This article describes an innovative transnational education project involving three European universities, funded through ERASMUS+. One of its aims was to develop and provide a curriculum to facilitate students’ understanding and identification of occupational (in)justice by exposing them to marginalised people living in three European communities with differing cultural, social, and political sy

Irans nye president har starka kopplingar till landets högste ledare Ali Khamenei, och Iran kommer att fortsätta på den inslagna vägen av diktatur och förtryck, hävdar debattörerna Arvin och Ardavan Khoshnood i en analys av den nye presidenten och Irans framtid under honom.Iran’s new president has strong ties to the country’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei, and Iran will continue on the path of dictatorship and oppression, argue debaters Arvin and Ardavan Khoshnood in an analysis of the new president and Iran’s future under him.

Objective: The objective is to analyze Danish consumers' attitudes to buying food with reduced salt content. Design: The study is based on a comprehensive store intervention that included 114 stores belonging to the same supermarket chain. Three different salt claims were tested for eight weeks on six test products within the categories bread, cornflakes and frozen pizzas. Scanner data were supple

Blog entry based on QAnon and 9/11 truthers on how the anthropological understanding of religious belief can be applied to conspiracy believers.

Chapter in a Festschrift to anthropologist Chris Hann. Focuses on his work in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, especially the notions of how people 'accommodate' the regimes, concepts of civil society, resilience and surveillance as a unifying concept for Hann's work on Eurasia.

Danish media have published sympathetic portraits of asylum seekers seeking special dispensation from the Danish immigration laws, typically the brilliant Syrian gymnasium student facing deportation because theri temporary permiet has expired. The immigration minister has said that 'No one will get asylum just because you have been on TV'. This article proposes a set of satirical dispensation parg

Using examples from fieldwork among armed groups in Congo and pre-1989 Romania, this article argues against the prevailing ethos of ethnographers engagement with the people they study, in favor of a dynamic between engagement and detachment, what we call 'emotional management'. Two examples from our fieldwork are given, Hedlund on fieldwork with armed groups, Sampson on his informants being haraas

This paper describes some common features of so-called 'Critical' study areas such as Critical Trafficking Studies or Critical Development Studies, and then, based on analysis of the anti-corruption industry, tries to establish what a Critical Corruption Studies would be like compared to conventional studies.

Both inflammatory proteins and microRNAs (miRNA) have been reported to be associated with various psychiatric disorders. However, the association between inflammatory proteins and miRNAs remains largely unknown, especially for patients with depression, anxiety, or stress- and adjustment disorders. In this study, we analyzed plasma levels of 92 inflammatory proteins from 178 patients with depressio

The statistical relation between ocean wave geometry and water particle movements can be formulated in the stochastic Gauss-Lagrange model. In this paper we use Slepian models to get detailed information of the sea surface elevation in the neighbourhood of local maxima in a Gaussian wave model and of the movements of the top particle of the waves. We present full conditional distributions of the GThe statistical relation between ocean wave geometry and water particle movements can be formulated in the stochastic Gauss-Lagrange model.

This study assessed whether methods for capturing the pedestrian experience of outdoor lighting, previously evaluated in a full‐scale laboratory, were applicable in a real‐world setting. It applied an approach capturing the human response to outdoor lighting in a systematic way, by assessing perception, evaluation and behaviour in the lit environment. The study involved 81 participants from two ag

This paper is an attempt to advance research on walking at a neighborhood level of analysis for people with disabilities by proposing a theoretical model that combines the knowledge of two disciplines: traffic planning and environmental psychology. The aim is to provide guidance for a discussion and a plan for future interdisciplinary investigations by proposing a model that accounts for the dynam

The sustainable management of the ocean as a global food source has been prominent in recent debates due to the disproportionate rate of human consumption, depletion of fish stocks and shortcomings in conservation efforts. Criticisms from various sectors on the effectiveness of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMO) in relation to their mandates have prompted performance reviews (PRs)

Evidence associates cardiovascular risk factors with unfavorable systemic and neuro-inflammation and cognitive decline in the elderly. Cardiovascular therapeutics (e.g., statins and anti-hypertensives) possess immune-modulatory functions in parallel to their cholesterol- or blood pressure (BP)-lowering properties. How their ability to modify immune responses affects cognitive function is unknown.

Alltsedan Kockums huvudkontor sträckte sig över varvets kranar har skyskraporna i Malmö genererat intensiva debatter om vad staden är och, inte minst, vad den borde vara. Skyskrapsprojekt har om och om igen varit del av hur stadens identitet vuxit fram: Sydsvenskanhuset, Kronprinsen, Triangeln och senare Turning Torso och Malmö Live är några exempel.I Malmhattanism undersöker arkitekturforskaren F

Infectious diseases are an existential health threat, potentiated by emerging and re-emerging viruses and increasing bacterial antibiotic resistance. Targeted treatment of infectious diseases re-quires precision diagnostics, especially in cases where broad-range therapeutics such as antibiotics fail. There is thus an increasing need for new approaches to develop sensitive and specific in vitro dia
