The study of the interaction between music and language is a small but rather active branch of musicology and linguistics. The two disciplines seldom meet. In this study we add a linguistic approach to our ethnomusicological knowledge. The cultural setting under study is Kammu, an Austroasiatic language spoken mainly in Laos. Kammu is a tone language where each syllable has a tone, either High or
DN DEBATT 2/2. Även om regleringen av läkemedel i Sverige är effektiv, tyder mycket på att förekomsten av förfalskade läkemedel tilltar. Ett nytt EU-direktiv som träder i kraft nästa vecka ska förhindra spridning av förfalskade läkemedel. Det skapar förutsättningar för att spåra och stoppa farliga produkter, skriver forskaren Susanne Lundin.
This study assesses the trade-offs between the conflicting objectives of reducing heating intensity and increasing daylight utilization in the context of Swedish residential spaces, specifically for a north oriented bedroom. The optimization process is conducted within the visual programming environment of Grasshopper, where the simulation engines of Energyplus, Radiance and Daysim are interconnec
Today’s communities are characterized by migration, transnationalism, and participation in the global economy, and many also have long local histories of linguistic diversity. Empowering individuals in these contexts means fostering the ability to use and expand their existing linguistic repertoires so they can take advantage of the social and economic opportunities afforded by contemporary life.
The base-quenched probe method for detecting single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) relies on real-time PCR and melting-curve approaches. Here, we applied the most common commercial fluorophores including FAM, HEX, CY5, CY3, TET, JOE, Texas Red and ROX for labeling probes to detect multi-mutations simultaneously according to the different fluorescence channels. Accuracy of the method was confirmed
Introduction: The interaction between different product policies will be crucial for the further advancement of a coherent product policy framework. The Commission has stated that ‘the complex and interlocking approach needed to build a resource-efficient Europe can only be achieved with a policy mix that optimizes synergies and addresses trade-offs between different areas and policies’. In the co
Immune cell-derived cytotoxic pathways have been implicated in antitumor immune responses. The goal of this study is to characterize how these cytotoxic pathways influence ovarian cancer development. We have utilized the TgMISIIR-TAg transgenic mouse model which expresses the transforming SV40 TAg in the ovary, leading to spontaneous development of ovarian tumors that closely mimic human epithelia
This paper is partly a summary of the book ‘From a grain of salt to the ribosome’ [1], with extension on some points. Sometimes the developments in science may be very rapid and not fully appreciated at all corners of the scientific society. Harry Clary Jones was a well-known chemist at Johns Hopkins University at the turn of the previous century. He had, in his earlier days, spent time in the lab
Sociologicial analyses of artistic practice have long drawn on theoretical traditions grounded in binaries and dualisms. Such analytical strategies, exemplified here by field theoretical approaches, center art objects and their movements in and across markets, where binaristic visions of art worlds do offer significant leverage. But when the analyst moves away from markets for art objects and look
Pregnancy leads to adaptations for maternal and fetal energy needs. The cardiovascular system bears the brunt of the adaptations as the heart and vessels enable nutrient supply to maternal organs facilitated by the placenta to the fetus. The components of the cardiovascular system are critical in the balance between maternal homeostatic and fetus driven homeorhetic regulation. Since lipids interse
When small quantum systems, atoms or molecules, absorb a high-energy photon, electrons are emitted with a well-defined energy and a highly symmetric angular distribution, ruled by energy quantization and parity conservation. These rules are based on approximations and symmetries which may break down when atoms are exposed to ultrashort and intense optical pulses. This raises the question of their
Preclinical assessment of the therapeutic potential of dopamine (DA) neuron replacement in Parkinson's disease (PD) has primarily been performed in the 6-hydroxydopamine toxin model. While this is a good model to assess graft function, it does not reflect the pathological features or progressive nature of the disease. In this study, we establish a humanized transplantation model of PD that better
