Objective, subjective, and conscious cross-linguistic similarity as predictors of intentionality in lexical transfer

The study tested vocabulary acquisition of a pseudo-language in Swedish–English bilinguals. A computerized paired-associate learning task was used to teach form-meaning mappings. A learning assessment task was administered after each block. The primary research question was whether subjective typology measures predict conscious and unconscious performance in post-learning outcomes.

Hovrättens möbler och andra betydelsefulla saker

På Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge finns flera möbler och föremål som funnits och använts sedan 1800-talet. Vi lät docenterna Martin Sunnqvist och Linda Fagerström ta en titt på några saker som de tycker är intressanta att berätta mer om.Filmen är en del av hovrättens 200-årsjubileum som firas från maj 2021 till maj 2022. Mer information finns på hovrättens webbplats: www.domstol.se/jubileumsare

AI i offentlig sektor : Från etiska riktlinjer till lagstiftning

Användningen av artificiell intelligens (AI), det vill säga en rad primärt databeroende metoder och teknologier för bland annat prediktion och automation, tycks bidra till en omvälvande period i den offentliga förvaltningen. Detta skifte föranleder ett styrningsbehov, ofta kopplat till tillitsfrågor, vilket i en internationell kontext inte minst syns i en stor mängd etiska riktlinjer och principie

Climate change and land degradation in Africa : A case study in the Mount Elgon region, Uganda

The aim of this study is to estimate and compare soil erosion, in the Mount Elgon region, eastern Uganda, during the last decade. Possible trends and changes in erosion are linked to precipitation/climate change as well as changes in land cover. Two different versions of the Revised Universal Soil loss Equation RUSLE. are implemented and compared, one using slope length and the other using flow ac

Do Drug Accessibility and OOP Burden Affect Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients With Chronic Diseases? — EQ-5D-5L Evaluation Evidence From Five Districts in China

Purpose: The dependence of patients with chronic diseases on drugs may affect their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aims to assess the relationship between the direct economic burden caused by out-of-pocket (OOP) payments, drug accessibility, sociodemographic characteristics, and health-related quality of life. Methods: 1,055 patients with chronic diseases from Gansu, Hebei, Sic

Fluoroquinolones and Other Antibiotics Redeemed for Cystitis—A Swedish Nationwide Cohort Follow-Up Study (2006–2018)

Background: Antibiotics are commonly prescribed for outpatient management of cystitis. Previous evidence suggests that certain factors likely beyond the infection seem to influence the choice of antimicrobial treatment. However, studies on the specific antibiotic treatments for cystitis are lacking. This study aimed to explore the antibiotic treatments for cystitis using nationwide primary healthc

Auraproduktion och "klassikerfiering" : Om aktivt meningsskapande som gör möbler till klassiker ‒ exemplifierat genom stolar från Sverige och Danmark

Klassiker är ett komplext fenomen. Dynamiskt och svårfångat. Artikeln undersöker hur en modern möbelklassiker skapas Begreppet kan laddas med värden av både immateriell och materiell karaktär. Auraproduktion fyller möbeln med innehåll och stärker den som objekt, vilket gör det till ett operativt och flitigt använt epitet inom både kommersiell och kulturell verksamhet. I artikeln lyfts exempel på p

Systematic analysis of mycobacterial acylation reveals first example of acylation-mediated regulation of enzyme activity of a bacterial phosphatase

Protein lysine acetylation is known to regulate multiple aspects of bacterial metabolism. However, its presence in mycobacterial signal transduction and virulence-associated proteins has not been studied. In this study, analysis of mycobacterial proteins from different cellular fractions indicated dynamic and widespread occurrence of lysine acetylation. Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins regulati

An integrated raster-tin surface flow algorithm

In this chapter, an alternative surface flow algorithm is presented. The basic idea behind the algorithm is the use of the advantages of TIN-based algorithms within a raster based environment. A gridded raster DEM is used to create a ‘regular TIN’, over which surface flow is estimated. Since each facet in the TIN has a constant slope and slope direction, the estimations of, for example, flow veloc

Local Destruction of Tumors and Systemic Immune Effects

Current immune-based therapies signify a major advancement in cancer therapy; yet, they are not effective in the majority of patients. Physically based local destruction techniques have been shown to induce immunologic effects and are increasingly used in order to improve the outcome of immunotherapies. The various local destruction methods have different modes of action and there is considerable

Investigation of HOM frequency shifts induced by mechanical tolerances

We present Higher Order Mode (HOM) studies on ESS Medium-Beta cavity, designed in INFN-LASA, including both simulation and measurement results. Mechanical tolerances of the fabrication process might shift HOMs frequencies toward harmonics of the bunch frequency. Both simulation and measurements at room and cryogenic temperature show that the design is fully compatible to requirements.

Comparison of algorithms for classifying Swedish landcover using Landsat TM and ERS-1 SAR data

Sixteen landcover classes in a representative Swedish environment were analyzed and classified using one Landsat TM scene and seven ERS-1 SAR.PRI images acquired during 1993. Spectral and backscattering signature separabilities are analyzed using the Jeffries-Matusita distance measure to determine which combinations of channels/images contained the most information. Maximum likelihood, sequential

On the ground estimation of vegetation cover in Australian rangelands

A number of field techniques were assessed on their reliability for estimating vegetation cover in Australian rangelands. The field sampling was undertaken using visual estimation, line intercepts, a crown cover model, and images acquired from a digital camera. The results from these methods were compared and analysed. The data obtained from these differing methods agree with each other in relativ

Pairing structural reconstruction with catalytic competence to evaluate the mechanisms of key enzymes in the folate-mediated one-carbon pathway

Mammalian metabolism comprises a series of interlinking pathways that include two major cycles: the folate and methionine cycles. The folate-mediated metabolic cycle uses several oxidation states of tetrahydrofolate to carry activated one-carbon units to be readily used and interconverted within the cell, which are required for nucleotide synthesis, methylation and metabolism, particularly for pro

Generalized Holographic Principle, Gauge Invariance and the Emergence of Gravity à la Wilczek

We show that a generalized version of the holographic principle can be derived from the Hamiltonian description of information flow within a quantum system that maintains a separable state. We then show that this generalized holographic principle entails a general principle of gauge invariance. When this is realized in an ambient Lorentzian space-time, gauge invariance under the Poincaré group is

Management and Outcome of Febrile Infants ≤60 days, With Emphasis on Infants ≤21 Days Old, in Swedish Pediatric Emergency Departments

BACKGROUND: Management of febrile infants ≤60 days of age varies, and the age for routine investigations and antibiotic-treatment is debated. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended age threshold for lumbar puncture (LP) is 21 days and for blood culture 60 days. We describe management and adverse outcome of febrile infants ≤60 days old, in Sweden.METHODS: Retrospective cross-sectional study
