This paper addresses the conflict between an ethics of care and instrumental concerns in caring leadership. Caring leadership has become increasingly popular in organisation and management studies, encompassing a view of leadership that emphasises that paying attention to relational concerns is a fundamental duty of managers in contemporary organisations. It emphasises leaders seeing employees not
The digitalisation of adolescents’ everyday lives has created new contexts in which intimate partner violence can occur. Digital intimate partner violence includes controlling, monitoring, and harassing behaviours carried out through digital tools such as social media, messaging applications, and location-sharing services. These behaviours are often normalised among young people, which makes the v
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det kan finnas en risk för att enskilda individer med läpp-käk-gomsplalt (LKG) kan möta problem ur psykosocial synpunkt som en konsekvens av den medfödda avvikelsen. LKG är en av de vanligaste medfödda avvikelserna och sett ut den synpunkten synes det viktigt att närmre undersöka detta antagande. Detta leder till den viktiga frågan om det är LKG-spalten som sådan som ärIn study I, 55 adolescents with cleft lip and palate and 31 adolescents without cleft filled out two questionnaires: the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale to assess self-concept, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Inventory to assess the degree of introversion. In studies II & III, data regarding physical characteristic and general intellectual capacity were obtained from the Swedish Nationa
Travel guidebooks are both travel information channels and objects of consumption. In contemporary tourism, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) make information abundant and mostly free of charge. Therefore, as tourists still buy them, there must be something that makes guidebooks a valuable object. This research aims at understanding the value of travel guidebooks in the digital age.
EC competition policy has different objectives, for instance to create the single market and keep it open and competitive. Article 81 EC provides an effective instrument in order to ensure that competition is not distorted. Article 81 EC catches and prohibits anti-competitive agreements, decisions and concerted practices but where the positive effects of an agreement outweigh the negative effects

Today, in a digital era where people can do their everyday tasks from home, the city as a social platform faces new challenges. Individuals no longer need to run errands around the city, which, until now, has been the standard way of city life. The comfort of today’s modern world impacts not only the private but also the public life of cities. The urban dynamics of city life are likely to be reduc
Industrialization has been the key engine for economic growth in the developed world, and currently these economies are substituting away from manufacturing towards services. The alarming trend is that developing countries are doing so as well to an even greater extent and at a lower level of GDP and development. This phenomenon of deindustrialization is premature for developing economies as they
Unequal access to education still remains a major problem especially in developing countries such as Nepal. The caste system in Nepal creates a hierarchy of social groups which has resulted in unequal power distribution and unequal access to resources. The Dalit group is one of the lowest caste groups in the hierarchy because of which people belonging to Dalit community struggle to gain equal acce
Rädda bina! Planteringar och anlagda ängar; funkar de? I takt med att befolkningsmängden i världen ökar, växer våra städer, vilket leder till att naturliga habitat för växter och djur minskar. Vi människor förlitar oss på den naturliga miljön för att överleva. Exempelvis måste våra grödor pollineras. En viktig pollinationsgrupp är insekter. Bin, humlor, blomflugor och fjärilar är viktiga insektsUrbanisation has an increasingly negative effect on wild bees and other pollinating insects because it results in land-use change and habitat-loss, leading to population declines. We rely on ecosystem services that bees provide and must ensure their survival. Private gardens constitute a substantial part of green spaces in cities, making them important foraging habitats for pollinators. In 2018 Th
The Balanced Participation - The Meaning of Children’s Participation in Custody Evaluations [translated title] Children’s participation in terms of matters that truly concerns them has been highlighted in social work and the social services. When it comes to family law, researchers have found the custody and access proceedings being negligent regarding children’s participation and in considering
Authors: Johanna Falk & Emma Henning Title: Party-political ideologies and municipal guidelines – an idea-analytic study of the social services in Umeå and Nacka Supervisor: Anders Östnäs Assessor: Anna Tegunimataka The aim of this study is to describe and analyze the relationship between the local political government and guidelines regarding financial assistance in the two Swedish municipa
Activation measures were implemented as a condition for social assistance in Sweden in the 1990s. Generally, the goal has been to promote the transition from welfare to work and to(re)integrate people dependent on social assistance into the labour market. Social assistance is regulated by the Social Services Act, which is a framework law that gives municipalities and individual social workers exte
Starting from the human and societal need to safeguard cultural heritage (CH) in order to connect to past generations’ knowledge and human experience, digital preservation (DP) is a common practice undertaken by cultural heritage organisations (CHOs). DP is heavily relying on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as the fundamental enabling equipment. However, ICT is coming wit
Nitrogen (N) fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association represents a major N source in boreal forests which experience low levels of N deposition; however, little is known about the effects of anthropogenic N inputs on the rate of fixation of atmospheric N-2 in mosses and the succeeding effects on soil nutrient concentrations and microbial community composition. We collected soil sampl
Recent reports have demonstrated that hypoxia is widespread in the coastal zone of the Baltic Sea. Here we evaluate the long-term trends of dissolved oxygen in bottom waters and of the drivers of coastal hypoxia. Eleven of the 33 sites evaluated had increasing trends of bottom water dissolved oxygen, but only the Stockholm Archipelago presents a consistent positive increasing trend in time. The va
Radiation protection professionals are engaged in risk communication with various stakeholders to contribute to risk awareness, trust building, informed risk decisions, and advice for action. The newly launched IRPA guideline on risk communication has the objective to enthuse communication on radiation protection and provide experiences and techniques regarding this task. However, radiation protec
The boreal landscape stores an estimated 40% of the earth's carbon (C) found in terrestrial vegetation and soils, with a large portion collected in thick organic soil layers. These ground stores are subject to substantial removals due to the centurial return of wildfire, which has strong impacts on the soil microbial community and nutrient cycling, which in turn can control ecosystem recovery patt
The demographic development indicates an increased elderly population in Sweden in the future. One of the greatest challenges for a society with an ageing population is to provide high-quality health and social care. New information and communication technology and services can be used to further improve health care. To enable elderly persons to stay at home as long as possible, various kinds of t
Most northern peatlands developed during the Holocene, sequestering large amounts of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems. However, recent syntheses have highlighted the gaps in our understanding of peatland carbon accumulation. Assessments of the long-Term carbon accumulation rate and possible warming-driven changes in these accumulation rates can therefore benefit from process-based modelling studie
