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,

From back cover: "A smart, incisive toolkit for understanding how the framing of information influences the way we see the world.In today's chaotic media landscape, working out who and what to believe is a daunting task. Lies and misinformation are only part of the problem - often the way a story is presented has just as much effect on us as what the story is.In Framing, sociologist Mikael Klintma

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

This is a quantitative study that aims to investigate the labor market integration of foreign-born people. The purpose of the study is to analyze whether gender and class - based on the concepts of habitus, cultural and symbolic capital, and symbolic violence - are variables that affect how foreign-born people's qualifications and skills are utilized in the Swedish labor market, as well as the

Focusing on space and territory, it analyses how Israeli state and settler strategies of displacement, surveillance and fragmentation are met by Palestinian community practices of Sumud (steadf

The urgency of addressing the sustainability crisis requires a comprehensive approach encompassing both technological advancements and changes in human behavior.

In Sweden men account for most new HIV cases, and little is known about the peer support needs of people living with HIV in Sweden. This qualitative study explored how recently diagnosed men perceive and experience peer support in Sweden. Purposively sampled from HIV patient organizations and infectious disease clinics throughout Sweden, data was collected through in-depth individual interviews wi

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

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

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

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. But what role does such core values play in an organization like the police, whose professional behavior is already controlled by the law? Defined as a moral risk group, numeral research points to

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. Regeln infördes trots, och utan hänsyn till, den omfattande kritik som framfördes av otaliga remissiSince 2010, parents who are custodians are jointly and severally liable with their children for damages that the children have caused by crime. 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. The rule was introduced despite, and without regard to, the extensive

In July 2017, the Egyptian police and military forces implemented a government decision that intended to force the residents of al-Warraq island out of their homes. The eviction decision involved 720 homes, but the security forces were only able to demolish five homes before clashes broke out and the security forces withdrew from the island. The disputes between the police forces and island inhabi

As a response to a lack of formal solid waste management (SWM), CBOs and youth groups have become the main providers of waste collection in informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. This thesis is a qualitative case study of community-based waste management (CBWM) in the informal settlements of Mathare, Nairobi. The material from interviews and participant observation is analysed through a lens of S

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has put the vulnerability of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant under the spotlight. Meanwhile, the remembrance and reflection of the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 has been ongoing in different media among which the HBO mini-series Chernobyl (2019) stands out and resonates transnationally. The existing analysis on Chernobyl mainly focuses on how the streaming series
