Nordic Perspectives on the Discourse of Things
This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as 'subject-oriented prose' or 'professional communication'. The authors examine the written text's capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in the importance of capturing and maintaining content as a manageable entity. The chapters each deal with a text type that manages complex content in a specialized way, including genre shifting in CSR reports, discourse networks in modern digital culture, digital and social media crisis communication, ...
Alvar Aalto Furniture
"The story of Alvar Aalto's furniture, from his first known work in 1919 to the latest bentwood variations by Artek, has been reconstructed here in four articles. Mr. Igor Herler, architect and scholar, reveals hitherto unknown designs of Aalto's youth ; Mr. Göran Schildt, Ph.D., author and Aalto's biographer, studies the evolution of his "trademark", the bentwood furniture, and the creation of the Artek company ; Ms. Marja-Liisa Parko, interior architect, formerly employed in the Artek Design Studio, recalls the relations between Aalto and the Artek Studio and touches on some of the technical aspects of production ; and finally, Ms. Elissa Aalto, Alvar's wife and partner, in collaboration with Ms. Marja-Riitta Norri, writes on fixed furniture in Aalto's architecture as an organic extension of his designs for standard furniture." -- p. 11.

Integrative Cardiology
Integrative Cardiology is an exploration of a new and much-needed perspective in cardiac care: the intelligent synthesis of conventional medicine with alternative approaches not typically part of Western medical curriculum. More than a blending of two approaches, this new perspective in cardiology highlights specific gaps in conventional heart care, and examines how alternative approaches may be ideally suited to address these missed opportunities.Cardiology is an ideal specialty for an integrative approach. Heart disease is largely preventable. The influence of nutrition, physical activity, metabolic factors, and emotional state on heart health is unmistakable, and the wide-angle lens of in...

Bayesian Phylogenetics
Offering a rich diversity of models, Bayesian phylogenetics allows evolutionary biologists, systematists, ecologists, and epidemiologists to obtain answers to very detailed phylogenetic questions. Suitable for graduate-level researchers in statistics and biology, Bayesian Phylogenetics: Methods, Algorithms, and Applications presents a snapshot of current trends in Bayesian phylogenetic research. Encouraging interdisciplinary research, this book introduces state-of-the-art phylogenetics to the Bayesian statistical community and, likewise, presents state-of-the-art Bayesian statistics to the phylogenetics community. The book emphasizes model selection, reflecting recent interest in accurately estimating marginal likelihoods. It also discusses new approaches to improve mixing in Bayesian phylogenetic analyses in which the tree topology varies. In addition, the book covers divergence time estimation, biologically realistic models, and the burgeoning interface between phylogenetics and population genetics.
Myndigheterna har ordet
I Myndigheterna har ordet presenteras undersökningar av texter och skrivande. Vem skriver, vem ansvarar för innehållet och hur används textmallar? Med hjälp av exempel från några stora myndigheter får vi en inblick i förutsättningarna för skrivande och i hur arbetet går till. Olika textgenrer analyseras och vi får veta hur mottagarna uppfattar dessa texter. Boken ger en bild av myndigheters skriftliga kommunikation av i dag jämfört med för tio år sedan. Exempelvis får vi veta att många texter är multimodala (innehåller, bilder, kartor osv.), att texterna har blivit längre medan meningslängden minskat och att du-tilltal är helt etablerat. Dessutom diskuteras dagens och morgondagens klarspråksarbete vid myndigheter. Boken vänder sig främst till skribenter på myndigheter, i kommuner och andra offentliga organ men också till språkforskare och andra som ur ett vetenskapligt perspektiv är intresserade av myndigheters kommunikation. Författare är Catharina Nyström Höög, professor i svenska vid Högskolan Dalarna och språkforskarna Hedda Söderlundh och Marie Sörlin. Tillsammans har de gjort undersökningar och skrivit manus till denna bok.
