The aim of the study is to develop an integrative theoretical model of fictional narrative. The make-believe theory of Kendall L. Walton, which explains fiction as a family resemblance of all representational arts, is adopted in order to explain the fictionality of fictional narrative. In the first part of the study, Kendall Walton’s make-believe theory is critically examined. In part two, major i

Differences between spiritist mediumship and dissociative identity disorder on the basis of a structured interview

Objectives: To study the similarities and differences between Brazilian Spiritistic mediums and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) patients based on a structured psychiatric interview. The clinical and sociodemographic features of spiritist mediums enrolled in Brazilian spiritist centers were investigated in this study and compared with the scientific literature on DID patients. Despite the pauc

Ni ska bli ett gott parti

Om kvinnosynen i Sverige under 1940-50-talen, där den professionella husmodern var ett ideal. Kapitlet handlar om Hushållsskolan på slottet Skarhult i Skåne under denna tid.

Modelling the Risk: a Web-based approach. Using Virtual Reality for assessing the archaeological potentiality in an alluvial coastal plain

In the last decade 3D technologies have become a very effective means for managing and interpreting archaeological data. A better way to perceive, understand and communicate Cultural Heritage has been achieved through VR applications, which have enabled archaeologists both to make reconstructions of original landscapes and to put artifacts in their original context. Furthermore, the astonishing gr

Experimental Bladder Reconstruction

Reduced urinary bladder capacity is a clinically significant problem. The surgical methods that have been available to treat this, such as urinary diversion or surgically augmenting the bladder by incorporation of intestinal segments, all have serious drawbacks. There is a need to understand how the smooth muscle of the intestine and bladder can interact when brought into close contact surgically,

Biofuels for Transport in the Asia-Pacific Region

The purpose is to provide a brief overview of activities related to biofuels for transport in the Asia-Pacific Region, which covers a diverse range of countries and economies. The focus is on the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC),which is the premier forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade, and investment in the Asia-Pacific Region. APEC provides a forum for cooperation o

Institutional Quality, Trust and Stock-Market Participation: Learning to Forget

We explore the relation between institutional quality, trust and stock-market participation. In our theoretical model, agents update their beliefs in a Bayesian manner based on observations on frauds and choose whether to invest in the stock market. The corresponding empirical model shows that institutional quality affects trust and that the part of trust that is explained by institutional quality

Systematics of Lactobacillus spp. of probiotic potential

Lactobacillus is a heterogeneous bacterial genus comprising at present 91 species. The high species number often makes classification and identification difficult, especially as the taxonomy to a high degree has been based on phenotypical traits. Members of the genus are of commercial importance, involved in a range of industrial products and applied as probiotics, “live microorganisms which when

Cloud Studies with the Droplet Aerosol Analyzer

Climate change and atmospheric aerosols are a threat for human health and life. Reducing aerosol emissions would save human lives close to the aerosol source, but could lead to more death due to the implications of a warmer climate. Aerosol particles acting as cloud or ice nuclei can induce a change in cloud properties and thus indirectly induce a change in planetary albedo, which is considered th

Probing single-particle and collective states in atomic nuclei with Coulomb excitation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Atomer är de grundläggande byggstenarna för alla material runt omkring oss. Varje enskild atom består av ett tätt packat område i centrum, som kallas atomkärnan, omgivet av ett moln av elektroner. Atomkärnan innehåller neutroner och protoner, hopbundna av den starka kärnkraften. Vissa kombinationer av neutroner och protoner leder till bildandet av kärnor som är stabilaA series of experiments and developments, related to stable and radioactive isotopes, have been carried out. These studies have focused on measuring the low-lying excitations of spherical and deformed nuclei using electromagnetic (Coulomb) excitation and also on developments in detector technology for upcoming radioactive ion beams facilities. The low-lying excitations in the nuclei 107,109Sn and
