Vi jämförde både mindre och större versioner av ledande STT-system på tre väletablerade 
neuropsykologiska tester.

	abstract     = {The study examines how language shapes perceptions of
segregation in Sweden. Using sentiment analysis and topic
modeling of Swedish social media posts, it shows how social
divisions are articulated, reinforced, and contested. Drawing
on linguistic tools from SpråkbankenText, we analyze how
segregation is constructed in digital spaces and how
language both reflects and molds public attitudes. The
findings show how lexical and thematic choices normalize or
challenge boundaries, highlighting language’s role in
mediating inclusion, exclusion, and identity.},

},
	abstract     = {Objectives:This study explores the dynamics of vaccine rumors during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those surrounding messenger RNA vaccines. By employing and developing Hallin’s communication model of credibility spheres, we analyze how controversial ideas regarding vaccine safety gained public attention and challenged established vaccine narratives.
Methods:The focal point of the investigation is the viral spread of a biomedical article from Lund University, which intensified existing vaccine rumors shared on Twitter, that, in turn, the authorities had tried to refute. Through a mixed methods analysis of Swedish-language tweets, reflecting a limited segment of the population’s opinions, we highlight persistent skepticism toward mRNA vaccines, characterized by fears of side effects, rushed development, and distrust in pharmaceutical companies.
Results:The findings suggest that vaccine skeptics on Twitter leveraged the Lund medical article to legitimize their concerns, aiming to move their arguments from the Sphere of Deviant Vaccine Propositions into the Sphere of Legitimate Public Vaccine Debate, where they could be debated alongside mainstream views.
Conclusion:We interpret the possible impact of the mRNA rumors shared on Twitter as an expression of an increasingly populistic society with a decreasing trust in democratic institutions and authorities, in which the constant flow of content via the internet reinforces the credibility of conspiracy theories.},
