What should count as legitimate forms of reasoning in public deliberation is a contested issue. Democratic theorists have argued that storytelling may offer a more accessible form of deliberation for marginalised citizens than ‘rational argumentation’. We investigate the empirical support for this claim by examining Swedish citizens’ use of storytelling in written communication with the political
National policies emphasize older people's right to autonomy, yet nursing home residents often have restricted opportunities to make decisions about everyday matters. We use qualitative interview data to analyze staff members' explanations of actions that conflict with both social norms and national policies. Two types of problematic actions are discussed: restrictions of elderly residents' influe
Det är i brottmålsprocesser ovanligt att den anklagades ålder är oklar. Men när den är det så ställs stora krav på tillräckligt precisa metoder eftersom det spelar stor roll vad den anklagade bedöms ha för ålder. De svenska påföljdsbestämmelserna särbehandlar nämligen unga lagöverträdare på olika sätt beroende på ålder. Socialstyrelsen har tagit ställning till frågan huruvida tandmognadsbedömningIn criminal proceedings it is unusual that the age of the accused is unclear. But when it is, it is of utmost importance that the methods used to determine the age are sufficiently precise because the expected age of the accised is of paramount importance. The Swedish penalties provisions specifically deal with juvenile offenders in different ways depending on age. Socialstyrelsen has considered t

Arsenic (As) is one of the most important dangerous elements as more than 100 million of people are exposed to risk, globally. The permissible threshold of As for drinking water is 10 μg/L according to both the WHO’s drinking water guidelines and the Iranian national standard. However, several studies have indicated that As concentrations exceed this threshold value in several regions of Iran. Thi

How do museums reflect a pluralistic society? Since a few decades back in time, diversity is an established concept in Swedish cultural policy. One assumption is that museums could be places that reflect the diversity of cultural expressions in society and also counteract xenophobia and distances between people. Previous strategies to include diversity in museums have been marked by documentation
In this article we discuss how two types of popular romances – the desert romance and the governess romance – have blended into what we refer to as the desert-governess romance. In the world of romance, the governess and the sheikh may be an odd couple but they do make good bedfellows. Etymologically speaking, the governess (“A woman who holds or exercises authority” (OED)) is the perfect love mat
This paper examines how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected Swedish corporate investments and if it differs from previous economic crises. By using data on total investments and investments made in digitalization and IT of Swedish businesses between 1986 and 2022, two time series regressions examine the impact of crises on investments. The results give support for both hypotheses implying that the
Migration is an important event in many animal life histories, but the degree to which individual animals participate in seasonal migrations often varies within populations. The powerful ecological and evolutionary consequences of such partial migration are now well documented, but the underlying mechanisms are still heavily debated. One potential mechanism of partial migration is between-individu
This diploma work is made for the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lunds University and for the HVAC consultant company Helenius ingenjörsbyrå. The objectives were to find ways of determining what size of ventilation systems that are required for biological research and ways of lowering energy consumption focused on ventilation in laboratories, without lowering the safety for workers and environme
Perceptual centers (p-centers) can be defined as the perceived centers of a syllable. Previous research regarding the location of p-centers in speech relied on experimental methods, and among the suggested acoustic features contributing to the location of p-centers in Germanic languages is the transition of the consonant to the vowel onset. The current study investigates the prediction of the loca
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) was diagnosed in a 19-year-old man in 1961, and the disease remained in chronic phase, with occasional exacerbations, for 27 years. In 1976, when the first cytogenetic analysis was performed, t(9;22)(q34;q11) was found as the sole abnormality in all mitoses. During accelerated phase in 1988, a second cytogenetic investigation showed the karyotype 45,XY,t(9;22)(q34;q1
The Iberian lynx was once recognized as the world’s most threatened felid, but due to the implementation of a conservation programme and the creation of captive breeding centres, its numbers have considerably increased. With the annual production of new individuals in these reproduction centres, as well as the inevitable aging of past breeders, a different problem emerged: the hoarding of non-repr
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a significant human pathogen that has developed multipleimmune evasion mechanisms to counter the host immune response. One of these mechanisms involvesthe production of the M protein, which, amongst other things, acts as an anti-phagocytic factor and canbind host proteins. Another is the ability of M protein to bind a human protein called fibronectin (Fn). Thisprotei
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how degrowth is represented in Swedish media. It uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to analyse the empirical material, consisting of 31 articles from four different newspapers in Sweden. The theoretical framework is called nomadic utopianism, a utopianism which is based on the concept of radical imminence, i.e to do things in the present without having
Holism is a term charged with multiple meanings. Coined by statesman and botanistJan Smuts in 1926, it was mainly used in academia until its public breakthrougharound 1980. This article examines the interdisciplinary circulation of holism in science during its first sixty years of existence, focusing on ecology, psychology, medicine, social science, pedagogy, and philosophy. While primarily an e
Large-scale software development generates an ever-growing amount of information. Multiple research groups have proposed using approaches from the domain of information retrieval (IR) to recover traceability. Several enhancement strategies have been initially explored using the laboratory model of IR evaluation for performance assessment. We conducted a pilot experiment using printed candidate lis
