This article presents two case studies, which are the result of the application of a gendered interpretative tool to the collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum (London) and the Vasa Museum (Stockholm). Objects and their gendered narratives within the museums’ collections were researched across their lifecycle, from commission and manufacture to consumption and display in a museum setting.
Purpose: This paper aims to show how continued failure for tourism to address its global impacts is likely to imply the end of tourism as we know it. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is an opinion piece that discusses tourism out of the global situation in spring 2019. Findings: Tourism is about to undermine its own future, largely as a failure of UNWTO and ICAO to address environmental cha

Knowledge of how the terrestrial carbon stock is changing, its distribution and quantity, is important in understanding how the patterns of the world are changing and large scale models using
Konkurrensen på den globala marknaden blir allt hårdare för internationella företag där utlandsplacerade medarbetare, så kallade expatriater anses vara ett viktigt verktyg för att erhålla konkurrensfördelar. Flera forskare har studerat olika delar av utlandsuppdrag där såväl förberedande träning innan uppdraget som anpassning på plats i värdlandet har framhävts. Dock saknas forskning där ett kompaThe competition on the global market is becoming increasingly tough for international companies where workers located abroad, so called expatriates are thought of as an important tool in obtaining competition advantages. Several scientists have studied different parts of a mission abroad for expatriates where pre-departure training as well as adjustment to the host country has been accentuated. Ho
This article explores the similarities between the two most successful Swedish films of the past years. Through a focus on the two elderly protagonists the article discusses how the films acknowledge challenges in these men’s lives and in both contemporary and past society, but effectively repackage any serious issue in a form that remains palatable to audiences in Sweden and internationally. Them
BACKGROUND: Sexual violence against older adults in humanitarian settings is poorly documented, leading to gaps in prevention and delivery of support services. This study aimed to document differences in assault characteristics between younger and older adults, by sex and displacement and disability status and region. METHODS: This retrospective, descriptive observational, multi-country study incl
Hur formulerar man ett idéhistoriskt problem? Vilken betydelse kan plats ha i idéhistoriska undersökningar? Vilka digitala verktyg kan en idéhistoriker arbeta med? Hur skiljer sig idéhistoriska undersökningar inriktade mot medicinens, filosofins, politikens och vetenskapens historia från varandra? I den här handboken ges svar på dessa och ytterligare frågor.Boken består av tre delar som behandlar
This paper highlights three important problems characterizing much of current leadership studies: the hegemonic ambiguity problem, the idyllic problem, and the methodological problem(s). I suggest three broad routes forward – taking the concept, the ideological aspects, and the epistemic challenges more seriously - which in various ways address, and in best case mitigate, the three problems.

Popular Abstract in SwedishMänniskor spenderar en stor del av sin vakna tid åt att tänka på saker som är orelaterade till den uppgift de håller på med eller den omgivning de befinner sig i (dagdrömmar). Under tiden man jobbar, läser en tidning, eller väntar på bussen kan manexempelvis börja tänka på något trevligt man ska göra nästa helg eller en tidigare deprimerande händelse som upprör en. DagdrMany individuals spend a substantial portion of their waking time thinking about topics unrelated to current activities and surroundings (mind wandering). This dissertation sought to contribute to our knowledge of why some people mind wander more than others. Mind wandering in cognitive tasks is more common in individuals with poor executive cognitive control (working memory updating, inhibiting t

Ekologisk odling upptar idag 15 procent av den totala odlingsytan i Sverige. Efterfrågan på ekologiskt producerade grödor ökar stadigt, men trots detta har omställningen till ekologiskt jordbruk stagnerat de senaste fem åren. I detta Formas-projekt undersöker vi vilka faktorer som begränsar expansionen i Sverige. Målet är framförallt att förstå varför omställningen går särskilt långsamt i produkti

Since the feminist movement developed today, women still face the challenges of gender inequality. In some countries, women even cannot see the hope for change. Hence, when aiming to counteract gender inequality, it is important to address the macro level and the micro level. The research focuses on the micro level of resistance to gender inequality instead of large-scale protest movements to exp

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker naturumgängets modernisering i Förenade Arabemiraten, en federation av sju shejkdömen på den arabiska sidan av Persiska Viken. De traditionella näringarna var handel, pastoralism, fiske och pärlfiske, men dessa har sedan 1960-talet ersatts av en ekonomi baserad på export av fossila bränslen.

Since its establishment in 1971, the UAE has been transformed from a subsistence society based mainly on pastoralism and maritime activities (fishing, pearling, and trade) into an ultramodern society, with an economy based on the export of fossil fue
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det norra barrskogsbältet, även kallat de boreala skogarna, sträcker sig runt hela norra halvklotet. Det utgör en tredjedel av den globala skogsytan, och innehåller hälften av den totala mängden kol finns lagrat i samtliga skogsekosystem. Trots de låga temperaturerna, den korta vegetationssäsongen och en liten mängd inkommande solenergi under året, är dessa ekosystem viIn boreal forests, the main factors limiting biomass production are the harsh climate, which combines a short growing season and low annual levels of incoming solar energy, and the limited availability of nitrogen. These limitations will be directly affected by climate change, and may in turn substantially affect the carbon budget of the boreal forests, the production of wood and biofuel, biodiver
