European marriage rates have been steadily declining since the 1960's, a part of the second demographic transition largely attributed to the individualization of values. In 1998, Swedish marriage rates reversed into an incline, surpassing the European average in 2004. This reverse is particularly interesting as Sweden has been an international forerunner in the second demographic transition si
The expansion of ecotourism around the world brings about certain structural transformations as it moves. When ecotourism is conceptualized as frictions, the transformations open up the analytical perspective for a broader understanding. Seemingly dispersed acts can be connected to wider structural shifts in the social reproduction. Studying global process like ecotourism ethnographically requir
Which factors will influence who you choose to recommend in referral hiring? Questions regarding nepotism and referral hiring were examined in the study. Special focus was laid on in group favoritism, perceived fairness and gender. With an experiment participants were faced with a scenario where they were asked to select a replacer for a job spot. In the experiment the participants were faced with
In this text the idea that a higher order thought theory is a fruitful theory is brought to question. This is done by proposing a simple question, by the form “Can we know if my computer is conscious?”. The main point of this text will be that HoT fails to answer the question in a satisfying way. This is because we can see from the distinction between creature conscious theories and state consciou

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or
The restrictions on China´s capital account is the major restrictive factor for the international use of the RMB. The potential international status of the RMB must be included into the consideration by the monetary authority in designing the pace and form of liberalizing the restrictions, because, in general, the potential international status directly induces the potential benefits and risks. Th
Denna uppsats vill bidra till ämnet teologisk metod, och undersöker hur soteriologi integreras i systematisk teologi, dvs. hur talet om frälsning, som teologiskt delämne, relaterar till en komplex teologisk helhet. Soteriologi är präglat av mångfald, vilket är både nödvändigt och önskat. Jag anser att det finns (minst) fyra vägledande koncept som är involverade när soteriologi integreras i systemaWith this essay, I try to contribute to the field of methodology, and study how soteriology is integrated into systematic theology, i.e., how the way the talk about salvation, as a part of theology, relates to a complex theological whole. Soteriology is diverse, which is both necessary and desired. In this essay, I argue that there are (at least) four guiding notions at work when soteriology is in
Higher glutamate and glutamine (together: Glx) and lower N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) levels were reported in schizophrenia. Endurance training normalizes NAA in the hippocampus, but its effects on other metabolites in the brain and the relationship of metabolites to clinical symptoms remain unknown. For 12 weeks, 20 schizophrenia inpatients (14 men, 6 women) and 23 healthy controls (16 men, 7 women)
Introduction. This paper presents a theory-driven discussion on the role of facts in society, couched between a brief historical overview and a discussion of the contemporary situation, exemplified in particular by openly available web-based fact services. Implications for the conceptualisation of information literacy – and in particular information literacy in relation to today’s dominant algorit
This thesis is about the role of media discourse in shaping the political identities of those who want to be heard in public. The ways in which people are able to speak, know, and feel in political situations have important implications for how we conceive of the possibilities to be engaged in contemporary democracy. This thesis offer four empirical studies of how political identities are construc
Neuropsychological measures of fluency require productivity under timed conditions. The current study explored the parameters of fluency paradigms by extending the associational demands of the tasks. Ss with frontal lobe tumors (n = 17) were compared with normal subjects (n = 17) on simple and complex fluency tasks. Complex fluency tasks appeared to be more sensitive to tumor presence than simple
This article discusses some of the opportunities and challenges that the Estonian Council Presidency is facing during its first term in 2017. We also explore how Estonia is likely to appreach this position. The Council presidency provides a position to propagate national interests and an opportunity for leadership within the Council but can also be preceived as a silencer of domestic narrative. We
