Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur utvecklingen av egendomsskyddet och regleringen av skogsbruket i Sverige kan förstås som ett uttryck för ökad rättslig komplexitet. Utgångspunkten är Niklas Luhmanns systemteori och Gunther Teubners vidareutveckling av densamma. Enligt dem ska rättssyste-met inte främst förstås som en samling regler eller uttryck för politiska värde-ringar, utan som ett socialt sys

This study aimed to examine the factors that contribute to men who use violence against their female partners seeking support from social services for the first time and initiating behavioral change. The study was based on a qualitative approach and consisted of semi-structured interviews with seven social workers in Sweden who work with men using violence in intimate relationships. The empirical

In the context of global urbanization, people often associate informal settlements with poor living conditions, limited infrastructure, and insecure housing. However, China’s Small Property Rights Housing (SPRH) challenges this conventional image of informal status. Residents do not primarily struggle with material poverty. Instead, lacking legally recognized property rights, they experience tenur

Despite advances in family business research, the field would benefit from greater methodological rigor. However, rigor does not mean convergence of methodologies. In this article, the authors adopt a novel approach, based on narrative analysis, to address the succession process in a family business. This interpretive perspective is appropriate for family business studies, which address multifacet

The potential of unmanned systems is vast, but pre-procurement evaluation is challenging. This study explores potential uses of and interaction with unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) for dismounted infantry. A remote user study with Swedish Armed Forces personnel is described. Many factors influencing future use and interaction were found. Moreover, this study shows the potential of the innovative m

Ethnographic insights into people’s working lives can help us envision social policy to build dignified workspaces. This article explores the interlinkages between work and social protection, by drawing attention to two dimensions of pheriwale’s everyday working lives: first, how they relate to their work, and second, how they are situated within the Indian welfare context. Pheriwale are a group o

The study aims to explore how female weightlifters discuss and question the discourse ”muscles are for men” and other assumptions about body and gender norms in strength training. The study focuses on how the accounts, through commentary and appearance, put themselves against traditional gender norms and how strength training operates as a norm-breaking practice. Further, the essay analyzes the wi

BackgroundSuicide is a leading cause of premature mortality worldwide, but the impact of system-level mental health resources remains unclear despite the central role of psychiatric inpatient care and declining bed capacity. Prior research has yielded inconsistent findings with limited control for confounding. We aimed to estimate the effect of psychiatric inpatient bed availability on suicide mor

BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) may, and often does, profoundly reshape daily life, altering physical abilities, social roles, and personal identities. While assistive technologies, including assistive robotics, are often framed as solutions to re-establish independence, their adoption is shaped by practical, emotional, and social considerations as well as functional qualities. Individuals wi

European Union challenges and crises of the past decade, including the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, refugees, ethno-nationalist/Brexit movements, COVID-19, and Russian invasion of Ukraine are part of a planetary organic crisis (POC) of economy, society, ecology, conflict, and polity. The recognition of the symbiotic relationships between these challenges is crucial for moving from symptoms to c

Interpreting the social complexity of the Roman house requires a careful evaluation of existing evidence. With this in mind, recent work in the field has proposed a variety of different approaches, focusing each time on a specific type of source (architecture and décor, ancient texts, material evidence from excavated houses), each in turn recursively deemed more adequate for the purpose or more fr

Syftet med denna sammanläggningsavhandling är att belysa de etiska, juridiska och politiska konsekvenserna av olika försök att hantera lidande hos djur orsakat av industriell djurproduktion. På basis av kvalitativa studier utförda i Danmark undersöker avhandlingen hur skötseln av lantbruksdjur förhandlas inom olika sociala domäner. För detta ändamål använder avhandlingen rättssociologiska och tvärThis compilation thesis aims to develop an understanding of the ethical, legal and political implications associated with different strategies to address the suffering of animals caused by industrialised agriculture. Based on qualitative analysis conducted in Denmark, the research explores how ethical commitment to the situation of farmed animals is negotiated across different domains. The thesis

Circular economy (CE) is still a nascent research field in the built environment, however, has gained traction in the last decade. Despite it being generally accepted that sustainability consists of three dimensions, namely, social, environmental, and economic, CE has been criticised for focusing on environmental and economic impact whilst neglecting the social aspect. Further, CE has been critici

Abstract in French:L’article part d’une énigme empirique : le cas d’une usine de petite taille dans une ville industrielle ukrainienne semble contredire tout ce qu’on savait sur le paternalisme industriel et les attitudes contestataires des ouvrier·e·s dans ce pays. Contrairement aux grandes entreprises de la même ville, cette usine jouit de la paix sociale sans avoir à la garantir avec le « salai

This study explores systems for recognizing and rewarding teaching excellence in higher education, where engagement in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is considered an important merit. Nearly a decade ago, Fanghanel et al. (2016) identified the underutilized potential of teaching recognition as an institutional tool. More recently, Graham (2025) has documented a transformation in u
