You should spend most time around 7 am even though nothing really happened until just recently.....especially since all parties are always pretty close together And it shows us how they should be playing with the books.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1667. 101 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0950-7. Background and Aim Being diagnosed with cancer is often described as a major loss of control leading to severe psychological distress and symptoms of anxiety and depression can continue to affect the individual in the long term. The cancer and its treatment may influence all dimensions of health, thus the psychosocial support provided needs to be multifaceted and easy accessed. Internet-based interventions may be one way to provide such support, but evidence is limited. This thesis aimed to investigate the design, effects, and experiences of internet-based psychosocial support in cancer. Methods and Results Study 1 encompassed a co-creation development process resulting in the interactive support provided as the first step in an internet-based stepped care intervention (iCAN-DO).

  • A Few Reflections on Beauty, Art and Artistic Creation in the Moomin Books by Tove Jansson
    Imagine Being so Pretty and Getting No Happiness out of It!… on Beauty, Art and Artistic Creation in the Moomin Books by Tove Jansson Filoteknos, vol. 10 • 2020 • DOI: 10.23817/filotek.10-14 HANNA DYMEL-TRZEBIATOWSKA ORCID: 0000-0002-7753-5463 University of Gdańsk Imagine Being so Pretty and Getting No Happiness out of It! A Few Reflections on Beauty, Art and Artistic Creation in the Moomin Books by Tove Jansson Abstract: The article discusses fundamental aesthetic stances which Tove Jans- son has adopted in her Moomin books, traditionally perceived as children’s literature. Nevertheless, the series is notably multi-addressed, and analyses of numerous scenes allow us to draw conclusions about the author’s own con- cepts of beauty and art, which are accessible to more experienced readers. As the study shows, Jansson’s approach does not correspond to one specific theo- ry but rather inclines to perceptualism, emotionalism and hedonism. Further- more, the article discusses the reflections on the act of artistic creation which the artist interwove predominantly into the characterization of Moominmam- ma and Moominpappa. In the traits of these two key characters she addressed aspects of her own two artistic domains, painting and writing. However, tak- ing a stand on serious philosophical matters, she managed to retain an evident child-oriented address, demonstrating her unique mastery of double address. Keywords: Moomin books, Tove Jansson, double address, philosophical aesthetics, the act of artistic creation The first book of Tove Jansson’s nine-volume series about Moomintrolls, Små trollen och den stora översvämningen (The Moomins and the Great Flood) from 1945, is perceived as one of the crucial titles which contributed to a break- through of modern children’s literature in Sweden1 (Westin 1996: 23–31).
