The study utilizes the humanoid robot Epi, which provides step-by-step instructions for two Lego-building tasks.

This study examines whether unstructured and structured activities interact in their association with delinquency and cannabis use. We hypothesize that unstructured activities are more strongly associated with delinquency and cannabis use for those who are less engaged in structured activities. Data are drawn from three nationally representative self-report studies conducted between 2005 and 2011

Debatten om den höga svenska sjukfrånvaron har under senare år alltmer kommit att kretsa kring överutnyttjande och fusk. Det har etablerats en överutnyttjandediskurs, som bygger på föreställningen om en sjukfrånvaroepidemi i den arbetande befolkningen. I denna skrift görs en närgången och detaljerad analys av överutnyttjandediskursens innehåll och verklighetsbeskrivningar. Mer specifikt intressera

Background: Diversion—patients who sell or share their medication—is a hotly debated but rela-tively unresearched phenomenon. We have investigated the prevalence of self-reported diversion ofmethadone and buprenorphine at OST programs in Sweden. We have also examined if demographic,treatment, and social factors can be associated with an increased risk of diversion. Methods: Structured interviews w

Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) with methadone or buprenorphine is the most effective means of treating opioid dependence. If these substances are used by people who are not undergoing OST, they can however carry serious risks. This article examines the lifetime prevalence, motives, and drug sources for such use, as well as geographical differences in these variables. Methods: Stru

Background It is well known that illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine is common among people with an opioid dependence. Less notice has been taken of the fact that these substances are also used for extended periods of self-treatment, as a way of handling barriers to OST. In this study, motives for self-treatment are investigated, as well as attitudes and perceived barriers to OST among drug

Background: Recently developed buprenorphine depot injections have the potential to reduce risk for diversion and misuse, and to increase adherence with fewer visits for supervised intake. However, it is unclear how patients perceive this new form of medication. The purpose of this study was to explore patients experiences of depot injections and their reasons for continuing, discontinuing, or dec

Combining video clips with forum discussions is a useful strategy in web-based distance learning. This article documents experiences from a project where specially recorded ‘user movies’ were used as a means of incorporating a user perspective in a web-based course on maintenance treatment of opiate addiction. User movies can help solve two common pedagogical challenges in distance learning. First

Which of the many available theories of consciousness should a newcomer to the field choose? We consider possible ways to deal with this conundrum. We argue that convergence of theories is unlikely. Next, we consider ways comparing theories highlighting significant issues with existing endeavors in this regard. Given the nature of the field, presumably empirical support has a critical role to play
