In wanting to pursue critically informed research, we highlight a steppingstone we use in our struggle answering the question ‘How do we recognize what to critically reflect upon?’. When we, as researchers, try to apply critical thinking we may find that our descriptions of our reasoning undermine the purpose for those descriptions. We perceive problems to flow from an entrapment of mind in the ‘f

A Nordic-Soviet programme was initiated in 1990 to evaluate the external and internal radiation exposure of the inhabitants of several villages in the Bryansk region of Russia. This area was one of the number of areas particularly affected by the nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986. Measurements were carried out yearly until 1998 and after that more irregularly; in 2000,

Rules set by global governance organizations affect communities across the world. Such organizations increasingly seek to obtain legitimacy in the eyes of groups beyond their member state elites. This book advances scholarly debate on the politics of legitimacy and legitimation in global governance. It brings together researchers from different subfields of International Relations in order to high

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by disruptions between normally integrated subsystems that modulate the visuo-spatial representation of embodied consciousness. Similar disruptions in the coordination of cognitive processes, and corresponding alterations in cortical functional connectivity, have been observed in highly suggestible individuals following a hypnotic induction and afte

The plants in the ancient Roman garden were chosen with deliberation. These choices were ruled by the meaning and associations the plants conveyed to the garden visitors.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns alltmer bevis för att både genetiska och tidiga miljömässiga faktorer spelar en väsentlig roll i uppkomsten av schizofreni genom att påverka tidig neuroutveckling. För att kunna analysera betydelsen av tidig neuroutvecklingsavvikelse för uppkomst av schizofreni, har vi studerat tidiga traumata, dvs obstetriska komplikationer (OCs), samt dysmorfogenes, dvs lindTo measure the importance of early neurodevelopmental disturbance for schizophrenia, early trauma and dysmorphogenesis (i.e. obstetric complications (OCs), minor physical anomalies (MPAs), head circumference (HC) and dermatoglyphic characteristics) were studied in relationship to adult neurodysfunction (i.e. neurological abnormality (NA), neurocognitive dysfunction (NCGD), tardive dyskinesia (TD)

Este estudio se hace en el marco de un trabajo de tesis doctoral sobre las estrategias de atenuación en conversaciones interculturales entre hablantes nativos de español peninsular y aprendices suecos de español. Como han mostrado múltiples estudios empíricos, la atenuación, así como la cortesía, las actividades de imagen, la argumentación y la interacción en general, está estrechamente vinculada
