Minority languages and their value to linguistic studies: beyond sociolinguistics

Language diversity and minority languages are closely connected and documentation of minority languages is particularly valuable in respect to historical studies, i.e. less-documented languages which are on the verge of extinction often present valuable pieces of information to indicate what languages in the past might have looked like (cf. uniformitarian principle). For instance, the development

Characterization of Surfaces Relevant to Nanotechnology

In this thesis investigations of the structure and dynamics of semiconductor surfaces relevant for the synthesis of nanostructures are presented. The studies were performed using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), and Spectroscopic PhotoEmission and Low Energy Electron Microcopy (SPELEEM). Nanostructures are defined as objects with one or more dimensions o

On Contact Mechanisms and Mechanical Transmission Performance

This thesis consists of four papers, which treat the modelling of a spur gear set and a disc brake, and the interaction between the machine elements. Features of the performance are studied in relation to the initial stated assumptions. Initially, a method for analysing the influence of profile errors upon load-sharing capabilities and mesh stiffness of spur gears was proposed. The contacts betwee

Probes, pronouns and binding in the Minimalist Program

Popular Abstract in Swedish Andra kapitlet redogör för konsekvenserna av att anta att inte bara huvuden utan också fraser är sonder. Slutsatsen är att det inte finns varken teoretisk eller empirisk anledning att behålla stipulationen att endast huvuden är sonder. I tredje kapitlet redogörs för de strukturella skillnaderna mellan pronomen och reflexiver. Skillnaden är att pronomen och refererande uIn chapter 2, I claim that not only heads, but phrases, too, are probes. I show that there are in fact no theoretical and empirical problems involved if we abandon the stipulation that only heads may probe. In chapter 3, I explore the structure of nominal expressions. The difference we see between reflexives and personal pronouns is argued to be an effect of the syntactic derivation, not of the p

Efficient Optimization Techniques for Localization and Registration of Images

Popular Abstract in Swedish I takt med att vi översvämmas av kameror och bilder blir också tillämpningarna för automatiserad bildanalys allt större. Det kan handla om avancerade industrirobotar eller mobiltelefoner och syftet är allt från att rädda liv till att få en bra bild på barnbarnen. Den här avhandlingen fokuserar på två centrala problem inom fältet datorseende och bildanalys. Den första dThis thesis focuses on two problems in the field of computer vision and image analysis. The first part of the thesis deals with image localization. The goal is simply to answer the question: Where was this picture taken? To answer this two things are needed: A model of the world, or at least the relevant parts of the world, and a method for relating a new image to the model. The thesis presents ne

En kvalitativ utvärdering av projektet Livslångt lärande

Rapporten redovisar resultaten av en kvalitativ utvärdering av projektet Livslångt lärande, ett projekt om kompetensbehovet inom hälso- och sjukvården i Region Skåne med fokus på lärande i arbetet. Utvärderingen har genomförts som en processutvärdering som följt projektets verksamhet mellan åren 1999 och 2000. Projektet bestod av fem olika delprojekt och erfarenheterna från dessa visade på betydel

Images of Devotion in Swedish Wall Paintings

In the first paper, devotional activities such as praying and worshipping in wall paintings, will be analysed. The wall paintings were the illiterate man's manual where he was taught the essentials of Christian faith and devotion.
