This book is intended as an introduction to the breadth of current research in cognitive science, with the research at Lund University Cognitive Science as our sample. The result is a smorgasbord for readers with some background in the neighbouring disciplines. Through the chapters we will follow some of the important cross-disciplinary issues in cognitive science. One is how the external world
In the pilot study for a biography, some of the methodological and/or theoretical problems facing the anthropologist and biographer are discussed. The empirical section is based on a number of interviews I made with my grandmother over the period 1995-2001. I have come across inconsistencies in the material when rendering a historical event. Furthermore, the material makes me reflect on how the b
The study of pragmatic markers attracts many scholars within the field of pragmatics, in particular in the area of radical pragmatics. Pragmatic markers are often perceived by speakers as having vague meanings that are hard to pin down in words. A pragmatic marker marker also often seem to contribute in different ways to the explicit or implicit message that the speaker wants to convey depending o
Primary prevention of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires intervention in genetically at-risk infants. The Global Platform for the Prevention of Autoimmune Diabetes (GPPAD) has established a screening program, GPPAD-02, that identifies infants with a genetic high risk of T1D, enrolls these into primary prevention trials, and follows the children for beta-cell autoantibodies and diabetes. Genetic testin
Government agencies in Sweden are experiencing a communicative turn where notions concerning branding, image and identity have become standardized tools and concerns. Public relations, with its focus on persuasion and creating relations with external actors, is part of this communicative turn. This book is concerned with how government agencies practice political public relations in a more communi
Dispute boards är en form av privat tvistlösning som de senaste decennierna blivit populär både i Sverige och internationellt. Tanken med en dispute board är att låta en nämnd av privatdomare avgöra tvister på ett mindre formellt sätt än vad som är möjligt vid domstol eller skiljeförfarande och på så vis nå ett snabbt avgörande. Parter har större möjlighet att bestämma hur förfarandet ska gå till A dispute board is a type of private dispute resolution which in the last decades has achieved great popularity in Sweden as well as in an international context. The idea behind the dispute board is that a small board of private judges can solve disputes in a less formal manner than what is possible in litigation or arbitration. In this way a more rapid decision can be reached. Parties are in grea
Både de mellanstatliga skatteavtalen och EU-rätten grundar sig på och är beroende av staternas lojalitet och efterlevnad. Det faller sig naturligt att både skatteavtal och EU-rätt skall ha företräde framför interna regler för att få genomslag och utifrån syftet önskad effekt. En absolut efterlevnad ställer dock till problem när mellanstatliga samarbeten missbrukas, varför både OECD och EU bekräftaTax treaties as well as EU law lean on the foundation of loyalty and are dependent on the compliance of membership nations. For desired effect, it is natural for both EU regulations and tax treaties to take precedence over local rules. However, absolute compliance creates issues when inter-governmental collaborations are abused. Hence, OECD and EU have agreed on the possibility for internal counte
This study is about the extent of how church law (of 1571, 1686 and 2000) in Sweden has affected and still affects the church's welfare administrations such as schools, hospitals and care institutions. Recent studies seem to indicate that the Church of Sweden is aiming to start expanding its organisation to include more social welfare activities to meet increasing demands from the general publ

Background: Rising rates of obesity and overweight is an increasing public health problem all over the world. Recent research has shown the importance of early life factors in the development of child overweight. However, to the best of our knowledge there are no studies investigating the potential synergistic effect of early life factors and presence of parental overweight on the development of c
Reglerna om rättskraft är mycket omdiskuterade i den civilprocessrättsliga doktrinen. Rättskraften är inte absolut, utan begränsas bland annat tidsmässigt av factum superveniens/facta supervenientia. Facta supervenientia är omständigheter som inte kunde åberopas i en första process och som utan hinder av den förra domens rättskraft får lov att åberopas i en ny process. Syftet med uppsatsen är att The rules on legal force are much debated in the doctrine of civil procedure law. The legal force is not absolute. The legal force is limited, among other things, in terms of time by factum superveniens/facta supervenientia. Facta supervenientia are circumstances that could not be referred to in a first pro-cess and which, without being hindered by the legal force of the previous judgement, are al

China has a long history with agriculture since ancient times. However, with the economic growth and urban sprawl from the 1970s, the farming lands are gradually taken by the modern urban blocks. The urban planning did not consid
Museums have long had an important role as institutions for learning and education. In recent years, the pedagogical role of museums has become more important. Museums can offer a different kind of learning compared to the formal education system, and museums can be important resources for schools. However, as a recent report from The Swedish National Heritage Board shows, many museums are struggl

This thesis is a social study of “artistic research”, a field of activity that has emerged from the world of art, where the process of artistic creation is simultaneously seen as a process of knowledge production. The research problem motivating the thesis is that artistic research overturns conventional understandings of art and research as two opposing entities by actively combining the two. In
