Anknytningens påverkan på implicita emotionella åsikter gentemot vårdnadsgivare studerades genom ett experiment som innehöll en affektiv priming uppgift liknande den välkända lexikala beslutsuppgiften ”lexical decision task” (LDT). Reaktionstiden i millisekunder för varje prime och mål ord kombination registrerades och användes som indikator för den associativa styrkan mellan de två.

In this paper I have examined four police’s views on ethics in relation to their everyday work as civil servants. The theoretical framework is discourse theory, i.e. an understanding of reality structured through discourse, as formulated by Laclau and Mouffe, as well as an understanding of Othering and Racialization as structuring for society on both a national and international level. I have also

Power is everywhere and even egalitarian movements which are fighting against hierarchy are reproducing inequality among their members in formal or informal ways. Here, I will tell the story of the challenge of elitism in one of our recent feminist campaigns in Iran through interviews with four campaigners and through an analysis of members’ published texts and their critiques. In the One Million

Koloniseringens effekter, har det skett en reversal of fortunes i Latinamerika? Hur har det uppstått och hur har det påverkat kontinenten idag. Man kan inte förneka en omvälvning av lycka. Data antyder att historiskt urbaniserade länder har det sämre ställt idag medan icke-urbaniserade länder har det relativt bättre idag. Denna omvälvning kan förklaras med hjälp av kontinentens koloniala historia

Interest in biofuel use is growing in aviation, due to its potential for lower GHG lifecycle emissions and as a possible price competitive alternative to fossil fuels in the long-term (ATAG, 2012). While the use of biofuels in aviation is a new phenomenon, compared to the automotive industry, several actors from the industry and governments have been involved in various initiatives to research, te

Learning from demonstration represents a powerful type of learning and a promising alternative to programming robots. However, even after years of research in the field the current level of robot imitation skills can be compared to a 2-year old child. Most of the presented works up to now have been exact imitation of trajectories without any particular understanding about the rudimentary goals of t

Pro-poor public spending is an important tool used for promoting development and poverty reduction. Yet, it has been hard to find evidence that public spending actually translates into desired outcomes. Public financial management (PFM) systems have been pointed out as one vital factor affecting public spending efficiency, but this has yet not been confirmed in any empirical research. By using new

This study aimed to examine what causes the increase in men's interest and impairments in women's interest towards a researcher career. Two hundred and eight (99 males, 109 females) students received information about the Acad
