- This Manifesto provides a joint proposal to create a Regional Science Academy as a think-tank support platform for a strategic development of the spatial sciences. The Regional Science Academy is a strategic spatial knowledge catalyst: it acts as a global intellectual powerhouse for new knowledge network initiatives and scholarly views on regions and cities as vital centrepieces of interconnected spatial systems. This contribution highlights its role and presents various activity plans.

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When Sweden joined the Community its freedom of action became limited. The national legislator's and social partners' lawmaking discretion in the area of labour law has been circumscribed partly through the transfers of competence, partly through the Community obligations that the Member States are bound to fulfil. These restrictions have been more and more visible during the last decade, as a result of the European integration process, which has resulted in an explicit and more independent social dimension whithin the Community.The dissertation deals with the limitations of the national lawmaking discretion in the labour law area that follow from Community law. It is the strategies and courses of action that the institutions of the Community, including the Court of Justice, have taken, that form the central starting point of the study. The division of powers between the Community and the Member States is usually discussed whithin the framework of the constitutional law, and the study begins in this area of law. With a view to adapt this discussion to a labour law environment a model of analysis has been developed, which is adjusted to this specific area. The model is finally applied through an analysis of the lawmaking whithin the area of pay.The analysis of the area of pay concludes that even if wage formation usually is regarded as a matter solely for the Member States and their social partners, such an assumption can be nothing but a point of departure. It is not possible to categorically exclude any pay related matter from the Community's competence from a legal point of view. In reality, however, there has been an almost unanimous wish on both national and Community level to let pay, with the exemption of pay discrimination, remain a matter for the Member States. This position has nevertheless been weakened to some extent as a result of the continuous integration process and its tendency to create an increased number of links between various material areas and matters.In general the analysis distinguishes a development towards a strategy of regulation at Community level which aims at creating a balance between national and Community considerations in the labour law area. It is also possible to identify the principle of diversity as a fundamental element in the Community's lawmaking regarding labour law, particularly with a view to protect both the Member States' legal orders and the autonomy of the social partners. The analysis also reveals that the social objectives are now given a greater importance than earlier in relation to the economic rationale on which the free movement and the internal market are founded

- The term "retroactive avoidance" refers to a special class of effects of future stimulus presentations on past behavioral responses. Specifically, it refers to the anticipatory avoidance of aversive stimuli that were unpredictable through random selection after the response. This phenomenon is supposed to challenge the common view of the arrow of time and the direction of causality. Preliminary evidence of "retroactive avoidance" has been published in mainstream psychological journals and started a heated debate about the robustness and the true existence of this effect. A series of seven experiments published in 2014 in theJournal of Consciousness Studies(Maier et al., 2014) tested the influence of randomly drawn future negative picture presentations on avoidance responses based on key presses preceding them. The final study in that series used a sophisticated quantum-based random stimulus selection procedure and implemented the most severe test of retroactive avoidance within this series. Evidence for the effect, though significant, was meager and anecdotal, Bayes factor (BF10) = 2. The research presented here represents an attempt to exactly replicate the original effect with a high-power (N= 2004) preregistered multi-lab study. The results indicate that the data favored the null effect (i.e., absence of retroactive avoidance) with a BF01= 4.38. Given the empirical strengths of the study, namely its preregistration, multi-lab approach, high power, and Bayesian analysis used, this failed replication questions the validity and robustness of the original findings. Not reaching a decisive level of Bayesian evidence and not including skeptical researchers may be considered limitations of this study. Exploratory analyses of the change in evidence for the effect across time, performed on a post-hoc basis, revealed several potentially interesting anomalies in the data that might guide future research in this area.

This time it's different? : Effects of the Eurovision Debate on young citizens and its consequence for EU democracy - evidence from a quasi-experiment in 24 countries

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For the very first time in EU history, the 2014 EP elections provided citizens with the opportunity to influence the nomination of the Commission President by casting a vote for the main Europarties’ ‘lead candidates’. By subjecting the position of the Commission President to an open political contest, many experts have formulated the expectation that heightened political competition would strengthen the weak electoral connection between EU citizens and EU legislators, which some consider a root cause for the EU’s lack of public support. In particular, this contest was on display in the so-called ‘Eurovision Debate’, a televised debate between the main contenders for the Commission President broadcasted live across Europe. Drawing on a quasi-experimental study conducted in 24 EU countries, we find that debate exposure led to increased cognitive and political involvement and EU support among young citizens. Unfortunately, the debate has only reached a very small audience.
