This paper investigates the significance of care between generations in Sweden. This is done towards the background of a strong narrative in both popular and sociological discourses depicting the Nordic countries in general, and Sweden in particular, as the ‘most individualized’ society in the world, where the expansive welfare state is seen as having taken over care responsibilities, leading to w

Urbanisation is one of the biggest environmental challenges of our time, yet we still lack an integrative understanding of how cities affect behaviour, physiology and parasite susceptibility of free-living organisms. In this study, we focus on carotenoids, strictly dietary micronutrients that can either be used as yellow-red pigments, for integument colouration (signalling function), or as antioxi

The term “charisma” is recognized as sociology's most successful export to common speech. While sociologists habitually dismiss popular uses of the word, we address its vernacularity head on as a worthy object of study and as a potential resource for conceptual development. Using machine learning, we locate “charisma” within the wider discursive field out of which it arises (and continues to arise

Every day we talk and speak and chat to people. We write and listen to each other, refer to each other, describe to each other what we and others have done and said. Doing this, we sometimes use our given names, sometimes we go by our nicknames, which often indicate or clarify who we are or are made up by ourselves to draw other people’s attention. Nicknames can be official or informal, known by m

Zooplankton accumulate several groups of photoprotective compounds to shield against damaging ultraviolet radiation (UV). One of these groups, the carotenoids, makes the animals more conspicuous to visually hunting predators, whereas others, such as the mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) may not. The blend of photoprotective compounds is therefore important for the UV defense but also for the abi

Gender, being an identity contingency as coined by Claude M. Steele in his book Whistling Vivaldi, is not self-chosen, is virtually impossible to escape, and comes with expectations, prejudice and – most importantly – uneven pre-conditions for our choices in life. Gender inequality is a wide-spread problem, causing much harm on theindividual and societal levels, and the academic world is no exempt

Kiselalgsanalys eller Kvävefosforanalys? Av: Anders Andersson 2017 Övergödning är ett växande problem som anses vara den främsta orsaken till försämring av vattenkvaliteten i vattendrag. För att studera vattenkvaliteten finns olika metoder, kiselalgernas egenskap som påväxtalger innebär att de inte kan flytta på sig. De antingen måste anpassa sig eller försvinna när förändringar sker i vattnet. IdEutrophication is one of the most threatening issues to water quality in natural water. It can cause problems of the ecosystem, with for example, lowering the biodiversity of the community. The main reason for eutrophication in natural waters is the leakage of nutrients from nearby crop-fields. Too much of nutrients reaches the water and negatively interferes with the water community. To study the

Bakgrund: Operationssalen ställer höga krav på ventilationssystemen för att bevara en luftkvalitet som inte bidrar till att patienter drabbas av postoperativa infektioner som är en av de vanligaste vårdrelaterade infektionerna i Sverige. Ventilationssystemen har som syfte att minska antal bakterier och partiklar i luften. Operationssjuksköterskan har som ansvar att arbeta infektionspreventivt och Background: The operating room places high demands on the ventilation systems to maintain an air quality that does not contribute to patients suffering from postoperative infections, which is one of the most common healthcare related infections in Sweden. The purpose of the ventilation systems is to reduce the number of bacteria and particles in the air. The operation nurse is responsible for work
