Moreover in times of cultural globalization local specificities dissolve. Nevertheless, there are trends, cultural traits, and influences of critical or intellectual tradition that persist.

A Scandinavian experience of register collaboration: the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA).

BACKGROUND The Nordic (Scandinavian) countries have had working arthroplasty registers for several years. However, the small numbers of inhabitants and the conformity within each country with respect to preferred prosthesis brands and techniques have limited register research. METHODS A collaboration called NARA (Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association) was started in 2007, resulting in a co...

The Nordic Dialect Database: Mapping Microsyntactic Variation in the Scandinavian Languages

We describe the development of a database containing informant judgments on a range of test sentences. The database is intended as a research resource for linguists interested in morphosyntactic variation across Scandinavian dialects. We present the data types contained in the base, and how they are used to create a user-friendly search interface. The database forms part of the efforts undertak...

Post-classicism in Tree Amplitudes

This is a short and simple introduction into perturbiners, that is, the solutions of field equations which are generating functions for tree amplitudes. The perturbiners have been constructed in Yang-Mills, in SUSY Yang-Mills, in gravity, and in sin(h)-Gordon.
