I denne artikkelen presenteres en empirisk studie av grammatisk kjønn og bøyningsklasse hos 47 andrespråksinnlærere av norsk i talespråkskorpuset NorInt Tale. Målet er å undersøke i hvilken grad innlærerne har grammatisk kjønn som del av sin andrespråkskompetanse. Resultatene viser at selv om talerne har en høy grad av målspråkslikhet totalt, skjuler dette en betydelig lavere målspråkslikhet med ...

In his letter to the Romans, as well as in his letter to the Galatians, St. Paul presents us with an insightful account of antinomianism, that is, a critique of the law. It poses a very interesting challenge to Kant’s law conception of ethics. In fact, the Paulinian caveat seems to anticipate some of the criticism that Kant’s confidence in the moral law has encountered. To this day, Friedrich ...

Carbapenem resistance caused by metallo-β-lactamases is a serious global challenge that, if not tackled efficiently, is expected to lead to millions of deaths in the coming decades. Verona-integron encoded metallo-β-lactamase 2 (VIM-2) is a bacterial enzyme that has been reported from multidrug-resistant nosocomial isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other Gram-negative pathogens. As it hydrolyzes ...

This Master’s thesis explores the Abraham Accords and the Iran Nuclear deal in order to compare former presidents Trump and Obama on their approaches to multilateralism in security cooperation in the Middle East. This relates to their efforts in resolving conflicts and attempts at stabilising the region and will look at the specific impacts of the two deals, as well as detail how and why the deals ...

Purpose: To investigate whether retinal vessel calibre measurements on optical retinal photography are affected by light and dark exposure prior to photography and whether the vessel calibre changes during an imaging sequence of several images. <p>Methods: Digital optical retinal photographs were obtained from 32 healthy adults in two separate image sequences of six images during 1 min; one ...

In this study, two ridge-shaped cross-valley sedimentary landforms, in the lower forefield of Aldegondabreen, a small valley glacier on the west coast of Spitsbergen, Svalbard, were studied to reconstruct the Holocene glacial history of Aldegondabreen prior to the Little Ice Age. Sedimentological and geomorphological methods were used in conjunction with radiocarbon dating to examine the sediments ...

This dissertation investigates the phonology of Italiot Greek (IG) from both a synchronic and a diachronic perspective, pursuing two core objectives: first, to provide an up-to-date description of the phonological system of IG, highlighting the deviations from Medieval Greek as well as the vast cross- and intra-dialectal variation, and, second, to account for the typological changes IG has undergone ...

<p>The boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas is well known to have inherently fluctuating parameters. Advances in experimental measurements and numerical computations have revealed that the fluctuation-driven transport of particles and heat across the magnetic field lines is mainly dominated by the radial motion of blob-like filament structures. These structures, which are localized in ...

From the perspective of psychiatric and mental health nurses in Sweden, this discussion paper aims to position psychiatric and mental health nursing as a transformative force contributing to enforcing person-centered values and practices in health care. We argue the potential impact of psychiatric and mental health nursing on service user health and recovery, nursing student education and values, ...
