How dare we? The relation between language use, global identity, and climate activism

Identifying with and caring for people all over the world (i.e., a global identity) is positively related to pro-environmental behaviour. However, less is known how to foster such a global identity. Drawing on social identity theory, we investigated whether using inclusive (vs. exclusive) language in the context of demonstrations for climate protection increases people’s global identity. Moreover,

Intergenerational altruism and climate policy preferences

Climate mitigation constitutes an intergenerational moral dilemma; the decisions we make today will inevitably shape the prospects for generations to come. Yet, we still know little about the relationship between intergenerational altruism (IGA)—our concerns for the well-being of future generations—and support for costly climate mitigation policies. In this study, we present an approach to measuri

Finding a safe space for learning and exploration : A qualitative study of recently diagnosed men's experiences of peer support for HIV in Sweden

Onset of mould growth – the effect of climate variability and different geographic locations

This paper presents a study on how climate conditions at numerous locations in Sweden affect the risk of onset of mould on wood sheltered outdoors. The results indicate that the risk is clearly higher in the south compared to the north of Sweden. These differences are mainly explained by colder and dryer winter periods in the north which is unfavorable for development of mould. The results also sh

Mortality in STEMI patients without standard modifiable risk factors : a sex-disaggregated analysis of SWEDEHEART registry data

Background: In cardiovascular disease, prevention strategies targeting standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs; hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, and smoking) are crucial; however, myocardial infarction in the absence of SMuRFs is not infrequent. The outcomes of individuals without SMuRFs are not well known. Methods: We retrospectively analysed adult patients with firs

The visual ecology of bees - Tales of diverse eyes and behaviours

Binas surrande är en viktig komponent för känslan av sommar. Men, förutom många hyllmeter av litteratur om några vanliga arter av honungsbi och humlor, vet vi än idag förvånansvärt lite om många av de tjugofem tusen arter vi kallar bin. Vissa humlor överlever Grönlands minusgrader och hårda vindbyar, medan de i Amazonas snarare älskar skogens höga temperatur och fuktighet. Vissa arter bor i stora The buzzing flight of bees is a popular summer hit. Yet, outside of a few familiar species of honeybees and bumblebees, these fantastic little creatures are still mostly unknown. With about twenty-five thousand species, bees are a very diverse group. They can be found in drastically different habitats. For example, some kinds of bumblebees endure the freezing temperatures and windswept tundra of G

"Jag tror inte att värdegrunden var Guds gåva till Polisen när den kom": Värdet av en värdegrund inom Polisens organisationskultur.

In 2009 the Swedish police organization was presented to a new set of core values, meant to clarify their mission for themselves as well as for the public, and to consequently make Swedish police better.

Sedan 2010 är föräldrar som är vårdnadshavare solidariskt skadeståndsskyldiga med sina barn för skador som barnen orsakat genom brott. Ansvaret är begränsat till sak- och personskador samt skador genom kränkning, och skadeståndets storlek begränsat till en femtedels prisbasbelopp per skadehändelse.

The liability is limited to property and personal injuries as well as damages through violation, and the amount of the damages is limited to one-fifth of the price base amount per claim.
