Grammaire de base sur la langue paloor au Sénégal
- 2016
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna grammatiska analys av canginspråket paloor [fap] tar upp grundläggande fonologiska och morfologiska aspekter i språket. De fonologiska aspekterna tar förutom fonomsystemet upp fonologiska processer. Morfologin tar upp nominal- och verbfrasen. Nominalfrasen behandlar klass-systemet och bestämningar, t.ex. demonstrativer, possessiver och adjektiv. I kapitlen om verbfrasen analyseras tempus och aspekt både i affirmativa och negerade satser. Även kopulan diskuteras. Det sista kapitlet ägnas åt avledningar, både nominala och verbala, vilka är vanligt förekommande i språket. Paloorspråket uppvisar påfallande likheter med bantuspråken, i synnerhet beträffande substantivklasser och avledningar.

Lexique, langue cangin paloor - français
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- La langue paloor / palor [fap] au Sénégal est une langue cangin de la branche atlantique dans la famille Niger-Congo. Elle est parlée par la population paloor qui est estimée à 22 000 personnes. Comme plusieurs d’autres langues au Sénégal, elle risque à disparaître dû à la wolofisation. Le lexique est un recueil de mots (environ 1700) issus des productions littéraires paloor ainsi qu'un nombre d'autres mots paloor courants. L’orthographe suit celle de la codification faite en 2012 par la Direction de l’Alphabétisation et des Langues Nationales. L’alphabet paloor est conforme à l’alphabet sénégalais. La version de ce lexique est un premier essai et elle devrait être considérée comme le début de la collecte du vocabulaire paloor.

Neesoh coosaani gini Barat (Documentation sur le village Mbadat en langue cangin paloor) : Se rappeler de l'histoire du village de Mbadat
- 2016
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The publication documents the Paloor village Mbadat in Senegal. The old village does not longer exist. The village people has been moved because of the construction of the new international airport on the site. The publication is the third one written in the Cangin language Paloor. Parts of the village history, traditions and cult places are documented and illustrated with photos. The texts are written with the codified orthography, which was ratified by the governmental institution” la Direction de l’Alphabétisation et des Langues Nationales” on the 12 and 13 September, 2012. This means that the language is promoted as a national language, the twenty-first one in Senegal. The book is done within the language project “Capacity building with a focus on mother tongue development in the Senegalese civil society; the Paloor language, phase 2”, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency channeled through Swedish Mission Council and Language&People (Folk&Språk), Sweden.

- 2015
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The publication documents the Paloor village Mboul in Senegal. It is the second publication in the Cangin language Paloor. Parts of the village history, traditions and holy plants are documented and illustrated with photos. Also, a text on the way a traditional healer works as well as a fable are included. The texts are written with the codified orthography, which was accepted by the governmental institution la Direction de l’Alphabétisation et des Langues Nationales on the 12 and13 September, 2012. The work is done within the frame of a language project, funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency channeled through Swedish Mission Council and Language&People, Sweden.

Acute phase markers in CSF reveal inflammatory changes in Alzheimer's disease that intersect with pathology, APOE ε4, sex and age
- 2021

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- It is unknown how neuroinflammation may feature in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We profiled acute phase response (APR) proteins (α1-antitrypsin, α1-antichymotrypsin, ceruloplasmin, complement C3, ferritin, α-fibrinogen, β-fibrinogen, γ-fibrinogen, haptoglobin, hemopexin) in CSF of 1291 subjects along the clinical and biomarker spectrum of AD to investigate the association between inflammatory changes, disease outcomes, and demographic variables. Subjects were stratified by Aβ42/t-tau as well as the following clinical diagnoses: cognitively normal (CN); subjective cognitive decline (SCD); mild cognitive impairment (MCI); and AD dementia. In separate multiple regressions (adjusting for diagnosis, age, sex, APOE-ε4) of each APR protein and a composite of all APR proteins, CSF Aβ42/t-tau status was associated with elevated ferritin, but not any other APR protein in CN and SCD subjects. Rather, the APR was elevated along with symptomatic progression (CN < SCD < MCI < AD), and this was elevation was mediated by CSF p-tau181. APOE ε4 status did not affect levels of any APR proteins in CSF, while these were elevated in males and with increased age. The performance of the APR in predicting clinical diagnosis was influenced by APOE ε4 status, sex, and age. These data provide new insight into inflammatory changes in AD and how this intersects with pathology changes and patient demographics.

Dry season forage assessment across senegalese rangelands using earth observation data
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Strengthening of feed security in the Sahel is urgently needed given the climate change and growing human population. A prerequisite to this is sustainable use of rangeland forage resources for livestock. Many studies have focused on the assessment of rangeland resources during the rainy season, while only a few have focused on the dry season which is the longest and most demanding period for livestock in Sahelian rangelands. The objective of this study is to develop remote sensing-based models for estimating dry season forage vegetation mass. To that end, 29 vegetation indices calculated from each of the MODIS-MCD43A4 (500 m), Landsat-8 (30 m), and Sentinel-2 (10 m) satellite products were used and tested against in situ data collected during three field-measurement campaigns in 2021 at eleven monitoring sites across Senegalese rangelands. Four statistical models were tested, namely, random forest, gradient boosting machines, and simple linear and multiple linear regressions. The two main vegetation mass variables modeled from remote sensing imagery were the standing herbaceous and litter dry mass (BH) and total forage dry mass (BT) with a dry mass of woody plant leaves added to BH. Overall, Sentinel-2 data provided the best performance for the assessment of BH with multiple linear regression (R2 = 0.74; RMSE = 378 kg DM/ha) using NDI5 (Normalized Difference Index5), GRCI (Green Residue Cover Index), SRI (Simple Ratio Index), TCARI (Transformed Chlorophyll Absorption in Reflectance Index), and DFI (Dead Fuel Index) indices. For BT, the best model was also obtained from Sentinel-2 data, including RVI3 (Ratio Vegetation Index3) (R2 = 0.78; RMSE = 496 kg DM/ha). Results showed the suitability of combining the red, green, blue, NIR, SWIR1, and SWIR2 bands in monitoring forage availability during the dry season. Our study revealed that the spectral richness of the optical sensor systems Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, and MODIS-MCD43A4 allowed for accurate assessments of dry-season forage mass of semi-arid rangelands. Adding to this, the high spatial and temporal resolution of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery makes this a promising data source for timely monitoring. These findings can support the monitoring of the animal feed balance in Sahelian countries and contribute to enhancing the resilience of pastoralism toward feed shortage through early warning systems.
