During the Romantic period, translation played a key role in the mediation of reform ideas from Britain to the Nordic countries, and many translators of texts aiming at social reform wished to instigate change in their home countries. This article focuses on how Henry Brougham’s programme for popular education, as presented in Practical Observations upon the Education of the People (1825), was mad

Abstract in Undetermined general method for determining stress concentration factors for laminated glass balustrades with two plus two bolt fixings with variable positions is developed. It is demonstrated how the stress concentration factors can be presented graphically in design charts and representative charts are displayed for the case of a more specific bolt-fixed balustrade type. In general,

Development and optimization of the production of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their attendant 'natural' inhibitors as biopreservatives to control undesirable bacteria currently remains a primary focus of several laboratories involved in research concerning food safety and quality. Strategies utilized to study incorporation of biopreservatives into food include either direct use of LAB-strains o

Despite articulations of the Dublin Statement which stress the need to include women in decision-making on water, women are significantly under-represented in transboundary water governance. This thesis examines the Women in Water Diplomacy in the Nile-network by asking how the network constructs a feminist discourse on transboundary water governance in the Nile basin. Rooted in the theoretical fr

In this paper, I discuss resistance against antisemitism in relation to the overall antiracist struggle. Inspired by postcolonial theory and critical race studies, and by locating notions of “Swedishness” at the core of the analysis, I show that antisemitism can be understood as a form of structural racism entangled with other racisms.

This paper presents an overview of the literature on universal design for equitable healthcare. The central inquiry in the current paper is a critical design-for-all challenge: how might universal design contribute to providing equitable healthcare for women suffering from pelvic floor injuries during birth? This study delves into some of the explicit and implicit needs of this deprioritized minor

Stable isotope analysis of plant remains recovered from archaeological sites is becoming more routine. There remains a lack of consensus, however, on how to appropriately select archaeological plant remains for isotopic analysis, how to account for differences in preservation and the effect of potential contamination, and how to interpret the measured isotope values in terms of the conditions in w

Grandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This ‘new army of proxy parents’ calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care.

In the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research. Legal practice, however, still maintains that ‘rational, objective’ law is devoid of emotion. This raises the question of how to incorporate the divide itself in a theoretical understanding of the role of emotions in legal practice. The legal system is congenial with other modern bureaucratic i

Until rather recently, safety from a traffic perspective has almost exclusively been described by accident statistic which in itself does not reveal the true safety issues. For this reason the use of traffic safety indicators has become more frequently used as a complement to describe the traffic safety situation. This thesis treats the behavioral differences of Norwegian and Danish cyclists from

Subjects related under this topic for instance are usually about the excessive risk taken by the government, and moral hazard. In this paper, we perform an analysis to examine the existence of too-big-to-fail impact on the banking sector in Switzerland during t

The idea of “the sustainable city” usually contains a city that is green, densely built, have a variety of housing, a developed public transport system and good conditions for walking and cycling. During recent years, more and more critics argue that the way we plan for parking in cities
