This is the finding of a study at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, of former shipyard workers.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462327Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:48:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462325The language that adolescents use is often described as sloppy, with an air of ‘What’s going to happen to all these kids who can’t even talk properly?’ Yet research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, shows that young people indeed possess a high level of language competence, and also a good ability to adapt to different persons and situations. However, there are also features of their language that do not change according to the situation and that indicate that they have a specific identity style that also affects their communication.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462325Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:31:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462322French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty wrote several noted works during the period 1940-1960, discussing human corporeity and what it means for a human to have a body. International philosophical research into Merleau-Ponty has primarily focussed on his relationships with other philosophers. A thesis published by the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, presents him instead from the perspective of the history of ideas, focussing on the human corporeity and carnality.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462322Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:29:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462320Scientists at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have investigated the strategies used by people who suffer from dental fear to cope with dental treatment. Some of the most important factors in managing stress during a visit to the dentist include optimism on the part of the patient and an atmosphere of humour in the interaction with the dental staff.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462320Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:20:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462318More and more people being cared for on ventilators are conscious during the treatment, but what is it like to be fully conscious without being able to communicate with the world around you? A thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has lifted the lid on a world of panic, breathlessness and unheard pain.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462318Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:03:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462314A short spinning session can trigger the same biochemical indications as a heart attack – a reaction that is probably both natural and harmless, but should be borne in mind when people seek emergency treatment for chest pain, reveals a study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462314Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:52:00 GMThttp://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462312The stereotypical Christmas gift shopper is a stressed-to-the-max individual with a filled-to-the-rim shopping cart in a busy shopping mall. The shopping hysteria during the weeks before Christmas is frequently debated in the media, and the seeming overflow of just about everything is often viewed as immoral. In the report Att skapa familj i en värld av pengar (making a family in a world of money), Professor Helene Brembeck from the University of Gothenburg is moving the focus from the Christmas overflow as something entirely bad to questions about the origins of the overflow, who defines what’s excessive and how the overflow is managed.17http://idw-online.de/mobile/de/news462312Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:42:00 GMT
