This chapter critically analyses SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth) and its targets from the perspective of degrowth, and suggests how the economy and work could be reoriented towards socio-ecological transformation. First, it problematizes the goal of perpetual economic growth, which is not compatible with ecological sustainability because of the impossibility of decoupling GDP growth from m

ABSTRACT In 2021, we were designing a research study in Sweden in which we planned to use newspaper articles focusing on children and adolescents under the age of eighteen during the Covid-19 pandemic as empirical material. As we developed this study, an ethical question arose: do studies using journalistic articles that may contain health information about individuals as empirical material have t

BACKGROUND: The head-up tilt test (HUT) and other evidence suggest that the vagal effect on the heart decreases with age.OBJECTIVES: The main aim of the study was to assess whether this age effect also affects the rate of asystole in spontaneous reflex syncope (RS).METHOD: We performed an analysis of pooled individual data from 4 studies that recruited patients ≥40 years of age affected by certain

According to the dual route model of word processing (Pinker & Prince, 1991),morphologically irregular and frequent words are stored in the lexical memory as full-form neural representations. In contrast, regular and infrequent words are decomposed into morphemes. So far, it has been unclear whether a tonal element―a lexical word accent―is treated by the brain as a decomposable component or an

Background: Pragmatics is the functional use of language in ever-changing social contexts. One early pragmatic ability is decontextualized language;to talk about events and things beyond here and now. Pragmatic difficulties are practically universal in ASD, but we don’t know about impairmentsin early pragmatic development. Further, the roles of early socio-communication and linguistic abilities in

Logoped Maja Rudling disputerade i mars 2023 inom psykologi på Uppsala universitet. Avhandlingen ”Facilitators of communication and the development of autism” handlar om tidig utveckling av autism, med fokus på sociala och kommunikativa aspekter under de första två levnadsåren. Arbetet med avhandlingen var en del av den longitudinella småsyskonstudien ”Projekt Småsyskon” och sammantaget belyser de

This paper examines European narratives regarding border externalisation within the context of the European Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF). It seeks to understand how the EU shapes its discourse on African migration, recommends solutions, and evaluates outcomes. As the latest and most comprehensive instrument for externalising migration management, the EUTF offers abundant source material to compreh

Rapporten sammanfattar det forskningsprojekt, finansierat av Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, som Rebecca Selberg utfört inom verksamhetsområde intensiv- och perioperativ vård (IPV) vid Skånes universitetssjukhus januari 2021 – juni 2022. Rapporten bygger på djupintervjuer och observationer, samt på en strategisk genomgång av tidigare forskning kring krishantering och covidpandemins effekter på vårdpers

Previous research has identified good communication as one of several key factors essential for destination resilience. However, there has been a lack of research on how communication contributes to this development. To address this gap, this study explores the communication work done by Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) with stakeholders to influence destination resilience. The study ex

Brief admission by self-referral, which allows patients to briefly admit themselves to a psychiatric ward, is a crisis intervention designed to reduce suicide and self-harm. This method was introduced in Sweden for adult patients in 2015, achieving high patient satisfaction and good acceptance among staff. In 2018, the method was adapted and implemented in pediatric psychiatry. The present study c

The Máaz formation consists of the first lithologies in Jezero crater analyzed by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover. This formation, investigated from Sols (Martian days) 1 to 201 and from Sols 343 to 382, overlies the Séítah formation (previously described as an olivine-rich cumulate) and was initially suggested to represent an igneous crater floor unit based on orbital analyses. Using SuperCam da
