Critical realism as a fractal philosophy
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-06-13)There are two overarching questions that guide this paper: What are some potential issues with the criterion for judgemental rationality as developed by Bhaskar? How can critical realism itself be justified without foundationalist assumptions or an infinite regress of justification? The paper considers how Bhaskar’s criterion for theory choice– developed in the natural sciencescan also be applied ... -
Anthropogenic impacts on mud and organic carbon cycling
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-04-09)Fine-grained muds produced largely from rock weathering at the Earth’s surface have great influence on global carbon cycling. Mud binds and protects organic carbon (OC) from remineralization, and its organic loading controls the amounts, timescales and pathways of OC sequestration in sediments and soils. Human activities have resulted in marked changes (both increases and decreases) in mud accumulation ... -
Behavioral Inhibition and Social Anxiety Disorder as Predictors of Long-Term Outcomes of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Youth Anxiety Disorders
