Information flows can affect people’s apprehension of the pandemic and related behaviors. The aim is to explore how people access and assess COVID-19 information and whether sociodemographic factors are associated with these processes. Quantitative data from 928 persons from 29 countries who participated in an international web-based survey was analyzed with descriptive and analytic statistics.

This chapter situates John Rawls’ just savings principle in a discussion about how much a nation-state should save. The main question addressed is whether this principle is a vi­able alternative to the dominant utilitarian theory of optimal growth.

In contemporary Western theatre and actor’s training, there is a tension between different traditions in the actor’s work, concerning the bodily practices that are related to representation, construction of identities, authenticity and self-expression. One aspect of the actor’s methodical tradition – the openness to suffering and sacrificing oneself in the name of the arts – will be displayed and

Empowering Children and Youththrough Law and ParticipationIn 2023, between August the 30th and September the 1st, the Child RightsInstitute at the Department of Sociology of Law, within Faculty of SocialSciences, Lund University, was arranging a three-day research conference onthe theme Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation.41 participants from 13 different countries particip

This article investigates the emergence and early use of possessive havegot in English. Two hypotheses about its emergence are tested on historical data (c.1460–1760). One hypothesis is based on communicative functionality, suggesting that got was inserted as a ‘pattern preserver’ to compensate for the increased reduction of have. The other hypothesis invokes the conventionalization of an invited

Background and aim The paper is based on a study of hunting tourism enterprising in Sweden. The paper demonstrates how game meat is ascribed different, sometimes conflicting values in the moral economy of commercial hunting and identifies an emerging process of servitization of the game meat. Recreational hunting in Sweden can be described as embedded in two different but overlapping cultural and

Sommaren 1767 påbörjade orientalisten Jacob Jonas Björnståhl (1731–1779) en resa som förde honom till Frankrike, Schweiz, Italien, Tyskland, Holland och England innan han sjövägen tog sig till Konstantinopel och så småningom Grekland, där han avled i dysenteri vid 48 års ålder. Hade det inte varit för tidningsmannen Carl Christoffer Gjörwell hade eftervärlden aldrig fått någon större kännedom om d

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture is crucial to reach global and regional climate targets. However, the efficiency of unilateral climate policies aimed at taxing emissions might be hampered by carbon leakage. One way to eliminate leakage is to implement a global carbon tax.

Most of the care in nursing homes is palliative in nature, as it is the oldest and the frailest people who live in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to explore next of kin’s experiences of participating in the care of older persons at nursing homes.

The durability of wood depends on its in-use environmental conditions. The aim of this study was to estimate the effects associated with macro climate and detail design as well as their interdependence. A numerical moisture model and two different decay prediction models were utilized for assessing the decay risk of a horizontal member and a joint exposed at 300 sites scattered across Europe. In g

Bildandet av blodceller, hematopoesen, utgår från ett litet antal av de så kallade hematopoetiska stamceller som sitter i vår benmärg. Dessa celler har förmågan att ge upphov till alla mogna blodcellstyper av de tre hematopoetiska linjerna, samtidigt som de genom celldelning bibehåller sin egna mängd. Det har uppskattats att vi endast har några tusen hematopoetiska stamceller, men trots deras rela

Episodic memories are formed by hippocampal binding of the "what" and "where" features of everyday events. The hippocampus minimizes interference between related similar episodic memories by pattern separation. Stress and psychopathology are associated with lowered pattern separation.

The oeuvre of the recently deceased Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel (1952–2014) can be described as an expression for systematically persecuted, repressed, censored minoritarian voices, both during the Chile of the dictatorship, that is during the 1970s and 1980s, as well as afterwards, in democratic Chile, that is from the 1990s onwards. These voices build discourses where gender, class or ethnic id
