This paper addresses the question of whether the rise to power of right-wing populist parties has an impact on the political opportunity structures (POS) available for incumbent civil society organizations (CSOs). The elements of POS that are exposed to changes by the right-wing populist parties in power are those that are embedded in governance structures. In this paper we will focus in particula
This paper explores the way in which the relationship between civil society and the state in times of populist governance can be understood from the point of view of Hartmut Rosa’s theory of resonance. We apply Hartmut Rosa’s (2019) theory about a resonant society to understand how the populist turn in politics and state-civil society relations is related to broader societal processes such as acce
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of childhood overweight and obesity has increased substantially in recent decades. Physical activity is a key component in improving metabolic and overall health in children with obesity. The Swedish Physical Activity on Prescription (PAP) is an established method for promoting physical activity, yet knowledge regarding its applicability and acceptability in paediatric
BACKGROUND: Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy as an augmentation strategy in unipolar and bipolar depression. However, dopaminergic treatments are associated with impulse control disorders, including gambling disorder, and evidence regarding behavioural risks in psychiatric populations remains limited.METHODS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort
Standardized Care Pathway (SCP) for patients presenting with macroscopic haematuria was introduced in Sweden in 2015. In contrast to neighbouring countries, the Swedish model includes all patients with macroscopic haematuria above the age of 50, notwithstanding obvious causes. The aim of this study was to characterize the patients referred within the SCP and the presence of acute cystitis.All pati
This paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries. I find that switching to tacit consent-based legislation reduces fertility by about 4% relative to the mean. This effect is driven by a decrease in couple formation and an increase in abortion rates. Supporting evidence is consistent with a behavioralThis paper examines how expanding the legal definition of sexual assault affects fertility and sexual behavior, using a panel of European countries.

This open access book asks whether international economic crime can qualify as an international crime and be prosecuted as such.Taking a four-part approach to the question, it traces the origins of the concept of international economic crime, and draws the line between ordinary economic crimes and economic offences of international significance. To this end, it examines six cases involving the com
Arbetsgivare är skyldiga att undersöka risker för diskriminering och hinder för lika rättigheter och därefter vidta aktiva förebyggande åtgärder. Samtidigt är hbtq-personer ofta utsatta för diskriminering på sina arbetsplatser. I den här artikeln syntetiseras resultat från forskningsprojektet “[anonymiserat]” i en analys som tar avstamp i diskrimineringslagens krav. Resultaten visar att hbtq-perso
This article presents a critical edition and analysis of a short 16th-century medical treatise entitled Fī bayān aḥwāl al-qaḥwa wa-ḫāṣṣiyyatihā wa-manāfiʿihā, attributed to the Ottoman court physician Muḥammad Badr al-Dīn al-Qūṣūnī. The base manuscript, preserved in Leiden University Libraries as Or. 945:16 (fol. 58r), is collated against two later versions: Ragıb Paşa, K. No. 1482, ff. 56 r–56 v,

Previous research has reported mental health disparities between adolescents who truant from school and those who attend school regularly. However, it remains unclear how social support is associated with mental health outcomes across levels of truancy. We investigate whether social support has similar mental health benefits for all adolescents who truant from school or whether it plays a bufferin
The History of Education as History of Knowledge brings together international scholars to explore how the emerging field of the history of knowledge can enrich the well-established history of education. While recent research in the history of knowledge has examined actors, practices, and institutions of knowledge, this volume is the first to focus systematically on sources and methodologies withi
Inland surface waters are vital for the global carbon, energy, and water cycles; however, they are affected by climate change and human activities. Continuous monitoring of Water Surface Elevation (WSE) is essential for assessing water quantity and ensuring sustainable management. Traditional in-situ WSE measurements often face high costs and accessibility challenges. This study examines the use o
This paper investigates how voluntary sustainability commitments shape lenders’ integration of biodiversity risks into credit allocation, comparing UNEP FI–committed and non-committed lenders. Using global syndicated loan data (2018–2023) matched with firm-level measures of biodiversity impact and dependency, we find that all lenders extend smaller loans to more biodiversity-dependent firms. consi
This paper examines whether biodiversity and climate risks are reflected in equity returns and how investor attention affects the pricing dynamics. Using firm-level indicators of biodiversity impact, dependency, and climate transition and physical risks, we form long-short portfolios based on firms’ environmental exposure. We find that low-risk firms earn higher abnormal returns than high-risk fir
Using a unique dataset that defines sustainability initiatives as concrete firm-level sustainability actions, this study examines firms’ biodiversity-related initiatives, their links to underlying biodiversity risks, and whether financial markets value them. We find that biodiversity-related initiatives are concentrated in community engagement activities, such as marketing campaigns and donations.
