Neighbourhood peer effects (social influence) in the diffusion of residential solar photovoltaics (PV) have previously been identified and quantified in a number of studies. Yet, little has been known about the inner workings of peer effects in PV diffusion. In the present work, a survey and interviews were used to study peer effects among Swedish PV adopters. Participants acknowledged peer effect
World electricity consumption is drastically increasing. One of the most common ways of producing electricity is to use the chemical energy of fossil fuels. This can be done in thermal power plants in which the chemical energy of fossil fuels such as natural gas is converted to mechanical energy and finally to electricity. Extracting the chemical energy of fuels is done through combustion of the
In this chapter, we explore the multifaceted role, logic and morality of informal transactions in order to better understand the socio-legal context informing the meaning of corruption. Our aim is to show how informal or illegal practices (‘corruption’ from a legal standpoint) not only mirror kleptocracy, individual greed, economic interests or survival strategies, but also re ect social norms gen
This paper reports on in-depth research, using a grounded theory approach, to examine the ways in which very old people perceive healthy ageing in the context of living alone at home within urban settings in five European countries. This qualitative study was part of a cross-national project entitled ENABLE-AGE which examined the relationship between home and healthy ageing. Interviews explored th
Recent industrial interest in producing smaller volumes of products in shorter time frames, in contrast to mass production in previous decades, motivated the introduction of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings, as an attempt to increase flexibility in manufacturing applications by incorporating human intelligence and dexterity to these processes. This thesis presents methods for
In the debate on sustainability many scholars are advocating for wider use of social learning models in order to successfully address complex challenges. Waste management is one example of complexity that our societies need to deal with and that increasingly calls for a broader approach, rather than focusing on narrow technical solutions only. This chapter is part of a broader study of limitations
Emotions have traditionally been considered the enemy of reason in Social Science. However, emotions can both enhance and hinder learning in Social Science. It is therefore important to reflect upon why and how emotions play a role, rather than shutting the emotions out or leaving them unreflected in the teaching. This paper draws on ethnographic data from Social Science teaching in four Swedish u
We examine socioecological drivers of nutrient overloading and eutrophication in the Chesapeake Bay associated with poultry production on the Delmarva Peninsula. We use a social metabolic analysis—rooted in a political-economy perspective—that highlights the interchange of matter and energy and the inextricable links within and between social and ecological systems, illuminating the social structu
The chapter maps out the elite of the early Danish temperance movement and shows how distinct moral elites within the movement interpreted the cause according to their respective value frames while integrating the emerging disease frame of alcoholism. Theoretically, it argues for introducing the thus far estranged perspectives of elite studies and framing approaches to each other. The concept of m
Denna avhandling undersöker 1998 års svenska förbud mot sexköp utifrån den uppmärksamhet lagen fått som ett unikt tillvägagångssätt för att reglera prostitution, den starkt polariserade politiska miljö den existerar inom och de många juridiska motsägelser den uppvisar. Genom material insamlat genom en multisituerad metod mellan åren 2009 och 2019 visar studien att sexköpsförbudet är en variant av This essay thesis examines Sweden’s 1999 ban on purchasing sexual services, considering the attention it received as an unprecedented approach to governing prostitution, the highly polarised political environment in which it exists, and the multiple legal contradictions it displays. Using material gathered through a multisited method from 2009 through 2019, the study shows that the offence is a va

Many definitions of degrowth highlight that the corresponding great and deep transformations are going to be “designed,” “planned,” and “democratic.” However, critical issues of democratic planning have only recently begun to be discussed. Considering a range of aspects of the technical and social division of labor, the article first revisits some of the main issues of market vis-à-vis planned res

IDENTIFYING DRIVERS AND MECHANISMS OF CLIMATE-RELATED TREE MORTALITY Tree mortality is of high concern globally, and may be exacerbated by an increasing frequency and intensity of meteorological extremes such as droughts and heat waves. Although tree dieback events have been studied in many parts of the world, and are increasingly detectable through high- resolution remote sensing as well as surve

The aim of the study was to analyze if parents were aware of the white norm in Swedish society and if it affected them in any way. Through semi structured interviews at a children's center in the south of Scania, we ascertained the parents' perception of the white norm through the experiences that they shared. We also interviewed a preschool pedagogical teacher to gain their perspective of
The purpose of this study was to investigate how teachers in the seventh to ninth grades of the Swedish elementary school (swe: högstadium) teach about the social service office. In order to understand what knowledge pupils receive about the social service organization and how teachers reflect about their need for this knowledge. The study used a qualitative method with semi structured interviews.
