Although self-harm is a common behavior and exists in many contexts, previous research on tolerance and attitudes has focused primarily on health care providers. Less is known about tolerance toward self-harm in the general population. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no scale assessing public tolerance toward self-harm. For this purpose, a brief scale was constructed and tested fo
The authors do a comprehensive comparison of the Swedish Information Systems undergraduate programs in order to on the one hand get a better understanding of how the Swedish curriculum compares to the Australian and US counter parts and on the other hand also get an understanding of where the IS field has changed over time. This change is debated to get a clearer view of what courses should be cor
This article examines the possibility for conducting an empirical analysis of a system of industrial relations using Luhmann’s theory on autopoietic systems as a framework of analysis, but aligning that analysis with the aspirations of critical theory. The article provides a methodological contribution and based on the dual understanding of the concept of values as containing both a positivistic a
In 2011, the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) applied for a permit to construct a disposal facility. The Swedish government is expected to make a decision in 2020. Three surveys have been conducted to investigate how informed the Swedish Members of Parliament (MP) and the citizens are in these issues. The first study with the MPs was done in 2013, the second in 2016 and the
Prosodic features, such as intonation and voice intensity, have a well-documented role in communicating emotion, but less is known about the role of laryngeal voice quality in speech and particularly in nonverbal vocalizations such as laughs and moans. Potentially, however, variations in voice quality between tense and breathy may convey rich information about the speaker’s physiological and affec
När beneficieskyddet för bostadsrätter infördes i svensk rätt var lagstiftarens syfte att bostadsrätter som utgångspunkt skulle undantas utmätning. Sedan införandet har värdet på bostadsrätter stigit. Värdestegringen har varit avgörande för rättsutvecklingen och idag skyddas endast en förhållandevis liten andel av svenska bostadsrätter från utmätning genom beneficieregeln i 5 kap. 1 § första styc
By drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldnotes and interviews with lawyers, this sociological study brings their loyalty work to life and reveals to the reader the unwritten rules of emotional interactions. It presents how defence lawyers socially construct their duty of loyalty by negotiating informal and implicit professional and social expectations. This accomplishment demands emotion work and
Hand movement is controlled by a large number of muscles acting on multiple joints in the hand and forearm. In a forearm amputee the control of a hand prosthesis is traditionally depending on electromyography from the remaining forearm muscles. Technical improvements have made it possible to safely and routinely implant electrodes inside the muscles and record high-quality signals from individual
I kapitlet skriver jag om hur artikel 3.1 barnkonventionen används som rättsligt argument inför beslut som tvingar ett barn att flytta från sin bostad. Det finns många typer av beslut som kan innebära att ett barn tvingas flytta från sin bostad. Jag har i detta kapitel valt att skriva om situationer när barn tvingas flytta på grund av att en förälder inte kan betala en skuld. Den vanligaste anledn
