False denial is a deceptive strategy involving the refusal of knowledge or actions. Previous studies have reported the denial-induced forgetting (DIF) effect, where denying information during an interrogation impairs memory for the discussed details. Recent research has shown that denial can also affect the original event memory when cognitive resources are strained during task execution. However,
En del psykologer som behandlar individer med trauma får själva samma eller liknande symptom som de som dem exponeras för. Föreliggande studie åsyftar att undersöka hur psykologers upplevelser av och professionella strategier i behandling av krigs-och tortyrtrauma kan förstås utifrån arketypiska gestalter. Sex psykologer från olika delar av Sverige rekryterades för semistrukturerade djupintervjuerSome psychologists treating individuals with trauma do themselves get the same or similar symptoms as the ones that they get exposed to.

Our aim was to understand how the act
The current fashion and textile industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change and environmental degradation. The industry uses toxic dyes and chemicals to cultivate, manufacturing and processing stages. It also creates emissions that end up as pollution, and waste that ends up as landfill, which damage the ecosystem and has detrimental impact on human health. The textile and fashio

Arbetet syftar på att utreda marksamfälligheters förutsättningar att tilldelas andelstal i en gemensamhetsanläggning, samt vilka konsekvenser en sådan anslutning medför. Målet med arbetet är dels att besvara ifall ett sådant förfarande är förenligt med anläggningslagens bestämmelser men även att studera förekomsten av anläggningsförrättningar där marksamfälligheter tilldelas andelstal i praktiken.The aim of the study is to examine the conditions for joint property units to be assigned participatory shares in a joint facility, as well as the consequences of such a procedure. The goal of the study is partly to answer if such a procedure is compatible with the rules of the law, but also to examine the occurrence of joint property units as members in joint facilities in practice.

The aim of this paper is to research how transitional justice programmes have to this day inadequately addressed gender-based violence by specifically examining the overall framework of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in its goal towards reconciliation as a case study.

In most normative and prescriptive decision theories, transitivity is a presumed property of any preference relation, stating that for any choice alternatives x, y, z and preference relation R, if xRy and yRz, then xRz. However, what is normatively expected of an ideally rational agent may still be descriptively false under certain contexts and empirically motivated decision models. One such possi

Recent decades have seen the emergence of a global trend of democratic backsliding, in which authoritarianism is gaining traction, leading to a weakening of democratic practices, institutions, governance, and norms. Interestingly, this trend is noticeable in Tunisia, which just over a decade ago experienced a political revolution and began a democratisation process in which civil society played a
Today, the textile industry in Sweden is responsible for up to 1800 tons of textile waste per year, a poor use of resources that results in a negative environmental impact. Additionally, with the rise of fast fashion, which is characterized by rapid trend circulation and a clothing production that matches, clothes are discarded at a higher rate than ever before. However, the popularity of secondha
