Like other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being. We argue that the enactment of objectivity in situ relies on objectivity work including emotion management and empathy. Building on qualitative interviews and observations in Swedish district courts, we analyse courtroom interaction through a dramaturgical lens, highlighting tacit siLike other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being.

This special issue of Oñati Socio-Legal Series, titled Judging, Emotion and Emotion Work, is the result of presentations and discussions during an interdisciplinary workshop at the International Institute for the Sociology of Law (IISL) held in May 2018. This issue builds on the growing critique of the dispassionate ideal of judicial work, combining original theoretical insights with imaginative e

Introducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions. Through key concepts in the sociology of emotions we relate professional court actors’ emotionmanagement to the emotional regime of the judiciary. Examples from the Swedish judiciary illustrate three main arguments:(a) The idea of rational justice as noIntroducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions.

Although spatial resolution in fluorescence microscopy and related fields has advanced to the nanometer scale, time resolution has remained essentially unchanged and is set by the camera system’s imaging time. Yet adequate time resolution is crucial for information acquisition about, for instance, dynamical processes in cells. This acquisition typically proceeds by analyzing biomolecular trajector

Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) is central to promoting adolescents’ sexual health and rights. In Sweden, CSE is now referred to as Sexuality, Consent and Relationships (SCR) education, following a curriculum revision in 2022. This study explored how upper secondary school students (aged 16–19) experienced SCR education. A digital questionnaire was completed in the classroom by 1378 studen

AIMS: Vascular atherosclerotic calcification is a pathological process marked by the abnormal deposition of calcium minerals in the intima. Asporin (ASPN) is a small leucine-rich proteoglycan which interacts with collagen and calcium. Due to its role in matrix mineralization, we hypothesized that ASPN might act as a regulator of vascular calcification, thereby promoting atherosclerotic plaque stab

Morphologic diagnosis of inflammatory skin lesions is traditionally performed with punch biopsies or incisional biopsies. Skin nodules are excised for both curative and diagnostic purposes. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of skin nodules offers the possibility of avoiding surgical biopsy and provides rapid diagnosis, making it a valuable examination tool in cases of metastatic depositions i

ContextPrimary forests, with little to no direct human impact, can serve as baselines to assess land-use effects. However, most have been converted for other land-uses and the locations and characteristics of the remaining forests are poorly characterized.ObjectivesThis study presents a map of Swedish primary forests, explores their persistence in a managed landscape, and assesses their suitabilit

The chapter treats bronze casting in antiquity. It provides an overview of the development of the technique and its use for different object groups. The chapter focuses on the casting of bronze statues, the processes involved and the possibility of the medium.

This commentary re-evaluates the study by Makó et al. which reconstructs dust accumulation rates from loess–paleosol sequences in the Carpathian Basin. Several methodological and factual issues substantially limit the reliability of their interpretations. The study reports linear sedimentation rates (mm a−1) as mass accumulation rates (MARs) without accounting for bulk density, rendering their val

This review of a selection of literature in critical geography, political ecology, eco-Marxism, and ecological economics over thepast five decades reflects on the paucity of discussion on the phenomenon of modern, all-purpose money. This is paradoxical,given the almost universal denunciation of mainstream economics and capitalist political economy in this literature. The cri-tiques of environmental

Sweden’s economic growth in relation to developments in the rest of the world exhibits three distinct phases over the past 170 years. From 1890 to 1950, Sweden experienced faster growth than comparable countries. This period of liberalization was followed by a phase of lagging behind until around the turn of the millennium. This relative stagnation is closely associated with the financial repressi
