Mentometrar (”clickers”) är ett verktyg som kan användas för att göra snabba utvärderingar av studenters kunskap och förståelse under t.ex. en föreläsning (s.k. classroom assessment), och studier har visat att de förbättrar både lärande och uppmärksamhet (Keough 2012). Genom sådana formativa utvärderingar får både studenter och lärare omedelbar återkoppling som kan hjälpa till att identifiera områ

We describe and analyse decision-making in relation to older people with dementia in Sweden, within the area of social work regulated by the Social Services Act and the Parental Act.

Based on material accessed through the Swedish National Board for Crime Prevention and classified as Islamophobic hate crimes, the judicial treatment of cases that may involve racism is analysed.

The aim of the study was to analyze if parents were aware of the white norm in Swedish society and if it affected them in any way. Through semi structured interviews at a children's center in the south of Scania, we ascertained the parents' perception of the white norm through the experiences that they shared. We also interviewed a preschool pedagogical teacher to gain their perspective of
This research focuses on the contemporary case study of the Thawra Chronicles, founded by three London-based members of the Lebanese diaspora in the wake of the Lebanese Revolution in early October 2019 to support the social movement from afar, targeting non-Lebanese individuals as well as Lebanese within and beyond its borders. Thawra Chronicles is a multifaceted, independent alternative online o
In recent years, international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) in India have operated under intensifying regulatory constraints that have profoundly reshaped the civic terrain. Legal instruments such as the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) do not simply restrict INGOs’ activities; they recalibrate the conditions under which civil society can exist, act, and speak.

This paper reports on in-depth research, using a grounded theory approach, to examine the ways in which very old people perceive healthy ageing in the context of living alone at home within urban settings in five European countries. This qualitative study was part of a cross-national project entitled ENABLE-AGE which examined the relationship between home and healthy ageing. Interviews explored th
Easy and low-threshold access is considered to be a major advantage of online services. In Sweden, social services in several municipalities strive to increase their accessibility by responding to anonymous users online. This paper raises the question about the nature of accessibility that the online social services entail. Two online platforms were studied: synchronous online chats and asynchrono
The Swedish integration policies rely heavily on the establishment program, a measure taken as a consequence of the high unemployment rate among refugees after the “refugee crisis”. The establishment program aims to tackle the gap in access to the labour market between native-born and refugees through economic imperatives. Civil society organizations step in to provide programs that target refugee
Vangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. The fruit is mostly eaten fresh, and sometimes mixed with porridges, but in some parts
Popular Abstract in Swedish Distinktionen mellan offentligt och privat är en djupt rotad princip för organisering av samhället och dess olika sfärer, såväl inom stater som internationellt. Ett exempel på detta ser vi i utformningen av det internationella försvaret för mänskliga rättigheter som byggts upp sedan det andra världskrigets slut. Här syns distinktionen särskilt tydligt med avseende på atThe theory and practice of international relations are replete with dilemmas related to the distribution of responsibility for human rights protection. Institutionalized notions of public and private empower and shape knowledge of what the spheres of responsibility signify for different kinds of actors. This study examines how the public-private distinction is manifested in controversy concerning
