This qualitative study explores the ways children of same-sex attracted (SSA) parents engage in everyday political resistance. Poststructuralism, Queer Theory, Intersectionality, and theoretical notions of resistance and politicization of identities are foundations of this work. Narrative methodology was used to analyze eight interviews with adult children of SSA parents along with relevant previo

Recording and analysing groundwater level data can reveal the nature and extension of groundwater processes like flow direction and recharge magnitude. The analyses can even indicate the influence of precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff on the subsurface processes. However, such analyses are only possible when the recorded data cover relatively large periods of time at a suitable frequency

Trots att miljö- och produktionsmål formellt varit jämställda i skogspolitiken under de senaste decennierna, är förlust av biologisk mångfald ett fortsatt problem. Inom skogspolitiken i Sverige och Finland har strategier för ökat skydd av biologisk mångfald framhållit frivillighet, som certifiering av skogsbruk och frivilliga avsättningar mot kompensation. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur resultatenDespite decades of claimed ambitions to increase environmental consideration in forest policy, biodiversity loss in boreal forests continues. As the pressure on forest biodiversity intensifies, due to land use competition, shifting societal demands, and climate change, it is crucial to address the shortfall of biodiversity policies in reaching their intended outcomes. Voluntary policy instruments

Sven Norberg has had a successful career in European development, which has been multi-faceted, active and very productive. This contribution, however, focuses on the equally impressive and parallel career, which Sven Norberg has pursued: his contributions to academic life and his activities in reforming Swedish legal education. These side activities could easily be regarded as merely incidental,

Italian novelist Italo Calvino ([1972] 1974: 102–103) described Leonia as a city where ‘every morning the people wake between fresh sheets, wash with just-unwrapped cakes of soap, wear brand-new clothing, take from the latest model refrigerator still unopened tins, listening to the last-minute jingles from the most up-to-date radio’. This opulent newness is dependent upon garbage trucks collecting

The Swiss foreign policy offers a deviant case. Most countries that were neutral during the Cold War have during the last decades become more cooperative, while Switzerland on the other hand still contains a rather stable foreign policy. Because traditional theories in International Politics offer no concrete explanation to this puzzle, I have been oriented towards decision-making theories in dome

Skogar täcker ca 31% av jordens landyta och lagrar stora mängder kol i biomassa och i marken. I klimatavtalet från Paris 2015 lyfts skogars roll som sänkor och reservoarer av kol fram och undertecknande länder uppmanas att implementera strategier för hållbart skogsbruk som ytterligare förstärker skogars roll som sänkor av växthusgaser. Ett aktivt skogsbruk påverkar klimat och miljö på många olika Forest ecosystems cover 31% of the terrestrial land area and store large amounts of carbon in biomass and in soils. The 2015 Paris Agreement recognizes the importance of sinks and reservoirs of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in forests and the importance of enhancing them through sustainable forest management policies. Managing forests for climate mitigation purposes is, however, complex since management

Human rights statements on intersex characteristics distinguish legitimate “medically necessary” interventions from illegitimate normalizing ones. Ironically, this binary classification seems partially grounded in knowledge of anatomy and medical interventions; the very expertise that human rights statements challenge.

The economics of biobanking are intertwined with its social and scientific aspects. In this article, we illustrate this interrelationship and describe two problems that structure the discussion about the economics of biobanking. First, there is a “sustainability problem” about how to maintain biobanks in the long term. Second, and representing a partial response to the first problem, there is a “c

Miljöpåverkan är ett ständigt återkommande ämne i samhällsdebatten. Många företag strävar efter att minimera sin miljöpåverkan, vilket kan ske genom att återanvända material i stället för att producera nya. I fallet med betongproduktion finns det flera sätt att göra den bättre för miljön. Till exempel kan rivningstegel användas som alternativ till den traditionella ballasten, som ett sätt att mins

In this study we investigated if stereotype conceptions against groups of people can be suppressed by retrieval practice and thereby affect implicit associations. Previous research of retrieval-induced forgetting has shown that interfering memories are inhibited and weakened by retrieval practice. Our hypothesis was that retrieval practice of features incongruent to a stereotype would cause memory

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries
