At a time when journalism is said to be facing an epistemic crisis, the Baltic Sea islands tell a different story. On Åland, Gotland, Bornholm, and Saaremaa, local newsrooms still verify their information and connect to and sustain public life. Besides being a source of information, their journalism is also part of the islands’ shared identity – and a reminder that a free press is something worth
The presence of epistemic uncertainties in probabilistic modeling of structural performance implies that not only one but a multitude of possible models should be considered. When such models are utilized in the context of reliability and risk analysis, this does not pose any particular problem. In fact, epistemic and aleatory uncertainties may be treated without differentiation. However, in the c
This paper analyses an impact of religious practice on the development of the tense system, in particular the future tense. There have been rich typological studies on the tense, which reveal that a basic tense distinction is either past vs. non-past or past vs. present vs. future in most languages. From evolutionary/historical perspectives, the former case is older than the latter one, i.e. the f
This paper presents a hardware architecture for calculating the city-block and chessboard distance transform on binary images. It is based on applying multiple morphological erosions and adding the result, enabling both processing pixels in raster scan order and a deterministic execution time. Which distance metric to be calculated is determined by the shape of the structuring element, i.e. diamon

Immediate-early genes of the fos and jun families encode proteins that dimerize to form a complex of activator protein 1 and regulate the expression of a number of genes in the nervous system. Ethanol has previously been shown to induce alterations in expression of fos and jun genes in the brain. The present study examined the effects of ethanol on the expression of c-fos, fosB, c-jun, junB and ju
The overarching purpose of this study is to put the experiences of clandestine asylum seekers (rejected asylum seekers who, avoiding deportation, continue to stay in Sweden) at the centre of a critical re-reading of Swedish migration and gender regimes. Further, the study – in dialogue with feminist and postcolonial perspectives – aims to analyse the gendered experiences of migration and clandesti

A new upper bound on the list error probability is presented. This bound is derived by combining the techniques for obtaining the tangential union bound with an improved bound on the error probability with respect to a given list. Connections between the list distance and the eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of the code are studied
