This study investigates how different acoustic environments and spelling manipulations affect the reading process by applying eye tracking methodology. Participants are asked to read sentences while either listening to babble noise or not being exposed to any acoustic stimuli. It was generally possible to understand semantic chunks of the babble noise but not the discourse. The reading material wa

Climate change is an urgent global issue affecting millions of people and several ecosystems. However, there is a significant gap between what has been done and what is needed for climate change adaptation. Conservation areas play a crucial role in responding to climate change by providing essential ecosystem services and supporting biodiversity and human adaptation. However, there is a lack of re

Coronapandemin slog hårt mot den svenska sjukvården. För att bidra till hittills knapphändiga litteraturen inom effektivitetsanalys av coronapandemin använder sig uppsatsen av de icke-parametriska metoderna Data envelopment analysis (DEA) och Malmquist-index för att utöka förståelsen för hur den effektiviteten utveckladesfrån innan till under pandemin. Med data på regionnivå specificerades en inpu

This paper investigates what can promote green energy projects on land which consist of solar and wind power. The research is done with an economic geographic framework of path-development. A paradigmatic case study is conducted with scientific semi-structured interviews and short “pop-up interviews” which validated the in-depth interviews. These pop-up interviews also highlight further points and

Upplevelser hos människor som söker asyl eller flyktingstatus präglas av olika prövningar och svåra upplevelser innan, under och efter migrationen, vilket gör dessa individer mer mottagliga för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa.

False denial is a deceptive strategy involving the refusal of knowledge or actions. Previous studies have reported the denial-induced forgetting (DIF) effect, where denying information during an interrogation impairs memory for the discussed details. Recent research has shown that denial can also affect the original event memory when cognitive resources are strained during task execution. However,

En del psykologer som behandlar individer med trauma får själva samma eller liknande symptom som de som dem exponeras för. Föreliggande studie åsyftar att undersöka hur psykologers upplevelser av och professionella strategier i behandling av krigs-och tortyrtrauma kan förstås utifrån arketypiska gestalter. Sex psykologer från olika delar av Sverige rekryterades för semistrukturerade djupintervjuerSome psychologists treating individuals with trauma do themselves get the same or similar symptoms as the ones that they get exposed to. The aim of the present study was to explore how the experiences and professional strategies of psychologists treating survivors of torture and war can be understood through the lens of archetypal figures. Six psychologists from different parts of Sweden were recr

The aim of this study is to understand how outreach workers work with at-risk youth to reduce the risk of criminal behavior. The study is based on semi-structured interviews with eight outreach workers from different parts of Sweden who all have continuous contact with at-risk youth. The theoretical approaches we used when analyzing our material were Michael Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureauc

In this study, we investigated the issue of segregation as a social problem and the effort made to address it at the local level, particularly by the Swedish government. The government had developed a long-term program focusing on areas such as crime, the labor market, education, housing, and civil society to reduce segregation and promote equal opportunities. Our aim was to understand how the act

The current fashion and textile industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change and environmental degradation. The industry uses toxic dyes and chemicals to cultivate, manufacturing and processing stages. It also creates emissions that end up as pollution, and waste that ends up as landfill, which damage the ecosystem and has detrimental impact on human health. The textile and fashio

The aim of this paper is to research how transitional justice programmes have to this day inadequately addressed gender-based violence by specifically examining the overall framework of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in its goal towards reconciliation as a case study. To gain a thorough analysis on how its framework impacted its inclusion of women’s experiences of conflic

In most normative and prescriptive decision theories, transitivity is a presumed property of any preference relation, stating that for any choice alternatives x, y, z and preference relation R, if xRy and yRz, then xRz. However, what is normatively expected of an ideally rational agent may still be descriptively false under certain contexts and empirically motivated decision models. One such possi

Recent decades have seen the emergence of a global trend of democratic backsliding, in which authoritarianism is gaining traction, leading to a weakening of democratic practices, institutions, governance, and norms. Interestingly, this trend is noticeable in Tunisia, which just over a decade ago experienced a political revolution and began a democratisation process in which civil society played a

Idag står textilindustrin i Sverige för upp till 1800-ton textilavfall per år, ett slöseri av resurser som resulterar i negativ miljöpåverkan. Med ökningen av företag som anammar fast fashion, som kännetecknas av snabb cirkulation av trender och en klädproduktion som matchar, slängs kläder i en högre takt än någonsin tidigare.
