This volume contains innovative papers that target the linguistic status of topic at the interface between grammar and discourse. The purpose of the volume is to discuss the universal properties of topics and, at the same time, to document the range of discourse-semantic and grammatical variation within this phenomenon in European languages. The volume is structured accordingly: (i) theoretical fo
We calculate neutron multiplicities from fission fragments with specified mass numbers for events having a specified total fragment kinetic energy. The shape evolution from the initial compound nucleus to the scission configurations is obtained with the metropolis walk method on the five-dimensional potential-energy landscape, calculated with the macroscopic-microscopic method for the three-quadra
Transcriptional repressor EthR from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a valuable target for antibiotic booster drugs. We previously reported a virtual screening campaign to identify EthR inhibitors for development. Two ligand binding orientations were often proposed, though only the top scoring pose was utilized for filtering of the large data set. We obtained biophysically validated hits, some of whi
Graphene presents unique optoelectronic properties, making it attractive for the development of a wide range of new and advanced technological applications such as high-speed photodetectors and all-optical modulators. The study and control of the generated carriers in graphene, namely their ultrafast relaxation dynamics, are of great importance for these applications. Here, we report the ultrafast
Japanese citizens of all socioeconomic statuses have benefited from the national insurance system by receiving high-quality healthcare. However, the Japanese healthcare service is facing a severe financial crisis because of the increasing aging society and social security expenses. Many consultations raise medical expenditure and doctors' work overload, which is about to be regulated, but is quest
In this letter, we demonstrate low-frequency noise (LFN) characterization of an InAs vertical gate-all-around hafnium-zirconium oxide (HZO) ferroelectric field-effect transistor (FeFET). The LFN characteristics are investigated before and after ferroelectric switching for up to 1000 cycles in the FeFET. The evolution of such cycling reveals distinct differences in the LFN for the two polarization
Sweden did not follow the same route that most other European countries embarked on in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. When other countries closed as a response to the spread of the virus, Sweden decided not to impose a full lockdown. Rather, Sweden kept a large part of society open, such as keeping schools for children and bars and restaurants open, albeit with some restrictions. The focus
This review deals with the production of oxygen by photo-oxidation of water, which is a topic fitting a journal devoted to oxygen. Most of the present biosphere, including mankind, depends on oxygen. Elucidating the mechanism is of importance for solving the present energy crisis. Photosynthesis evolved in bacteria, first in a form that did not produce oxygen. The oxygen-producing version arose wi
This article examines the ways in which parenting practices of refugee parents are the object of concern for the Danish welfare state. Emphasis is placed on how interventions of daycare institutions and other welfare professionals have been experienced by refugee families who live in a context of radical uncertainty since they hold temporary residence permits in Denmark. Based on ethnographic fiel
The purpose of the dissertation is to provide new knowledge on how strategic communication can be understood and practiced when companies and authorities are challenged by digitally organized citizens who mobilize dissatisfaction and question traditional experts. The dissertation is based on a relational perspective, which means interest in how different actors constitute themselves and relate to
This report is a fire safety evaluation of Västralid nursing home in Olofström. The object consist of three connected housing bodies, first built in the 1970’s. At first, the buildings were used as regular apartments, but they were converted into nursing apartments for elderly people in the 1990’s. In the report, an analysis of fire scenarios are compared to egress scenarios to evaluate the perso
Algoritmer för att automatiskt förstå innehållet i bilder och videor har sett en enorm utveckling under de senaste åren. Trots framsteg i hur väl algoritmerna kan läras till att förstå bildinnehållet på egen hand så krävs fortfarande en viss grad av handhållning och vägledning från områdesexperter som utvecklar och tränar algoritmerna. När positionen och dimensionerna på ett objekt av intresse skaThis thesis presents a novel matching strategy, Inflated Multinomial Matching, which enables training of anchor-free object detection models based on convolutional neural networks. An important aspect of detection models is the integral usage of anchor boxes, where an anchor box is a bounding box with a preset and constant location, size and shape in the image. The matching strategy presented remo
This study is about the Europeanization of national politics in Sweden, based on the analysis of empirical data collected from the government ministries and offices. The focus of the study is to answer which policy areas are subject to a high-level of Europeanization, as well as investigate whether we can identify the level of Europeanization within the Swedish government ministries and the overal
En randomiserad kontrollerad studie användes för att undersöka effekten av självhjälpsbiblioterapi och kreativ biblioterapi på psykologisk flexibilitet, självmedkänsla och psykologiskt välmående, samt en jämförelse mellan självhjälpsbiblioterapi och kreativ biblioterapi. Deltagare randomiserades till självhjälpsbetingelse (n=17) eller bokcirkelbetingelse (n=21) och under åtta veckor läste de antinA randomized comparative study was used to explore the effect of self-help bibliotherapy and creative bibliotherapy on psychological flexibility, self-compassion and psychological well-being. Participants were randomized to self-help condition (n=17) or book circle condition (n=21) and during eight weeks they read either Harry Potter Therapy: an Unauthorized Book from the Restricted Section (Scarl
