I Helsingborgs stad genomfördes 2016 till 2017 ett projekt som syftade till att förbättra samverkan mellan skola och HVB-hem för att gynna integrationsarbetet.Integration ska, enligt svensk politik, kännetecknas av invandrares och flyktingars rätt till välfärdstjänster. Personer som kommer som invandrare eller flyktingar har också rätt att bejaka och uttrycka sin egen kulturella identitet och ska

Human-induced climate change is expected to cause major biotic changes in species distributions and thereby including escalation of novel host-parasite associations. Closely related host species that come into secondary contact are especially likely to exchange parasites and pathogens. Both the Enemy Release Hypothesis (where invading hosts escape their original parasites) and the Novel Weapon Hyp

Breast cancer patients with BRCA1/2-driven tumors may benefit from targeted therapy. It is not clear whether current BRCA screening guidelines are effective at identifying these patients. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of inherited BRCA1/2 pathogenic variants in a large, clinically representative breast cancer cohort and to estimate the proportion of BRCA1/2 carriers not d

Under 2015 anlände ett stort antal ensamkommande barn och ungdomar till Sverige. Många kommuner förväntades under kort tid ordna boende och skolgång för dessa. Inom Helsingborgs stad genomfördes under 2016 ett forskningsprojekt vars syfte var att undersöka och förbättra arbetssätt och förvaltningsövergripande samarbete för att främja integrationsarbetet och skapa förutsättningar för nyanlända ungd

In post-industrialist societies, similar high standards of living are becoming not only desired but also expected the world over. Globalising processes ensure that every material desire is within the reach of ordinary citizens, and then flame these desires in order to sustain continuous growth narratives. But are increasingly resource-intensive lifestyles sustainable, or even desirable? This artic

Given difficult conditions in different regions of the world, it is no wonder that people embark on journeys to regions where they may feel secure, seek refuge, be able to acquire a livelihood, as well as carry on a type of living. At the same time, when migrants arrive in a new country that they have hitherto never been to, there is an expectation that they will integrate into the host country’s

This paper explores how family influences the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) process in immigrant family business. To fulfill the purpose, we employ inductive multiple case studies with in-depth interviews. We rely on seven cases of immigrant entrepreneurs of Chinese, Icelandic, Turkish, Cameroonian, Mexican and Lebanese who established firms in Sweden. Our results suggest that EO development tr

This paper conducts an inductive case study to further understand how acculturation process and opportunity creation process influences each other. Our study rests on four cases of immigrant entrepreneurs of Cameroonian, Lebanese, Mexican and Assyrian origin who founded their businesses in Sweden. We highlight how (a) being isolated, (b) ethnicization (c) group-based trust building, (d) adapting t
