Language is a social phenomenon used for communication and to convey messages from one individual to another. The systemic-functional approach embraces the linguistic expression of the Sermon, the co-text, as well as its paralinguistic reference points, the context. The Sermon on the Mount is probably the most well-known passage of text in the New Testament and is a structured discourse with far-r

Although the field of polarity is well researched, this monograph offers a new take on polarity sensitivity that both challenges and incorporates previous theories. Based primarily on Swedish data, it presents new solutions to long-standing problems, such as the non-complementary distribution of NPIs and PPIs in yes/no-questions and conditionals, long distance licensing by superordinate elements a

Just like the first theories in physics viewed atoms as independent and surrounded by a void, our bodies’ microscopic constituents are often portrayed as disconnected from the body as a unified organism, and from its cultural and social contexts. In The Atomized Body the authors examine the relations between culture, society and bioscientific research and show how our bodies’ singularized atoms in

The HOO radical is a key intermediate in the atmosphere and is involved in a large number of reactions, including ozone loss cycles in the stratosphere and oxidation processes in the troposphere. This theses is a study of the HOO radical and its interactions with a number of small molecules that are present in the atmosphere. The HOO complexes were formed on the surface of growing argon matrices

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under de senaste åren har det varit möjligt att skönja hur fenomenet eller begreppet varumärken har spridits från den traditionella marknadsföringsdiskursen och marknadsförare till varnliga konsumenter och deras vardagsdiskurs. Konsumenter kan därför förväntas besitta någon form av förståelse för hur märken som fenomen fungerar. Denna studie fokuserar på hur en sådan vaDuring the recent years the concept or phenomenon of brands and the importance ascribed to them by the traditional marketing discourse seems to have spread to the every day discourse of ordinary consumers. Consumers are therefore thought to posses some kind understanding of how brands as a phenomenon work. This study sets out to investigate how consumers construct such a brand understanding, and w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur tillgängligt är EU för asylsökande? Står Unionens rättsregler i strid med folkrätten? Om så är fallet, hur löser vi konflikten dem emellan? Besitter vi alls medel för att lösa grundläggande konflikter om hur långt rätten skall skydda "utomstående"? Denna avhandling söker svar på frågorna genom att kombinera formaljuridik med statsvetenskapliga förklaringsmodeller. MHow are access to asylum and other forms of extraterritorial protection regulated in the European Union? Is the EU acquis in these areas in conformity with international law? What tools does international law offer to solve conflicts between them? And, finally, is law capable of bridging the foundational oppositions embedded in migration and asylum issues? This work combines the potential of legal

We look at the stability of survey based subjective time preferences over time. Using data from a Dutch panel survey spanning the period 1998 to 2012, the stability of subjective time preferences at the aggregate level and at the individual level are studied. While aggregate preferences are clearly unstable, individual subjective time preferences are relatively stable over time. In order to shed l

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom är ett tillstånd som kännetecknas av att magsyra åker upp i matstrupen (reflux). Reflux är ett normalt fenomen som förekommer hos alla individer utan att orsaka symtom eller vävnadsskador. Hur detta normaltillstånd utvecklas till ett sjukdomstillstånd är ej helt klarlagt. Reflux förhindras normalt av en barriär vid övergången mellan matstruThere is a persisting controversy concerning the definition, etiology and pathogenesis of Barrett's esophagus. The dramatic and parallel increase in the incidence of esophageal and junctional adenocarcinoma over the past decades justifies an evaluation of the pathophysiology of premalignant metaplastic changes of the esophagus and the gastroesophageal junction. Patients were evaluated with upper G

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår galax, Vintergatan, är en spiralgalax som innehåller bortåt 200 miljarder stjärnor. En mörk natt kan man urskilja ca 3000 av dessa på himlavalvet. Tittar man noggrant så kan man också se ett diffust ljusband som sträcker sig genom, bland andra, stjärnbilderna Skytten och Cassiopeia. Detta diffusa band är det samlade ljuset från alla de miljarder stjärnor i VintergatThe origin and evolution of the thin and thick disks in the Galaxy have been studied by means of detailed stellar abundances. High-resolution spectra of 102 F and G dwarf stars have been obtained with the spectrographs on the ESO 3.6-m and ESO 1.5-m telescopes on La Silla (Chile), the Very Large Telescope (VLT) on Paranal (Chile), and the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma (Canary Islands,
