Previous research has shown that hiding one’s emotions, an emotion-regulation strategy known as expressive suppression (Gross, 1998a), leads to adverse social outcomes. The underlying mechanisms that explain this relationship are not yet fully understood. The present study developed and tested a structural equation model with two mediators (authenticity and feeling understood) and two moderators (
In this chapter, I develop an ethnographic understanding of khidma (Arabic for serving), exploring the effect serving Ahl al-Bayt (Family of Prophet Mohammed) has on devotees with a particular focus on materiality. More specifically, I will trace the process of khidma through art and show how art is utilized in religious service, which highlights the centrality of materiality in contemporary Shii
The subject of this thesis is what I call a literary friction in the dramatic. In my research project, my aim has been to deepen the understanding of this friction and to make it productive in transforming my own dramatic writing. This has resulted in two dramatic works, which are presented in the thesis. I distinguish two different qualities in my writing – the dramatic and the literary – that
This conceptual chapter investigates how knowledge moves across different “social fields” (Bourdieu, 2005b). We propose a certain social Gestalt new knowledge discussion creates the dialogically constructed antenarrative field. An antenarrative field is a social space for knowledge exchange where agents speculate on future scenarios’ potential for realization, and our notion of the antenarrative f
During the recent years, the question of whether an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem emerges organically or is man-made has been disputed. This paper explores the case of an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in a developing country. We argue that in the context of lagging industrial development and weak institutions, a lead actor needs to step in to aid the emergence of an Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. We argue tha
This chapter discusses implications for epigenetic responsibility that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the analysis of epigenetics gives rise to. AI technology has a capacity to see patterns in big data sets and can help improve accuracy in epigenetic based diagnostics, prognostics, and therapy. However, characteristics of AI systems such as their black-box character, and their
This paper draws on critical discourse analysis to examine how health and physical education (HPE) curricula from Sweden, Norway, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand may influence possibilities for the enactment of social justice in schools. The findings highlight the presence of social justice intentions across the five curricula as related to embodied movement experiences, social cohesion,
Corporations are often linked to environmental and social issues due to profit motives. To keep in check with those concerns, many establish sustainability committees, however, research gaps persist in understanding their internal processes and theoretical approaches. This study employs social learning theory to examine a management-level sustainability committee in an Indonesian company. Intervie
This research is a qualitative inquiry into mechanisms that facilitate the diffusion of information about living and working in Sweden among Polish immigrants and their transnational links between Polish immigrants in Sweden and Poles in Poland.

Social investment is a concept that often refers to interventions with at-risk target populations in order to “prepare” these individuals, rather than “repair” them once the risk factors has become problems. An increasing number of Swedish municipalities work with social investments, and the purpose of this research is to determine if certain characteristics of the municipalities affect this work.
The relationship between public spending on health and child mortality has been inconclusive in literature. Discussions about significant associations have largely depended on specific periods and countries studied. This essay focus on the effects of public spending on health on child mortality in the Mexican poorest states. Public spending on health for the population without social security was
