This article elaborates on the embodiment of heritage via dressing practices in several rural and urban Nordic communities in the United States. Getting dressed is a shared human practice that we engage in and repeat most days, and for special occasions, traditional dress, or folk costume, comes into particular focus. I approach dressing in folk costume as a "situated embodied practice," a mode of
This chapter will follow in Reza Banakar’s footsteps by investigating legal pluralism in a globalized world. It takes the transnational legal pluralistic reality surrounding corporations as its point of departure and examines how two corporations accused of misconduct manoeuvre around the legal pluralistic terrain to their advantage, and at the same time attempt to define which laws should be appl
Patent Law is a legal field designed to promote technological innovation. Patent rights ensure exclusivity of rights to commercialize and explore innovation and in this sense are a fundamental mechanism to attract investment, ensure revenue streams and foster innovation. The relative relevance of patent rights depends on sectors of activity, business models and the nature of both the underlying in
Research on regional development has recently explored new domains, including agency. Evolutionary perspectives link new development paths to technological innovations and adaptation of economic structures to changing environments. In contrast, the agentic perspective attributes the formation of new development paths to the purposeful actions of human actors. A broad interpretation of the notion o
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
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 of
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
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
Barnets bästa är en rättighet i artikel 3.1 i barnkonventionen. Svensk rätt fast-slår barnets bästa i 6 kap. 2 a § FB. Bestämmelsen uppdaterades senast den 1 januari 2025. Gällande rätt visar att bestämmelsen uppdaterades för att framhålla att risken för att barnet utsätts för våld eller annan kränkande behandling alltid ska ha större betydelse än barnets behov av en god och nära relation till sin
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om kapitalvinster som uppkommit genom ett bedrägligt förfarande och som därmed grundats på en civilrättsligt ogiltig avyttring kan anses skattepliktiga enligt inkomstskattelagen. Bakgrunden är förvaltningsrättens avgörande i mål 13373–23. Domstolen menade på att kapitalvinstbeskattning skulle ske, trots att den skattskyldige blivit frånhänd sina tillgångar genom bedr
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) and arterial hypertension (AH) are strongly associated with obesity, with a linear relationship to increasing body mass index (BMI). However, some individuals with obesity do not exhibit signs of HF or AH.PurposeThis study aimed to compare, for the first time in a large population-based cohort, individuals with obesity who have normal left ventricular function and remo
For victims of corporate harm, accessing justice in the global landscape is fraught with challenges and limitations – but also contestation and conflict. This paper focuses on these issues by directing attention to the National Contact Points (NCPs), a nonjudicial grievance mechanism in this landscape. It explores the puzzle of why complainants, who portray the NCP as a mechanism that is unlikely
Ett förändrat klimat med mer intensiva regn och längre torrperioder har gjort sötvatten till en alltmer värdefull och sårbar resurs. Vattenbrist förekommer i dag i många delar av världen, även i områden där det tidigare inte varit ett problem, såsom i Sverige. Minskad vattenan-vändning kan bidra till att reducera efterfrågan, men endast upp till en viss gräns. För att säkerställa en långsiktig och
