Ecologists have often compared ecological communities in different areas, for example on different continents. The main interest is that the communities might be more similar in the characters of their species than expected under a null model of random species assortment. We suggest that such a null model should be based only on the species observed across the samples. Species-level convergence an

Jane Eyre is perhaps the best known governess charatcer in nineteenth-century fiction, but as this article shows, Charlotte Brontë's heroine differs radically from the common depiction of governesses at the time. After an outline of the genre characteristics of the governess novel this article offers a close reading of some scenes in Jane Eyre in order to establish to what extent the novel can be

Popular Abstract in Swedish I solens inre finns ett område där het, joniserad och mycket turbulent gas alstrar stora elektriska strömmar. Dessa strömmar genererar i sin tur ett starkt magnetfält som stiger upp till solens yta, fotosfären. I fotosfären uppstår en del intressanta magnetiska fenomen som till exempel solfläckar. Solfläckar är relativt svala områden som skapas då magnetfält hindrar denA solar magnetic field is continuously being created in the solar interior. As the field evolves outward through the solar atmosphere and into the enveloping heliosphere, it causes effects on a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. By studying and measuring these magnetic effects we gain extensive knowledge about solar magnetism and it also allows us to model and predict how solar activity is

Are people strategically ignorant of the negative externalities their activities cause the environment? Herein we examine if people avoid costless information on those externalities and use ignorance as an excuse to reduce pro-environmental behavior. We develop a theoretical framework in which people feel internal pressure (“guilt”) from causing harm to the environment (e.g., emitting carbon dioxi

Boken handlar om Karl Knutsson, en av centralgestalterna i 1400-talets svenska historia. Han var riksföreståndare en gång och kung tre gånger, dessutom mångårig makthavare i Finland, härskare över en del av norra Polen (Putzig), herre över sjörövare på Östersjön och en förgrundsgestalt i den svenska politiska propagandans historia. I boken skildras Karl Knutssons liv från vaggan till graven. Det ä

Germanic verb second (V2) is often said to be difficult for L2ers irrespective of their L1. Recent work on Swedish/German (e.g. vulnerable C-domain (Platzack 2001), processability (Håkansson, Pienemann & Sayehli 2001)) claims that speakers of a V2-language learning another V2-language start with a non-V2 interlanguage grammar, i.e. they don’t transfer V2, but follow a universal developmental p
