This chapter articulates a strategic canvas for degrowth, based on a dialogue with the work of Erik Olin Wright. It argues that degrowth strategies for social- ecological transformation need to combine several strategic approaches, reflecting the plurality of degrowth as a movement. To support the myriad of bottom-up alternatives that are already out there, degrowth actors should put a special emp

Disability scholars have recently proposed that republican theory is relevant to think about justice in relation to disability. Following in their footsteps, this article submits that the republican conception of freedom as non-domination provides a fresh angle to legitimise disability rights in terms of justice and prevent their interpretation as charity or privileges. This proposition takes its

This chapter starts with outlining a degrowth vision for social-ecological transformation. It then traces the existing discussion on strategy in the degrowth movement and explains why it is important to think about strategy. Its key contribution is a conceptualiation strategy, which builds on and is closely aligned with our understanding of degrowth. Finally, it introduces the book and its structu

Syftet med det här kapitlet är att belysa grundläggande villkor för organiseringen av diakonala insatser i Svenska kyrkans församlingar. Vi kommer i första hand fokusera på sådana villkor som rör verksamheten i sig men teologiska förutsättningar berörs också. Vi kommer att konstatera att det i stort saknas riktlinjer för organiseringen av församlingarnas diakoni. Arbetets organisering skiljer sig

BACKGROUND: There has been a growing body of evidence associating consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with adverse health outcomes including depression, cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality. However, whether UPF are associated with dementia is unknown. The authors investigated the associations between UPF and dementia incidence in UK biobank.METHODS: We included 72,083 participants (

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate if ilio-femoral calcium score (CS) combined with Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) can improve the prediction of long-term survival after EVAR.METHODS: All the patients who underwent infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for non-ruptured AAA between January 2004 and December 2012 at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively included if the p

Sjögren's disease is a complex autoimmune disease with twelve established susceptibility loci. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies ten novel genome-wide significant (GWS) regions in Sjögren's cases of European ancestry: CD247, NAB1, PTTG1-MIR146A, PRDM1-ATG5, TNFAIP3, XKR6, MAPT-CRHR1, RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP6, TYK2, SYNGR1. Polygenic risk scores yield predictability (AUROC = 0.71) and

När Svenska kyrkan, den gamla lutherska statliga institutionen för tro och tillhörighet, ges ny inramning i ett välfärdssamhälle som förändras – förändras då även bilden av kyrkans sociala ansvarstagande?I detta kapitel är ambitionen att beskriva Svenska kyrkans roll i förhållande först till ”välfärdsstaten” och sedan till den välfärdsmix eller den ”välfärdspluralism” som präglar förhållandena ida
