The aim of the current study is to investigate motion event cognition in second language learners in a higher education context. Based on recent findings that speakers of grammatical aspect languages like English attend less to the endpoint (goal) of events than do speakers of nonaspect languages like Swedish in a nonverbal categorization task involving working memory (Athanasopoulos & Bylund,
The Darrieus–Landau instability is studied using a data-driven, deep neural network approach. The task is set up to learn a time-advancement operator mapping any given flame front to a future time. A recurrent application of such an operator rolls out a long sequence of predicted flame fronts, and a learned operator is required to not only make accurate short-term predictions but also reproduce ch
The encoding of goal-oriented motion events varies across different languages. Speakers of languages without grammatical aspect (e.g., Swedish) tend to mention motion endpoints when describing events (e.g., “two nuns walk to a house”) and attach importance to event endpoints when matching scenes from memory. Speakers of aspect languages (e.g., English), on the other hand, are more prone to direct
Programming is a cognitively demanding exercise. In particular, today’s software development requires a collective effort of programmers and the orchestration of a complex programming infrastructure. As disruptive technologies emerge, e.g., AI and quantum computing, the programming practice is undergoing a change, facing an uncertain future that we may not be able to accurately predict but can env

Traditional cardiovascular risk factors put patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with variants of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Patients and parents of children with variants of TOF–CHD were aske
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common cause of respiratory failure in the intensive care unit (ICU). Previous studies have suggested that blood group A increases the risk of developing ARDS following sepsis and major trauma. This study investigated the association between ABO and Rh blood groups and ARDS development and mortality in ARDS. Methods: Patients admitted to
This opening article introduces the reader to current topics in research on language and thought in monolingual speakers and second language (L2) learners, with particular attention to the domain of motion. The article also delineates the rationale that underlies the special issue at hand, and provides a contextualisation of the individual contributions. It is argued that the centrality of motion
Hur och i vilken omfattning högre lärosäten (universitet och högskolor) i Sverige samverkar med samhället har debatterats i media såväl som i forskningen. Denna artikel belyser den formaliseringsprocess som skett i kölvattnet av nya regleringar och politiska krav på samverkan. I studien analyseras officiella dokument och intervjuer med universitetsanställda vid två svenska lärosäten. Analysen fokuHow and to what extent higher education institutions in Sweden are collaborating with society has been debated in public media and in research. This article highlights the formalisation of the Swedish collaboration policy following a reinforced regulation and political pressures. In the study, official university documents and interviews with university employees at two Swedish universities are an
Despite a large literature on the importance of childhood neighborhoods for life course transitions, there is a lack of fertility studies combining a life-course perspective with detailed neighborhood measures. Addressing this gap, we use longitudinal data in which the entire population of a Swedish town is geocoded at the address-level, 1939–1967, and linked to national registers from 1968 to 201
In this work, we present a method to fabricate a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel with spatially controlled cell-adhesion properties based on photo-polymerisation cross-linking and functionalization. The approach utilises the same reaction pathway for both steps meaning that it is user-friendly and allows for adaptation at any stage during the fabrication process. Moreover, the process does not requi
This review article describes microfabrication techniques to define chemical, mechanical and structural patterns in hydrogels and how these can be used to prepare in vivo like, i.e. biomimetic, cell culture scaffolds. Hydrogels are attractive materials for 3D cell cultures as they provide ideal culture conditions and they are becoming more prominently used. Single material gels without any modific
From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) arrived in Sweden and sought asylum. The Church of Sweden has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. Conversion to Christianity among asylum seekers in Europe is a well-documented phenomenon that is often dismissed as merely a strategy to boost asylum chances. This dissertation
OBJECTIVES: Bacterial infections are common and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in multiple myeloma (MM). We have investigated the function of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN), the immune system's first line of defense against bacteria, in peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples from patients with newly diagnosed MM (NDMM), smoldering MM (SMM), monoclonal gammopathy of undeter
Denna rättsutredning har tillkommit på uppdrag av Utredningen om hantering av EU-medel och ingår som en bilaga i utredningens slutbetänkande SOU 2024:22 (bilaga 4). Det övergripande temat är strukturfondspartnerskapens rättsliga status, men även ett antal andra frågor med relevans för utredningens arbete berörs, såsom jäv.
The thesis revolves around the study of glycoside hydrolases (GH), specifically GH5 β-mannanases and GH36 α-galactosidase (I-III), as well as a GH130 mannoside phosphorylase (I, IV). These enzymes are investigated for their actions on and conversion of hemicellulosic β-mannan, including food-grade galactomannan and softwood galactoglucomannan, along with manno-oligosaccharides (MOS) derived from s
