Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by disruptions between normally integrated subsystems that modulate the visuo-spatial representation of embodied consciousness. Similar disruptions in the coordination of cognitive processes, and corresponding alterations in cortical functional connectivity, have been observed in highly suggestible individuals following a hypnotic induction and afte
The plants in the ancient Roman garden were chosen with deliberation. These choices were ruled by the meaning and associations the plants conveyed to the garden visitors. Through a close reading of Latin literature and epigraphic sources (used here for the first time in relation to Roman gardens), as well as an examination of the archaeological record from Campanian garden excavations, I deal with
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns alltmer bevis för att både genetiska och tidiga miljömässiga faktorer spelar en väsentlig roll i uppkomsten av schizofreni genom att påverka tidig neuroutveckling. För att kunna analysera betydelsen av tidig neuroutvecklingsavvikelse för uppkomst av schizofreni, har vi studerat tidiga traumata, dvs obstetriska komplikationer (OCs), samt dysmorfogenes, dvs lindTo measure the importance of early neurodevelopmental disturbance for schizophrenia, early trauma and dysmorphogenesis (i.e. obstetric complications (OCs), minor physical anomalies (MPAs), head circumference (HC) and dermatoglyphic characteristics) were studied in relationship to adult neurodysfunction (i.e. neurological abnormality (NA), neurocognitive dysfunction (NCGD), tardive dyskinesia (TD)
Este estudio se hace en el marco de un trabajo de tesis doctoral sobre las estrategias de atenuación en conversaciones interculturales entre hablantes nativos de español peninsular y aprendices suecos de español. Como han mostrado múltiples estudios empíricos, la atenuación, así como la cortesía, las actividades de imagen, la argumentación y la interacción en general, está estrechamente vinculada
The butchering of wild boar during the Mesolithic in South Scandinavia has been studied through the analysis of cut marks on osteological remains from the sites Ageröd I:HC, Ringsjöholm, Tågerup and Bökeberg III in Scania, Sweden. The study reveals relatively high frequencies of cut marks from dismembering and filleting. The distribution of cut marks indicates a uniformity in the dismembering of w
Embedded systems are becoming increasingly networked and are deployed in application areas that require close interaction with their physical environment. Examples include distributed mobile agents and wireless sensor/actuator networks. The complexity of these applications make co-simulation a necessary tool during system development. This paper presents a simulation environment that facilitates s
This is a comprehensive analysis and description of slavery, globally, throughout history.
Popular Abstract in English This thesis presents data from rainforests of southeastern Nigeria. Pairs of protected and hunted of study sites were established in three different but adjacent protected areas: 1. Mbe Mountain Community Forest (MMCF, total area 80 km2); 2. Afi Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary (AMWS, total area 100 km2); and 3. Okwangwo division of the Cross River National Park (CRNP), totaThis thesis evaluates the effect of bushmeat hunting in southeastern Nigerian rainforests on: 1) adult tree, seedling, and animal community compositions 2) germination and survival among seedlings in association with competition 3) changes in community composition at multiple trophic levels 4) leaf nitrogen concentration (LNC), leaf mass per area (LMA) and stem specific density (SSD) 5) on human r
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer behöver kväve för att producera till exempel proteiner och DNA. I jorden förekommer kväve grovt indelat i två huvudformer, organiskt och oorganiskt. Mikroorganismer har förmågan att bryta ner det organiska kvävet till oorganiskt i en process som kallas för mineralisering. Växter tar i stort sett bara upp oorganiskt kväve och är beroende av den miMicroorganisms in forest ecosystems normally recycle nitrogen (N), such that gaseous losses and leaching are limited. Mobilization of organic N, including microbial N, and immobilization of inorganic N, especially NH4+, are the quantitatively most important N transformation processes. Various factors influence their rates, e.g. the amount of carbon and nitrogen, temperature, moisture, and the micr
In this study we investigate to what extent computer based discrete event simulation modeling can contribute to students’ learning processes in logistics and production management courses. Our interest in simulation stems from the fact that it is not possible to let students experiment with real logistics and production systems. This is an issue because the complexity and stochastic nature of thes
The resistivity method is an established geophysical method with a broad range of engineering and environmental applications. It has been tried numerous times on embankment dams, mainly for seepage investigations, dam status control and investigations of known defects. In previous use of the method on embankment dams some success has been reported, but only occasionally. The method is still not co
An overview of recent nuclear structure studies in the vicinity of the doubly-magic isotope Ni-56 is presented. Detailed spectroscopy of mirror nuclei, 'complete' high-spin spectroscopy, the gamma-decay out from superdeformed rotational structures, and prompt particle emission are some of the topics in the mass A similar to 60 regime which challenge the power of the 'big arrays'.
