Artikeln undersöker, med blicken fäst på mat och äckel, mötet mellan de överlevande som kom till Sverige från nazistiska koncentrationsläger 1945 och de lägerinstitutioner som tog emot dem. Syftet är att genom utsagor om mat undersöka lägerlivets vardagliga förhandlingar och maktrelationer. De sätt varpå ätande knutits till äckel åskådliggör den villkorade relationen mellan ”värd” och ”gäst” och fWith a focus on food and disgust, this article examines the meeting between survivors who came to Sweden from Nazi concentration camps in 1945 so called “repatriates”, and the camp institutions that received them. The purpose is to examine the everyday negotiations and power relations of camp life through statements about food. The ways in which eating is linked to disgust illustrate the unequal a

Ecosystem-based protection is becoming a viable adaptation option to conventional engineered solutions to rising sea levels and coastal erosion. While the environmental and biological ecosystem services provided by ecosystem-based adaptation measures such as beach nourishment and/or seagrass plantations are being acknowledged and analysed, less attention has been paid to the social or cultural dim

This paper is based on work from the Global Research, Innovation, and Education on Assistive Technology (GREAT) Summit that was coordinated by WHO’s Global Cooperation on Assistive Technology (GATE). The purpose of this paper is to describe the needs and opportunities embedded in the assistive product lifecycle as well as issues relating to the various stages of assistive product mobilization worl

Investments in Enterprise Systems (ES) represent a significant part of many organisations’ investments. Time and budget overruns have been more a rule than an exception in ES implementations. One critical success factor for improving ES implementation is Enterprise Systems Implementation Methodologies (ESIMs). There is a lack of research on the use of ESIMs; however, the scant research does show c

A new influenza virus that was first detected in people in April 2009, was initially referred to colloquially as "swine flu", since it contained genes from swine, avian and human influenza viruses. It can, however, not be transmitted by eating pork or dealing with pigs. In Egypt, several hundred thousand pigs were killed in May, in spite of advice from global health authorities that such an action

Abstract Background. The impact of cancer on spouses of cancer patients may be considerable in many aspects. Our objective was to evaluate sick leave in spouses of cancer patients before and after the diagnosis. Material and methods. Using Swedish population-based registries, we studied sick leave of spouses to patients with newly diagnosed colon, rectal, lung, prostate, or breast cancer. We ident

This is a study of poetry reading in groups at nursing homes and hospices, offering opportunities for conversation. The purpose of the investigation is to understand whether and how poetry reading can help patients cope with their situation in life. The first part of the study is based on three projects, including a large number of documented poetry reading groups as well as interviews with patien

Popular Abstract in Swedish Schizofreni är en kronisk och handikappande sjukdom som karakteriseras av allvarliga men fluktuerande symtom, med återkommande akuta episoder. Sjukdomen är förknippad med reducerad kognitiv och social funktionsförmåga. Patienterna vilka i regel insjuknar i unga år, bibehåller vanligtvis kvarstående restsymtom och därmed associerade stigma fram till ålderdomen. Det överObjective: To explore the long-term course and to study factors of potential relevance for the treatment and rehabilitation process of patients with schizophrenia and schizophrenia-like disorders. Specific issues concerned cognitive reduction, tardive dyskinesia (TD), prolactin-induced side effects, remission and lack of insight. Method: A naturalistic multicenter study of 225 patients, diagnosed

More than 50 years ago, Fish postulated that a special form of early abnormal neurodevelopment, "pandysmaturation", defined a priori as constituting retarded cranial development in the first year of life, combined with delay in early motor milestone attainment, was related to genetic risk for schizophrenia, and was associated with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders in young adulthood. Fish confirmed

What is Church archaeology today, and what would we like it to be tomorrow? The occasion of the 90-year birthday of professor emeritus Erik Cinthio has afforded me the opportunity to reflect upon these two questions. Departure is taken in the 19th century, when medieval churches first became a topic of interest for researchers and architects. Church archaeology developed as a sub-discipline of art

Den svenska lagstiftaren har fastslagit att handeln med människor för sexuellt ändamål är en cynisk och lukrativ verksamhet där sårbara barn och kvinnor från fattiga länder utnyttjas hänsynslöst. Genom människohandel berövas individen möjligheten att åtnjuta de mest grundläggande mänskliga rättigheterna till frihet och liv. Offret för människohandel omvandlas under förövarens fullständiga kontrollThe Swedish legislature has decided that sex trafficking is a cynical and lucrative enterprise where vulnerable women and children from poorer countries are ruthlessly exploited. Sex trafficking strips the individual of the chance to enjoy even the most fundamental rights, such as freedom and the right to life. While under the influence of the perpetrator, the victims of sex trafficking are transf

Max-lab is a national laboratory operated jointly by the Swedish Research Council and Lund University. Nowadays, the Max project consist of three facilities (three storage rings): MAX I, MAX II, MAX III and one electron pre-accelerator called Max Injector. A new storage ring is needed due to improved nanotechnology. MAX IV is planned to be the next generation Swedish synchrotron radiation facilit

The textile and garment industry is one of Cambodia’s economic ‘growth pillars’ and it plays a key role in the country’s economic development. Foreign enterprises contract Cambodian factories to manufacture goods, which will then be sold worldwide. International buyers include H&M, GAP, Marks & Spencer, Levi’s, Adidas and Inditex. The demands required to suppliers are challenging and there

The project explores the application of urban farming in a high-density urban area while considering local characteristics. The site is located on Xiamen Island, China. China has a long history with agriculture since ancient times. However, with the economic growth and urban sprawl from the 1970s, the farming lands are gradually taken by the modern urban blocks. The urban planning did not consid

This thesis explores the emerging strategy of nation sub-branding and critically argues for the domestic implications it has on national identities and the falsely promoted tradition of social justice. The study situates itself within the critical cultural stream of nation branding research, rejecting, however, prior scholarly presumption that a segmented nation brand could mean less marginalizati

As a country with a high proportion of population and land area in the world, China is in a stage of changing its economic development direction, from the previous extensive economic growth to the intensive economic growth. At the same time, due to the limited total amount of resources and limited environmental bearing capacity on the earth, certain constraints are found in terms of amount and str

Risk communication is an interactive process which aims to reduce public concerns about health- and environmental risks through gaining trust and confidence. PFASs (Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) is more addressed today amongst Swedish municipalities because there are concern for surface- and groundwater pollution and concern about long-term health risks. This study aims to invest
