Abstract in French En 2018, le peuple irlandais a voté l’abrogation du huitième amendement de la Constitution irlandaise interdisant l’avortement dans le pays depuis 1983. L’Irlande vivait alors un moment décisifde son histoire, qui n’était pas sans lien avec de plus vastes débats, aujourd’hui en cours dans lemonde entier, portant sur le genre, le droit à la procréation, l’avenir de la religion, lIn 2018, the Irish public voted to repeal the Eighth Amendment to the Irish Constitution, which since 1983 banned abortion in the country. While this was a watershed moment in Irish history, it was not unconnected to wider discussions now taking place around the world concerning gender, reproductive rights, the future of religion, Church–State relationships, democracy and social movements. With th

BACKGROUND: Patient perspectives have received increasing importance within health systems over the past four decades. Measures of patient experience and satisfaction are commonly used. However, these measures do not capture all the information that is available through engaging with patients. An improved understanding of the various types of patient perspectives and the distinctions between them

The focus of this paper is an interdisciplinary approach towards the consumption of novel seaweed foods. Combining social science, food science, and a chemical and biotechnological perspective, we ask the following questions: How do we gain knowledge about the consumer's approach to new marine products on the market? What kinds of methods are suitable and possible to use? In what way can we combin

The Great Recession hit Spain deteriorating the living conditions of many Spanish people, increasing the prevalence of several chronic health issues, including obesity, and affecting health inequalities. We analyse the impact of this economic crisis on body mass index (BMI) disparities in Spain, from two perspectives: the socioeconomic and the territorial, through the application of an intersectio

What happens to researchers when the topic they study poses an existential threat to the world as we know it? When communication on the topic is politically polarized, but at the same time institutionally encouraged and existentially needed? By what means do researchers come to navigate this complex communication environment? The climate crisis and changing social, political, and academic conditio

There was a widespread euphoria in the 1990s that introducing Western-style legal institutions and traditions would play a pivotal role in promoting the rule of law and democratization in post-Soviet societies. Like other post-Soviet states, Uzbekistan has become a ‘laboratory’ for testing various global (Western) good governance and rule of law initiatives. As a result of these interventions, Uzb

This PhD thesis deals with anthropomorphic images from the Vendel and Viking Ages, their contexts and functions. The images are seen as means of communication with “effective power” or agency ("Wirkmächtigkeit"). They could have had a relationship of interaction or partial identity with what was represented, due to the fact that the Vendel and Viking Age societies were largely based on oral tradit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreställningen om att det fanns ett vänsterliberalt åsiktsmonopol som måste brytas var central när kristdemokraten Helmut Kohl som nybliven förbundskansler 1982 utlovade en ”intellektuell och moralisk vändpunkt”. Den tyska nationalkänslan skulle ”normaliseras”. Det negativa förflutna skulle neutraliseras. I avhandlingen skildras hur detta pund förvaltades under 1990-taThe subject of this study is the re-construction of German national identity and nationalist thinking within the framework of the 1990s’ history discourse in relation to the Nazi past and the Holocaust. The empirical focus is on national politics and the press. Maurice Halbwachs’ social constructionist theory on collective memory and Jan Assmann’s thesis on the defining power of elites in the cult

Popular Abstract in Swedish Populära tidskrifter och flertalet debattörer har alltsedan 80-talet hävdat att privatisering leder automatiskt till en förbättring av företagets effektivitet. På grund av dessa diskussioner har man litat mycket på marknadskrafter, då man trott att dessa krafter kan ombilda organisationer med goda effekter. Avhandlingen är en kritik mot dessa ansatser. Författaren försöThe majority of research on privatisation has been driven by, inter alia, economics. Some economists have argued that private ownership introduces capital market pressures into inefficient state bureaucracies. Private property rights are expected to maximise the incentives for management to achieve a high level of production efficiency. The argument put forward in this research is that in so far a

This article discusses why films have not been used more than they have as historical sources and argues that films ought to be used more by historians. Principally, historians can use film in three basic ways, all of which give access to information about the period when it was produced. First, films can with caution be used for information about the persons, objects and events depicted in docum

This article aims to contribute to the understanding concerning the introduction of crisis psychotherapy in the 1970s in psychiatric clinics in Sweden. The article discusses how this psychotherapy became central in the work of the clinics in supporting patients to well-being and inner growth. The ambition was that patients in an acute crisis-situation would be offered care immediately, aiming at a

This article explores differences among EU and non-EU migrants in accommodating to the Danish flexicurity labour and welfare regime during times of economic crisis. We build our findings on a quantitative survey followed by semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with EU and non-EU migrants who moved to Denmark during the recession period (2008–2013). We argue that the lack of multicultur

There has been widespread recognition in the Global South of the role of participatory governance approaches to urban development in responding to citizens’ immediate concerns. However, critiques note that participatory initiatives are often avenues for the political and economic elite to ensure their interests and profits, rather than improving the livelihoods in non- serviced urban peripheries.

The aim of this study was to explore care managers view on loneliness among elderly and to examine what interventions they proposed. Ten qualitative interviews were conducted with care managers from nine municipalities in the region of Skåne. The empirical material that has been collected was analyzed through Håkan Jönsons (2010) perspective analysis and Roine Johanssons (2007) theory of street-le

With disability continuing to be the single most barrier to education, efforts towards inclusive education have been globally acknowledged and legally ensured. Despite its widely shared call for justice and the fulfillment of the human right of education for all, the understanding of its process is diverse and interactions amongst system remains limited. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory and

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to gain a better understanding of the interplay between sustainability and corporate branding internally in organisations. By studying how internal communication contributes to the employees’ perception of these concepts, we aspire for this research to result in a greater comprehension of the role of internal communication in relation to sustainability and co

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

Genom reformen en modernare rättegång gjordes möjligheten för parter att närvara vid domstolssammanträden via ljud- och/eller bildöverföring permanent. Användningen av sådana lösningar har ökat under de senaste åren och accelererades av covid-19-pandemin. I experimentell miljö har det återkommande observerats att vittnens och målsägandes utsagor uppfattas som mindre tillförlitliga om de presenterThrough the reform en modernare rättegång [a more modern trial] the possibility for parties to attend court hearings via video and/or audio was made permanent. The use of such solutions has increased over the last years and was accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic. In experimental settings it has repeatedly been observed that witnesses’ and complainants’ testimonies are perceived as less credibl

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
