If so, how? Asserting David Harvey and Jamie Peck’s theories, and the concepts neoliberalism, neoliberalization, and risk downloading, the text argues that the central state has, si

It is becoming clear that the cognition of a species plays an important role in successful conservation, with cultural processes being a fundamental part of this. However, in contrast to mammals and birds, very little is known about cultural processes (and the social learning that underlies these) in reptiles. Here, we summarize the current state of knowledge, consider why this information is so l

This paper presents a sketch of a theoretical perspective to aid in the sociological understanding of the phenomenon of “vibrant physicality”. “Vibrant physicality” is an enjoyable, embodied feeling which often results from and motivates participation in fitness practice. Yet, despite its importance, it has been neglected in existing theoretical and empirical literature. To address this gap, a the

This essay deals with multiple inhabitants extra care housing staff’s education and competence and the various laws that affect the individual who has a functional disorder and who also belong to the LSS person circle.

This thesis has two aims. One is to situate COVID-19 in a macro narrative that characterizes our time as a risk society or reflexive modernization. The other is to bring public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 pandemic into the sharp focus of cultural trauma study which is closely related to media representations. The research scope is set in media and communication studies. Through the the

Den svenska transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av landets totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och släppte 2019 ut 16,4 Mt CO2-ekvivalenter. Av dessa står den tunga vägtrafiken för cirka 20 % och är efter passagerarfordonen den största källan till utsläpp av växthusgaser inom sektorn. I och med FN:s klimatpanels återkommande rapporter om klimatförändringen och den Europeiska Unionens nya kliThe Swedish transport sector accounts for roughly a third of the country’s total emissions of greenhouse gases, emitting 16.4 Mt CO2-equivalents in 2019. Of these emissions, the heavy road traffic accounts for 20 % and is the sectors largest source of greenhouse gas emissions after the passenger vehicle fleet. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recurring reports on the climat

There exists considerable debate on the utility of ILO’s decent work agenda and its four pillars of full employment, rights at work, social dialogue, and social protection in the context of emerging economies. Whether these pillars be achieved in unison or if there a need to prioritize a pillar over another and whether the notion as a whole is complementary with other development objectives like e

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is a serious social problem and teenagers are particularly exposed. A study by Axell (2018, s. 11) showed that one in five adolescents has been exposed to some criminal act by their partner, often taking place in school (Korkmaz 2021 s. 79). Teachers play asignificant role in students' lives, and have the opportunity to notice if a student is being exposed to IP

Forskning har visat att psykoterapi effektivt minskar interpersonella problem, men få studier har använt interpersonella problem som utfallsmått i en naturalistisk psykoterapikontext. Ett flertal studier har även undersökt om klienters svårighetsgrad av interpersonella problem kan predicera behandlingsutfall, men resultaten går isär. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att studera korrelationen melResearch has shown that psychotherapy is efficient in reducing interpersonal problems, but few studies have used interpersonal problems as a measure of outcome in a naturalistic psychotherapeutic setting. A couple of studies have examined if the level of interpersonal problems can predict psychotherapy outcome, but the results differ. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation betwee

The present paper discusses the process of young immigrant integration from the point of view of policymakers.

Segregation är ett vanligt fenomen som uppstår över hela världen. De negativa konsekvenserna av boendesegregation har visat sig vara många för de som bor i mindre välbärgade stadsdelar. Bland konsekvenserna finns bland annat hälsorelaterade motgångar, men även sämre förutsättningar under skolgången och i det framtida arbetslivet har konstaterats. Sydafrika lämpar sig väl för att studera segregatioSegregation is a common phenomenon arising worldwide. Residential segregation has been shown to have several negative consequences for people living in less wealthy neighbourhoods, such as health-related setbacks and being less likely to cope with school. South Africa is an especially well-suited country to study segregation and methods to counteract it to achieve better integration and more harmo

The aim of this essay is to examine the Swedish air raid shelters and risk perception during the 1960’s and 1990's, how the two are related to one another, and which kind of risks have been considered most dangerous. The theoretical framework that is used to analyse the empirical framework is the risk city by Yosef Jabareen, which seeks to explain how cities cope with risk. A content analysis
