Two decades into the young history of e-participation research, we aim to take stock of the state of this field in the light of three developments that we argue have substantial implications for research on electronic participation:(1) dissolving boundaries between online and offline spheres of political participation;(2) academic isolation of e-participation research from other research fields re
This text discusses the professional development of academic developers. It is based on the authors’ reflections and observations in the context of a semi-formal programme, Strategic Academic Development, held for academic developers in different regions of the world. Most recently the programme participants were academic developers in Singapore. In this text, we as authors share what we notice as
This theoretical exposition proposes the critique of exaggeration as the approach to any philosophy that deals with the so-called existential themes. It provides the example of exaggeration in thinking beyond being in contrast to the question of being without exaggeration. Finally, it proposes the critique of exaggeration as a philosophical attitude that resists the temptation to seriously engage
This article investigates factory regimes in Kryvyi Rih, a mining and metalworking city in eastern Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it studies the reproduction of industrial hegemony in the context of major post-Soviet transformations (privatization and austerity measures). The comparison of three cases representing different hegemonic configurations (mines privatized by Ukrainian busines
The risk of above-ankle reamputation following a transmetatarsal amputation is around 30%. Patient selection may be crucial to achieve good outcomes, and to avoid futile operations and suffering. We are aware of no previous comparison between the two largest patient groups that undergo lower extremity amputations: patients with diabetes, and patients with non-diabetic peripheral artery disease. Pa
Det är inte konstigt att många efter den arabiska våren har talat om både Turkiet och Sverige som samhälleliga förebilder, skriver Umut Ozkirimli och Spyros A Sofos.
According to the thinking-for-speaking (TFS) hypothesis, speakers of different languages think differently while in the process of mentally preparing content for speech. The aim of the present paper is to critically discuss the research carried out within the TFS paradigm, against the background of the basic tenets laid out by the proponents of this framework. We will show that despite substantial
AimThe risk of mesh-related surgical complications after umbilical hernia repair is not known and chronic pain has only sparsely been analysed. Economic claims may represent a surrogate for poor postoperative surgical outcomes. Thus, the present study used mesh-related complications and chronic pain as primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.Material and MethodsBlinded assessment of Swedish a
With increasing competition and noise level in the third sector, Germany’s non-profit organisations have to start considering alternative ways of how to be heard by their target audiences and how to raise funds for their projects. Additionally, with technological developments and the rise of Web 2.0 this becomes particularly challenging. Strategic planning of communication and public relations act
This thesis explores the labour integration of documented-non-European immigrants into the Swedish labour market through their immigrants' networks. Most documented-non-European immigrants face labour integration challenges due to the lack of specific labour skills. In Sweden's case, most jobs on the labor market are highly-skilled jobs that require that the immigrant acquires or possesses
The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary
Small populations are prone to inbreeding depression due to the increased likelihood of mating between close relatives, resulting in the expression of deleterious recessive mutations. While this increases the risk of population extinction, high levels of inbreeding can initiate a purging process, where natural selection gradually eliminates strongly deleterious mutations. This purging effect has b
European strategic autonomy has been a fluctuating discussion since the end of the Second World War. It has primarily been the project of France, but has mostly failed to materialise. This is partly due to other European states’ worry that such a project would become an extension of French national interests. Some of the strongest opponents of an exclusive European defence cooperation have been sm
Exekutiv funktion är en sammansättning av flera förmågor som är avgörande för ungas möjlighet att hantera krav i skolan och samhället. Studier tyder på att det finns ett samband mellan exekutiv funktion och psykisk ohälsa, däribland ångest, depression och icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende. Tidigare forskning har främst studerat exekutiv funktion utifrån psykologiska test samt undersökt ungdomar meExecutive function refers to a set of skills important for adolescents’ ability to handle school and societal demands. Research has shown associations between executive function and mental health problems, including anxiety, depression and non-suicidal self-injury. However, prior studies have mainly investigated executive function through psychological testing and focused on individuals with concu
Krämarkapellet/The Chapel (US Premiere)The piece 'Eroded Memories of Heaven and Beyond' (inspired by Krämarkapellet in Petri Kyrka) was performed by Peter Sheppard Skærved, solo violin
Over the summer of 2024, a group of composers collaborated with violinist Peter Sheppard Skærved to respond to the ‘Merchant’s Chapel’ in the Petri-Kyrka, Malmö. This is one of the very few elaborately decorated religious spaces in Scandinavia that was not destroyed during the Reformation and iconoclasm of the mid-1500s. Each composer crafted an original response to the riotous decoration and extr
