From ’big’ to ’much’ : On the grammaticalisation of some gradable adjectives in Swedish

In this paper, I give a short description of a language change that can be viewedas an instance of grammaticalization, namely the transition of the two adjectivesmycken/t and liten/t into quantifiers. Data from the corpus of Swedish drama dialogue reveal that liten/t became a quantifier as early as the 1700s, whereas mycken/t seems to have gone through the same change roughly 150 years later. Inhe

Impact of Cardiovascular Neurohormones on Onset of Vasovagal Syncope Induced by Head-up Tilt.

BackgroundVasovagal reflex is the most common form of syncope, but the pathophysiological mechanisms that initiate the reflex are not well understood. We aimed to study supine and early orthostatic levels of the neurohormones involved in control of circulatory homeostasis in relation to the onset of tilt‐induced vasovagal syncope (VVS).Methods and ResultsA total of 827 patients who were investigat

"The Ideal School - The Ideal World?" : Teacher Education moving towards glocal understanding

According to Sahlberg (2011) educational reforms in different countries follow similar patterns as well as educational systems. Sahlberg calls this Global Educational Reform Movement (GERM) and its symptoms are: More competition within education systems, which leads to accountability (inspections, standardized tests, assessing teacher effectiveness) and less cooperation, increased school choice (c

On the Formation of Necks at Crack Tips under Plane Stress Conditions.

The conditions for necking are well defined through the theory of Hill [1]. These conditions are applied to elasto plastic linearly hardening Tresca.and v Mises materials for different hardening characteristics. The results suggest that necking developes for all hardening materials. Below a certain hardening the stresses normal to the necking region and just outside it decrease during the necking

Traditional Musics in Music Education - The Sound of (R)evolution?

This chapter describes a SIDA (Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency) and later Linnaeus Palme project that in the years 2008-2016 aimed to start a Music Education Department at a Music Conservatoire in Vietnam derived from the renovation of curriculums for music in schools. It discusses the questions concerning traditional music in a school context by addressing how higher educatio

Crack paths in a weak elastic layer covering a beam

Experiments have been performed on cracks growing in a weak elastic layer bonded to a stiffer beam. The plane of the initial crack is perpendicular to the interface between the layer and the beam (see Fig. 1). The applied load is initially mode I. A frequent observation is that the crack deflects following a curved path. Finally the crack runs almost parallel with the interface. Different ratios o

The reinvented music teacher - researcher in the making : Conducting educational development through intercultural collaboration

Music educators working in cross-cultural contexts are faced with both challenges and possibilities, often finding themselves in need of multidimensional re-invention. This chapter focuses on teacher-researchers, contextualising them within the frame of institutional change and intercultural music teacher education. Taking an active role in educational development and regenerating usual patterns o
