The Swedish democrats crossed the four percent threshold for parliament representation in Sweden for the first time in the election 2010. This controversial party has teared open a lot of emotion in the Swedish debates, mostly because of their anti-immigrant politics. The Swedish democrats politics all weigh heavily upon a clear distinction between the swedes and the non- swedes. The party appears

En semiotisk analys av cigarettens symbolik och produktplaceringen av denna i TV-serierna Sex and the City och Californication. Problemområdet och bakgrunden till denna studie ligger i att dagens media och populärkultur till stor del påverkar sina mottagares uppfattningar vilket innebär att trots direktiv och lagstiftning om förbud mot annonsering av cigaretten utgör produktplaceringen av denna en

Samhället har genomgått stora förändringar sedan regleringen kring rättsligt föräldraskap instiftades för första gången. Såväl ny medicinsk teknik som nya accepterade familjekonstellationer har bidragit till att den gamla regleringen har krävt en omarbetning. Vem som ska uppnå status som rättslig förälder och varför har därav ändrats. Från början var utgångspunkten för fastställandet av rättsligt

In Sweden we are spared from large natural disasters. However, in January 2005 part of Sweden was struck by a hurricane. It did not only leave a decimated landscape in its wake. It also left its mark on many people who lived in the south of Sweden. In this paper the reader will be presented six qualitative interviews that build on forestowners' experiences during and in the aftermath of the St

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring magnets are integrated "magnet block" units consisting of several consecutive magnet elements precision-machined out of a common solid iron block. In the 3 GeV ring, there are 140 magnet blocks containing a total of 1320 magnet elements. During the manufacturing phase of the project, a field measurement was performed for each magnet element, by Hall probe and/or by ro

Many current and future synchrotron light sources employ harmonic cavities to lengthen the electron bunches in order to reduce the emittance dilution caused by intrabeam scattering. In some cases, the harmonic cavities may be tuned to fulfill the flat potential condition. For this condition, a large increase in the threshold currents of transverse coupled-bunch instabilities has been predicted and

Although the 2023 Budget set the stage to finance a renewable-energy transition, ensuring that energy can be used as a tool to deliver environmental and socioeconomic well-being across all brackets of society requires multilevelgovernance and diverse actor networks. Some levers that all stakeholders – including investors – can use to embed justice in the financial architecture of renewable-energy

Voices today from the eighties – constructing peaceful citizensThe increased interest for questions of survival, focused in the fear for a nuclear war, also became the start for university courses and of Action research both in public schools, in Teacher Education and in the Universities in Sweden. The article is arguing that there are roots back to the 1960s and a continuity within Peace Educatio

Comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) is seen as a key instrument through which to affect behaviour and improve sexual and reproductive health (SRH) outcomes amongst adolescents. However, few studies have to date evaluated key SRH outcomes following exposure to CSE within a school setting. This study estimates the association between CSE and HIV testing and HIV testing self-efficacy amongst HIV

This chapter explores the connections between the concepts of sustainable urban transformation and the green urban economy, proposes a framework for understanding how these concepts “fit” together, and makes some practical suggestions for local governments (and national and international policy).

As Syria’s anti-authoritarian uprising and subsequent civil war have left the country in ruins, the need for understanding the nation’s complex political and cultural realities remains urgent. The second of a two-volume series, Syria from Reform to Revolt: Culture, Society, and Religion draws together closely observed, critical and historicized analyses, giving vital insights into Syrian society t

This paper studies the interdependence between R&D resources and standardization performance in development-related standardization settings under strong network effects. Standardization performance is viewed as the firm’s involvement in the change process of standards as a result of the business processes of standardization. We utilize a sample from the 3GPP change request database to study f

This chapter focuses on contemporary urban food sharing beyond the everyday experiences of eating together with friends and family. Such food sharing is increasingly facilitated by smart, digital technologies (ICT for brevity) from Apps and platforms to websites and social media, that offer new ways to grow, cook, and eat together as well as exchange food with others. The chapter begins by mapping
