In this paper, we argue that e-participation research is at a crossroads as its theories and empirical scope are increasingly detached from the contemporary relationship between information technology and political participation. We illustrate this challenge through two developments: (1) the dissolving boundaries between online and offline spheres of political participation and (2) the growing di

This case study illustrates how family members can assist in the care of teenagers with diabetes but that there are also serious risks actualized by such involvement. In particular, it highlights ethical complications that arise when the role of a family member is changed from ‘parent’ to ‘care provider’. The ‘counseling, self-care, adherence’ (CSA) approach offers a look at the role that family c

The last decade has seen significant shifts in the framework conditions of living and working in the academic life sciences, such as changing funding structures, increasing project-type character of scientific work and the integration of multiple quality assessment mechanisms into structures of scientific knowledge production. Alongside these changes there have also been significant transformation

According to popular understandings, children grow from a state of dependence to eventually become independent adults. Interdependence helps to disrupt the in/dependence binary and is a useful concept for making sense of the experiences young people with variations in sex characteristics in relation to healthcare. This study used semi-structured interviews with 32 health professionals, 33 caregive

Outlier detection in high-dimensional data is a complex task, useful in many fields. One major application is in healthcare, where the high-dimensional healthcare registers can be used to detect patterns related to the medical behaviour and state of the population. In this project, neural network based autoencoders were used to study the Covid-19 vaccination campaign, where it was trained on healt

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur och vilka ledarskapsbaserade förhandlingsstyrkor som påverkar VD:s värdeappropriering i komplexa firmor. Vi föreslår att variablerna VD:s förmåga till enhetligt agerande i komplexa firmor, VD:s kontroll över information i komplexa firmor, och VD:s utbyteskostnad i komplexa firmor påverkar värdeapproprieringen positivt medan variabeln VD:s utträdeskost

This paper questions the relation between narrative and symbolic violence in a Japanese context. It stresses the importance of children’s literature for socialization into a specific sociocultural reality and it especially focuses on the role played by folktales and picture books with their representations of narrative violence. By assuming a structural perspective on the sociology of childhood, t

This thesis studies the Women’s Situation Room Nigeria, a women-led project aimed to prevent electoral violence and increase women’s participation in elections. The aim of this study is to see what kind of impact this project has had on electoral violence in Nigeria. The study is conducted as a single-N comparative case study, comparing the levels of electoral violence in the general elections of

The objective of this thesis has been twofold. Firstly, the purpose has been to examine how the outcomes for tax purposes, at the company level, differ depending on whether the assets transferred in a merger remain attributable to a P.E. in the state of the transferring company, when those assets are subsequently realised with a loss after having decreased in value, post-merger, to a level below t

This investigation will analyze how the genre historical fiction, more specifically the novel Falling Angels (2001) written by Tracy Chevalier, can be used in the EFL (English as Foreign Language) classroom in upper secondary school in Sweden. It will argue that the different themes approached by the novel are interesting points of departure to be used in the classroom for both language learning a

Enligt regelverken tillämpliga i icke-internationella väpnade konflikter, gemensamma artikeln 3 i Genèvekonventionerna samt tilläggsprotokoll 2, erbjuds skydd till civila som inte direkt deltar i strid. En gemensam definition av vad som anses vara direkt deltagande i strid existerar inte i tillämpliga traktat i den internationella humanitära rätten och inte heller förser nationell eller internatioThe regulations applicable in non-international armed conflicts, Common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions I-IV and Additional Protocol II, offer protection to civilians who do not directly participate in the hostilities. There is no commonly accepted definition of direct participation in hostilities in treaty-based international humanitarian law, State practice or international jurisprudence.

Background As new product development is becoming more important due to higher and more global competition the new product introduction process needs to be efficient in order to launch new products before they become obsolete. Therefore, a more efficient development process with integrated functions is needed. Concurrent engineering claims to be this and has support in much research. However, conc

Using a critical agrarian studies approach, this study focuses on the history and current context of hop production in Sweden and adjoining parts of Scandinavia as a case study illustrating how land-use changes and the paradigm shift towards globalized agri-food systems has tended to marginalize traditional crop production as well as how completely new forms of hop production are able to practical

In this thesis, the aim is to gain an understanding of Skanör-Falsterbo’s decline by studying economy, demography, politics, environment, and the medieval categorization of the towns and comparing them to Malmö and Åhus. I have done so by using urban theory together with social practice theory where I have adapted a social-ecological-system. I have conducted this study by using historical sources,

Participation in urban development processes is increasingly demanded by citizens. In fighting for the ‘Right to the City’ urban social movements are acting as representatives of citizens and are incorporated within a complex network of power relations between several stakeholders involved. Theses power relations shape the extent of citizen participation in these processes. This thesis aims at con
