The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the ‘normality’ of our everyday lives, but it did so in the wake of a series of crises within the capitalist system, which worsened the conditions for a liveable world for many while benefitting only a few. In response to these crises, the contributions in this issue highlight the diverse ways activists continue to organise in the midst of social, political, and eco
Background: Bariatric surgery is a standard treatment for severe obesity, but little is known about patients’ perceptions about the long-term impact of such surgery. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of living with a bariatric procedure for more than a decade. Setting: University hospital. Methods: At the 10-year follow-up after undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypa

Prior research has shown that companies in various industrial contexts need to achieve both exploitation of current knowledge and technologies to make profits today, and exploration of new knowledge and technologies to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s demands. The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations d
While the concept of hybridisation(blending of different organisational forms, logics, or identities) in public administration has gained traction, its interplay with principal‐agent dynamics, especially within developmentcooperation, remains underexplored. Recent shifts towards the “whole‐of‐society”paradigmin Swedish development cooperation introduce complexities in the inter‐organisational dyn
There are many definitions of resilience, but in general it refers to the ability of a system, which may be a community, society, or economic system that are exposed to extreme disturbances, persistent stress, or hazards to resist, absorb, accommodate, adapt to, transform and recover from effects of the situation in a timely and efficient manner (PreventionWeb n.d.;). Sustainability is focused on

A moral Historiography without Moralism. Critical views on modern Church History Efforts for realism without moral judgments have identified morals with present law. This leads to positivistic positions, where moral questions are being answered with references to historical legal situations only, without moral implications. With the political changes 1989–1990 a change in historiography followed.

Web-based mindfulness interventions have shown beneficial health outcomes for both clinical and healthy populations, and may help families cope and overcome barriers that can otherwise hinder a help-seeking process. Aims: To develop and assess outcomes of a web-based mindfulness intervent
Today’s multimedia and DSP applications impose requirements on performance and power consumption that only custom processor architectures with SIMD capabilities can satisfy. However, the specific features of such architectures, including vector operations and high-bandwidth complex memory organization, make them notoriously complicated and time consuming to program. In this paper we present an aut
Den kände astronomen Tycho Brahe initierade meteorologiska observationer på ön Ven som noterades i endagbok, nästan oavbrutet från oktober 1582 till april 1597. Fastän observationerna huvudsakligen är kvalitativapå grund av dåtida brist på instrument och metoder kan en stor mängd användbar information erhållas fråndagboken beträffande molntäcke, nederbörd, vindhastighet och riktning, temperaturför
BackgroundCellulase enzymes have been reported to contribute with a significant share of the total costs and greenhouse gas emissions of lignocellulosic ethanol production today. A potential future alternative to purchasing enzymes from an off-site manufacturer is to integrate enzyme and ethanol production, using microorganisms and part of the lignocellulosic material as feedstock for enzymes. Thi
Ov Cristian Norocels artikel diskuterar den svenska högerradikala populismenutifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv. Han kartlägger Sverigedemokraternas omtolkningar av den nationella metaforen om ”det svenska folkhemmet” och analyserar konstruktionen av maskuliniteter inom svensk högerradikal populism. Norocel för fram en specifik tolkning av den begreppsliga metaforteorin, en tolkning som innefattar
The Texas Revised Inventory of Grief (TRIG) was developed to measure the intensity of grief after the death of a close person. It consists of two scales: TRIG I (past behaviors) and TRIG II (present feelings). Because of inconsistencies in previous validations, the instrument needs to be further validated, hence the aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the TRIG in a sam
