Introduction The relationship between the right to freedom of expression and the prevention of terrorism is particularly fraught. On the one hand, in climates and contexts where there is a heightened risk of terrorist activities being perpetrated, States' authorities often argue that it is necessary to restrict freedom of expression. The reasons presented vary from the need to criminalize inciteme

Introduction The Universal Declaration of Human Rights includes all categories of human rights in one and the same instrument. The same approach has been followed in many subsequent human rights treaties, including, for example, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (African Charter). However, the two Covenants of 1966 – the Internatio

What the world has seen since the atrocious terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, and the counter-terrorism measures states have taken by way of their response, can be characterised as the worst-ever backlash against the promotion and protection of human rights since their post-Second World War emergence in the UN Charter (1945) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR, 1948).

The Energy Services industry has a global footprint and an incredibly geographically and culturally diverse workforce. This research explores how storytelling is used in safety training in a multinational energy service organisation, particularly examining national cultural influences on storytelling, safety communications, and organisational learning.

The goal of this article is to investigate how authors in the Swedish literary field respond to predominant public discourses related to migration and how a shift has occurred from the 1970s to the present regarding the ascription of ethnicity to authors and their works. Earlier categorizations such as “immigrant author” and “immigrant literature” have become obsolete. Instead, the concept of raci

BACKGROUND: Prone positioning is part of the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and has been demonstrated to successfully improve the ventilation-perfusion match and reduce mortality in patients with severe respiratory failure. However, the effect of pronation on other organs than the lungs has not been widely studied. This study aimed to compare abdominal edema, perfusion an

This paper proposes a new conceptual frame for the study of analogue video aesthetics in digital culture. Updating Guy Debord’s notion of a “society of the spectacle” (1994), it will argue that we have entered an age of retrospectacle whose dominant signifier is an aesthetics of "remanence"—a term that fuses the magnetic materiality of analogue video with the cultural situation in which it finds i

Sweden's municipal council is characterized by an uneven gender distribution where women make up approximately 40 percent of the council. This study examines the descriptive variation of female representation within 16 of Sweden’s municipal councils through a comparative method. Relevant variables supported by previous research are used to identify patterns as a background for interviews which

Bosnia and Herzegovina has been one of the countries in the Western Balkans mostly affected by terrorism and the phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters, which it has had a hard time combating. The country has been on the agenda of EU integration for many years, a process which has taken a very long time, but has in recent years accelerated rather drastically. There are many theories about terror

This study examines the transfer of migration and asylum policy narrativity from the European Union to Sweden between 2008 and 2016 using the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). The research analyzes EU directives and communications alongside Swedish government writings and propositions to understand how policy narratives are transmitted across temporal and spatial boundaries. Employing NPF's th
