This study begins in the notion that the archivist’s profession represents a certain form of power, manifested in this practice. What sort of history and which stories that will be known in the future lies very much in t

What does it mean to feel suspense? What kinds of situations give rise to the emotion? What is the connection between suspense and narrativity? And how is it that we can feel suspense upon repeat encounters with the same narrative? These questions are at the center of the first part of this study, where I develop and defend the ‘imminence theory of suspense’. Central to this theory is the claim th

I litteraturen vilken behandlar bevisvärdering går att finna två övergripande uppfattningar om bevisvärdering. Den ena är holistisk bevisvärdering, vilken utmärks av att bedömaren ser till helheten. Den andra är atomistisk bevisvärdering, vilken utmärkas av att bedömaren värderar varje bevis enskilt. Till båda dessa uppfattningar kan hänföras olika bevisteorier. Till holistisk bevisvärdering kan bIn the literature, which deals with the evaluation of evidence, two broad types of evaluating evidence can be identified.

Kan civila som blivit måltavla för krigshandlingar försonas med sina före detta fiender? Denna studie analyserar muntligt gestaltade erfarenheter hos före detta lägerfångar som frihetsberövades i början av kriget i Bosnien-Hercegovina under 1990-talet och placerades i koncentrationslägerna Omarska, Keraterm och Manjaca.

Euthymios the Athonite (or the Iberian; ca. 955–1028) is a well-known translator of Greek hagiographical and patristic texts into Georgian. He also made reverse translations, not least the story of Barlaam and Ioasaph, from Georgian into Greek. An array of Greek texts at his disposal helped him turn the story into a recognizable Byzantine text, free of dogmatic problems. Based on the results by Gr

Non-participant direct observations and daily clinical bedside follow-up observations were made during the confusional episodes, focusing on the patien

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad innebär det att muta någon? Vad är egentligen en muta? Denna studie har motiverats av sådana frågor. Det centrala argumentet är att mutor och korruption inte enbart tillhör ett samhälles juridiska sfär utan även dess sociala och moraliska. Om ett agerande ska anses korrupt eller hederligt, klandervärt eller klanderfritt (eller någonting däremellan) avgörs inte enbarWhat does it mean to bribe someone? What is the meaning of bribes? Questions like these have motivated this study. Its central argument is that the folk meanings of “bribes” and “corruption” depend on people’s symbolic demarcations and definitions. Corruption is something we actively define as well as something through which we define ourselves. A specific case has been used: stories about bribes

In the global north, we seem well informed of the pending climate crisis, but despite criticism of un-sustainability, it seems as if we lack alternatives to eco-modernist solutions. Although not unproblematic, degrowth and other alternatives do exist, but are somehow non-existing in the public debate. Within political ecology and ecological economics this can be explained in terms of “capitalistic
