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

This book addresses an under-researched area within populism studies: the discourse of supporters of populist parties. Taking the 2019 European elections as their case study, the authors analyse how supporters in eleven different countries construct identities and voting motivations on social media.

During the past years, activist movements have increasingly turned to social media to raise awareness and critically discuss current development and future scenarios. As a contribution to the discussion of new social movements and activism in the digital age, this study aims to explore and critically discuss how environmental risks and crisis are visually communicated in activism campaigns on Inst

Vid Örebro universitet anordnades våren 2021 för andra gången konferensen Forskning om högre utbildning. Ett tema för konferensen var utveckling av högskolepedagogisk forskning. Högre utbildning publicerar nu tre texter på detta tema som en fördjupad diskussion. De kan läsas var för sig eller tillsammans. Den första utgörs av Sverre Wides inledningsanförande från konferensen. Efter inbjudan från r

Occupations divide the labor market into separate repositories of skill, where labor market frictions hinder employee mobility between occupations. Such frictions shape the supply of skill, the wage structure of each occupation, and the occupation-specific opportunity cost and marginal utility of self-employment entry. We investigate why self-employment entry is dependent on occupation, using 7 ye

In this presentation, I discuss critical friend sessions (see Handal 1999), performed during autumn 2014 and spring 2015, and focusing on lecturers educating the same group of teacher students. The aim was to investigate whether or not one could find traces of didactics in their teaching, since a didactic dimension is necessary when educating students at a teacher education program. The lecturers

There has been much recent interest in how to help students in higher education develop their generic skills, especially since this is a focus of the Bologna process that aims to standardize European higher education. However, even though the Master thesis is the final and often crucial part of a graduate degree and requires many generic skills very little research has directly focused on them.

Abstract in UndeterminedA more or less continuous process of structural change, not least due to a globalizing economy, poses a number of challenges to regions and local communities. However, when firms or whole industries are phasing out, windows of opportunity open up. Empirical analyses of two recent plant closures in Skane point at the importance of retaining existing knowledge bases, and at t

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. While early identification and treatment of major cardiovascular risk factors are crucial, recent data suggest the possibility of non-invasively detecting early stages of coronary atherosclerosis and potentially stabilizing or even reversing the burden of atherosclerosis with innovative and existing treatments. Moreover,
