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

Globalization is a widespread phenomenon that is having a strong influence on the modern society, creating both threats and opportunities. One of the most affected areas by the global pressures is the labor market, which requires specific policies and tools to respond to the increasing challenges. It is thus the task of the modern welfare states, to intervene in the attempt of transforming the glo

Denna uppsats beskriver det vietnamesiska rättsystemet och utreder hur de vietnamesiska domstolarna förhåller sig till den västerländska idén om vad som kännetecknar en rättsstat.

Green political parties are traditionally known to strive for radical systematic change in favor of the environment. The radical demands might limit the voter support and consequently the possibility of coalition collaborations. However, Green parties have permanently established themselves in various parliaments throughout Europe. This thesis argues that an ideological transformation has occurred

This work investigates the significance of the sentence-final particle 'ka' in modern Japanese by means of questionnaire and qualitative discussions with native informants. The Japanese language makes use of short words known as particles to indicate grammatical category. 'ka' is one such particle that can be used to indicate, among other things, the interrogative mood. Questions c

Challenger branding is a phenomenon that is gaining significant exposure in academia. However, most research on this branding approach relates to a practical or technical knowledge interest, ignoring the counter-hegemonic critique that exemplifies challenger branding. The critique that these brands base their identity on often shifts after they have been acquired into a hegemonic context, by joini

The urban population in developing countries was, in 2005, more than 2.3 billion people, which forms an increase by 7 times comparing to the situation in 1950. This is expected to increase even more, until it reaches 3.9 billion by 2030. A parallel urban growth results in high density cities and informal settlements and the creation of urban slums. Naturally, it is the urban poor who are not able
