Departing from a famous 19th century print published by Camille Flammarion, said to show the world and cosmos according to medieval beliefs, the author looks at the explorative character of Swedish landscape architect and artist Monika Gora, how it relates to spatial relations and to memory, with references to french philosopher Gaston Bachelard.

Many models of the nonnative acquisition of syntax build on the assumption that target lexical projections are developmentally prior to target functional projections (e.g. Minimal Trees (Vainikka & Young-Scholten 1994), Modulated Structure Building (Hawkins 2001)), or that learners only have to grapple with the acquisition of the topmost levels of syntactic structure (e.g. Vulnerable C-domain

Popular Abstract in Swedish Socialakrobat, världsförbättrare, soc-kärring. Benämningarna på socialarbetare har skiftat genom åren, liksom synen på yrket. I Fattigdomens besvärjelser skildras den svenska fattigvårdens förvandling till modern socialvård. Det är arbetets vardag som står i fokus, många gånger i kontrast till socialarbetarnas visionära förhoppningar. Vi får möta sekelskiftets filantroThe theme of this dissertation is how changing claims as to what is proper and true social work have been formulated and staged in the twentieth century. From the perspective of cultural analysis I seek to discuss how social work has been formed and changed over a century. I wish to demonstrate how descriptions and narratives, actions and gazes, practice and rhetoric have constituted a changing pr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer finns överallt i naturen, till exempel i form av stärkelse, cellulosa, DNA. Människan har också skapat syntetiska polymerer som bland annat används i plaster, färger, och kläder. Potatisstärkelse används bland annat i matlagning. En liten mängd stärkelse får en sås att tjockna. Allmänt används vattenlösliga polymerer mycket ofta som förtjockare eller gelbildarAqueous mixtures of hydrophobically modified polymers (HMP) with amylose have been investigated by rheology and 1H NMR. Amylose can cross-link HMP chains by forming single-helical inclusion complexes with the hydrophobic side chains of the HMP, leading to thermoreversible, elastic, and thixotropic gels at ambient temperatures. The complexation ability, the strength of the association, and the visc

We show that the problem of constructing a minimum directed Steiner tree of depth O(log(d)n) in a directed graph of maximum outdegree d admits an expO(root logn)-approximation in polynomial time.
