Palms tal har betraktats som startskottet för den socialistiska rörelsen i Sverige. Efter talet färdades Palm landet runt för att agitera och organisera. Talet har därmed fått en närmast symbolisk betydelse inte min

Proposals that gesture played a pivotal role in the evolution of language have been highly influential. However, there are many differences between gestural origin theories, including different definitions of 'gesture' itself. We use a cognitive semiotic approach in order to categorize and review these theories. A semiotic system is a combination of signs or signals of particular type, defined by

As the sector confronts aging infrastructure and climate change, digital transformation becomes essential, yet risk-averse cultures create barriers to adoption. Through a qualitative multi-case study of five organizations, three DT adopters, one non-adopter, and on

Traditional risk stratification tools often perform poorly in this population. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a biomarker of inflammation and fibrosis, may reflect biological aging and resilience, potentially improving early mortality risk assessment.Ob
