thedeveloped countries. These diseases are partly caused by too high cholesterolconcentrations in the blood. Avena sativa, oat, is the most common spieces of the genus Avena, and produced in huge amounts worldwide. Oats have been shown to have cholesterol-lowering properties since the 1960s. This property was originally attrib
To explore if the brain biomarker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in combination with a biomarker for stress; CT-proAVP (copeptin), oxidation; peroxiredoxin 4 (Prx4), inflammation; procalcitonin (PCT), or with biomarkers from the heart; midregional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP), or troponin T (TnT) can improve the prognostic accuracy of long-term outcome after out-of-hospital cardiac arr
Background: The world is facing global warming because of excessive release of greenhouse gases. The Science Based Target Initiative encourages companies to do their fair share in limiting the temperature increase to 2 degrees above preindustrial temperatures. This is called setting science-based targets. Little research has been made on the target setting process and there are few practical examp
En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with
