If semantic consequence is analyzed with extensive games, logical reasoning can be accounted for by looking at how players solve entailment games.

Moreover, although entailment games can naturally translate the idea of argumentation about a common ground, a cognitive in

Därför är det viktigt att examinationen inte bara testar ytliga kunskaper och beräkningsförmåga, utan även förståelse. I denna artikel diskuteras olika sätt att utvärdera studenternas förståelse genom att analysera resultaten på skriftliga tentamina. En fallstudie på Institutionen

In this article we describe Tibetan indigenous women's perceptions and experiences of their own health and life situation in Shichuan Province, China. Fifteen focus group discussions (FGDs) and 10 interviews were conducted. Repeat FGDs were used to empower the women and as a tool to collect data. Content analysis was used to analyze the data, and three subthemes were identified: 'shouldering respo

We have earlier shown that galectin-3, a lactose-binding mammalian lectin that is secreted from activated macrophages, basophils, and mast cells, induces activation of the NADPH oxidase in exudated but not in peripheral blood neutrophils (A. Karlsson, P. Follin, H. Leffler, and C. Dahlgren, Blood 91:3430-3438, 1998). The alteration in responsiveness occurring during extravasation correlated with m
