Background: Teaching quality is commonly assessed through classroom observation. However, observer ratings of teaching quality frequently exhibit limited psychometric quality. Beyond evaluating the ratings themselves, exploring the observation process and the design of the video environment may offer valuable insights into conditions that enhance rating accuracy. Aims: This study explored the clas
Virtual reality (VR) offers promising opportunities for procedural learning, particularly in preserving intangible cultural heritage. Advances in generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) further enrich these experiences by enabling adaptive learning pathways. However, evaluating such adaptive systems using traditional temporal metrics remains challenging due to the inherent variability in Gen-A
This paper examines the birth of the exploitative sockenlappssystemet (the ‘Parish Lapp’ system) in central Sweden during the early eighteenth century. Based on a foundation of control and eviction instituted in earlier laws, the 1720s saw a forceful rise in royal concern over the existence of nomadic Sámi in central Sweden. His Majesty King Fredrik I specifically expressed fear of damage to the r
This paper examines traces of Sámi habitation in southern and central Scandi-navia, particularly Sweden, addressing the late medieval period to the end of thenineteenth century. It begins with Swedish judicial policy against Sámi nomadismin central Sweden, followed by a discussion of medieval Sámi material culture insouthern Scandinavia. Further analysis addresses so-called Parish-Lapp indenture,w
The dissertation Deductionis coloniarum rationes & causae, submitted at Uppsala University in 1668 under the presidency of Johannes Schefferus, appears to be the firstcontribution to the Swedish discourse on the subject of colonisation and colonialism. In this paper, a translation of the text is presented with a commentary and a list of sources. In an introduction to the translation, which dis
In 1959, the politics of assimilation led to the creation of a set of municipally organised camps for Roma people in the Stockholm area. The camps were to function as controlled settlements of transition for Roma families awaiting proper homes. This paper focuses on one such camp – the Skarpnäck Camp – which existed longer than anticipated, to the point that its continued operation was criticised
During a period of 40 years in the second half of the 17th century, a process of industrialization was initialized in the northern part of the Torne River valley, northern Sweden. The industrialization was the result of global demand for copper and brass, but its practice was a local and regional encounter between different groups of people with a manifold of identities, languages, e
This chapter builds upon three streams of experience by its author: (a) one related to his six-year term as the first UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and counterterrorism (2005-2011), namely the identification of the absence of a proper international definition of terrorism as an important source of human rights abuses, (b) his observation of actual court practice and media coverage where de
Much scholarship has critiqued the fact that non-governmental organisations (NGOs), as a result of global neoliberalism and consequential state retreat, have become private service providers of children’s protection rights. But how can we explain the situation when neoliberal states also undergo autocratisation and take back service provision from NGOs, while at the same time preserving the privat
BACKGROUND: Intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia are known to separately carry a high risk of comorbidity of mental health and physical conditions. However, the prevalence and risk of comorbidities among people diagnosed with concurrent ID and schizophrenia have to date not been studied.METHODS: From a cohort including all people in Skåne, Sweden, the following three groups were establis
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared
The 1807 Slave Trade Act banned slave imports across the British Empire, triggering a sharp supply shock. Using newly digitised tax censuses from the Cape Colony, this article examines slave accumulation patterns in Stellenbosch and Graaff-Reinet following the supply shock. Despite stark ecological and institutional differences, both districts show similar post-abolition trajectories. This challen
There is a positive association between bacteraemia with Streptococcus bovis-Streptococcus equinus complex (SBSEC) and colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the relationship between the timing of SBSEC bacteraemia and CRC is not well-established. Associations with other gastrointestinal cancers have also been suggested. Using national registries, we retrospectively examined the incidence of CRC and ot
Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective and safe way to prevent HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men (MSM). PrEP became available to MSM in Sweden in 2018, but there have been challenges in its accessibility. The aim of this study was to gain an improved understanding of the lived experience of MSM enrolled in a PrEP program in Sweden. Data were collected through in-d
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced
In this paper we present the first investigation of the C–N coupling reaction between N-tosylhydrazones including O-peracylated 2,6-anhydro-aldose tosylhydrazones and 1H-1,2,3-triazoles under catalyst-free conditions. This transformation is characterized by relatively mild thermal conditions, high regioselectivity in favor of 2,4-disubstituted 2H-1,2,3-triazoles and broad functional group tole
