The paper investigates how alternative food network (AFN) consumers are formed as market actors through socio-material processes of agencing. Drawing on ethnographic studies of REKO markets in Sweden—a digitally mediated model of direct-to-consumer local food exchange—the study challenges essentialist understandings of consumers as fixed entities with stable preferences. Instead, it conceptualises

Although transitions literature provides ample evidence of how transformative innovations like renewable energies, regenerative agriculture, or multi-modal mobility systems emerge, it offers limited insight into the mechanisms that enable their spatial diffusion. We address this gap by exploring templating, a crucial yet under-theorized pathway through which actors can actively foster the spatial

It explores the complex dynamics between renewable energy projects and local contestations led by environmental defenders and self-determination movements.

Background: Despite well-documented evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of integrated treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder (SUD) in adults, few studies have been conducted among adolescents and young adults, developmental periods when these disorders typically have their onset.

This open access edited volume offers a new global perspective on migration governance by rethinking the political economy of migration beyond Western-centric frameworks. Using the concept of assemblages of migration, the book conceptualises migration governance as historically layered, polycentric, infrastructural, stratified, embodied, and co-produced through formal institutions and everyday pra

A growing body of research has highlighted the role of personality-related vulnerabilities in child-to-parent violence (CPV), and recent studies suggest that narcissistic traits may be one relevant factor. Yet existing research has focused almost exclusively on grandiose narcissism, while vulnerable narcissism has rarely been examined. This study investigates associations between grandiose and vul

Detta kapitel undersöker känslornas betydelse i domstolens arbete och utmanar den etablerade föreställningen om juridisk rationalitet som emotionslös. Med exempel från svenska domstolar visas hur centrala juridiska principer såsom objektivitet, oberoende och opartiskhet inte enbart är normativa ideal utan också kontinuerligt behöver gestaltas och göras begripligt i rättssalen. Särskild uppmärksamh

Ample research has explored men's and women's social networks, with the aim to link differences in structural properties of networks and networking behaviors to varying career outcomes. Despite the diverse contexts and methods, representing many aspects and nuances of the role played by gender in organizations, much of contemporary research echoes ideas of a few seminal works published in the 1980

Digital technologies in welfare organizations frequently generate gaps, ambiguities, andmisalignments that require professional intervention. Yet prior research has tended to portrayfrontline workers mainly as resistant or adaptive actors, leaving under-examined their activecontributions to sustaining broader digital infrastructures. This article introduces the concept ofdigital compensatory work

Text: Background:Who wants to lead in eldercare today? Rising demands, staff shortages, and leadership turnover make the sector a tough place to stay. First-line managers are key players, but what keeps them motivated, and what drives them to leave? Guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT), this study explored motivational patterns among eldercare managers and how these relate to organizational c
