An Assembled Message : Matthen on the Content of Perceptual Experience

Mohan Matthen holds that visual perceptual content is divided into descriptive and referential elements. Descriptive content is our awareness of sensory features belonging to objects located in the visual field. Matthen conceives of this in terms of an image. The referential element is a demonstrative form of content, by which we pick out those objects as particulars and assert their physical pres

Parental Leave Practice in Sweden and Gender Equality: A Qualitative Study on Dynamics in Swedish Parents' Leave-sharing choices

A lot of research has shown varied contributors to Swedish parents' leave-sharing choices, including income, profession, and gender norms. However, there is an absence of studying the contributors as connected and interacting aspects. In this sense, this research aims to identify the dynamics of parents' choices on leave-sharing and gender equality. Specifically, the research explores what

Ethnic discrimination stress and self compassion - A comparison between women and men

In Sweden, there is a knowledge gap in understanding the impact of ethnic based discrimination on mental health. The aim of this thesis was to explore whether there are gender differences in the experience of ethnic based discrimination and whether self compassion could potentially buffer against ethnic discrimination stress. Minority stress models and racism as trauma perspectives were used to un

Eye-Movement Correlates of Pattern Separation in a Mnemonic Similarity Task Modified with Naturalistic Scenes

Pattern separation is one of the central operations of episodic memory. Tasks that evaluate the pattern separation usually base their assessments on the behavioral recall of simple objects or words and are far from real-life experiences and daily memory performance. Thus, typical tasks that assess pattern separation lack ecological validity. To address this issue, we designed a mnemonic memory tes

Multi-Level Perspectives on Anti-Corruption : A Systematic Literature Review

This systematic literature review investigates the extent towhich recent anti-corruption literature goes beyond the established paradigms (i.e., principal-agent perspective,macro-level, structural, and legal centralistic approaches) to focus on society’s informal norms, everyday micro-le-vel power relations and non-monetary currencies (e.g.respect, prestige, social status and trust). By reconceptu

Materials and methods: The levels of 65 plasma proteins, analysed with proximity extension assay, were compared between healthy controls (n = 20), patients with L

Swedish occupational therapists’ views and experiences regarding use of the ADL-taxonomy in clinical practice.

Bakgrund: Enligt klinisk forskning visar ADL-taxonomin hög validitet och reliabilitet, men det finns inga studier kring svenska arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att använda ADL-taxonomin som bedömningsinstrument i sitt kliniska arbete. Det är viktigt att studera användarnas erfarenheter och synpunkter för att förbättra implementering av evidensbaserade metoder såsom ADL-taxonomin.

Begreppet rättssäkerhet och betydelsen av begreppet i den offentliga debatten om anonyma vittnen

Frågan om anonyma vittnen har länge varit föremål för debatt i den juridiska världen. Är det en rättssäker åtgärd att införa ett system med anonyma vittnen? Hur skulle ett sådant system, om det infördes, överensstämma med de rättssäkerhetsgarantier som tillstår den tilltalade i rättsprocessen? Tidigare forskning kring anonyma vittnen har fokuserat på rättssäkerheten och försökt nå en slutsats krinThe issue on anonymous witnesses has in Sweden been frequently discus-sed in the legal debate over the years. Is it according to the rule of law to impose such a system? How does a system of anonymous witnesses con-form with the principles of the rule of law given to the accused during a hearing? Past research has centered the discussion around the rule of law and the effects an imposition of a sy

This paper examines caryatides in Greek architecture from the Archaic period to the Hellenistic period. The focus of this study is the functions, contexts, and symbolic meanings of the caryatides. Regarding the contexts, the caryatides were first used in the archaic period on the Cnidian treasury and, shortly thereafter on the Siphnian treasury, both in Delphi. In the classical period, the caryati

Between a Rune Stone and a Hard Place: Deconstructing Mass Media Influence on Knowledge Production in Viking Age Archaeogenetic Publications

The archaeological traditions of the Viking Age have a complex history. Some of it has been nationalist in orientation, at times constructing proud historical narratives reflecting ownership in and continuity of the past. These narratives conflict with increasing population diversity in the Scandinavian nations, where contemporary identity politics grapple with real and imagined realities of im

Arbetsterapeuters samkonstruktion med barn med autismspektrumdiagnos för att främja deras delaktighet i interventioner
