Time is a fundamental aspect of human cognition and action. All languages have developed rich means to express various facets of time, such as bare time spans, their position on the time line, or their duration. The articles in this volume give an overview of what we know about the neural and cognitive representations of time that speakers can draw on in language. Starting with an overview of the

Redan romarna anlade fältsjukhus i natursköna områden för att rehabiliteringen skulle fungera bra. Även i modern tid har man uppfört sjukhus i parkmiljöer i syfte att förbättra hälsan hos patienterna. Sjukhusen har gärna utformats så att det är lätt att ta sig ut till de omgivande markerna, fönstren vetter utåt och trädgårdar planeras för att ge patienterna kontakt med naturmiljön. I slutet av 180

Flame flashback from the combustion chamber to the premixing section is a major operability issue when using high H-2 content fuels in lean premixed combustors. Depending on the flow-field in the combustor, flashback can be triggered by different mechanisms. In this work, three flashback mechanisms of H-2/CH4 mixtures were visualized in an atmospheric variable-swirl burner using high speed OH* che

Public procurement for innovation is a matter of using public demand to trigger innovation. Empirical studies have demonstrated that demand-based policy instruments can be considered to be a powerful tool in stimulating innovative processes among existing firms. However, the existing literature has not focused on the role this policy instrument can play in the promotion of (knowledge-intensive) en

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera den företagsinterna implementeringsprocessen rörande Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning i några företag, diskutera inställningen till Koden och dess självregleringsprincip, samt söka samband mellan dessa beståndsdelar och hur väl företagen följer bestämmelserna. Metod: Vår kvalitativa undersökning baseras på en tidigare utförd kvantitativ studie

This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and

Finding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time -- a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics -- is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula. In principle, it applies to any smooth process multivariate both in argument and in value given that efficient numeFinding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time—a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics—is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula.

At a time when international tourist arrivals hit a new record year on year, the result is increased conflicts and impacts worldwide. Tourism geography has thus never played a moreimportant role in bridging the gaps between qualitative and quantitative as well as human and physical sciences. Increased tourism pressure is likely to have adverse social and environmental effects in many destinations.

A class of plane stress problems for incompressible materials is studied. The class concerns problems for unidirectionally reinforced thin sheets under quasi-static loading conditions.

Boken behandlar det äldsta statliga konstmuseet i Sverige, Kongl. Museum i Stockholms slott, med beaktande av dess tillkomsthistoria, samlingarnas ursprung och uppställning samt överförandet till Nationalmuseum i mitten av 1860-talet. Publikationen bygger på forskning om föremålen och dokumentation i arkiven och ger en helhetsbild som i flera avseenden korrigerar tidigare uppfattningar och ger en

Stricter building regulations have resulted in the construction of buildings with a low energy use during the operation phase. It has now become increasingly important to also look at the embodied energy, because it might, over the lifespan of the building, equal the energy used for operating the building. One way to decrease the embodied energy is to reuse building materials and components or to

Power consumption is an important design parameter for battery operated devices, and an especially sensitive issue in embedded Java systems. This paper presents a solution to reduce leakage power consumption of the heap memory characteristic of Java processors. By partitioning the heap into several memory banks and taking advantage of a compacting garbage collector, our method dynamically powers o
