Actions and events are central to a semantics of natural language. In this article, we present a cognitively based model of these notions. After giving a general presentation of the theory of conceptual spaces, we explain how the analysis of perceptual concepts can be extended to actions and events. First, we argue that action space can be analyzed in the same way as, for example, colour space or

The customary way to determine whether an adopted Supplemental Instruction (SI) program has been successful or not is by comparing course results for two groups, SI attendees and non-attendees. The division of SI attendees and non-attendees is generally done rather arbitrarily by prescribing a minimum number of SI sessions a student has to attend to be considered an SI attendee. Although the SI at

In this paper, we consider the bootstrap procedure for the augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test by implementing the modified divergence information criterion (MDIC, Mantalos et al. [An improved divergence information criterion for the determination of the order of an AR process, Commun. Statist. Comput. Simul. 39(5) (2010a), pp. 865-879; Forecasting ARMA models: A comparative study of info

The object of this study is to investigate how and why the collects in Swedish lectionaries between 1562 and 2003 (lectionaries used in the Church of Sweden include both lessons and collects) have been changed. It focuses on the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as the transformation of the collects really starts with the lectionary issued in 1921. Collects from a number of editions of the lec

We consider steady symmetric gravity water waves on finite depth with constant vorticity and a monotone surface profile between crests and troughs. The problem is transformed into one concerning the vertical velocity. A representation formula for the stream function in terms of the surface and the vorticity is presented, and we show that the surface can be determined from the vertical velocity.

In previous studies on Supplemental Instruction (SI) relatively little attention has been paid to the “senior” students who lead the sessions. The focus in this study is on the benefits that the SI leaders gain from their SI experience. Data from one questionnaire directed at 35 students who recently completed their assignment as SI leaders, and another questionnaire directed at 20 former SI leade

Den här uppsatsen ämnar att tolka de tecken som införlivas när fantasy och mytologiska berättelser adapteras från text till bild. Fokuset ligger på två olika bilder, visandes två olika gravplatser, båda med en sörjande drottning och en död kung från två olika berättelser, från två olika tidsperioder. Panofskys ikonografiska metod kommer att tillämpas samtidigt som en semiotisk teori för avgöra betThis essay aims to interpret the signs incorporated in the adaptations of fantastical and mythological stories from text to image how they are used and what that reveals about the view of medieval ideals in their respective image. It focuses on two different images depicting two different graves, each with a mourning queen and a dead king from two different stories, from two different time periods

CERN is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, housing multiple accelerators that rely heavily on magnetic coils. These coils are integral to the generation of powerful magnetic fields essential for particle accelerator experiments, detectors, and other equipment. At CERN, a range of magnetic coils are utilized, many of which are custom-made and located in various research facilities

The purpose of this essay is to show how the Vinnova financed pilot project Internet of Things (IoT) can be regarded as an expression of the marketing of places as a management of control measure. The so-called Place marketing is a theory referring to the development of brands and identities in geographic regions as an instrument for political orientation as well as a transitional process. The stu

Uppsatsen undersöker hur ekonomiska system och inkomstskatterättsliga system inverkar möjligheten för Sverige att uppfylla Agenda 2030 och de globala målen. Det övervägande marknadsekonomiska system Sverige har idag, som även influerat inkomstskatterätten anses inte kompatibelt med ambitionen att uppfylla de globala målen. Istället undersöks hur en cirkulär ekonomi hade påverkat detta, både inom dThe essay examines hoe economic systems and income tax systems influence the possibility för Sweden to fulfil Agenda 2030 and the global development goals. The predominance of market economy theories that have influenced the Swedish system today is not considered compatible with the ambition to fulfil the global development goals. Instead the possibility of a circular economy is researched and wha

Protesting against human rights violations is dangerous. Worldwide, human rights defenders are subject to violations ranging from harassment to murder. One way in which human rights defenders are silenced is through the misuse of the national judicial system where it is employed to punish human rights defenders for their work. Vague laws contribute to making this possible because they obfuscate th

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda om armlängdsprincipen är förändrad samt vilken ställning OECD:s riktlinjer har vid tillämpningen av 14 kap. 19 § IL. Utredningen resulterade i uppfattningen att OECD:s version av armlängdsprincipen kan anses vara förändrad då riktlinjerna bland annat uppmuntrar omklassificering till en större grad. OECD:s vägledning fyller en funktion då 14 kap. 19 § IThe purpose of this essay has been to examine if the arm´s length principles has changed and which position the OECD guidelines has in the application of 14 kap. 19 § IL. The examination resulted in the opinion that OECDs version of the arm´s length principle can be considered changed as the guidelines now encourage reclassification to a higher degree. OECDs guidance fills a function as 14 kap. 19
