This study is an analysis of norm critical pedagogy has been used in a pedagogic activity outside the formal, institutionalized education. The aim was to analyze how the implementation of norm critical pedagogy can be done and what effects it may have on those who participate in the educational activities. For four months, I followed the project Uppdrag Ninjas who are working with democracy, equal
Mobbning som begrepp dök upp först på 1960-talet och uppmärksammades inte som ett samhällsproblem förrän på 1980-talet. Den definition av begreppet mobbning som kanske är det mest spridda, är definitionen som forskaren Dan Olweus använder: ” En person är mobbad när hon eller han, upprepade gånger och under en viss tid blir utsatt för negativa handlingar från en eller flera personer(…)handlingarna ‘Bullying’ as a term first appeared in Sweden in the 1960s, and was not considered being a social problem until the 1980s. The perhaps most widespread definition of the term bullying is defined by the Norwegian researcher Dan Olweus: "A person is bullied when he or she has, repeatedly and over time become a victim of negative actions from one or more persons (...) the action shall be made wit
This thesis offers a cultural analysis of climate change, modernisation and sustainable development in the pastoral landscape of Baringo, Northern Kenya. For the majority of the pastoralists living there, life is defined by crippling poverty, ethnic violence and an increasingly erratic and unpredictable climate. In response, a growing number of people have moved away from the traditional reliance
BackgroundSexual violence is widespread in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including in the North Kivu province. Moreover, in this region survivors of sexual violence often have limited access to care and encounter a variety of barriers when seeking care and support. The aim of this study was to explore community perceptions about access to care, barriers, enablers and pBackgroundSexual violence is widespread in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including in the North Kivu province.

This chapter is an exploration of the concept of periphery when applied to regions. Specifically, it unpacks what we mean when we talk about places, specifically regions, as “peripheral”. It does this from the perspective of a sub-discipline of human geography: regional economic geography. In this field, peripheral regions are becoming increasingly interesting to researchers due to their key roles
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
Att sluta begå brott handlar inte enbart om förändrade handlingar, utan också om hur individer omformulerar vem de är. Denna avhandling analyserar hur unga personer med erfarenhet av kriminalitet konstruerar och förhandlar sina identiteter i berättelser om brottsdebut, fortsatt brottslighet och upphörande med brott. Avhandlingen behandlar tre centrala frågor: (1) Vilka innehållsmässiga komponenterIn this thesis I explore how young people with a criminal record choose to construct and negotiate their identities in narratives about debut offences, re-offending, and desistance. I address three key questions: (1) What content-related components are central to young people’s narratives of desistance? (2) What linguistic and cultural resources do young people draw on to present themselves as cre
This paper presents a first prototype of ClimaSynth, a web-based interactive application that allows to creatively transform environmental sounds in response to climate change scenarios. ClimaSynth serves as an instrument for enhancing environmental perception through sonic interaction. The underlying algorithm uses real-time granular synthesis and web technologies to encode climatic effects in so
How is Turkish official memory negotiated locally in Izmir, a city celebrated as a symbol of national becoming, yet (im)famous for its scepticism of central power? How is the past of the city narrated, conceived as an epitome of progress, yet built on a systematic forgetting of trauma and violence? And how does the secularist legacy of Izmir, accentuated in contrast with the Islamisation of memory
HIV-1 non-coding exon 3 can either be spliced to exons 4, 4a, 4b, 4c, and 5 to generate tat, rev, and nef mRNAs or remain unspliced to produce the 13a7 vpr mRNA. Here we show that serine-and arginine-rich proteins 55 and 75 (SRp55 and SRp75) inhibit splicing from the 5'-splice site of exon 3 thereby causing an accumulation of the partially unspliced 13a7 vpr mRNA. In contrast, serine- and arginine
This chapter reassesses the modernization processes at work in Republican China during the Warlord period between 1911 and 1927 by focusing on corporate, public action by non-state interest groups and organizations. In particular, it looks at modes of corporate governing at the interface of business/economy and education: the realm of vocational education. The chapter examines a particularly illum
The pervasive use and insatiable demand for high-performance wireless devices globally are driving the development of new communication technologies and standards. In this chapter, we present advancements in the area of terminal antenna systems and describe how they play a major role in enabling strict performance requirements to be met in future systems. As opposed to conventional systems that do
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att få en uppfattning om hur framtida miljöförändringar kommer att påverkar vårt samhälle är det viktigt att studera eventuella samband mellan migration, samhälle och miljö. Klimatförändringar väntas inom en snar framtid leda till stora befolkningsförflyttningar till följd av exempelvis ökad stormfrekvens, torka, havsnivåhöjning och vattenbrist. Migration kan å andrThe link between population mobility and environmental change is fundamental for our understanding of how future global environmental changes will affect our societies, and also how the increased mobility will change our role in the Earth system. Climate change has been predicted as a major cause of human migration, both voluntary and forced, through for example increased storm and drought frequen
