I denna uppsats ser vi vad som händer när en statlig myndighet som ansvarar för utformning av offentlig miljö implementerar en så kallad liberal demokratiteori. Statens konstråd, som är en myndighet med stor inverkan på den offentliga konsten i Sverige, inledde 2012 ett nytt arbetssätt att föra ut konceptuell och samtida konst från institutioner och gallerier till det offentliga rummet. Deras syn

Inadequate water infrastructural development and high costs of water are few of the many challenges that affect water access in Kibera. Consequently, many alternatives to piped water grew out of necessity to meet the needs of residents. The aim of this thesis is to examine the conditions that have led to poor water provision in Kibera and how transitions to improved water access can be achieved by

Purpose: To investigate the effect of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) according to diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, substance use disorders, or forensic psychiatric conditions. Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in June 2017 and repeated in December 2020. The systematic review included 13 studies. Analyses of pooled original data were

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with their 169 targets and 231 indicators epitomise the trend of global governance by numbers. This article suggests the notion of a global “indicator reporting trajectory” that is shaped by three main elements: the politics of indicators, a reporting infrastructure and indicator advocacy. I propose that indicator reporting trajectories may result either in

In 1524, Petrus Apianus published two closely related works—one the Latin Cosmographicus liber, aimed at an educated audience of international readers, and the other, Ein kunstlich Instrument, a shorter, more practical book for those who could read German but had no Latin. Both books nevertheless make use of most of the same instruments, including Apianus’ early volvelles. Most of these instrument

Background: Studies show that early, integrated palliative care (PC) improves quality of life (QoL) and end-of-life (EoL) care for patients with poor-prognosis cancers. However, the optimal strategy for delivering PC for those with advanced cancers who have longer disease trajectories, such as metastatic breast cancer (MBC), remains unknown. We tested the effect of a PC intervention on the documen

This article explores the processes that led to the inclusion of psychedelics under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, a cornerstone of international drug control. Drawing on archival records, we analyze the narratives and dynamics that shaped this decision. Despite limited scientific evidence of public health dangers, concerns about psychedelics were amplified by sensationalized mediThis article explores the processes that led to the inclusion of psychedelics under the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, a cornerstone of international drug control.

Current debates have questioned SAMS capacity to meet contemporary needs, revolving around themes such as broadening of target groups,

Miljömålsberedningens (MMB) betänkande kommer vid en viktig tid, när tiden blir alltmer knapp för att sträva efter beslutade nationella och internationella mål om klimat och biologisk mångfald. De närmaste åren är på många sätt kritiska för att dels begränsa klimatpåverkan, dels värna om natur och biologisk mångfald i linje med vetenskapen och beslutade ambitionsnivåer. Det är mycket viktigt med å
