Nominal classification is a robust feature in many Amazonian languages, and aspects of these systems offer significant challenges to our broader conception of the phenomenon. Yet a clear characterization of Amazonian classification systems must be firmly grounded in detailed descriptive analysis on one hand, and in a principled definition of classification as a typological category on the other –

F1 and F2 frequencies of the vowels /i/, /a/ and /u/ were measured in speech directed to an infant and to adults. The vowels were taken from content words as well as function words. The results showed that the vowel triangles in speech to the infant were expanded compared to those in speech to adults, but only in the content words. For function words, the opposite pattern was found: adults produce

Deflationism about truth is often said to be incompatible with truth-theoretic semantics. However, both of these labels are ambiguous, making the truth of the incompatibility claim dependent on interpretation. I provide one pair of natural interpretations, on which both views relate essentially to grounding and on which they are indeed incompatible. This result has some intrinsic interest as well

The challenge to develop sustainable products increases as resources becomes scarcer. Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) and Ecodesign have emerged to diminish product environmental impact from material gaining to disposal. LCA methods and tools, however, were not conceived to spur product design activities and decisions towards sustainable End-of-life (EoL) product conception, while Ecodesign requires ma

Increasing water demand and water security risks are global concerns for societal prosperity and business continuity as clean water is a critical input in several industrial processes. Understanding water risks is a complex field and few studies exists on the effects of water supply disruptions on industries. Economic impact assessment of water shortages is therefore important for insurance and ri

TOYS & MEMORIES What makes some toys great? This was the question that started this entire project. When remembering toys from ones childhood there are always some toys that are more commonly referenced. Were these toys “the best toys” and more importantly: what traits made them better, and can they be replicated? A toy is something created with the main purpose of being a catalyst for ones i

Vi lever i en tid av snabb teknisk utveckling. På bara några decennier har den sociala miljön förändrats drastiskt. Vi har gått från en värld där social interaktion bestod i direkt kontakt mellan två individer till en värld där en stor del av det sociala utbytet inte sker ansikte mot ansikte utan skärm mot skärm. Denna nya verklighet har medfört en intensifierad konflikt mellan två av våra mest be

Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda reklamationspliktens innehåll vid felaktig och vårdslös kommersiell rådgivning, t.ex. rådgivning från advokater, revisorer eller skattejurister till kommersiella uppdragsgivare. Uppsatsen utreder när reklamationsfristen startar, hur lång reklamationsfristen är och vilken rättsverkan som följer av en sen eller försummad reklamation vid felaktig och vårdslös kommersi

Bakgrund: tidigare studier visar att kvinnor upplever att föräldragrupper inte förbereder dem för amning. Det är viktigt att studera hur kvinnor upplever amningsinformation under graviditeten då detta kan öka amningsfrekvensen. Syfte: Att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av amningsinformation under graviditeten. Metod: en kvalitativ studie gjordes och elva kvinnor intervjuades. Kvalitativ innehålls

Innovation Ecosystems (IE) is an emerging concept that highlights the evolution of a group of actors working around common practices, products, processes, actions, and initiatives. While we can find various definitions of urban innovation districts/ecosystems and common traits that coherently define them at the urban level, only a few scholars have focused on understanding and further defining Inn

Nutritional ecology is a key determinant of bee health, yet species-specific preferences and how bees respond nutritionally to real-world pesticide exposure remain unclear. We collected pollen stores from three managed bee species in 128 sites across two widespread agro-ecosystems (i.e., oilseed rape fields and apple orchards) in eight European countries. We measured protein content, lipid content
