El Sistema, the originally Venezuelan music teaching movement is spreading worldwide, suggesting Western classical music as a tool for counteracting poverty and segregation. In Sweden, this represents an interesting and perhaps pro- voking twist, as the hegemony of classical music in music teacher education has since long been replaced by the hegemony of popular music. Based on eldwork during the
Many innovations arise spontaneously as a result of the market mechanism and the actions of capitalist firms, but some, especially the more radical ones, require public intervention. The first part of this chapter discusses when such policy interventions might be necessary and why. The next section discusses selectivity in innovation policy. The last (main) section of the chapter discusses the gen
The association between contextual factors and health inequalities is well documented, also in Brazil. However, questions about how contextual factors actually affect health and well-being persist. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore how contextual factors-i.e., social stratification and neighborhood opportunity structures-are manifested in the lives of the residents of a vulnerable d
Zoegas kaffe skapade kaffesorten Maria Zoega, som lanserades i slutet av september 2018. Detta kaffe var en direkt följd av företagets samverkan med projektet "Normkritiska perspektiv på lokal historia" där det under projektets försorg togs fram ny information som visade på Maria Zoegas betydelse för kaffeföretaget. Denna information ledde till att företagets historia skrevs om, att det lanserades
Contaminated ground is a severe problem which is present in many countries, and it is of great importance to find efficient solutions to deal with it. In Sweden, there is a trend in the industry to move towards alternate remediation methods and on that scope in-situ bioremediation has received a lot of attention. The main challenge with in-situ bioremediation is to verify that the treatment has th
We report the use of multinodal acoustic trapping for high throughput and high capacity capturing of EV's (extracellular vesicles) for quantitative mass spectrometry analysis. The multinode trapping unit was shown to isolate sufficient amount of EV's from dilute biological samples (urine and cell culture supernatant) at flow rates of 500 ul/min within minutes, enabling EV proteome profiling. This
The role of seniority rules in employment protection. A comparison between Sweden, Germany and Norway.
South Korea’s past offers an example of an authoritarian context in which police roles proliferated. Besides maintaining order, police officers in Seoul were deployed for all sorts of purposes. Police were positioned as representatives of a state that had, in the 1960s and 1970s, ambitious plans for remaking society. Seoul’s large underclass posed, in the visions of City Hall and the central gover
This ethnographic research on ‘Workaway’ investigates new forms of mobility experiences, in between travel and migration, which are used by a plethora of types of people (both hosts and guests) with different motivations (learning new skills and experiences), needs, ambitions, dreams, as well as/or life-time crisis, and different types of problems (e.g. lack of finances, no opportunity or prospect
Post-cardiac arrest brain injury (PCABI) is caused by initial ischaemia and subsequent reperfusion of the brain following resuscitation. In those who are admitted to intensive care unit after cardiac arrest, PCABI manifests as coma, and is the main cause of mortality and long-term disability. This review describes the mechanisms of PCABI, its treatment options, its outcomes, and the suggested stra
