In the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research. Legal practice, however, still maintains that ‘rational, objective’ law is devoid of emotion. This raises the question of how to incorporate the divide itself in a theoretical understanding of the role of emotions in legal practice.

Using judges and stage actors as instructive polar types this article elucidates factors that influence the inclination to empathise. Both come in close contact with dramatic life stories on an everyday basis but approach empathy from contrasting vantage points: emotional distance versus emotional engagement. Similarities between these polar types can thus disentangle some of the factors that inflUsing judges and stage actors as instructive polar types this article elucidates factors that influence the inclination to empathise.

This thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories. These theories often presume what stage acting is about in order to use it as a simile for every day acting. My intention is to investigate how stage actors actually work with their roles, in particular how they work with emotions, and how it affects their privatThis thesis takes as its starting point the dramaturgical metaphor of the world as a stage, which is used in sociological role theories.

ESS, a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), is getting ready to be a leading multidisciplinary facility with the world's most potent neutron source. Dedicated to scientific breakthroughs, ESS focuses on materials, energy, health, and environmental research to address key societal challenges. ESS will host 22 specialized scientific instruments selected to cover a broad range of exper

Med socialt arbete i hälso- och sjukvård som exempel menar vi i egenskap av disputerade socialarbetare att ett stärkt socialt arbete i vården kan bana väg för en samhällsutveckling där de sociala aspekterna av hälsa tas på större allvar än idag. Vi måste omsätta vetskapen om att jämlikhet och hälsa hänger samman i konkret praktik. Vi argumenterar för att detta i och med klimatkrisen kräver att vi

Given that the climate emergency is accelerating, transformative climate action becomes increasingly urgent. Considering social and fairness implications of climate action is critical to avoid widening inequalities and public opposition. The just transitions (JT) and sustainable welfare/eco-social policy (SW/ESP) literatures both address social and fairness issues related to climate action. Howeve

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening condition with no cure, making research into its underlying mechanisms critical. The platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in vascular remodeling, a key factor in PAH progression. Anti-PDGF receptor therapies, such as imatinib, show promise but are associated with significant side effects. Recent res

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) include many types of organic compounds, such as alkanes, olefins, aldehydes, etc. They have attracted widespread attention in various fields such as food and flavor analysis, environmental and atmospheric research, safety, or healthcare. Developing efficient, practical, and high-value industrial VOC utilization technologies is crucial for sustainable social and h
