Recent research has revealed that interdisciplinary work combining archaeological and heritage practice continues to be limited by enduring assumptions separating the two fields. Traditional structures and institutional barriers make it difficult to break away from what is expected in order to explore what is possible in what archaeologists and heritage practitioners ‘do’. Though archaeologists pl

This open access book deals with the role of written texts in an increasingly diverse and dynamic society, bringing together a series of studies anchored in the Scandinavian research tradition of sakprosa, which roughly translates as ‘subject-oriented prose’ or ‘professional communication’. The authors examine the written text’s capacity to transcend contextual boundaries, as a crucial factor in t

Immigration status as a ground of making distinctions that might be in violation of the right to non-discrimination, is conceptually underdeveloped. This gap is addressed by explaining how the European Court of Human Rights has chosen to use arguments shaped by factual and legal/normative elements to reason under Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights. One such argument concerns the

Collaboration between public and private partners is often seen as an important tool and is used by public authorities to handle many different problems in society, including public transport. In both research and practice, it is common to find exhortations to increase collaboration and suggestions on how to improve it and make it successful. However, in this chapter, we adopt a critical approach

In this chapter, the authors summarize the current knowledge of possible trigger(s) of p-cell autoimmunity and factors affecting the progression to the clinical onset in individuals who have developed one or more p-cell autoantibodies. Testing islet autoantibodies at random or in select populations such as schoolchildren should inform about the epidemiology of autoimmune islet disease and what to

In Sweden, the pedagogical training of doctoral students varies significantly across universities. While most institutions include at least one mandatory course in higher education teaching and learning, some programs lack this requirement entirely. Whether doctoral students are encouraged or even allowed to take multiple pedagogical courses also varies greatly. This paper explores the benefits o

The aim of this study was to describe the extent to which men in psychiatric care have experienced emotional, physical, and sexual abuse during the life course and the association between this experience and being a perpetrator oneself. The aim was also to identify who exposed them to abuse and whether there was an association between the category of abuser and being a perpetrator oneself. A cross

To plan for a sustainable transportation network, we need to understand the values connected to existing structures. In the history of car dependency and petroculture, the promise of speed is everywhere. Through a frame analysis focusing on contestation, this paper examines values connected to fossil fuel infrastructure. Specifically, the paper interrogates the plans to construct a highway on the
