This article takes a cognitive approach to natural concepts. The aim is to introduce criteria that are evaluated with respect to how they support the cognitive economy of humans when using concepts in reasoning and communicating with them. I first present the theory of conceptual spaces as a tool for expressing the criteria. Then I introduce the central idea that natural concepts correspond to con
This paper considers whether short-term variation in exposure to disease early in life, as measured by a variety of mortality rates, has an effect on the height of young adults. Height information for men born in southern Sweden, 1814–1948, and included in the Scanian Economic Demographic Database (SEDD), was obtained from records of medical inspections carried out as part of Sweden’s system of un
This chapter explains that the causation inquiry performed by the European Court of Human Rights for determining breach of positive obligations has to be understood in light of the normative structural considerations that underpin state responsibility under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). In particular, the responsibility system is not shaped by the corrective justice rationale tha
INTRODUCTION: An increasing number of sub-Saharan African countries are implementing national health insurance schemes (NHISs) to support the aspiration of universal health coverage (UHC). A growing body of literature recognises the private sector role in improving NHIS equity in service access, public provider complementarity and overall member satisfaction. Zambia has implemented the NHIS since

Pruritus is a frequent symptom in medicine. Population-based studies show that one in five persons in the general population has suffered from chronic pruritus (CP) at least once in their lifetime, with a 12-month incidence of 7%. CP, which can affect all age groups, is associated with numerous, often interdisciplinary medical conditions. It needs a precise diagnostic work-up to identify causes an
In 2004, the EU welcomed ten new member states. For two of these newcomers, namely the Czech and the Slovak Republic, the accession process did encounter difficulties as they got haunted by their own history. In both states? constitution, there are decrees, issue from the post-war era, including discriminative regulations against minorities. These decrees, commonly called Bene?-decrees, have been
The rise of far-right anti-gender movements has become increasingly visible, particularly in Europe, with the surge of far-right actors in last elections. Additionally, we are witnessing the development of various global crises, including wars, genocide, and harshened migration policies in the Global North. This shift coalesces with a time when feminist, queer and anti-racist movements have gather
År 2022 genomfördes en omfattande reform av den svenska arbetsrätten, med fokus på bland annat att modernisera lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Reformen utgick från januariavtalet 2019 där regeringen åtog sig att lägga fram lagstiftningsförslag som stämde överens med en eventuell partsöverenskommelse framtagen av arbetsmarknadens parter vilket resulterade i ett nytt Huvudavtal som blev grIn 2022, a major reform of Swedish labour law was implemented, with one of its key objectives being the modernisation of the Employment Protection Act (LAS). The reform originated from the 2019 January Agreement and granted certain labour market organisations an active and norm-setting role in the drafting of legislative proposals. The government committed to presenting legislative initiatives in
This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization
Abstract Authors: Alexandra Jönsson & Emmeli Trobäck Title: We never force a child [translated title] Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: Kristina Göransson Our purpose with this paper was to try to get a better understanding of how a social worker acts and thinks in their assessments. Especially in the interaction between a foster child and the biological parents along with what role the child
People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi
Multivariat mönsteranalys (MVPA) är en maskininlärningsmetod som de senaste 15 åren använts inom hjärnavbildningsstudier för att avkoda och klassificera neurala representationer som uppstår vid kognitiv bearbetning hos försöksdeltagare då de utsätts för olika slags stimuli. Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att med hjälp av klassificerare avkoda den elektroencefalografiska hjärnaktivitet som
Villa homes are designed to be able to tackle many injured leading factors. Today's villa homes are planned and projected by many years of experience in villa construction. No matter how well you planned the project planning and execute it, an injury can occur. Moisture and water damage can occur from a variety of factors, both from the outer- and inner factors. The external factors may be in
Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur stor yta av Lunds tätort man kan frigöra från parkeringsplatser i tre olika framtida scenarier. Dessa scenarier utspelar sig ungefär år 2040 och handlar om tre varianter av bilpoolslösningar. Bilen tar fysiskt upp mycket yta i staden. Detta har bl.a. undersökts i tidigare examensarbeten, men med fokus på utvecklingen av andelen tätortsyta som låses av trafiklöThis master thesis examines how much of the urban area of the city of Lund, could be released from parking space in different future scenarios. These scenarios are based on three different options of car sharing and unfold around year 2040. Historically city planning has had various influences from different centuries with both economic and military ideals. But the 20th century and the introducti
Förtillverkade betongkonstruktioner har inte någon naturlig sammanhållning av stommen, som i en platsgjuten konstruktion, vilket medför stora krav på de mekaniska kopplingarna mellan de prefabricerade betongelementen avseende bärförmåga och deformationskapacitet. Dagens mekaniska kopplingar utgörs ofta av ingjutna raka kamstänger och har därför en begränsad deformationskapacitet vilket medför att Precast concrete structures has no natural coherence of the frame as when the structure is cast in situ, which puts great demands on the ties between the prefabricated concrete elements regarding the resistance and deformation capacity. The ties that are used today often consist of straight ribbed bars embedded in concrete and therefore have limited deformation capacity. This means that the opport
This papers aims at analysing Chinese suppliers’ expectations of interfirm relationship when Western companies offshore their production to China. The research is motivated by the underrepresentation of the Chinese suppliers’ perspective in the literature and the undisputed role of China as the second most popular destination for offshoring. The literature finds that a successful relationship betw
