We report an ethnographic and field-experiment-based study of time intervals in Amondawa, a Tupi language and culture of Amazonia. We analyse two Amondawa time interval systems based on natural environmental events (seasons and days), as well as the Amondawa system for categorising lifespan time (“age”). Amondawa time intervals are exclusively event-based, as opposed to time-based (i.e. they are b
Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen argumenterar författaren för att antisemitismen var självklar i Sverige årtiondena kring sekelskiftet 1900. Antisemitismen kom till uttryck bland annat i skämtpressen. Den sistnämnda utgjorde ett viktigt inslag i såväl den framväxande masskulturen som i den politiska kulturen. Det var inte minst via skämtpressen som bilden av "juden" som en "rastyp" skildIn this dissertation it is argued that anti- Semitism was self evident in Sweden at the turn of the century 1900. Through an analysis of the comic press, which was a crucial element in mass culture and political life, the author tries to demonstrate how the everyday version of a national Swedish identity was constructed in opposition to 'The Jew'.In the decades either side of 1900, anti-Semitism h
The term discriminate, in itself, simply means to make distinctions or discern differences. In that sense, to discriminate is to discern the difference between red and green when picking a red apple out of a fruit basket or to discern differences in physical appearance when noticing a friend in a crowd. Morally and legally, however, discrimination is used to denote a differentiation that is unfair
Background: Software quality issues are commonly reported when off shoring software development. Value-based software engineering addresses this by ensuring key stakeholders have a common understanding of quality. Aim: This work seeks to understand the levels of alignment between key stakeholders on aspects of software quality for two products developed as part of an offshore in sourcing arrangeme
The third generation (3G) cellular networks are starting to be deployed around the world. These networks are predicted to bring a vast number of IP enabled cellular terminals to the Internet. The limited address space of the current version of IP in the Internet, IPv4, has made the cellular industry decide to use IPv6 for these terminals. However, their success will largely depend on the availabil
The aim of the present paper is to explore the interrelated and complex relationships between religionsvetenskap (Religious Studies), religionskunskap (Religious Education) and religionsdidaktik (Religion and Education). After briefly outlining the concurrent developments of Religious Studies as a university discipline and Religion and Eudcation as a non-confessional school subject, both of which
We study the effects of counterfactual teacher-to-classroom assignments on average student achievement in U.S. elementary and middle schools. We use the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) experiment to semiparametrically identify the average reallocation effects (AREs) of such assignments. Our identification strategy exploits the random assignment of teachers to classrooms in MET schools. To acc
The magnon Hedin's equations are derived via the Schwinger functional derivative technique, and the resulting self-consistent Green's function (GF) method is used to calculate ground state spin patterns and magnetic structure factors for two-dimensional magnetic systems with frustrated spin-12 Heisenberg exchange coupling. Compared with random phase approximation treatments, the inclusion of a sel
In Fedotova and others v Russia issued on 17 January 2023, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court), held that Russia had breached its positive obligation to secure the applicants’ right to respect for their private and family life under Article 8 of the Convention by failing to provide any form of legal recognition and protection for same sex couples.In a pos
In this paper we study a variation of the random k-SAT problem, called polarized random k-SAT. In this model there is a polarization parameter p, and in half of the clauses each variable occurs negated with probability p and pure otherwise, while in the other half the probabilities are interchanged. For p=1/2 we get the classical random k-SAT model, and at the other extreme we have the fully polar
This concluding article assesses the past decade of international scholarship on the European Union (EU) and normative power as represented by the contributions to the special issue. It argues that the normative power approach (NPA) makes it possible to explain, understand and judge the EU in global politics by rethinking the nature of power and actorness in a globalizing, multilateralizing and mu
We present a recipe for building a portable DIY toolkit, entitled Kitchen-Based Light Tomography (KBLT) for performing tomography using visible light with low-cost and easily accessible components. We also present different use cases to mimic different challenges in tomography, such as imaging time evolving samples. All the software for motor controls, image acquisition, image reconstruction and a
Although the effects of captive offshoring on firm innovation have increasingly become a subject of study, the literature did so far not distinguish between the effects on introducing innovation as opposed to the effects their market diffusion. This distinction is important. By integrating insights from the innovation diffusion literature, we argue that the effects of captive offshoring on home ba
In this paper, we report the results from an experimental reproductive ethics study exploring questions about reproduction and parenthood. The main finding in our study is that, while we may assume that everyone understands these concepts and their relationship in the same way, this assumption may be unwarranted. For example, we may assume that if ‘x is y’s father’, it follows that ‘y is x’s child
The PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) is a school-based intervention shown to enhance student self-regulation, encourage prosocial behavior, and curb challenging behaviors. However, little is understood about students’ perspectives on theintervention. In this study, we conducted a survey and semi-structured interviews with 3rd-grade students in Sweden to examine their feelings and attitudes towards
Caffeine acts as a central nervous stimulant by blocking A1 and A2A adenosine receptors. Its effect on seizures is complex. Animal studies and case reports indicate that acute caffeine exposure may induce seizures, whereas chronic exposure might have an opposite effect. Patients acutely hospitalized for seizures (n=174) were asked for their consumption of caffeinated beverages 24. h prior to admis
