I detta kapitel analyserar jag redovisande förklaringar av aktörernas agerande och observerade sekvenser där övervakning och social kontroll på institutionen återges och synliggörs av ungdomar med en annan etnisk bakgrund än den svenska. En utgångspunkt i analysen är Thomas Hylland Eriksens (1993/2000) syn på etnicitet som en pågående relationsprocess mellan aktörer. När etnifierad övervakning ocIn an evaluation of a juvenile-care project sponsored by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, ethnicity was identified as an important factor in treatment, staff practices, and relationships between juveniles. This study examined ethnic monitoring and social control in 15 Swedish juvenile institutions. I analysed notes from interviews and field observations. Discriminatory behaviours

Desert vernacular architecture is a product of a sustainable building cycle. Desert local inhabitants inherited the traditional way of building from their ancestors developed and then transferred knowledge from one generation to another. This building and cultural cycle is about to disappear in many desert vernacular settlements of the world. Global ambitions and socio-economic developments are so

This article sketches a transdisciplinary theoretical framework for understanding the so-called Anthropocene in terms of global inequalities. The concept of the Anthropocene has several profound implications that challenge central aspects of the modern worldview. Its relation to issues of global justice requires a cataclysmic reconceptualization of conventional notions of development, economic gro

The concept of an innovation system is used to understand how innovation contributes to economic growth. However, innovation systems do not evolve evenly in different parts of the world. This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the emergence of innovation systems in the context of developing countries. It uses the Rwandan case, where agriculture is a dominant socio-economic sector with high

Past research on the social determinants of colorectal cancer (CRC) has shown that lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher risk of CRC. Similar to SES at the individual level, the neighbourhood social environment may partly affect the development of CRC. Although one important aspect of the neighbourhood social environment is social capital, no large-scale follow-up study has

It is well known that green urban commons enhance mental and physical well-being and improve local biodiversity. We aim to investigate how these outcomes are related in an urban system and which variables are associated with better outcomes. We model the outcomes of an urban common—box gardening—by applying the Social-Ecological Systems (SES) framework. We expand the SES framework by analyzing it

Indonesia has a history of hundreds of years revolving around the racism against its 3% Chinese ethnic minority—who are also known as Tionghoa. This circumstance engenders the racial-social order that has been shaping the attitudes and behaviours of the Chinese, both individually and collectively, in social, cultural, and political realms. The Chinese have become self-controlled and self-regulated

Popular Abstract in Swedish Studier av arbetsförhållande inom sjukvården har under lång tid varit förknippade med stress och sjukfrånvaro. Ett sådant problemorienterat perspektiv hänger samman med hälsa definierat som avsaknad av sjukdom (patogenes). Hälsa kan dock definieras på många olika sätt och motsatsen till patogenes är salutogenes. Ett salutogent perspektiv innebär en mer positiv syn på häThe aim was to explore and make sense of a salutogenic relationship between workplace, work and health, through an employee perspective in a Swedish nursing context. The aim was also to make sense of the role of a workplace health promotion (WHP) process, in a salutogenic public health perspective, and develop useful instruments for this kind of health-related development work. The research proces

The foster care system in Antananarivo, Madagascar is currently transforming, as it reformulates the traditional Malagasy system; ‘Taiza’ into a structural social service. The system faces significant challenges, particularly in gaining public recognition and acceptance. I have explored how social workers in Antananarivo navigate the complexities of child placement decisions in a context where pov

Sammanfattning Principen om non-refoulement är en del av den internationella sedvanerätten och innebär att ingen stat får utvisa eller avvisa en person till ett land där dennes liv eller frihet kan hotas på grund av ras, religion, nationalitet, tillhörighet till viss samhällsgrupp eller politisk åskådning. I mål rörande asyl är det den sökande som har bevisbördan för att göra sitt behov av intern

Social media has become the most popular communication channel. Large amounts of information flows are being exchanged between users. The information shared on social media is seen as more reliable than the information found on traditional media. Companies have already incorporated social media as one of their communication channels. However, the evolution of social media has occurred in such a br

År 2015 samlades världens ledare och antog 17 globala hållbarhetsmål för att bidra till en social, ekonomisk och miljömässigt hållbar utveckling. De 17 globala hållbarhetsmålen utgör Agenda 2030 och ansvaret för genomförandet av agendan vilar på medlemsländernas regeringar. För att uppnå agendan måste alla sektorer engagera sig. Det innebär att kommunal räddningstjänst som är en del av den kommunaThe importance of sustainability is constantly increasing in today’s society and 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs), summarized as the “2030 Agenda”. To achieve the 2030 Agenda all sectors must become involved which means that the Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) must contribute to this sustainability work. It is therefore important to map how the Swedish

The aim of this master thesis is to analyze how conventions emerge and spread through fashion exhibitions and their narratives. This is a relevant topic both for museology and fashion studies considering the popularity of fashion exhibitions and their presence in different kinds of museums. Two different exhibitions are examined, “Kläder & Couture” at Textilmuseet in Borås, and “Nordens Paris”

The increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex business landscape in which contemporary global corporations operate presents challenges to management and specifically for leaders of dispersed virtual teams. To cope with unreliable external circumstances, modern multinationals operate under imperatives to develop new forms of transnational capabilities, by mobilizing knowledge resources across g

Problem definition: When investing in bonds there are some fundamental things the investor needs to be aware of, such as how the bond is being priced, how the structure of the company's capital structure is affecting the risk of holding the bond and the dynamics that could change the price of the bond over time. When a company tries to get more finance through credit capital markets, the capit

The Swedish welfare system has been subject to extensive research, because of its unique alloy of capitalist and socialist ideas and principles. The Social Democratic formulation of the idea of the people’s home has been an integral part of the Swedish political discourse for the better part of a century. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, the hegemony of the social democratic ideology came into questi
