The current restructuring of the English modal system has long been noted as an ongoing language change process. Semi-modal constructions such as 'BE going to' and 'HAVE got to' are textbook cases of grammaticalization. As grammaticalization comes with a rise in frequency, these semi-modals are also typical examples of the ‘reducing effect’ of frequency, which leads to the contracted forms 'gonna'
This study is based on 116 blood alcohol estimations of intoxicated children up to 14 years of age; all these children recovered after several hours of clinical treatment. In 84 cases the data about the anamnesis, the neurological symptoms, and the clinical course could be evaluated in detail. The average age of children was 10 years; most of them (60%) were 11--14 years old. Sex distribution: 4 m
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fetma ökar epidemilikt i hela världen, delvis på grund av en ökad konsumption av dieter som innehåller mycket fett och/eller socker. Ghrelin och leptin är hormoner som produceras perifert med effekter på födointag och energihomeostas. Ghrelin i cirkulationen ökar vid energibrist, t ex vid fasta och signalerar därmed hunger. Leptin ökar vid födointag och signalerar mättnObesity is increasing throughout the world at an epidemic rate, partly due to increased consumption of diets rich in fat and/or sugar. Ghrelin and leptin are hormones, originating from the periphery, involved in the regulation of food intake and of maintaining energy homeostasis. Circulating ghrelin levels increase in times of energy deficiency, such as fasting, signalling hunger whereas circulati
To highlight the 250th anniversary of the Freedom of the Press Act teachers and researchers from School of Journalism organized and participated in a media workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länge trodde man att mikroorganismer spreds obehindrat på grund av deras ringa storlek och höga celltäthet. Eftersom de är väldigt små kan de lätt transporteras i vattendroppar med hjälp av vinden eller genom att fästa vid andra organismer så som fåglar och insekter. Endast miljöförhållanden som gynnade särskilda mikrober troddes påverka arters spridning och organismsamFor a long time microorganisms were assumed to have unlimited dispersal due to their small size and high cell numbers. Most microbial species can be transported by water currents, in water droplets by wind and attached to other organisms. Environmental conditions alone were supposed to affect the distribution of species and the community composition. Therefore, microorganisms were assumed to consi
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the loss of dopamine (DA) producing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc), resulting in typical motor symptoms. DA replacement with L-DOPA is the standard therapy for PD. However, with treatment duration many patients face the severe treatment complication of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID), constituting in ab
In timber drying, mechanical properties may be changed due to treatment temperature and treatment duration. In general, when increasing the kiln temperature, drying time is decreased and some timber properties are negatively affected. In this study, the effect of different drying temperatures (80, 120 and 170 degrees C) on equilibrium moisture content and sorption rate, on bending strength and sti
This article examines the establishment of national folklore groups within the framework of Soviet nationalities policy and the creation of a local mass culture. The author discusses Lithuania in order to illustrate the Soviet Union's hybrid methods of constructing folklore that created two different aesthetic approaches to folk music. Alongside the model of officially sanctioned folklore shows fr
A comprehensive concrete specification has been prepared to control the quality of the concrete for the Øresund Link. The required service life of the structure is 100 years in environmental conditions that are aggressive to concrete ; marine environment deicing agents, freeze-thaw action, water pressure etc. This paper gives a short review of the most important requirements for the concrete to be
