Early Ordovician (Late Arenig) limestones from the SW margin of Baltica (Scania-Bomholm) have multicomponent magnetic signatures, but high unblocking components predating folding, and the corresponding palaeomagnetic pole (latitude = 19degreesN, longitude = 051degreesE) compares well with Arenig reference poles from Baltica. Collectively, the Arenig poles demonstrate a midsoutherly latitudinal pos

The difference between the Western and the “Indian” view of nature has sometimes in the literature on environmental ethics been expressed as the difference between an anthropocentric and biocentric worldview. This argument often juxtaposes two models, without consideration of context. My aim in this article is to investigate those aspects of Amerindian cosmologies that have led Western scholars to

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling presenterar en bred och kritisk översikt av litteraturen och forskningen angående inlärning av uttal och språkljud. De problem som framför allt vuxna har med att lära sig uttalet i ett främmande språk diskuteras och de olika hypotesen granskas. Jag argumenterar att inlärning är i stort sett en härmningsprocess. Två modeller av inlärning presenteras. DThis work is concerned with the acquisition of the phonetic characteristics of languages and dialects, and with the issue of learner talent or individual achievement in learning second languages. Following a survey of the literature on language learning limits, it is argued that the concentration on group trends in most of the existing literature, whilst convenient, serves more to obscure the reas

In this note we discuss some aspects of the peakon-antipeakon interaction for the Camassa-Holm equation.

Browning offers rich information on theories in current moral psychology. He criticizes these theories and states the superiority of the Christian narrative for the understanding and grounding of morality. This short text is a critical comment to his standpoint.

BACKGROUND: The 30-item disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire is increasingly used in clinical research involving upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders. From the original DASH a shorter version, the 11-item QuickDASH, has been developed. Little is known about the discriminant ability of score changes for the QuickDASH compared to the DASH. The aim of this study was to

What happens when economies 'heat up'? This book looks at the 1990s, years of intense economic experimentation, when buzz words such as 'network society', 'the experience economy', 'creative cities' and 'glocalization' were everywhere. A fascinating perspective on 'The New Economy' emerges as the authors explore the worlds of coolhunters, biotech brokers, career coaches, software entrepreneurs and
