   Author : Rachel Howcroft; Kerstin Lidén; Gunilla Eriksson; Tamsin O'Connell; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Infant Feeding; Breastfeeding; Weaning; Milk; Diet; Fertility; Neolithic; Agriculture; Hunter-Gatherer; Bronze Age; Iron Age; Prehistory; Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratios; Bone; Dentine; Archaeological Science; laborativ arkeologi;

   Abstract : This thesis is concerned with how prehistoric infants were fed in different physical and cultural environments, and in particular what impact the economic, social, and epidemiological changes associated with the development of agriculture had on infant feeding practices. In order to examine these effects, stable isotope ratio analysis has been used to assess the duration of breastfeeding and weaning in a variety of prehistoric contexts. READ MORE

4. 17. Joint Attention in Development : Insights from Children with Autism and Infant Siblings

   Author : Emilia Thorup; Terje Falck-Ytter; Gustaf Gredebäck; Peter Mundy; Uppsala universitet; []

   Abstract : Compared to other children, children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are known to engage less in joint attention - the sharing of attention between two individuals toward a common object or event. Joint attention behaviors - for example gaze following, alternating gaze, and pointing - play an important role in early development, as they provide a foundation for learning and social interaction.

5. 18. Palaeodiet and Infant Feeding in Coastal Arctic Settlements : Insights from stable isotope analysis of bone and dentine collagen and amino acids

   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Arctic; palaeodiet; Inuit; Yup’ik; infant feeding; domestic dogs; amino acids; collagen; stable isotopes; maintenance activities; gender; arkeologi med inriktning mot laborativ arkeologi; Scientific Archaeology;

   Abstract : This dissertation investigates the day-to-day activities that sustained human societies in the arctic and subarctic environments of North America and Siberia over the past 1500 years. Maintenance activities, such as food preparation, childcare, and the care of domestic animals, are commonly inflected by social identity and can provide insight into the experience of gender among archaeological and historical populations.

   Abstract : The objectives of this thesis were to develop a method for observation of maturational steps in preterm infants' breastfeeding behavior, test the reliability and validity of this method, describe this development and explore effects of certain infant and maternal factors on infant breastfeeding behavior. The Preterm Infant Breastfeeding Behavior Scale (PIBBS) was developed. READ MORE
