Shaky Constructions

I aim to examine what should be demanded of a constructivistic theory trying to describe the construction of a human belief-system. My claim is that such a theory cannot allow entities in the description of how a human being constructs the world he or she lives, that are not allowed in the act of constructing the life-world. I will argue that the only coherent theories describing this activity are

Effects of age of acquisition (AoA) and proficiency on processing of syntax in 6- to 8-year old monolingual and bilingual children: an ERP study

Even though language proficiency in children is strongly related to success in almost all domains, neurocognitive studies of L2 processing are typically limited to adults with several years of exposure, who may use general cognitive mechanisms to compensate for any difficulties in L2 processing. For example, whereas previous studies of adult bilinguals have reported differences in the anterior neg

Betydelsen av etnicitet – unga brottsoffers gestaltningar

Det paper som kommer att presenteras vid Sociologförbundets årsmöteskonferens fokuserar särskilt på hur några "etniskt svenska" unga män, som blivit utsatta för misshandel eller rån av unga män med annan etnisk bakgrund än "svensk", omtalar och behandlar etnicitet i samtal om våld och offerskap. Ett antal olika berättelser om brottet – där etnicitet i någon mening är centralt – analyseras. I den a

Constitutive Model for Short-Time Loading of Concrete

A constitutive model based on nonlinear elasticity is proposed, where the secant values of Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio are changed appropriately. This alteration is obtained through the use of a nonlinearity index that relates the actual stress state to the failure surface. The model simulates the strain hardening before failure, the failure itself and the strain softening in the post-fail

Constructing error-correcting codes with huge distances

The class of error-correcting convolutional codes is commonly used for reliable data transmission in mobile, satellite, and space-communication. Demanding simultaneously larger capacities and smaller error probabilities, convolutional codes with large free distances are needed. Such convolutional codes are in general characterized by large overall constraint lengths, increasing the complexity of d
