In recent years, there has been a large-scale boom in mining in the present-day Swedish part of Sâpmi, leading to protests from Sâmi activists as well as environmentalist groups. To the protesters, issues of Swedish colonialism and Sâmi indigeneity are central, and history becomes important. Taking its starting point in the mining conflicts, this article discusses Sâmi archaeology and claims for S

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a complex disorder mainly of orthostatic intolerance, often accompanied by a spectrum of symptoms related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Although the diagnostic criteria require an orthostatic challenge test, the associated symptom burden can be broad and is often missed by treating healthcare professionals, resulting in significant dia

This article discusses fabrications and alternative histories, and their relationship with antiquarian and early archaeological practice, in the Baroque world through the case of an alabaster urn reportedly found in the garden of a Swedish royal castle in 1685. The urn, decorated with a strange inscription, is used to address broader issues of how the past was conceived in the Baroque world, and h

Historical archaeology in Scandinavia is an expand- ing field, but despite its global nature, the discipline is trapped in methodological nationalism. The early modern and modern societies are generally studied us- ing the current national borders even though the ma- terial culture should not be constrained in this way. By illustrating with both theoretical and empirical ex- amples, the objective

This paper deals with the presence of Sámi in central and southern Sweden in the seventeenth century. The Nordic countries have generally been believed to be ethnically homogeneous, with the** colonial subjects not being present in the center of these empires. If the multicultural aspects of early modern Nordic countries are at all discussed, Sámi and other ethnic groups are understood as peoples

The seven articles of this special issue of Post-Medieval Archaeology provide a background to this paper. Their various interpretations and operationalizations have provided a plethora of perspectives and localities concerning past political economies. This paper aims to further the discussion of political economy and its relevance in historical archaeology. The very many connections between econo

Background: Nocturnal gastro-oesophageal reflux (nGER) is common in people with respiratory diseases, but its association with pulmonary abnormalities is not known. Aim: Investigate the association between nGER and pulmonary abnormalities on chest CT in an adult general population. Methods: In total, 28 846 individuals from the general population aged 50-64 years completed questionnaires and under

In 1620, the Danish colony of Tranquebar, on the Coromandel Coast in India, was founded by an expedition jointly mounted by the Danish Crown and the Danish East India Company, under the command of the Danish nobleman Ove Gjedde. Gjedde soon went back to Denmark, but the experiences gained in the colony proved important for his future career as a military man, civil servant and industrialist. The p

Silver had an emblematic position in the 17th-century Atlantic world. After the Spanish had discovered silver ores in America, the metal’s meaning became symbolic of colonial dominion, of great wealth and providential fortune. Sweden too initiated a colonial project to obtain silver in the mountainous regions of Lapland. Silver-works were founded in order to refine the metal, and the industry borr

Drawing on Markus and Nurius’s (1986) theory of possible selves and Higgins’s (1987) theory of self-discrepancies, Dörnyei (2005, 2009) developed the L2 self-guide, a construct explaining the generation of motivation for language learning. Because Dörnyei focused on convergences in the source theories, L2MSS researchers have come to regard possible selves (Markus & Nurius, 1986) and self-guide

Objective: This study aimed to describe the regional, population-based, organised prostate cancer testing (OPT) programmes that are being introduced throughout Sweden: motives, structure, target population, diagnostic algorithm, quality control, outcomes, research, and future perspectives. Results: In 2018, the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare renewed their recommendation against scree

—Methods for estimating radiological consequences in terms of radiation doses and cancer risks are needed for informed decisions on mitigation efforts after a radionuclide event. The 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident fallout in Sweden was used as a case study. Open-source data on annual sex-specific population data in 1-y classes by municipality (n = 290), counties (n = 21), and future p

In this study, the extensive debate surrounding the public artpiece bLINK in Gothenburg is explored through a quantitative content analysis of comments published on forums connected to major media companies in the western region of Sweden. The results are then further analysed through the framework of Hanna Pitkin's theory of representation. The aim of this study is to test the explanatory pow

Bakgrund: Forskning visar att hbtqi+ som grupp i större utsträckning är utsatta för förtryck, stigmatisering och diskriminering jämfört med majoritetsbefolkningen. Många äldre hbtqi+-personer upplever oro i kontakt med vården, som följd av tidigare negativa erfarenheter. Statliga forskningsrapporter har lyft denna problematik och konstaterat att mer kunskap behövs om hur äldre hbtqi+-personer uppl

A central dimension of the conflict between Israel and Palestine concerns territorial claims and the ways in which these claims are legitimised to both domestic and international audiences. In this regard, the kibbutz is arguably the most interesting settlement form, as it has both facilitated Israeli territorial claims and attracted admiration internationally for its unique communal structure alo

In 2024 the European Declaration of Cycling was signed as a tri-institutional declaration by the European Commission, Council of the European Union and the European Parliament. For the first time, cycling was acknowledged as a fully fledged mode of transport in a EU-level framework and through it, cycling now sits officially on the agenda of the EU. Yet this level of political attention was for ma

I den här studien undersöker vi hur svensk journalistik framställer och ramar in tradwife-fenomenet, samt vilka normer kring kvinnoideal och könsroller som finns. Studien syftar även till att analysera hur medier balanserar mellan kritik och idealisering av kvinnans roll, och på så sätt synliggöra vilka värderingar, normer och ideal kring kvinnlighet och moderskap som reproduceras i journalistiken

Denna uppsats undersöker hur Europeiska unionens öppenhet har bidragit till säkerhetspolitiska sårbarheter i relationerna till Ryssland och Kina. Med utgångspunkt i globaliseringens ökade ömsesidiga beroenden analyseras hur materiella beroenden kan utvecklas till säkerhetspolitiska risker, samt hur dessa risker språkligt förstås och legitimeras i EU:s policydiskurser. Uppsatsen genomförs som en kv

Denna uppsats undersöker i vilken grad New Public Management (NPM) respektive tillitsbaserad styrning är närvarande i Arbetsförmedlingens verksamhetsplan för 2025. Studien bygger på en idealtypsanalys av verksamhetsplanen, där centrala indikatorer för de två styrningslogikerna används. Analysen visar att NPM är den dominerande styrningslogiken. Verksamhetsplanen präglas av ett starkt fokus på mätb
