The Swedish migration to America during the late 19th century and early 20th century was once the subject of a major research project at the University of Uppsala, called “Sweden and America after 1860”. The research project produced a large amount of dissertations on why, where and how people migrated as well as some research on what happened to the migrants in America. The return migration, desp
Discourse theory methodology provides an alternative and novel framework for human rights implementation as a topic of legal research. By conceptualising implementation of international human rights norms in a national legal context as a play of discourses competing for hegemony, it becomes possible to explore the workings of human rights constructions as well as where and how implementation fails
Systems with two types of agents with a preference for heterophilous interaction produce networks that are more or less close to bipartite. We propose two measures quantifying the notion of bipartivity. The two measures-one well known and natural, but computationally intractable, and the other computationally less complex, but also less intuitive-are examined on model networks that continuously in
Abstract The Syntax of the Swedish Present Participle offers a generative analysis of the Swedish present participle with the central goal of accounting for its distribution and function. The analysis offered rests on three hypotheses: (i) Present participles are verbs, (ii) Present participles can appear in complex predicates, and (iii) Adjunct present participial clauses may be interpreted throu
The sequence of 15.7 kb from the human semenogelin gene locus has been determined. Together with previously published sequences, this gives the structure of a 28-kb region encompassing the two semenogelin genes. The two transcription units are separated by 11616 bp intergenic DNA comprising more than 40% repetitive DNA sequences, predominantly located to a 4-kb block of L1 and Alu repeats. Two mor
This dissertation addresses the need for easier construction and extension of language tools. Specifically, the construction and extension of so-called semantic editors is considered, that is, editors providing semantic services for code comprehension and manipulation. Editors like these are typically found in state-of-the-art development environments, where they have been developed by hand. The

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) functions as an important regulator of fibrinolysis by inhibiting both tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. PAI-1 is produced by smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in atherosclerotic arteries, but the mechanisms responsible for induction of PAI-1 in SMCs are less well understood. In cultured human aortic SMCs, PAI-1 mRNA expression and protein sec
Interest in learning in mature adulthood has become increasingly important as attention has been focused on what is seen to be an impending crisis in the near future, i.e., shortage of labour due to the ever-growing number of elderly and decreasing nativity rates. In some circles "alarmist demographics" have overshadowed an arguably more important concern, that of providing for aging individuals'
In this lecture, we will discuss the emergence of the semiotic function, both ontogenetically and phylogenetically, and we will consider the part played by the picture sign in this development. In order to demonstrate that pictures are indeed signs, we will explore the basic elements of the sign presupposed but never put into focus neither by Saussure nor by Peirce. Indeed, explorations in the psy
