Målet med denna studie är att undersöka betydelsen av det diagnostiska värdet hos en ledtråd, en så kallad “cue” framför värdet av ett kontextuellt överlapp mellan inkodning och framplockning av minnen. Ett minnestest grundat på ledtrådsbaserat igenkännande, så kallat “cued recognition”, genomfördes. Samtliga deltagare presenterades för ordpar tillsammans med kontextuella bilder i tre betingelser,The aim of this study is to investigate the importance of a diagnostic cue over the mere contextual overlap between encoding and retrieval in successful retention. A cued recognition test was conducted to investigate the power of a contextual cues diagnostic value in successful retrieval of memories. Participants were presented with word pairs together with a picture background in three different
European oceans are in a poor state – only 10% of marine habitats and 2% of marine species show favourable conservation status. This is largely attributed to an intense pressure from industrial human activities at sea. The Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) from 2008 is an attempt to better protect marine environments in the European Union (EU) by enforcing an Ecosystem-Based Management (E
Significant positive and negative consequences across the entire spectrum of issues are expected from the much debated Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

It approaches the possible consequences from the
Bakgrund: Fallolyckor har ökat den senaste tiden och orsakar stora kostnader för samhället samt lidande för den drabbade. Det är viktigt att sätta in insatser i fallprevention för att motverka detta. Socialstyrelsen har samordnat en kampanj på uppdrag från regeringskansliet för dessa insatser. I dagsläget används instrument med mått som är ospecifika samt svåra att kvantifiera för att utvärdera fa

Habitat destruction (evidenced in land use change) represents one of the biggest threats to environmental resources and biodiversity. In the tropics, this threat is maximized as deforestation frontiers have expanded into natural ecosystems at increasing rates over the last decades for agricultural cropping and livestock husbandry. Protected areas have been conventionally established against this g
The aim in this thesis is to explore how power dynamics are involved as one way of knowing the environment is held to be more rational than the other. This is being put in the case of the development of alternative agriculture in Sweden and Denmark, where organic agriculture has managed to gain greater attention in recent years whilst biodynamic farming has been less successful. Furthermore, this
Climate migration is an emerging topic of research and policymaking in the region of Asia and the Pacific. Migration in the context of climate change is mediated by social, political, and historical factors not solely dependent on the impacts of climate change. Also, migration, including climate migration, is a socially unequal process and has differential impacts on people based on their identity
