The paper investigates possible effects of cross‐linguistic variation on measures of syntactic complexity in 60 texts from Swedish L1 learners of English, French and Italian as foreign languages at CEFR level A and CEFR level B. A previous study on the same learners and texts, showed significant differences between proficiency levels for two length measures of complexity in English and French, but

A new block-oriented language called Friend is proposed. It is designed to support for the implementation of flexible and adaptive embedded control systems. Requirements on a controller are specified using contracts. The use of contracts simplifies the design and implementation of embedded systems that can adapt to altered operating conditions. The contracts allow the system to negotiate about res

The consumption of industrially produced chicken meat has been on the rise in Bolivia, at the same time as the philosophy of Vivir Bien has gained national and international attention. This paper provides detailed insights into the production, distribution, and consumption of industrial chicken meat in Bolivia (with a focus on the Cochabamba region). It asks how this tendency stands in relationshi

Individualization of Children: A Critical Discourse Study of Childrens' Competence in Public Texts on Social Care of Children The aim of this study is to critically examine and discuss overarching notions and discourses on children and individualization, with a starting point in public texts within the field of social work with children. The empirical material has been two SOU-reports (“Swedi

DNA är en mycket viktig molekyl, eftersom den innehåller all vår genetiska information. DNA består av två komplementära strängar som tillsammans bildar en dubbelhelix. Varje sträng är en sekvens av nukleotider, med olika baser: adenin (A), tymin (T), guanin (G), och cytosin (C). A och T på olika strängar bildar baspar, likaså G och C. Därför kan man genom att läsa av ena strängen veta sekvensen påA simple coarse-grained model has been developed for the purpose of studying DNA melting and especially the formation of bubbles in the melting process. The inter-strand interaction includes terms for excluded volume and electrostatics, as well as a short-ranged attraction modelling hydrogen-bonding, differing for the two base pairs. Results were obtained by canonical Monte Carlo simulations. The

This thesis examines the impact of the European Cohesion Policy on regional economic performance during the funding periods of 2007-2013 and 2014-2020, using a Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) and spatial econometric techniques. The analysis leverages the eligibility rule, which grants additional funding to regions with a GDP per capita below 75\% of the EU average, creating a natural experim

OBJECTIVES: To reach agreement among experts on visual assessments of postural orientation errors (POEs) during the single-leg squat (SLS), and to use expert agreement assessments as ground truth for machine learning (ML) models to evaluate their ability to classify POEs.DESIGN: Methodological study with mixed-methods design.METHODS: POEs of the lower extremity and trunk were assessed from videos

Based on the perspective of frontline staff who work closely with adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) in group homes in Sweden, this article explores ethical dilemmas that arise when daily tasks intersect with efforts to achieve the disability policy goal of self-determination and the nature of close work relationships. Using the successive focus group interview method, the study highlights

Background: Long waiting times have been a significant problem in theSwedish health care system. A lack of matching of pathways of care has ledto long waiting times for patients, increasing medical risk and contributingtowards less effective capacity utilisation. There are different pathways into theelective healthcare system in Sweden, some via referral from a physician andothers via referral wri

This book examines how caseworkers are governed in today’s street-level bureaucracies. It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discour
