Boys will be boys : Seen and unforeseen methodological issues in the study of male childhood narratives

Lately the notion of boyhood and masculinity have been elevated into public discourse worldwide. Issues of how boys "become men" have been subject to documentary projects (The mask you Live in, 2015) and journalistic scrutiny. Through issues like "gamer gate" and "Wheaton's law", and the #meetoo twitter uprising the issue of "boys become men", have gained an acute relevance in the public eye. At t

Diving in : Affect, fieldwork and self-reflexivity

Paper på SIEFs 13:e kongress Ways of Dwelling: Crisis - Craft – Creativity, International Society for Ethnology and Folklore (SIEF), Georg-August Universität, Göttingen 26-30 mars 2017The notion of 'affect' have long been a key concept in the study of fandom, and the term has been used to explicate fandom "affective investments" (Grossberg 1992), "affective play" (Hills 2001) and "affective space" (Lamerichs 2014). The turn, in recent years, to ethnographic study within fandom-studies has led to increasing discussion on researcher/field issues; specifically on self-reflexivity

Life and afterlife in the Nordic Bronze Age : Proceedings of the 15th Nordic Bronze Age Symposium held in Lund, Sweden, June 11-15, 2019

Life and afterlife i the Nordic Bronze Age contains some of the papers presented at the 15th Nordic Bronze Age Symposium, June 2019. Over these five days approximately 100 researchers of the Bronze Age gathered to present papers and discuss traditional research questions as well as current topics that have been brought about by the breakthrough of the third scientific revolution of archaeology oveLife and afterlife in the Nordic Bronze Age contains some of the papers presented at the 15th Nordic Bronze Age Symposium, June 2019.

Implementation of Service Routes in the United States.

The passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)signified a new era of mobility for elderly and disabled passengers.There have been many debates about fixed-route versus door-todoordemand-responsive services. While the United States hasbeen discussing the issue, Sweden has been experimenting since1983 with a concept called service routes. Madison Metro (inWiscon_sin) is very close

Gender-based violence (GBV) against women with precarious legal status and their access to social protection in advanced welfare societies: an analytical contribution to reconstruct the research field and its institutional development

The aim of this paper is to map the emergence and development of a research field around the topic of “gender-based violence (GBV) against women with precarious legal status and their access to social protection in advanced welfare societies”. We explore the academic knowledge production around this topic as a specific research field by using bibliometric data. We investigate the place occupied by

Advancing innovation in manufacturing firms : knowledge base combinations in a local productive system

Industry 4.0 requires that manufacturing firms not only innovate but also generate more radical and different varieties of innovation, often incorporating new types of knowledge. To advance such types of innovation, several studies in Innovation and Economic Geography foreground that firms need to combine knowledge in novel ways. The contribution of this paper is to investigate in-depth how manufa

Varieties of periphery and local agency in regional development

The extent to which structures and preconditions stimulate or hinder regional development is of interest in economic geography, as is the renewal of ‘left-behind’ peripheral regions. However, few studies have addressed how and to what extent peripheral regions differ. To disentangle the notion of peripheral regions as homogeneous and lacking knowledge sources, capital and networks, the paper discu

Smart Specialization as an Innovation-Driven Strategy for Economic Diversification : Examples From Scandinavian Regions

This chapter provides conceptual and empirical foundations for smart specialization, a policy approach of far-reaching importance in the European context. We interpret the very notion as “diversified” specialization into areas of existing or potential competitive advantage, which differentiates a region/nation from others. “Smart” relates to the identification of these areas through a process of e

Outpatient Use of Antimicrobials in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Before and After Treatment With Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors : A Nationwide Retrospective Cohort Study

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor (TNFi) initiation on the use of antimicrobials among biologic-naïve patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Information on all biologic-naïve patients with RA was extracted from ICEBIO, a nationwide registry. Each patient was matched on age, sex, and calendar time to five randomly se

Pollinators, pests and yield—Multiple trade-offs from insecticide use in a mass-flowering crop

Multiple trade-offs likely occur between pesticide use, pollinators and yield (via crop flowers) in pollinator-dependent, mass-flowering crops (MFCs), causing potential conflict between conservation and agronomic goals. To date, no studies have looked at both outcomes within the same system, meaning win-win solutions for pollinators and yield can only be inferred. Here, we outline a new framework

Distal radius fractures and risk of incident neurocognitive disorders in older adults : a retrospective cohort study

Introduction: Distal radius fractures (DRF) are associated with increased risk of subsequent fractures and physical decline in older adults. This study aims to evaluate the risk cognitive decline following DRF and potential for timely screening and intervention. Methods: A cohort of 1046 individuals 50–75 years of age with DRF were identified between 1995 and 2015 (81.5% female; mean age 62.5 [± 7

A Scatterer Localization Method Using Large-Scale Antenna Array Systems

As ultra-massive multiple-input multiple-output (UM-MIMO) has emerged as a key technology for millimeter-wave and terahertz communications, the spherical wave propagation should be considered for channel modeling. Therefore, it is critical to identify the locations and evolving behaviors of scatterers, i.e., the sources of the spherical wavefronts. In this contribution, a novel space-alternating g

A Non-Stationary 6G V2V Channel Model with Continuously Arbitrary Trajectory

In this paper, a novel three-dimensional (3D) massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) millimeter wave (mmWave) geometry-based stochastic model (GBSM) is proposed for sixth-generation (6G) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels. In the proposed GBSM, clusters in the environment are divided into static clusters and dynamic clusters. Furthermore, the time-variant acceleration together with the integ
