ObjectivesThe formation of episodic memories is critically determined by how we visually sample the world over time via sequences of eye movements. Nonetheless, in the neuroscience of human memory, memory encoding has almost exclusively been studied in experimental paradigms where the study material is presented in a single fixed location on the screen, and where eye movements are treated as artif

Episodic memory enables mental time travel, allowing us to relive specific, personally experienced events tied in time and place. This feat of human memory is considered to be dependent on the reinstatement of the cortical patterns that were active at the time of encoding. A growing body of recent literature has provided support for this idea by showing that retrieval success co-varies with the ne

First-generation migrants tend to have better health than those of native ancestry, while second-generation migrants often are affected by negative health assimilation. Less is known about immigrants arriving before their teens, the 1.5 generation, or those with one native and one immigrant parent, the 2.5 generation. We apply logistic regression models to study physical and mental health outcomes

Introduction: Housing shortage due to population growth within metropolitan areas, combined with an ageing population, has put pressure on current housing provision in Sweden. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable housing policies to accommodate the growing number of seniors in accessible home environments. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how municipalities cur

BackgroundAccessible housing is crucial to maintain a good quality of life for older adults with functional limitations, and housing adaptations are instrumental in resolving accessibility problems. It is unclear to what extent older adults, who have a high risk of further functional decline, use housing adaptation grants acquired through the long-term care (LTC) insurance systems. This study aime

Måltidskulturer påverkar alla situationer där lagande, ätande ochdrickande förekommer. Trots detta tas måltidskulturella aspektersällan i beaktande i det praktiska arbetet med professionella måltideri Sverige. Med en ökad kunskap om måltidskultur är det möjligt attdesigna måltider som tilltalar och skänker mening till gäster medolika bakgrund, ideal och preferenser. Det finns därför en storpotenti

In this paper, we analyze one of the early welfare interventions in the Swedish welfare state targeted towards mothers and young children: the introduction of a child day-care system. Because quantitative research on day-cares in historical settings is generally scarce, in this study, we focus on the determinants of day-care enrollment in southern Sweden during the early twentieth century. We use

This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. Hence triggering, or motivation, of behaviours are a consequence of prediction errors from the body resulting from biological variables moving away from homeostasis. Dependin

Denna artikel innehåller en analys av samtliga rapporter från Statens offentliga utredningar (SOU), 1945-89. Analysen applicerar metoder inom digital humaniora och inkluderar forskning gjort i en Jupyterlabbmiljö som utvecklats på Humlab på Umeå universitet. Artikeln är ett resultat av forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad, som ämnar att digitalisera litteratur, arbetar med datasäkring av In 2015 the National Library of Sweden finished digitising all Governmental Official Reports (SOU) from 1922 to 1999. Traditionally, SOU reports – and work performed within different governmental committees – were tasked with preparing the Swedish government for apt and rational decision-making. The range of subjects covered by governmental committees and SOU reports basically includes every area

Kommuner och deras invånare möter nya utmaningar till följd av ett förändrat klimat.Översvämningar, värmeböljor och stormar förväntas öka i antal och styrka, medan processer som havshöjning och erosion hotar att radikalt omskapa lokala samhällen och landskap. Dessutom kan nuvarande ansvarsförhållanden komma att omdanas då klimateffekterna överstiger kommuners mandat eller kapacitet. Allt högre kra

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is connected to the rest of the brain through two main networks: the anterior-temporal (AT) and the posterior-medial (PM) systems. Given the crucial role of the MTL and networks in the physiopathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the present study aimed at (1) investigating whether MTL atrophy propagates specifically within the AT and PM networks, and (2) evaluating

INTRODUCTION: Drug-resistant epilepsy patients show worse outcomes after resection when standard neuroimaging is nonlesional, which occurs in one-third of patients. In prior work, we employed 2-D glutamate imaging, Glutamate Chemical Exchange Saturation Transfer (GluCEST), to lateralize seizure onset in nonlesional temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) based on increased ipsilateral GluCEST signal in the t

INTRODUCTION: It is unclear how different proteinopathies (tau, transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 [TDP-43], amyloid β [Aβ], and α-synuclein) contribute to atrophy within medial temporal lobe (MTL) subregions in Alzheimer's disease (AD).METHODS: We utilized antemortem structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to measure MTL substructures and examined the relative contribution of ta

We demonstrate a successful process scheme for the integration of a CMOS-compatible ferroelectric gate stack on a scaled vertical InAs nanowire gate-all-around MOSFET on silicon. The devices show promising device characteristics with nanosecond write time and large memory window of >1.5 V. In the current implementation, the device performance is mainly limited by access resistance, which is attrib

As a result of recent research discoveries and technological advancements within neuroscience, a growing interest in the brain and its functions permeates not only film studies, but also the field of humanities as a whole. Yet, the neuroscientific influence on contemporary film studies is not easily defined; on the contrary, film scholars with different starting points identify fundamentally diver
