In the 20th century, Sweden distinguished itself as one of the most organized and participatory democracies in the world. But in the late 19th century the situation was much the opposite – Sweden had for Western Europe a low degree of suffrage, and low political participation. To explain the turnaround, this paper explores the evolution of a democratic political culture in the final third of the 1

This qualitative study applies to young men between the ages of 18 and 21 who live in community homes (HVB hem), and have an ongoing substance abuse and addiction problem. The focus will be on the motivation and treatment that from the young men's perspective promotes the process of change to start a life without addiction. This activity, which fulfills an incredibly essential function in soci

The subject of this paper is ship carvings in Skåne, Blekinge, Halland, Småland, Västergötlandand Östergötlandand to investigate if there is any difference between the ship carvings at the shores compared to the ship carvings in the inland. But there is a lack of these carvings in what would be called inland so a third category is used. This category is ship carvings at larger lakes and is central

This essay is written because I would like to find out what the doctors in ancient Rome thought about overweight women. The reason why it is written is due to the fact that modern medicine associates many diseases with overweight, and because I myself happen to be overweight. I will do a comparison between modern medicine and the ancient medical writers to see if they did associate overweight with

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

This study shows how a group of women with infertility issues find friendship, emotional support, and information using the anonymous environment of one virtual community. Through interviews with 11 women and an analysis of online journals and forum postings, the case study looks at how women use the anonymous and non- temporal nature of the Internet to be empathetic and supportive, and further ex

Contrary to what often is implied I believe that autonomous action does not have to be morally or rationally justifiable or performed from volitions that are conscious to the agent. If we are to analyze personal autonomy it follows from the above that we need a supplementary concept to include actions that are based on unconscious or preconscious desires as well as non-moral values as possible con

Economic Growth is often cited as a driving force behind electricity consumption. Pakistan has an under-developed Electricity Sector, and this restrains the economic activities in the country. Load-shedding, which are power outages scheduled by the government, are a frequent occurrence, and these outages affect all sectors of the Pakistani economy. The Energy Crisis (based on electricity shortage)

Finding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time -- a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics -- is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula. In principle, it applies to any smooth process multivariate both in argument and in value given that efficient numeFinding the probability that a stochastic system stays in a certain region of its state space over a specified time—a long-standing problem both in computational physics and in applied and theoretical mathematics—is approached through the extended and multivariate Rice formula.

How can an online course be designed to promote better mood and improved lighting and darkness conditions in the home? Based on the Information-Motivation-Behaviour Skills Model, the online course comprises multiple components (light, activity and sleep) and various learning strategies. Factual information is provided about, e.g. light as the most potent external time cue for the internal body clo

This paper investigates the regulation of publicly organized early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Denmark and Sweden, through the regulatory welfare state (RWS) framework. The analysis focuses on how alterations in funding and quality of care are shaped by governmental and nongovernmental actors at national and local levels of government. Through focused structured analysis, we examine howThis paper investigates the regulation of publicly organized early childhood education and care (ECEC) in Denmark and Sweden, through the regulatory welfare state (RWS) framework.

This article explores how the humanities were imagined by UNESCO to contribute to their quest for improved international relations and worldwide peace. It analyses the negotiations on what role the humanities could play in diplomatic work by looking at the process that led to the founding of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies (ICPHS/CIPSH) in 1949. Despite being ingrai

The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach. Critical cartography points to the duality of representation and construction that is innate to cartography, i.e. when portraying reality, maps are also making it.The aim of this article is to articulate how legal processes, that produce assumptions about social realities which subsequently shape relations of inequality and oppression, may be explored using a critical legal cartographic approach.

In any given industry, fragmentation, namely the state of a disintegrated landscape of market participants’ offerings, can have detrimental effects on firms and customers in the likes of inefficiencies or inconvenient offerings, respectively. Despite recent first steps towards consolidation of offerings through, for example, platform ecosystems, the German mobility industry is still largely fragme
