For quite some time, cognitive science has offered philosophy an opportunity to address central problems with an arsenal of relevant theories and empirical data. However, even among those naturalistically inclined, it has been hard to find a universally accepted way to do so. In this article, we offer a case study of how cognitive-science input can elucidate an epistemological issue that has causeFor quite some time, cognitive science has offered philosophy an opportunity to address central problems with an arsenal of relevant theories and empirical data.

BACKGROUND: A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess person

Medical doctors and nutritional specialists recommend to eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables. Cosmetic experts also recommend to use cosmetic products obtained from natural products. The reason behind this is that natural products from plants contain chemical compounds which can promote health and protect our bodies from several diseases. These chemical compounds are called bioactiveBioactive compounds found in plants have been of interest to man since ancient times. These compounds have the ability to modulate the metabolic processes in our bodies, which suggests that they may promote better health. Bioactive compounds vary in their chemical structure, polarity, stability and biological activity. This diversity makes the study of bioactive compounds challenging from the pers

This article chronicles the most recent history of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) located in Hamburg, Germany, with particular emphasis on how this national laboratory founded for accelerator-based particle physics shifted its research program toward multi-disciplinary photon science. Synchrotron radiation became DESY’s central experimental research program through a series of changesThis article chronicles the most recent history of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) located in Hamburg, Germany, with particular emphasis on how this national laboratory founded for accelerator-based particle physics shifted its research program toward multi-disciplinary photon science.

Statsmakterna kräver nu att verksamheterna vid Sveriges universitet och högskolor ska genomsyras av ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Riksdagen har nu beslutat att dessa verksamheter ska ”främja en hållbar utveckling”. I regeringens Budgetproposition 2005/06:1 återfanns förslag till lag om ändring i högskolelagen. Där föreskrevs att 1 kap. 5 § högskolelagen (1992:1434) skall ha följande lydelse: Högskol

This thesis explores how the European Union implements the concept of open strategic autonomy through three recent trade policy instruments: the International Procurement Instrument, the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, and the Anti-Coercion Instrument. In response to growing geopolitical tensions, supply chain vulnerabilities, and the stagnation of multilateralism, the EU has increasingly turned to

Denna fallstudie studerar och analyserar hur Arla bemöter negativa kommentarer på Instagramkontot Arla Sverige. Vi belyser hur Arla förhåller sig till teorier inom Is-sues Management i sin kommunikation på ett av sina Instagramkonton. Vi använder en netnografisk observation samt intervjumetod som insamlingsmetod. Den netnografiska metoden används för att samla in kommentarer från Instagramkontot AThis case study aims to investigate how Arla responds to negative comments posted to their social media in order to gain knowledge of how they take into consideration Issues Management in their social media communication. Through a netnographic observation and two in-depth interviews with Arlas press- and media manager we gather empirical material. The netnographic observation is used to gather co

To investigate the reasons why companies engage in Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR, this study conducts a survey with 47 companies and interviews with 7 company representatives in the UK. This empirical data and results are analysed in terms of theoretical ideas of CSR and economics. Board of Directors or top management, Attract employees, Reputation, Moral, and Economic reasons are, as in th

The People’s Park in Lund was one of Sweden’s first public places owned by the labour movement. Today the park has become a municipal re creational facility and cultural centre, and the pivotal role of labour in its creation has all but completely faded. Yet despite this amnesia, urban development plans for the park have been overturned many times with references to the place’s past, which has mad

The thesis will present and analyze different roles women actors in Northern Ireland took upon themselves during the period known as ”The Troubles” (1969- 1998). It will present a theoretical framework that consists of several relevant theories on agency, actorship and gender in conflict as well as created categories that helps organize the roles identified. The type of conflict, in this case eth

The status of Western Sahara has since 1975 been a controversial topic in international relations. Morocco claims that the territory rightfully belongs to them while Polisario, the representative of the Sahrawi’s, are of the dichotomous opinion and demands independence. In this paper I will examine the statement that Western Sahara in the long run would be to weak and too poor to survive as a stat
