Employing the Foucauldian term ‘conduct’, this article explores how social resilience and morale became a target of state intervention in Denmark during the Cold War. ‘Psychological defence’ was a Cold War phenomenon designed to bring an imagined future war into a space of control as well as a tool for the authorities’ exercise of power in case another world war became a reality. Advocating a meth

This chapter deals with the Swedish regulation of prenatal diagnosis and the various arguments posed for or against such regulation, including whether there should be any changes in the legislation of late-term abortions. Using the metaphor ‘moral landscape,’ it explores how actors such as physicians, disability organizations, and women’s organizations negotiated their position on an issue that wa

Abstract Thiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products. The first members were reported over 40?years ago, but total synthesis of a thiosilvatin has remained elusive. Here, we describe the first, collective, synthesis of the parent epidithiodiketopiperazine (?)-dithiosilvatin and ten related thiosilvatins. Several of the targets are structurally rThiosilvatins are a family of biologically active sulfenylated diketopiperazine natural products.

Det har nu gått snart tio år sedan det uppdagades att dricksvattnet i ett av vattenverken i Ronneby, som försörjde 1/3 av hushållen med dricksvatten, var mycket kraftigt förorenat av PFAS. Visserligen kunde rent vatten omedelbart kopplas in i vattenledningsnätet, men alla som under lång tid druckit det förorenade vattnet har fortfarande förhöjda halter av PFAS i kroppen och kommer att fortsätta ha

Between 2014 and 2022, Sweden introduced a feminist foreign policy (FFP), which entailed a “systematic gender equality perspective throughout foreign policy”. This chapter focuses on how FFP was practiced and implemented by officials at Swedish Embassies around the world. Using a framework of practice theory, implementation theory and feminist institutionalism, the overarching questions guiding th

Aims T cells are present in atrial tissue from atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. However, prospective studies of T cells and AF development are few. The current aim was to investigate if T-cell subsets are associated with the risk of developing AF. Methods and results T-cell subsets, measured by flow cytometry of cryopreserved mononuclear leucocytes isolated from blood at baseline, were analysed

This study analyzes the influence techniques applied when hijacking an organizational crisis in order to construct a larger narrative about Sweden. By applying the concepts of narration, mythical speech and moral culture, the study investigates which narrative techniques are applied to generate engagement in disinformation narratives. This was done through conducting a qualitative content analysis

An emerging tool within public relations is the use of bloggers as spokespersons because of their ability to act as influencers. This study investigates how fashion bloggers present products and services they receive from companies in their blogs. The research questions address how discourses are manifested and how independence is expressed in the texts. Based on Fairclough's theory of discour

The study analyses postfeminism in an organisational context from a critical feminist perspective by exploring the contemporary perceptions of gender and gender equality in a female student career network. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate how these perceptions are projected and how they relate to organisational values, principles and processes of the organisation. Hence, How does postfem

This study aims to deduce what Japanese native speakers think of the Japanese writing systems, and in particular what native speakers’ opinions are concerning Kanji, the logographic writing system which consists of Chinese characters. The Japanese written language has something that most languages do not; namely​ a total of three writing systems. First, there is the Kana writing system, which cons

Abstract: Interest conflicts has been a major issue when it comes to urban planning especially when it comes to traffic planning.

John Lucas and Roger Penrose attempted to refute Computationalism, the theory that the human mind is a computational system. They did so by utilizing meta-mathematical proofs by Kurt Gödel. I will explore various objections made against the attempt and discover that it relies on two uncertain premises – human consistency and proof for the consistency of a formal system. Revisions of the argument a

Single use medical devices have been the widespread practice for clinical work for many years. However, the negative environmental impacts of using disposable products have also attracted attention worldwide. To choose a disposable or reusable medical device should not only encompass economic and clinical safety aspects but also environmental impact. This study has compared environmental impact be

Adverse consequences of global climate change increasingly affect society and economic performance. Climate finance structure supports mitigation and adaptation actions that address climate change. Developing economies are adopting climate adaptation measures to cope with the current climate situation and simultaneously promote sustainable development. The interrelation between climate adaptation

This thesis examines the influence of a foreign-born background on students’ educational choices in Sweden, focusing on the selection between vocational and university preparatory programmes in upper secondary education (gymnasium). Recognising that personal experiences and social contexts shape such decisions, a qualitative methodology was adopted to explore the underlying motivations and influen
