Cancerpatienter som tog emot ett negativt sjukdomsbesked upplevde läkarna som mindre empatiska än patienter som fick ett mer positivt besked. Lundaforskarna bakom studien tror dels att det handlar om rollen som budbärare av ett så negativt besked. Men också om att läkare i en slimmad vårdorganisation tenderar att tappa bort mottagandet av patientens känslor. I studien ingick 186 cancerpatienter vi

The scent of a madeleine dipped in lime blossom tea awakened a flood of childhood memories for the main character in Marcel Proust’s famous novel about ‘lost time’. The madeleine is an example of a clue for the memory. In Proust’s case, the clue worked subconsciously, in other cases we can use clues to consciously try to recall the memories for which we are searching. Mikael Johansson puts a gel o

From being used to signify economic and materialist unpredictability, "otrygghet" has come to be used almost exclusively in a crime context.
