Introducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions. Through key concepts in the sociology of emotions we relate professional court actors’ emotionmanagement to the emotional regime of the judiciary. Examples from the Swedish judiciary illustrate three main arguments:(a) The idea of rational justice as noIntroducing a sociological perspective on judicial emotions, we argue that previous studies underemphasize structural andinteractional dimensions.

Background: The potential of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, is being increasingly explored in healthcare settings. However, the same tools also introduce significant cybersecurity risks that could compromise patient safety, data integrity, and institutional trust. This study aimed to examine real-world security breaches involving genAI and extrapolate their pote

Observation is an important component of research to examine complex social settings and is well-established for studying courtroom dynamics and judicial behaviour. However, the many activities occurring at once and the multiple participants, lay and professional, make it impossible for a sole researcher to observe and understand everything occurring in the courtroom.

The construction sector is heavily polluting and an actual threat to the natural environment, therefore its transition towards becoming bio-based is imperative. This transition is currently unfolding and it is driven in particular by innovation activities taking place along the sector's value chain. In the upstream segment, bio-based materials are being improved, while novel building techniques in

The study compares national road safety culture (RSC) in three European countries—Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands—which are widely recognized as leaders in Safe System implementation and have maintained the world’s best road safety records for several years, with three African countries with poorer road safety records—Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia. The primary focus is on continental-level compariso

This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.

We examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective. Analysis of court observations, interviews and shadowing of judges and prosecutors at four Swedish district courts and prosecution offices shows that power and status operate differently for the respective professions, resulting in distiWe examine key characteristics of the work tasks of judges and prosecutors from a power and status perspective, discerning how emotions tie into this perspective.

Transformative neuropathology is redefining human brain research by integrating foundational descriptive pathology with advanced methodologies. These approaches, spanning multi-omics studies and machine learning applications, will drive discovery for the identification of biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and complex disease patterns through comprehensive analyses of postmortem human brain tissue.

The work of stage actors has long been used as a simile for every day role playing, generating theoretical concepts to describe how people work to pre-sent themselves in general and how they manage their emotions in particular. Building on this tradition, this article analyses professional stage actors’ deliberate emotion management as an embodied professionalisation process, focusing the relationThe work of stage actors has long been used as a simile for every day role playing, generating theoretical concepts to describe how people work to pre-sent themselves in general and how they manage their emotions in particular.

The dominant image of judicial authority is emotional detachment; however, judicial work involves emotion. This presents a challenge for researchers to investigate emotions where they are disavowed. Two projects, one in Australia and another in Sweden, use multiple sociological research methods to study judicial experience, expression, and management of emotion.

The role of emotions in qualitative research receives increasing attention.
