In this paper, I explore how Douglas Adams’ comedic 1979 science-fiction novel The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy could be used to improve English as a foreign language (EFL) learners’ understanding of irony. Specifically, the study is based on criteria for the English 5 course in Swedish upper secondary school and is performed using a combined theoretical framework of Dan Sperber and Deidre Wil
Uppsatsen undersöker synförlustens anledningar och innebörder i fyra verk: "Konung Oidipus" och "Oidipus i Kolonos" av Sofokles, "The Country of the Blind" av H. G. Wells, samt "Blindheten" av José Saramago. Gemensamt för samtliga studerade verk är synförlust, och analyserna har fokuserats på denna synförlusts respektive anledningar och innebörder, synförlus
Genom alla tider har migration varit ett frekvent inslag i människans utveckling. Idag har globaliseringen och de teknologiska framstegen möjliggjort ett än större flöde av människor världen över. De flesta länderna i den industrialiserade världen har en svag och i vissa fall till och med en negativ befolkningstillväxt samtidigt som många av u-länderna kämpar med en stark befolkningstillväxt.

Visionen när områden ska detaljplaneläggas för ny bebyggelse, i centrala delar av städer, är att skapa gaturum med stadsliknande karaktär. Önskan finns om att skapa mötesplatser och ett livfullt område. För att uppfylla denna vision har detaljplaner utformats utan kvartersmark mellan byggnader och allmän plats vilket innebär att husfasaderna går i användningsgräns till den allmänna platsen. FöljdeThe vision when municipalities are planning new areas is to create a feeling of urbanity and create vibrant and safe places. Usually the municipalities have designed the detailed development plan with a space between the public space and the buildings. Lately this place has been removed from many detailed development plans in central urban areas to fulfil the vision of urbanity. It means that balc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Omkring 16% av alla cancerfall i världen beräknas vara orsakade av infektioner och omkring 5% av dessa orsakas av humant papillomvirus (HPV). HPV har etablerats som orsak till livmoderhalscancer och kondylom (könsvårtor). HPV-typer som förekommer på hud har förknippats med icke-melanom hudcancer såsom skivepitelcancer (SCC) men också ofarliga hudhudförändringar som aktiAround 5% of all cancer cases worldwide are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) which has been established as the cause of cervical cancer and genital warts (condylomas). Cutaneous HPV types have been weakly associated with non-melanoma skin lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK). We have analyzed skin and genital lesions for presence of HPV-DNA in order to searc

The meteoritic material falling on Earth is believed to derive from large break-up or cratering events in the asteroid belt. The flux of extraterrestrial material would then vary in accordance with the timing of such asteroid family-forming events. In order to validate this, we investigated marine sediments representing 15 time-windows in the Phanerozoic for content of micrometeoritic relict chrom
Goal self-concordance has been shown to have enduring influences on behavior. It predicts sustained effort and increased goal-attainment. Compared to goals that lack self-concordance, self-concordant goals generate greater satisfaction and increased well-being. One research strand where vision and goal self-concordance have been studied as integrated dimensions in behavior-steering processes is wo
CONTEXT: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a cause of pain, numbness, and tingling in the hands and is an important cause of work disability.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of CTS in a general population. DESIGN: General health mail survey sent in Fe
The overall level of education is increasing in Europe. This article focuses on women's educational attainment and especially on differences in expansion rates in Germany, Portugal and Swedn. The author argues that an understanding of the expansion of the number of women in education must consider - in addition to the structure of the educational system - recent economic, demographic, social and c
By examining the reception of Edme Boursault’s first fable comedy, Ésope (1690), the paper discusses the historical prerequisites of an interlacing of fable and comedy. The several 18th century translations of Boursault’s drama often have been taken as a pretext for the success of his genre experiment. The fusion of fable and comedy was, however, not in all respects in line with literary horizons
Aims: A single cryoballoon (CB) application per vein for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) could save time and was therefore compared to the standard approach of two consecutive CB applications for acute and long-term efficacy and safety.Methods and results: Patients with symptomatic AF were randomized to a single CB application per vein guided by an Achieve®
The specific aim of this study is to investigate how a group of migrant rights activists in Sweden are positioned in news discourse. The more general aim of this study is to understand the conditions under which activists participate within news discourse. Through a critical discourse analytical (CDA) framework, with specific focus on the use of epistemic and dynamic modalities in the presentation
