Earth’s climate cooled markedly during the late Miocene from 12 to 5 million years ago, with far-reaching consequences for global ecosystems. However, the driving forces of these changes remain controversial. A major obstacle to progress is the uncertainty over the role played by greenhouse gas radiative forcing. Here we present boron isotope compositions for planktic foraminifera, which record ...

This study investigated athlete expressions and the impact that Olympian (OLY) role models have on athletes participating at the Youth Olympic Games (YOG), with a focus on the YOG educational program. The YOG educational program was created in 2010 and has not yet garnered extensive scholarly examination. Therefore, the aim of the current investigation was to develop an understanding of the impact ...

<p><b>Background</b> During sepsis, gram‐negative bacteria induce robust inflammation primarily via lipopolysacharride (LPS) signaling through TLR4, a process that involves the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchored receptor CD14 transferring LPS to the Toll‐like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor 2 (TLR4/MD‐2) complex. Sepsis also triggers the onset of disseminated intravascular ...

Are there specific qualities or traits of a Scandinavian concept of Academic Bildung to be found in higher education in the Scandinavian countries today? If there are, can and should we expect to find such traits in students going through net-based education? <p> <p>In this chapter we discuss what Academic Bildung is and should be in general, and what it is or has a potential to be, in higher ...

At the beginning of this book we asked: “How can universities educate students through net-based education and at the same time facilitate Academic Bildung?” Both from a society perspective, an institutional perspective, and a pedagogical and didactical perspective, we have discussed the question and we also here suggest some new questions.

Haegeman and Greco (2018, this volume) show that there are interpretational effects associated with Verb Second (V2) vs. non-V2 structures, viz. V3 structures. Among others, they illustrate that word order has a scopal effect. Compare (1a) and (1b) from West Flemish (Haegeman and Greco 2018: 21, this volume).

I denne artikkelen retter vi blikket mot kulturfestivalenes historiske rolle og funksjon i utviklingen av det samiske kunstfeltet, og ser nærmere på hvordan kulturfestivalene fungerer som ...

The understanding of the relationship between language, ethnic groups, and material culture in prehistory is still very limited, even within highly competent academic communities. To researchers without archaeological training it may be easy to make a direct association between archaeological cultures, distribution of signifi cant artefact types, and ethnic groups, especially as such explicit links ...
