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

Fynd vid brottsplatser av vävnadsprov som kan användas för DNA-profilering har fått en ökande betydelse vid såväl utredning av brott som i efterföljande rättsliga processer. Genom en kombination av förfinad genetisk teknologi och förbättrade möjligheter att via datoriserade register jämföra DNA-fynd från brottsplatser med tidigare insamlade DNA-profiler från kända eller misstänkta brottslingar kanThe securing at crime scenes of tissue samples that can be used for DNA-profiling is gaining increasing importance in criminal investigations, as well as in lawsuits. Thanks to the combination of refined genetic technologies and markedly improved means to compare DNA profiles detected at crime scenes with those stored in various forensic registries through computerized database searches, both Swed

Vidare var studiens frågeställningar hur socialarbetare definierade våld i nära relationer, hur socialarbetare beskrev mäns respektive kvinnors upplevelse av att vara våldsutsatt i en nära relation samt

The study examined how international students perceive social integration. The University of Houston, Texas was used as a case study. The study was based on a symbolic interactionism. Goffman’s theoretical concepts of “othering,” spoiled identities, stigma, labelling and impression management in a pluralistic/multicultural society are explored, as well as Putnam’s concepts of social capital sharin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föräldrars involvering i skolan har under de senaste decennierna betonats allt mer i skoldebatten. Länge betraktades skolutbildning som enbart ett samhälleligt ansvar, vilket ofta medförde ett markerat avståndstagande från familjen och föräldrarna. Likt andra samhälleliga servicefunktioner har emellertid också skolan i sitt förhållande till sina användare undergått en fOver the last two decades, educational reforms have stimulated an enormous growth in innovative school thinking, effecting both independent schools and mainstream education. Parents and interest groups, previously excluded from general pedagogic practice and planning, are now faced with new opportunities and responsibilities. Parents “invest” in these newly won options in very different ways. Fail

Today, all it takes to engage in a social cause is a click of a button. The use of social media has a

This Article critically evaluates the recent trends in Italian industrial relations in order to highlight the clash between Italian constitutional principles and the autonomous development of self-regulation as for the relationship between representation, conflict and collective agreement. By conducting a comparative analysis with the Swedish model, the article argues that the constitutional princ

The sharing economy (peer-to-peer based sharing or renting activities coordinated through community-based online services) is often said to be closely related to trust. This paper examines the association empirically. Using data collected from the two sharing economy companies Airbnb and Flipkey that exist in over 100 countries, we construct a measure of sharing economy penetration and examine its

Crisis communication is a field dominated by functionalist and objectivist perspectives even though there are exceptions. With a departure in an alternative epistemology – social construc-tionism – this paper provides a reflective approach to understand crisis communication as a contextual and cultural construction process. Focusing on the social construction of crisis brings a much-needed approac
