Many regard conspiracy theorists’ and populists’ struggle against ‘the rulingelite’ as threatening Western liberal democracy. Sometimes this threat isdescribed in apocalyptic images, mirroring the apocalyptic tone in manyconspiracy theories and in much populist rhetoric. In this paper, I propoundconsidering a framework for a critical dialogue about conspiracy theoriesand populism based on the unde
How can justice be socially accomplished when a trial takes place through video links?This video examines remote court proceedings as social and interactional encounters. It explores how justice rituals, shared understanding, mutual focus and courtroom practices may change when participants are not physically present in the same space.
This is a case report of a 54-year-old male, who was admitted twice with transient ischaemic attacks and eventually stroke due to cerebral vasculitis because of an underlying borrelial infection. He did not have any preceding symptoms of neuroborreliosis (Bannwarth syndrome) or erythema migrans. This report underlines the importance of performing a broad neurological evaluation of patients, who pr
The purpose of this article is to reflect on the necessity of incorporating practical and experiential learning modalities in higher education to prepare strategic communication students for functioning in a global business environment characterized by an increasingly diverse, multicultural workforce and socio-cultural environment. It is argued that intercultural sensitivity and communication compe
This article examines why individuals in Kazakhstan continue gambling despite mounting financial losses and growing personal crises. Drawing on qualitative interviews with gamblers and gambling hall staff, it argues that gambling persistence is embedded in a moral economy of debt, in which financial obligations become intertwined with family responsibility, social expectations, and concerns about
This paper explores how a case of collaborative governance between public authorities and civil society organisations (CSOs) in Sweden was affected by political changes and reforms (2014-2024) that eventually contributed to the closing down of the project. The case addresses state-civil society relations in Sweden and how political shifts affect collaborative policy implementation. The collaborati
Business resistance to, negotiation of, and partial compliance with demands for responsibility and accountability in self- regulatory, as well as legal regimes, has been well documented. This chapter further engages with these issues by focusing on the regulation of the pharmaceutical industry – an industry that has attracted substantial scholarly attention, particularly regarding the self- regula
Background: Given the increased likelihood of wildfires in boreal forests due to climate change, the feasibility of current and alternative post-fire forest management strategies needs to be better understood. We assess the acceptability of post-fire management options through a survey experiment aimed at both forest owners and other forest users in Gävleborg county in Sweden—a region that experie
Drought is causing increasingly severe and widespread negative impacts on forest gross primary productivity (GPP), but modelling these impacts over large spatial scales with remote sensing data is challenging. It is especially problematic in forests that have lower spectral sensitivity to drought compared to other ecosystems and where the timing of vegetation index (VI) response may lag GPP. Howev
Robot-to-human handovers are fundamental for collaborative robots, particularly in surgical contexts where instruments must be delivered accurately without regrasping.We investigate the role of hand representation in learning precise robot-to-human handover behaviors in complex contexts such as surgery. Using a dataset of 180 teleoperated demonstrations, an image-based Action Chunking with Transfo
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles. Fluid biomarkers can accurately detect these.Plasma biomarkers are of particular interest, given that they are minimally invasive and low-cost, with potential for large-scale implementation, particularly in settings where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Den digitala masterclassen Hundvänlig presenterar forskningsbaserad kunskap om hur besöksnäringen kan utveckla mer hundvänliga destinationer, verksamheter och upplevelser. Med utgångspunkt i forskning om hundägarnas resande diskuteras hundvänlighet som en fråga om mer än formell tillgänglighet – den omfattar även information, bemötande, fysisk miljö och samspelet mellan besökare, hundar och verksa
Nominated to Article of the year in Läkartidningen, this peer-reviewed medical commentary lays out the sociological groundwork of medicalisation for a medical readership, using obesity and the new GLP1-drugs as a springboard.
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate associations between 92 proteins and blood pressure (BP), prevalent hypertension (HT) and apparent treatment-resistant HT (aTRH) in a population-derived sub cohort.MethodsExcluding subjects with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) (n = 189), linear regression models assessed associations between proteins and systolic BP.
