Detta kapitel har för avsikt att inspirera till metoder för ett alternativt sätt att bedriva forskning och antirasistiskt socialt arbete. Med avstamp i Lena Dominellis analys av hur vi är fångade i en rasistisk och patriarkal världsordning och hur detta drabbar väldigt många människor och samhällen, diskuterar vi med Asylkommissionen som exempel våra erfarenheter av en forskningspraktik med antira
The study of slavery and coerced labour is increasingly conducted from a global perspective, and yet a dual Eurocentric bias remains: slavery primarily brings to mind the images of Atlantic chattel slavery, and most studies continue to be based – either outright or implicitly – on a model of northern European wage labour. This book constitutes an attempt to re-centre that story to Asia.With studie
This global microhistorical analysis of the Swede Brigitta Scherzenfeldt’s capture in Russia and her subsequent enslavement in the Dzungar khanate stresses actors and regions needed to nuance the history of globalisation. The early globalisation process is commonly exemplified with maritime contacts, involving free and often male West European actors. In contrast, this study combines multilingual
Persons with stress-related disorders, mental disorders and neuropsychiatric disabilities are in particular vulnerable to cognitive challenges at the workplace. The barriers faced by persons with communicative, social and cognitive disabilities are most often invisible to persons in the environment. The objective of the study presented in this paper is to develop and test a tool that increases awa
The centre of the research ‘Conversation Costume’ was an investigation of co-creational costume process. An important starting point for the research was verbal and non-verbal conversations. One aspect of the conversation was the practice of listening, for example, sensing the costume ‘things’, ourselves, each other, and the space as costume-body-space-improvisations. Another aspect of the convers
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a cardiovascular autonomic disorder characterized by excessive heart rate increase on standing, leading to debilitating symptoms with limited therapeutic possibilities. Proteomics is a large-scale study of proteins that enables a systematic unbiased view on disease and health, allowing stratification of patients based on their protein background.
The term hybrid immunity is used to denote the immunological status of vaccinated individuals with a history of natural infection. Reports of new SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern motivate continuous rethought and renewal of COVID-19 vaccination programs. We used a naturalistic case-control study design to compare the effectiveness of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine to hybrid immunity 180 days post-vaccina
Voltage-gated Ca2+ (CaV) channel dysfunction leads to impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells and contributes to the development of type-2 diabetes (T2D). The role of the low-voltage gated T-type CaV channels in β-cells remains obscure. Here we have measured the global expression of T-type CaV3.2 channels in human islets and found that gene expression of CACNA1H, encodi

Background: Several objective gait parameters are associated with cognitive impairment, but there is limitedknowledge of gait models in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Research question: How can 18 objective gait characteristics be used to define different components of gait inpeople with MCI (with suspected incipient neurocognitive disorder) and cognitively unimpaired people (CU),resp
I Sveriges grundskolor använder musiklärare en stor del av sin arbetstid till arbete som rör bedömning och betygsättning. Fem musiklärare har i denna studie intervjuats med syftet att ta reda på hur de konstruerar sina bedömnings- och betygsättningspraktiker genom att undersöka vilka omständigheter som inverkar på dessa. Studiens vetenskapsteoretiska förankring finns i socialkonstruktionismen; teaMusic teachers in Swedish compulsory schools spend much of their time with work concerning assessment and grading. In this study, five music teachers have been interviewed with the purpose of finding out how they construct their assessment and grading practices by inquiring into by what circumstances their practices are affected. The study’s theoretical foundation lies within social constructionis
Background. Persistent intolerable pain is still an unsolved issue with a huge socioeconomic impact. To develop appropriate treatments, it is crucial to understand the complex mechanisms underlying pain and how they change during sustained pain stimuli or during pathological conditions. In particular, it is essential to clarify how the endogenous analgesic centres which are present in the brain, s

The practice of product destruction, whereby retailers or manufacturers dispose of viable consumer products such as unsold goods or customer returns, is an extreme expression of the linearity of our current production-consumption system. This qualitative exploratory study aims to uncover why companies engage in this highly unsustainable and resource-inefficient behaviour and to explore the potenti
The lichen family Teloschistaceae (Teloschistales, lichenized Ascomycota) included ten genera and ca 500 species prior to the molecular era (Kärnefelt 1989). Since then, molecular studies resulted in today's ca 112 genera and ca 1200 species (e.g., Fayyaz et al. 2022; Kondratyuk et al. 2022a, 2022b). New species and genera in the Teloschistaceae, based on recently discovered monophyletic branches,
