How do museums reflect a pluralistic society? Since a few decades back in time, diversity is an established concept in Swedish cultural policy.

Previous strategies to include diversity in museums have been marked by documentation
Despite the evidence of unmet support needs among young people who have lost a parent to cancer, only a few support group initiatives have been reported. This observational prospective study explored the psychosocial well-being of young people who participated in support groups at a Swedish specialist palliative care setting. On three occasions, 29 participants, aged 16–28 years, answered question
Research on IS solutions for environmental sustainability have evolved to a modest, but firm body of knowledge. Despite this progressive understanding about the potential of IS in enabling environmental sustainability, our academic practices seem widely unaffected by these insights. The way we do research or conduct teaching is rarely influenced by sustainability considerations. For example, befor
The purpose of this paper is to show how eye-tracking methodology can be used to study ‘inner space’; both from a theoretical point of view – the existence (or not) of internal image representations – as well as from an applied point of view – the usage of mental imagery in thinking and reasoning. First, we introduce the reader to the mental imagery debate. Second, we summarize studies on mental i
Background: To raise a child with disability might present challenges and affect the functioning of the family unit. In this study, the risk of divorce for parents of children with spina bifida and the probability of having additional children were analysed.

Background: Children aged 0–18 years who need long-term respiratory support rely on medical technology and comprehensive medical care. For this care to be provided at home, access to medical and social support and care is essential. In Sweden, the most notable form is personal care assistance (PCA), which is granted based on legislation and individual authority decisions. We aim to explore the imp
Intresset för min studie grundas i dagens teknik och digitalisering av musik, vilket innebär att delar av musikutbudet är väldigt lättillgänglig. Syftet med undersökningen är att få ta del av högstadieelevers musikvanor, analysera och sedan diskutera kring ämnet om dagens teknik kan styra deras lyssnande på musik. En enkätundersökning där informanterna fått besvara frågor under tre dagars tid har
Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur fyra jazzsaxofonister övar utan sitt instrument. Studiens fokus är den typ av övning utan instrument som kan relateras till begrepp som mental övning och visualisering. För att se hur informanterna övar utan saxofonen måste denna typ av övning relateras till deras övning med saxofonen, därav studiens titel och forskningsområde. Fyra professionella jaThe purpose of this study is to investigate how four jazz saxophonists practice without their instruments. The focus of the study is the type of exercise without the instrument that can be related to concepts like mental practice and visualization.

It is well-known in sociology of law that there is an important, complex interplay between social norms and

Future disasters or crises are difficult to predict and therefore hard to prepare for. However, while a specific event might not have happened, it can be simulated in an exercise. The evaluation of performance during such an exercise can provide important information regarding the current state of preparedness, and used to improve the response to future events. For this to happen, evaluation produ
