With recent increased media attention on sexual assault against women, many people question why so many women do not report the crimes. One key may reason lies in the phenomenon of victim blaming. This study examined the effects of social dominance orientation (SDO) and perspective-taking on victim blaming after a sexual assault using a between-subjects experimental design. 111 participants respon
Denna studie undersöker hur syriska och ukrainska flyktingar är representerade i svensk media. Frågorna som ställs är hur medias representation av flyktingar 2015 och 2022 skiljer sig åt, och i vilken utsträckning de representeras som individer med mänskliga rättigheter. Studien använder sig av tryckta nyhetsartiklar publicerade av den svenska nyhetstidningen Aftonbladet under de två tidsperiodernThis study examines the ways Syrian and Ukrainian refugees are represented in Swedish media. The questions posed are how media’s representation of refugees in 2015 and 2022 differentiate, and to what extent they are represented as subjects of human rights. The study makes use of printed news articles published by the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet during the two time periods. The theoretical framew
Denna studie syftar till att analysera användning av begreppen trygghet/otrygghet utifrån den diskurs som förs av sittande regeringspartier och Sverigedemokraterna med koppling till det omtvistade Tidöavtalet. Begreppen trygghet/otrygghet har varit centrala inom svensk politiksedan 1900-talet. Den diskurs som förs av Tidöpartierna är inget undantag. I Tidöavtalet presenteras ett flertal trygghetss
As international actors and public policies have centered the ambition of gender equity, empowerment has become a buzzword within international development. With its original conceptualization suggesting a process of redefining the structures of power, feminist scholars have noted how empowerment has been robbed of its central element; power. Originally meant to be a political concept enabling mar
Renewed geopolitical tensions and rising protectionism have once again placed tariffs at the center of international trade policy. Following Donald Trump’s return to the White House in 2025, substantially higher tariffs were reimposed on Chinese imports, raising concerns about global spillover effects beyond bilateral U.S.-China trade. In particular, European policymakers have expressed concern th
We report the inclusion of phonon scattering to our recently established numerical package QmeQ for transport in quantum dot systems. This enables straightforward calculations for a large variety of devices. As examples we show (i) transport in a double-dot structure, where energy relaxation is crucial to match the energy difference between the levels, and (ii) the generation of electrical power b
Purpose: This paper aims to increase understanding on how co-locating in a multi-firm campus setting could be of value to healthcare organizations. Design/methodology/approach: The paper presents a qualitative case study of two health campuses in Finland. The data comprises interviews with different organizations operating on the campuses, complemented by onsite observations, and analysis of archi
The purpose of this research is twofold: first, to evaluate how occupant behavior in a neutral environment influences the overall greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption of multi-family apartment buildings, and second: to establish which activities associated with housing companies produce the most greenhouse gas emissions. The research comprised of a multiple cases of housing companies da
Over the past few years, shared spaces for students, entrepreneurs and faculty have become popular on university campuses. This study aims at increasing understanding on how a new co-working space is developed on campus, and what the different stakeholders’ roles are in the development process. The single case study is a recently emerged ‘learning, networking, and innovation platform’ for energy,
In empirical research it is often of interest to include non-linear functions of the explanatory variables, such as squares or interactions, in the specification. A popular technique to estimate such models in the presence of common factors is the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) methodology. However, this approach assumes that the regressors are linear in the factors, which is not the case if vari
We have recently shown that the G protein-coupled receptor 142 (GPR142) is expressed in both rodent and human pancreatic β-cells. Herein, we investigated the cellular distribution of GPR142 within islets and the effects of selective agonists of GPR142 on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in the mouse islets and INS-1832/13 cells. Double-immunostaining reveale
Vector navigation, i.e., maintaining a constant heading for a given amount of time, is hypothesized to provide a viable basis for the navigational feats of a number of long-distance animal migrants. Since animals following this strategy are subject to drift by wind or by ocean current, performing long migrations relying on vector navigation is particularly challenging. We tested whether vector nav
IntroductionThe World Health Organization (WHO) has concluded that physical inactivity and overweight/obesity are the world's fourth and fifth leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases, respectively. This article investigates the potential for active commuting by bicycle in Scania county, southern Sweden, and its possible impact on public health. Physical inactivity is a growing problem o
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning2008 infördes en reform inom svensk politik för arbetskraftsmigration som möjliggjorde för personer utanför EU att komma till Sverige för att arbeta om de erbjudits anställning oavsett utbildningsbakgrund. Reformen har fått mycket uppmärksamhet och ritat om kartan för svensk migrationspolitik. Till ett av de mindre utforskade områdena hör s.k. spårbyten, det vill Many people believe that changes in Swedish migration politics in the last decade signal a turning point and perhaps the end of the well-reputed Swedish exceptionalism. In 2008, Swedish labour migration policy was transformed into one of the most open in whole OECD, whilst Swedish asylum migration policy, known for its humanitarianism, took a significant turn toward restrictiveness in 2016. For se
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess how participation in party activities with guides affects alcohol consumption among young tourists at an international nightlife resort. Methods: Prospective survey of 112 Danish tourists in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, who were asked about their drinking and activities with guides on three separate nights out. Results: Participation in party activities wit
Objective: To evaluates the effect of food intake on 92 oncological biomarkers to evaluate whether the timing of blood sampling could be relevant. Twenty-two healthy subjects were investigated. A total of 92 biomarkers were measured before a standardised meal as well as 30 and 120 min afterwards with the Proseek Multiplex Oncology II kit. Results: The levels of 6 biomarkers decreased significantly
One of the most important theological questions in the first Origenist controversy was that of the resurrection of the dead. Jerome accused both Origen and contemporary “Origenists” of speaking only of the resurrection of the body, and not of the flesh, and he claimed that an idea of resurrection without the flesh could not guarantee the identity between the body living on earth and the resurrecte
Within cognitive science, narratives are regarded as crucial and fundamental cognitive instruments or tools. As Roger Schank suggests, the identity of (sub-)cultures is to a considerable extent based upon the sharing of narrative structures (Schank. 1995. Tell me a story: Narrative and intelligence. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press.). According to Schank, culturally shared stories, as d
Arrangements of nanometer-sized particles were obtained on plane oxidized silicon substrates by direct deposition from the gas phase. The particles were attracted onto charge patterns created by contact charging. Monodisperse, singly charged indium aerosol particles with a diameter of 30 nm were used as a test case to illustrate this process. Due to the surface treatment, the deposition is highly
