Discussion of the terms "intertext" and "intertextuality" with primary focus on film studies.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Implementeringen av dotter/moderbolagsdirektivet av den 23 juli 1990. Jämförelse mellan olika nationella lagstiftningar som implementerat direktivetAt the crossing between Community law and international tax law, this thesis analyses and compares the Member States' legislation implementing the Parent/Subsidiary Directive of 23 July 1990. Of special interest, the different levels of compliance towards Community law have been proved to be the major obstacle to the harmonisation’s process underlying in the Directive. The procedural differences d

We present a derivation of the low-energy effective action of an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (ENJL) model to O(p4) in the chiral counting. Two alternative scenarios are considered on how the ENJL model could originate as a low-energy approximation to QCD. The low-energy effective lagrangian we derive includes the usual pseudoscalar Goldstone modes, as well as the lower scalar, vector and axial-vec

The serine synthesis pathway comprises three steps, and genetic defects are known in each of these: 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase deficiency, phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency and 3-phosphoserine phosphatase deficiency. The former has been reported in 24 patients. The majority of these patients have a severe infantile phenotype consisting of congenital microcephaly, intractable seizures

Understanding how the anatomy of the human brain constrains and influences the formation of large-scale functional networks remains a fundamental question in neuroscience. Here, given measured brain activity in gray matter, we interpolate these functional signals into the white matter on a structurally-informed high-resolution voxel-level brain grid. The interpolated volumes reflect the underlying

The thesis, moving from several critical points of the Italian industrial relation system, studies in which way the rules that regulate those systems can influence the competitiveness of the enterprises. For this scope are compared several European experiences such as the Italian, Spanish and French ones, with particular attention to the changes that have been put in place after the 2008 economic

The current paper describes the deictic system of Kamaiurá, a language of the Tupí-Guaraní family. The Kamaiurá system of deictic demonstratives and adverbials has a high degree of complexity, including at least 17 different forms, of which several have different functions. The system codes four levels of Participant deixis, with proximal, medial, distal and far distal deixis. Forms can also code The current paper describes the deictic system of Kamaiurá, a language of the Tupí-Guaraní family.

Despite their widespread use in non-invasive studies of porous materials, conventional MRI methods yield ambiguous results for microscopically heterogeneous materials such as brain tissue. While the forward link between microstructure and MRI observables is well understood, the inverse problem of separating the signal contributions from different microscopic pores is notoriously difficult. Here, w

A growing body of work indicates that neural induction may be initiated prior to the establishment of the gastrula mesodermal organizer. Here, we examine neural induction in Xenopus embryos in which mesoderm induction has been blocked by Cerberus-short, a reagent that specifically inhibits Nodal-related (Xnr) signals. We find that extensive neural structures with cyclopic eyes and brain tissue are
