The article summarizes a study of tonal courses in Mongolian yes-no and question word interrogatives. The investigation concerns local characteristics of utterances, namely focal and boundary signaling gestures. A phonological analysis of the gestures is proposed based on the acoustic data.

Since 1990 sickness benefits have been reduced in Sweden. In this paper we use data from the labour force survey to study the introduction of a qualification day in 1993. Our main centre of interest is the distributional effects caused by this cutback, and to this end we analyse a large number of interactions between background variables and the reform dummy. Considerable attention is thus paid to

Ulf Johansson Dahre Introduction The 4th annual Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) Conference of the Horn of Africa focused on “Good Governance and the Rule of law” as keys to peace, development and sustainable development. The conference was held in Lund, Sweden, October 14-16, 2005. The content of this volume reflects some of the views and proceedings presented at the conference

I denna bok rapporteras resultat från sju forskningsprojekt inom forskningsprogrammet Skolkultur en framgångsfaktor? Forskarna kommer från olika vetenskapliga discipliner: etnologi, företagsekonomi, pedagogik, socialantropologi, sociologi och statsvetenskap. Förankrade i olika perspektiv och teoritraditioner och med hjälp av olika metoder undersöker de skolan. Resultatet är en bred och varierad be

On the contemporary tv-serial, its visual style and the rampant auteurism within this particular world.

Language is a social phenomenon used for communication and to convey messages from one individual to another. The systemic-functional approach embraces the linguistic expression of the Sermon, the co-text, as well as its paralinguistic reference points, the context. The Sermon on the Mount is probably the most well-known passage of text in the New Testament and is a structured discourse with far-r

I will describe principles and advantages of semiconductor nanowires as applied to fabrication of light-emitting diodes for display and solid state lighting applications as well as for the realization of nanowire array solar cells.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Insekter använder sig av kemiska signaler i de flesta sammanhang. De söker efter föda, partners eller äggläggningsställen med hjälp av dofter. Signalerna tas emot via antennerna och utlöser ett visst beteende, exempelvis anflygning till eller äggläggning på födan. Mottfjärilar, såsom indiskt mjölmott (Plodia interpunctella), kvarnmott (Ephestia kuehniella) och mandelmotMoths use chemical signals emanating from food to find sites for oviposition and subsequent larval feeding. By identifying these odours, novel approaches to pest management can be developed, such as monitoring of females in pest populations. The pyralid moths studied in this thesis, the almond moth (Ephestia cautella), the Mediterranean flour moth (E. kuehniella) and the Indian meal moth (Plodia i

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vårt vardagliga liv träffar vi på en mängd apparater som använder sig av överföring och lagring av information. Ett par exempel på sådana är CD-spelare, mobiltelefoner och datorer. I de flesta av alla dessa apparater lagras eller överförs informationen på digital form, det vill säga man använder sig av ett ändligt antal symboler för att representera informationen. EttThis thesis focuses on different convolutional coding constructions for digital communication systems, and on methods to analyze these constructions. The work presented in the thesis can be divided into three main areas; error probability bounds for convolutional codes, analysis of multilevel modulation, and investigation of low-density parity-check convolutional codes. New bounds are developed f
