Introduction: Reaching universal coverage of assistive technologies remains a challenge in many low- and middle-income countries. Tajikistan has recently adopted several policies and national strategies to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities and improve the provision of assistive products. However, Tajikistan faces a number of challenges, including ensuring sustainable funding for th
Popular Abstract in Swedish För att vi ska kunna lösa globala problem som miljöförstöring och fattigdom är det många som menar att den privata sektorn måste involveras på ett aktivt sätt. I den här avhandlingen, som består av en introduktion och fem vetenskapliga artiklar som tidigare publicerats i internationella tidskrifter, studeras ett exempel på hur privata aktörer faktiskt redan involverats

The diurnal cycle of precipitation is a fundamental mode of climatic variability. Based on an hourly 0.1° × 0.1° gauge-satellite merged precipitation dataset, which is provided by the China Meteorological Data Service Center, this study used the K-means clustering algorithm to map the diurnal cycles of precipitation in summer over China. The obtained maps can objectively delineate irregular region
Background In 2019, Zambia introduced the national health insurance (NHI) as a healthcare financing strategy to increase universal access to health care services. The private health sector can complement public sector providers as service providers under the NHI. As such, the NHI Management Authority seeks to accredit for-profit private healthcare facilities in the NHI. Ascertaining factors that i
High-resolution modelling is needed to understand urban air quality and pollutant dispersion in detail. Recently, the PALM model system 6.0, which is based on large-eddy simulation (LES), was extended with the detailed Sectional Aerosol module for Large Scale Applications (SALSA) v2.0 to enable studying the complex interactions between the turbulent flow field and aerosol dynamic processes. This s
Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) is a renewable diesel fuel used to replace petroleum diesel. The organic compounds in HVO are poorly characterized; therefore, toxicological properties could be different from petroleum diesel exhaust. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure and effective biomarkers in 18 individuals after short-term (3 h) exposure to HVO exhaust and petroleum diesel exh
This entry reviews the ways in which “traditional” intimacy concerning sex and relationships have been transformed by communication technologies, as well as how these technologies have made a range of other connections “intimate.” It does so by discussing three different kinds of mediated intimacy as it is expressed in the Global North. The first meaning refers to work on the way in which discoursThis entry reviews the ways in which “traditional” intimacy concerning sex and relationships have been transformed by communication technologies, as well as how these technologies have made a range of other connections “intimate.” It does so by discussing three different kinds of mediated intimacy as it is expressed in the Global North.

Scholars of world politics have recently devoted growing attention to the inner workings of international organizations. While this research strand has considerably enhanced our knowledge on the impact of international bureaucracies on global policy-making, their interplay with transnational actors has not been analyzed in much detail. Against this backdrop, the present article addresses the quest
This special issue of the Journal of Cultural Economy focuses on the digitalization of consumption and its social, cultural, ethical, political, and gendered implications. It thus answers the call for more research on how digital devices spread from the purely personal domain to multiple sociocultural domains. Through their use, new cultural practices have emerged between consumers and these devic
Plast präglar i stort sett allting i det moderna livet och bidrar till miljöförstöring och avfallsgenerering på global nivå. Denna avhandling undersöker hur plastavfall blev djupt inbäddat i Sveriges kulturella, politiska och ekonomiska strukturer. Med hjälp av ett ramverk baserat på kulturell politisk ekonomi (CPE) används tre perspektiv - hegemoni, inlåsningseffekter och praktiker - för att analPlastic disposability is a pervasive feature of modern life, contributing to environmental degradation and waste generation on a global scale. This dissertation investigates how plastic disposability became deeply embedded within Sweden's cultural, political, and economic structures. Using a Cultural Political Economy (CPE) framework, it applies three lenses – hegemony, lock-in, and practice – to
Women who have sex with women are a sexual minority often omitted from sexuality education curricula and school-based sexuality education. This study aimed to explore the sexuality education experiences of young women who have sex with women in German-speaking Switzerland. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants (aged 18–25 years) and analysed using qualitative content analy
Civil society organisations play numerous key roles in governing and practically enacting sustainable development. For rural development this importantly includes farmer-based organisations, which among other things can represent and amplify farmers’ voices. In sub-Saharan Africa, small-scale farmers in particular lack organisational vehicles for political influence. This study analyses an attempt
In recent years, intercultural competence (IC) has gained prominence in foreign language (FL) education, reflecting broader societal shifts toward global interconnectedness and the need for culturally responsive pedagogy. This article investigates how FL teachers in Denmark conceptualize, teach, and assess IC within the existing framework of national curricula that emphasize global citizenship and
Background: Countries around the world have committed to universal health coverage (UHC), a global vision that affirms the right for all people to access essential healthcare, when and where they need it and regardless of their ability to pay. UHC, as a political commitment, developed as part of the Sustainable Development Agenda in 2015 and, more recently, at the United Nations High-Level meeting
