Digitala plattformar som erbjuder så kallade Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) är sedan några år tillbaka ett fenomen som växt sig gradvis starkare. Moocar har lyfts fram som ett lovande exempel på tillgängliggörandet av universitetsutbildning till en bredare allmänhet och som rätt använt också har potential att nå nya studieovana målgrupper runt om på jorden. Fördelarna till trots, har utveckli
In modernity’s tourism, nature is just a resource. In modernity, enterprises exploit human and natural resources, churning out products to feed the modern desire to consume. In the process, people and nature are carelessly ‘used up’. Thus, Brundtland’s famous exhortation for sustainable development (Brundtland, 1987) remains unheeded, and the rhetoric of sustainable tourism (Bramwell & Lane, 1
Målsättningar för och behov av hållbara transporter i städer är idag ett etablerat område inom trafik- och samhällsplaneringen och ökad cykling har sedan många år varit högt prioriterat av politiker och planerare. Trots dessa ambitioner har cyklingen i stället minskat på många håll under senare år. Det finns alltså ett stort behov av att identifiera och utveckla strategier och åtgärder som främjar
vilket påverkar hur vi ser på hållbarhetsaspekter vid planering av städer och i förlängningen enskilda bygg- och anläggningsprojekt. Detta medför att bygg- och fastighetsföretags sociala ansvarstagande blir en alltmer relevant del av verksamheten, inte minst vad gäller upphandling av entreprenörer och konsulter där det läggs en större vikt avseende sociala aspekter än tidigare.Trafikverkets upphan

Purpose/Objective • Behavioral interventions hold enormous promise for managing a variety of motor and nonmotor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite this, prior studies have suggested that the utilization of these interventions is relatively low. The current study seeks to understand factors that could relate to the utilization of PD behavioral strategies. Specifically, the study evaluate
Shifts in hemispheric dominance were previously proposed to play a role in hypnosis. Participants (N = 32) were exposed to an active–alert hypnosis induction and a music-control condition while electrodermal activity was registered bilaterally, providing information on alterations in hemispheric dominance. The results suggest that highly hypnotizable participants show a shift to right-sided and lo
Before industrialisation the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) were part of Europe's poor periphery, but over the last century these countries have become some of the richest in the world. This article analyses the origins of Nordic growth from the late nineteenth century, focusing on a previously neglected topic: the role of transportation. We argue that transportation, and m
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of psychosocial techniques to decrease postoperative pain and improve perioperative clinical care in orthopedic surgery. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the effects of psychosocial methods among adults undergoing orthopedic surgeries.

This paper aims to study and analyze the tools of linguistic analysis contained in the modern monetary methods, which used by Kamal Abu Deeb in his book “in Defense of Qur'an” to respond to the claim of Thomas Holland and his teacher Patricia Krona presented in a television program on Channel 4 in England. They claimed the prophet Mohammed is a false personality and that the Qur'an is forged, inve
