Socialisation of Children to Cope With Death, Bereavement and Grief - A Berger and Luckman Inspired Analysis of Children’s Picture Books in a Chinese Context

Children’s understanding of death, bereavement and grief develop through socialisation where picture books also may play a role. The study explores how children’s picture books published in China (2010–2024), communicated themes of death, bereavement and grief. A systematic search identified 321 relevant books, of which 47 met the inclusion criteria and were analysed using both descriptive and a B

The Impact of Switch Faults on Train Delays : A Case Study of the Swedish Railway Network

Switches and crossings are prone to failure thus making them drivers of unreliability in the operation of many railway systems. Unreliability is directly linked to punctuality which continues to limit, among other factors, the uptake of railways as a sustainable mode of transport. To fix this issue, there is a need for a better understanding of the contribution of railway sub-systems to train dela

Real-time High-Speed Train Delay Prediction using Seemingly Unrelated Regression Models

Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for effective railway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies model the train delay prediction problems using a single, generic equation, restricting their capability in accounting for heterogeneous impacts of spatiotemporal factors on arrival delays as the train travels along its route. The pa

In Dialogue with Society : Democratic Engagement through Theatre

This research project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engagement. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democracy: participation, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in three productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In Skapa Demokrati (Creating Democracy), participation was promoted by encouraging the audience members to creat

Opinion Polls across Boundaries : The Early History of Northwestern European Opinion Polling beyond National Borders and Disciplinary Frameworks

This article focuses on the early history of Northwestern European opinion polling (1940s–1950s), specifically the cases of the Netherlands and Sweden. The evolution of opinion polling and its influence on post-war politics and society should be understood in light of processes of international transfer and entanglement. The Dutch-Swedish comparison brings into focus the ways in which the national

Approximating excursion distributions using regenerative processes

The excursion distribution of stochastic processes is important in many applications and is an important object in probability theory. The excursion distributions are defined as the time between a u-level up-crossing and the following down-crossing of the same level. While the notion of the excursion distribution might be intuitive, the general problem of describing it is not. Finding the excursio

Grandmother Memories for the Future : Solidaric Practices and (Slow) Memory in Contemporary Oppositional Struggles in Poland

This article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers). Driven by concerns for their grandchildren’s future, these grandmothers leaned heavily on memories as they manifested their support for the rule of law, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and more, during the rule of the nationThis article is about the relation between (slow) memory and solidaric practices through the lens of a Warsaw-based activist group called Polskie Babcie (Polish Grandmothers).

Perceptual Presence

There are different ways to bring a cypress tree to mind. We might think about atree, speak about it, or imagine it. The cypress might come to us unbidden inmemory, or in dream. But we might also see a cypress tree, or feel its branches inour hands. This way of bringing the tree to mind is distinctive because the treeitself seems to be present in our experience. Our experience has perceptualpresen

Nietzsche's Kind of Consciousness

This article critically examines two claims Mattia Riccardi ascribes to Nietzsche in his 2021 book Nietzsche’s Philosophical Psychology. The first is that Nietzsche’s main notion of consciousness should be interpreted as Rconsciousness. Rconsciousness is an awareness of a mental state or process that is achieved when that state is linguistically interpreted by another state. This article finds tha

The function of North Germanic word accents

Since 2010, it has become increasingly clear that North Germanic word accents have a strong predictive function in speech processing. Recent findings on the semantic effects of word accents might appear contradictory to this interpretation. However, we show that the predictive perspective is crucial for understanding these semantic effects.

Sex and APOE genotype modulate neuropsychological profile and depression in temporal lobe epilepsy

INTRODUCTION: Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common form of focal epilepsy, often associated with cognitive impairments, particularly in memory functions, and depression. Sex and APOE ε4 genotype play a crucial role in modulating cognitive outcomes and depression in various neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease. However, the combined effects of APOE genotype and sex on cognitive per
