Volunteerism has been part of the development field for a long time, but has evolved from knowledge spreading to knowledge development through formal international development volunteer programmes. The purpose of this study is to see how development professionals perceive volunteerism to align with or further the sending organisation’s aims. The data has been collected through semistructured inter

Det internationella immaterialrättsliga rättssystemet har etablerats på grundsatsen att immaterialrättigheter är territoriella och därmed begränsade sett till innehåll och omfång till respektive skyddsland.

The establishment of marine protected areas is a complementary management measure that is increasingly used to protect biodiversity and endangered species. Studies of the effects of protecting certain areas rarely take into account the consequences of non-compliance of rules and regulations, despite the fact that non-compliance of protected areas have been reported from all parts of the world.

I Sveriges grundskolor använder musiklärare en stor del av sin arbetstid till arbete som rör bedömning och betygsättning. Fem musiklärare har i denna studie intervjuats med syftet att ta reda på hur de konstruerar sina bedömnings- och betygsättningspraktiker genom att undersöka vilka omständigheter som inverkar på dessa. Studiens vetenskapsteoretiska förankring finns i socialkonstruktionismen; tea

We propose a consensus definition of "an exaggerated orthostatic pressor response" in subjects in whom systolic blood pressure increases ≥20 mmHg when going from the supine to standing posture. This definition can be extended for seated to standing measurements. We reserve the term "orthostatic hypertension" if this pressor response leads to an upright systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg. We believe

In this paper, I analyse developments in the relationship between popular musicians and their audiences that have intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020–21. The first, guilty geographies, concerns musicians and music venues becoming increasingly reliant on charitable audience support, appealing to fans’ ethical consciences through the crowdfunding (or fan-funding) model. The second, comp

As a recent literature has demonstrated, men and women differ in their willingness to sort into competitive environments. In particular, men are more willing than women to compete. We investigate whether it is possible to reduce the gender gap in willingness to compete through an information intervention that informs participants of the gap and advises them about the potential earnings implication
