Every two weeks, one of the world’s estimated 7,000 languages dies. Yet what are the consequences of having to give up one’s native language? Speakers of minority languages worldwide face barriers to using their languages outside their homes, often with negative consequences for educational and economic success. A new survey of the Indigenous Sámi in Sweden and Norway suggests that language polici

Hypothesis: The formation of a biomolecular corona on nanoparticle surfaces significantly influences their biological behaviour, particularly in drug delivery applications. Despite the prevalence of ingestion of particles (e.g, during oral drug delivery), our understanding of corona formation within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains limited, especially for non-protein components. The hypothe

1 This work demonstrates that spatial distribution of understorey vegetation and gross N transformation rates in a mixed beach-oak forest is closely correlated within a distance of a few metres. The findings imply that plant diversity and productivity have a major influence on gross rates of N transformation and vice versa. 2 A geostatistical analysis was used to evaluate the spatial relationship

This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with Sysskonhem AB, Brygghuset Finn and Applied Microbiology at the Faculty of Engineering, Lund University. With the knowledge of ginger beer being a sensitive product, the potential case where a consumer perceives or experiences quality deficiency in the product, the likelihood for Sysskonhem succeeding on the market diminishes radically. Th

Despite the increasing challenges twenty-first-century societies face in accommodating older adults, many misconceptions about old age before modernity continue to exist. These are rarely expressed in ‘formal theory’ produced by academics, but rather persist in ‘lay theory’ which is anchored in collective memory and popular culture. Such taken-for-granted beliefs are nevertheless influential, firs

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway which has led to the successful development of drug therapies that replace or stimulate this network pharmacologically. Although these drugs work well in the early stages of the disease, over time they produce side effects along with less consistent clinical benefits to the person with Parkinson's (PwP)

Radiative lifetimes of the highly exited states 3p(3)8s S-3(1)0 and 3p(3)6d D-3(1,2,3)0 of neutral sulphur have been measured using time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence. The sulphur atoms were generated in a laser-produced plasma. The investigated states were populated through a two-step process involving a two-photon excitation to the lowest excited tripler state of even parity 3p(4) P-3(0,1,

BACKGROUND: Both persons with intellectual disability (ID) and persons with dementia have high disease burdens, and consequently also high health care needs. As life expectancy increases for persons with ID, the group of persons with the dual diagnosis of ID and dementia will become larger.METHOD: Through national registries, we identified 7936 persons who had received support directed to persons

For a long time, married women were treated differently from married men in personal income tax acts (PITA’s) around the world. The Netherlands was no exception to this rule. The PITA reflected the political, religious and legal situation, but at the same time was often behind on developments in those areas. The current Dutch semi-individual tax system in which single earner families pay more tax

The development and manufacturing process for Integrated Circuits (ICs) has become complex and globally distributed. System integrators use a mix of custom made logic with third-party Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, untrusted software tools, and external actors for manufacturing, post-production test, and validation. The many untrusted actors involved throughout the IC’s lifetime become a secur

This paper aims to contribute to the discussion of the nature of the self-help housing market by analysing its extent and mode of operation in four self-help settlements in the intermediate sized city of Perdra, Colombia. The evidence from the survey settlements suggests that the market for self-help houses is small. Self-help settlements are dominated by a land market rather than by a housing mar

This chapter examines the livelihood strategies of young people living in three villages near the town of Bole in the Northern Region of Ghana, looking at their farming and fishing activities, nonfarm businesses in the village, and the role of migration in business establishment. The fieldwork on which the chapter is based was conducted in Bole District, one of 20 districts in the Northern Region,

Autoethnography is no longer a marginal anthropological practice but one that is taught at many universities worldwide. And this approach to empirical knowledge gathering and anthropological analysis forms the basis for hundreds if not thousands of publications, many of which are well cited and widely celebrated. The success of autoethnography is surely a cause for celebration. It is, however, als

Popular Abstract in Swedish I "Vilket svenskämne? Grundskolans svenskämnen i ett lärarutbildningsperspektiv" beskrivs hur en grupp blivande 1 till 7-lärare förhåller sig till olika svenskämneskonceptioner genom lärarutbildningen. Avhandlingen har det dubbla syftet att analysera och tolka de studerandes svenskämneskonstruktioner och att institutionsanalytiskt granska utbildningen. Det empiriska matWhich Swedish? Swedish as a school subject, from the perspective of teacher training describes how a group of future teachers of years 1 to 7 of the compulsory school relates to various concepts of the subject Swedish through three courses delivered at the School of Education. The study has the aim of analyzing the students' construction of the subject of Swedish as taught in school, and to analys
