In this paper, the connection between the Matérn kernel and scale mixtures of squared exponential kernels is explored. It is shown that the Matérn kernel can be approximated by a finite scale mixture of squared exponential kernels through a quadrature approximation which in turn allows for (i) state space approximations of the Matérn kernel for arbitrary smoothness parameters using established sta

Artikeln behandlar det museala arbetet inom Kongl. Museum från 1790-talet till och med 1850-talet, med omgestaltade rum, förvärv av samlingar, konservatorernas arbete och Konstakademiens utbildning av konstnärer.

Mainstream research on self-stigma has portrayed it only as a reified self, that is, as collectively shared stereotypes representing individuals’ identity. Self-stigma viewed phenomenologically, however, elucidates what facilitates a st

An investigation on the different levels of interpretation of medieval architectural iconography. The architecture and sculpture of Lund cathedral is related to function, history, politics and religion.

In her dissertation Aspektuella hjälpverb i svenskan, Maria Bylin investigates the evolution of six aspectual auxiliaries in Swedish (bruka ‘use to’, tendera ‘tend to’, börja ‘begin’, fortsätta ‘continue’, sluta ‘stop’ and hota ‘threaten’). The study is conducted within the framework of grammaticalization, and Bylin’s primary method is to apply so-called auxiliary tests on a historical material co

En redogörelse för hur Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift bytte namn till Tidskrift för genusvetenskap när Cristine Sarrimo och Monika Edgren var redaktörer för tidskriften. I artikeln återges hur redaktionen resonerade kring namnbytet utifrån det genusvetenskapliga fältets förändring från ett tidigare fokus på kvinnor till ett breddat genusbegrepp.

The article is a presentation of the basic activities of the Swedish language board during the years 1987-1998 when I was its president. New possibilities and demands opened up with the development of computer technology. At the end of the 80ies I became aware of the possible linguistic effects of globalization upon national languages like Swedish and questions of national language policy were foc
