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
A search is conducted for non-resonant new phenomena in dielectron and dimuon final states, originating from either contact interactions or large extra spatial dimensions. The LHC 2012 proton-proton collision dataset recorded by the ATLAS detector is used, corresponding to 20 fb(-1) at root s = 8 TeV. The dilepton invariant mass spectrum is a discriminating variable in both searches, with the cont
In the West, everybody is now talking about the economic and financial crisis. The term ‘’crisis” has become a buzzword within both academic and policy communities. There is an enormous upsurge of scholarly interest in the effects of this crisis on public administration systems, and the role that public administration plays in these processes. The underlying belief is that the public administratio
We investigated neural distinctions between inflectional and derivational morphology and their interaction with lexical frequency using the mismatch negativity (MMN), an established neurophysiological index of experience-dependent linguistic memory traces and automatic syntactic processing. We presented our electroencephalography (EEG) study participants with derived and inflected words of variabl
Levels of mRNA for c-fos, nerve growth factor (NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), TrkB, and TrkC were studied using in situ hybridization in the rat brain at different reperfusion times after unilateral middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Short-term (15 min) MCAO, which does not cause neuronal death, induced elevated BDNF mRNA expression confined to ipsilat
BACKGROUND: The influence of tobacco smoke has been investigated on the growth rate and histology of prostate cancer, both in untreated tumors and in those subjected to fractionated irradiation. METHODS: Twenty-five rats were implanted bilaterally with Dunning R3327 tumor fragments at 10 weeks of age. Approximately 3 months later, they were randomly allocated to two groups, one of which was expose
One way to increase distribution network reliability is to replace traditional overhead lines with underground cables. To fully utilize these investments, network owners will have to adjust their reliability engineering methods to suit the new cable networks. In this paper different condition assessment methods as well as improved failure statistics for cable systems are considered. The paper is b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den första beskrivningen av diabetes mellitus gjordes redan 1500 före Kristus när en faraos läkare noterade att myror samlade sig omkring urin från vissa människor men inte andras. På 1700-talet beskrevs för första gången närvaron av större mängder socker i såväl blod som urin hos diabetiska patienter. På 1920-talet upptäcktes insulin i bukspottkörteln (pancreas) och saThe influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in t
Classical evolutionary life history concerns questions such as optimal timing of maturation, life span and number of offspring. These questions have mostly been studied theoretically under the assumption that the environment is stable and without taking into account frequency and density dependence. Life history theory is the basis for my thesis, in which I have studied the evolution of different
One of the causes of the great survival capability of some biological systems is the fact that they are systems of individuals such that the system behavior does not critically depend on anyone individual. Such systems can be regarded as redundant systems with different kinds and levels of redundancy. For example, although each specimen of a biological society has a limited life span, the whole so
DescriptionThis thesis consists of two papers. The first gives a game-theoretical treatment of the institutional homogenization of value-oriented firms. It explains why intrinsically motivated, value-oriented firms like non-profits may become similar to for-profit firms in terms of organization and norms. It highlights and explains the pairs: value-oriented and flat organizations in contrast to va
In 1999, seven dark-bellied brent geese Branta bemicla bemicla were followed during spring migration from western Europe to Arctic Russia using satellite telemetry. For six of the birds we were also able to monitor their summer stay at the Taymyr Peninsula, and for five birds part of their autumn migration was recorded. In this article, we report on site use during summer and spring/autumn migrati
Samhall har utfört sitt kärnuppdrag, att utveckla och rehabilitera personer med funktionshinder, sedan innan Sverige gick med i EU, och det är inte förvånade att det finns frågetecken kring hur den merkostnadsersättning företaget erhåller förhåller sig till EU:s statsstödsregler. De EU-rättsliga kraven på stöd som medlemsstaterna utger har vidare utvecklats och preciserats under de senaste åren, sSamhall has been carrying out its main assignment to provide development opportunities for and rehabilitate people with disabilities since before Sweden became a member of the EU. With that in mind it is hardly surprising that there are questions as to whether the aid that Samhall receives for carrying out this assignment complies with the EU state aid laws. In recent years the concept services of
Throughout the last years, more and more cities around the world have integrated sustainability into their development goals to deal with today’s multiple environmental and social challenges. Simultaneously, an exploding strand of research stresses the potential of cities in a transition towards sustainability. However, in most cities claiming to be sustainable, policies often remain rather limite
Purpose: This study aims to examine changes in the acquired company’s MCS post-M&A and how the employees perceive this change. Further, the purpose is to investigate how employees' perceptions affect the employees’ motivation and identity. Methodology: This study follows a qualitative research approach by analyzing an acquired company in the logistic industry. Data was collected through s
The marine environment is a vital resource protecting our ecosystem and a critical part of the wellbeing of our planet. Marine Strategy Planning (MSP) is essential for conservation and protection of marine monitoring systems and governments should constantly improve their strategies and aim for increased effectiveness of these systems. This thesis focuses on marine conservation in Sweden and revie
Anonyma vittnen har diskuterats under relativt lång tid i Sverige och debatten har blossat upp och fått mycket uppmärksamhet den senaste tiden till följd av den ökning av gängrelaterat våld som skett runt om i Sverige. Idag tillåts inte anonyma vittnen i den svenska rättsordningen men detta kommer sannolikt att ändras. Tidöavtalet anger att anonyma vittnen ska införas och den 19 december 2022 beslAnonymous witnesses have been discussed during a relatively long time in Sweden and recently, the debate has flared up and gotten a lot of attention due to the increase of gang-related violence in Sweden. Anonymous witnesses are not permitted in the Swedish legal system today but that is likely to change. The agreement between the Swedish government and The Swedish Democrats party, the so called “
Unga lagöverträdare har under lång tid särbehandlats inom den svenska straffrätten av flera olika skäl vilka främst grundar sig i principen om humanitet. På senare tid har dock denna särbehandling kommit att ifrågasättas. En bestämmelse som varit föremål för särskilt omfattande kritik är den så kallade ungdomsreduktionen vilket stadgas i 29:7 § brottsbalken. Detta till följd av kriminalitetens utvYoung offenders have been treated differently within Swedish criminal law for a long time due to several different reasons, which are primarily based on the principle of humanity. However, recently, this differential treatment has come into question. One provision that has been subjected to particularly extensive criticism is the so-called youth reduction, which is stipulated in Section 29, paragr
En vanlig orsak till dödsfall globalt sett är cancer, och det har varit ett intensivt forskningsområde under de senaste årtiondena med inriktning på biomedicinsk forskning. Det finns tre vanliga etablerade cancerbehandlingar som är kirurgi, cellgiftsbehandling och strålbehandling. Även om dessa behandlingar förlänger överlevnadstiden för patienterna, så är de ofta otillräckliga vid behandling av cCancer is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and despite the effectiveness of established treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, they may prove inadequate in advanced stages. These treatments can cause severe side effects, such as immune suppression and damage to healthy cells, which can lead to resistance and hinder treatment effectiveness. Immunotherapy is another estab
