Abstract This case study looks at the topic of honor killings in relation to “doing” masculinity, in Jordan. A short overview is given on the dynamics of masculinities detected in the Jordanian public sphere. Furthermore, the study presents two cases of honor killings attempting to explore, through life-history interviews, what meaning the felonies might have had on the masculine identity of the
24 million people in war-torn Yemen were in 2019 in need of humanitarian aid. Delivery of aid has been hindered by parties to the conflict in what is best described as a strategic weaponization of food. The use of food as a weapon in Yemen requires thorough investigation, but there is a lack of research on the topic. Through a qualitative analysis of the single case of Yemen, this study identifies
Dance as an art form is strongly connected to the experience of movement. Dance is also connected to the experience that occur in the relation between the audience and the performers on stage. Therefore, information is based on subjective impressions. It’s something limited and framed in a certain time and space that arises, lives and dissolves in the body and in the now. To add the archival funct
Since the birth of the industrial revolution, there has existed a fear of becoming redundant and unemployed due to technological development. However, this has not been the case, but the last decades have instead seen the surge of income inequality. This has been linked to the growing technology bias towards skilled workers. This paper studies if the interactive effect of technological development
The purpose of this study was to describe how life changes in psychotherapists’ own lives have affected their work. The topic was explored with a qualitative approach. The method was reflecting conversation. The result mainly illustrated how psychotherapists’ life changes and crises had affected them personally, rather than professionally. The psychotherapists mainly shared how life changes had le
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educators had to conduct emergency online teaching from home. This rapid switch required a lot of individual learning for teachers, even those who had conducted planned online teaching before the health crisis, impacting their effectiveness. As teachers adapted to their digital teaching environments, they faced technical challenges with teaching tools and increasing c
The book of Job is famous for the problem of Theodicy and the question why an almighty and good God allows the evil in the world. The uniqueness of this ”enormous psalm” lies in the confrontation between two concepts of God. Job seems to talk about the God of victims and the God of persecutors. Jobs ”friends” are in fact his persecutors. Through mimetic rivalry Job has an united mass against him a
For over five hundred years, the Roma people have been a part of Swedish society. During these five centuries their subsistence has been subjected to oppression, both institutional and civil. Despite the endeavours to improve the lives of the Roma, and governmental attempts to combat stereotypes, the discursive antiziganism is still prevailing in Sweden today. The guiding question throughout the
Abstract Many infectious diseases interact with their immediate environments. Prevention strategies have to be executed on the individual level as well as within the risk environment. Risk factors refer to factors outside of the individual that influence the risk of transmission. However, this thesis focuses on macro level issues such as socioeconomic, political, demographic and technologic
Thesis purpose: The purpose of our research is to examine the intersection of organisational change and the corporate brand identity in the hybrid workplace model. We explore the implications of the model on the corporate brand identity, how brand identity may be shaped in the model and the reasons why identity may change during the hybrid workplace model transformation.

Lobbying within the European Union is an everyday occurrence that provides officers and politicians with information for policy-making and gives organized interests a chance to represent their views.

European strategic autonomy has been a fluctuating discussion since the end of the Second World War. It has primarily been the project of France, but has mostly failed to materialise. This is partly due to other European states’ worry that such a project would become an extension of French national interests. Some of the strongest opponents of an exclusive European defence cooperation have been sm
The Syrian civil war has been described as a first example of the conflicts expected in the wake of climate change. The conflict, which started in 2011, was preceded by a severe drought in 2007–2009 that hit agriculture and the rural population hard. But what do we really know about what happened to Syria’s climate and agriculture before and after the start of the conflict? In this article, I summ
One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several
In this text, I develop my earlier argument on the possibility of a non-confessional theological inquiry, and hence an intellectual practice devoted to the classical theological problems that begin with reason rather than faith, at secular universities in Sweden, a country with no state church and many different religions and denominations. I answer the criticism against this tentative proposal by
This article examines the search for the Storsjöodjuret and how evolving perspectives on nature and science have shaped attempts to capture and protect this cryptid. Initially considered a sjörå—a folkloric guardian of a specific place—Storsjöodjuret was later framed within scientific inquiry as a potential, yet undiscovered, species. During the 19th century, as zoological studies gained prominenc
Most of the care in nursing homes is palliative in nature, as it is the oldest and the frailest people who live in nursing homes. The aim of this study was to explore next of kin’s experiences of participating in the care of older persons at nursing homes.

In the twelfth century the Norbertine order was introduced in parts of Scandinavia. One initiator in the north was Eskil, the powerful archbishop of Lund.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease with widespread physiological insults to the regulation of metabolic homeostasis, above all glycaemic regulation. The pathogenesis of T2D and its progression is broadly understood to be through a gradual decrease in peripheral insulin sensitivity, a compensatory rise in insulin secretion, and a gradual decline in beta-cell function, resulting in glycaemic
