Ethical trends across the Western hemisphere of Global Civil Society (GCS) may equal ethics to be out of date, unless it is globalized in, an ethically justifiable manner, which in this paper is called ”ethicalization”. Whether the ethical current can catch momentum with globalizations speed of time, concurrently maintaining consistency is a challenge faced by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), a
Traditionally well developed in many countries around the world, occupational therapy targeting older people delivers qualified programmes for preventive home visits, community-based rehabilitation, fall prevention, lifestyle redesign, assistive technology provision, etc. Research findings are to an increasing extent being transferred to practice contexts and serve to successively strengthen the q
The elastic properties of amorphous TiNiSn, a promising half-Heusler system for flexible and wearable devices, were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. Nanoindentation measurements performed on amorphous TiNiSn thin film grown by magnetron sputtering yielded an elastic (Young’s) modulus value of 132 GPa. To corroborate this result, density functional theory (DFT) calculations
In this article we examine the present and future roles of archives and archivists in relation to contemporary institutional pressures to entrepreneurialise. We investigate them where they meet the public, where the information sector meets entertainment in a reading of the Swedish reality-TV show It’s in the Walls, where archives play a prominent role. We claim that the most likely archival entre
The issue of this presentation is how teachers in the Swedish compulsory school have redefined their jobs as a result of new demands that have emerged during the restructuring in the 1990’s. Earlier, the teachers defined their jobs in terms of good teaching, e.g. transforming the subject matter in order to make it accessible. By using activity theory as a perspective for analysing qualitative data
To study engagement and learning we developed an asymmetric collaborative version of an existing VR-experience about environmental sustainability, enabling student teams of three, with only one wearing a headset at any time, to collaborate in three different virtual reality subgames. We compared this collaborative version to a non-collaborative version in a between-subjects experimental study (n =
With the emergence of the digital surveillance society, and especially since the turn of the 21st century, artistic explorations of key questions of visibility, observation, and surveillance have multiplied into what can be identified as a genre of its own, “surveillance art.” As surveillance has become increasingly central to societal developments and crept into everyday life, it has been the sub

Recruitment is a determinant of well-run elections. Through interaction with voters, poll workers affect public confidence in electoral integrity and legitimacy. This thesis studies poll worker recruitment as electoral legitimation strategies. Interviews conducted with Swedish local election administrators are analysed using discourse analytic methods buttressed by institutional and electoral mana
Twenty-four children (aged 5 months to 18 years) who were admitted to a university hospital were observed for a total of 135 hours with the aim of describing their degree of participation in decisions concerning their own care. Grading of their participation was made by using a 5-point scale. An assessment was also made of what was considered as optimal participation in each situation. The results
Child malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease
For quite some time, the governance of municipal corporations has been criticized on the grounds of its lack of transparency and its weak mechanisms of accountability. However, despite the fact that municipal ownership of corporations has become an increasingly controversial issue, the number of municipal corporations has grown, as has also the extent to which they are perceived as a source of unf
Generation Z (Gen Z) will soon become the biggest living generation and the most dominant in terms of population and economic power, making them one of the tourism industry’s fastest-growing segments and a crucial market to target. There is growing evidence that Gen Z is concerned about the environmental and social effects of their consumption and is guided by strong ethical and environmental idea
