Extended AbstractIn this paper, I examine why the Gallipoli War narrative has become increasingly important in the discourse of the JDP (Justice and Development Party) governments over the last two decades, and how this visible tendency is related to the construction and protection of the neoliberal government in Turkey. I frame the discussion by utilizing Loïc Wacquant’s concept of the “centaur s

Tolerance – respecting individual choice and differences among people – is a prominent feature of modern European culture. That immigrants embrace this kind of liberal value is arguably important for integration, a central policy goal. We provide a rigorous study of what factors in the ancestral countries of second-generation immigrants – including formal and informal institutions – predict their

Emotions can be physical experiences. They may cause an unpleasant pressure on your shoulders, contract the skin over your collarbones, or make your arms or chest burn. They can fill your body with aggression, cause a pleasant warmth in your abdomen, or obstruct your breathing. This paper discusses emotions as physical and material phenomena—as matter— and the possibility to understand them as an

The connection between the everyday and the international has received growing attention in the field of international relations (IR) in recent years. To rethink the international in terms of the everyday, the mundane and the ordinary has brought attention to neglected spaces of the international and turned the everyday into a site of IR analysis. As many of the contributors to this special issue

In this paper, I discuss artworks in which the artists make use of the affect of shame to problematize art fields as “structures-of-feeling” (Williams, 1977), from feminist, queer and anti-racist perspectives. Based on Sara Ahmed’s (2010) suggestion that feelings may be how structures get under our skin I argue that these artworks critically depict the role that emotions play for the compliance to

The book is an investigation into why microchipping, despite its many negative connotations in an international context, is so relatively defused in Sweden. The book’s discussion is built around interviews with 15 chipped Swedes, and the Swedish case is studied from three main themes: Surveillance, Science fiction and Transhumanism.

Rapporten beskriver arbetet med att vidareutveckla och använda ett prognosverktyg för uppföljning och utvärdering av hur jordbrukspolitiken påverkar svenska jordbruksfåglar. Uppdraget gällde att dels utreda möjligheterna till förbättring av analysverktyget och rapporteringen av populationsutvecklingen för Sveriges jordbruksfåglar sammanfattad i Farmland Bird Index (FBI) samt att använda verktyget

Background and AimPostpartum-specific obsessions and compulsions are common in postpartum women, but validated measures to comprehensively assess such symptoms are few. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the psychometric properties of a self-report version of the Parental Thoughts and Behaviors Checklist (PTBC) that assesses postpartum-specific intrusive thoughts, associate

Den ökande urbaniseringen leder till att städer breder ut sig över om-givande landskap, med förlust av jordbruksmark och naturmiljöer som följd. Ambitionen att städer inte skall breda ut sig leder istället till att kvarvarande naturliga, obebyggda och övergivna miljöer inom städer får stryka på foten till förmån för förtätad bebyggelse och infrastruktur. Urbaniseringen går på så sätt ut över biolo

EU har sedan 2013 begränsat användningen av tre neonikotinoider i grödor som är attraktiva för bin. En stor del av den kunskap vi har idag om hur bin påverkas av neonikotinoider kommer från laboratoriestudier av framförallt honungsbin som har matats med växtskyddsmedel. I ett forskningsprojekt har forskare från Lunds universitet och SLU i samarbete med Jordbruksverket undersökt hur ett växtskyddsm

In the remedial phase following an accidental radioactive release, it is important that soil decontamination measures are carried out on the areas that contribute most to the radiation dose. In this study, the newly developed concept of isodose lines was applied to the area around typical Swedish dwellings to identify these areas. The influence of the most common building materials in Sweden, wood

TEMA: BIODIVERSITET I CENTRUMEtt av Sveriges 43 nationella strategiska forskningsområden BECC – Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate – fokuserar på biologisk mångfald och ekosystemtjänster i en värld präglad av klimatförändring. Med ett tvärvetenskapligt angreppssätt arbetar vi med hur svensk markanvändning kan förenas med en långsiktigt hållbar utveckling i ett föränderligt k

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB are both involved in periodontal wound healing. Each of these growth factors exerts a positive proliferative effect on cells of the periodontium in vitro. However, in vivo the peptide bradykinin is one of a complex array of mediators present in addition to these growth factors. The purposes of this investigation were to: 1)

Chemical cross-linking was used to analyze the binding sites for the agonist bradykinin (BK) and the antagonists NPC17731 and HOE140 on the bovine B2 bradykinin receptor. [3H]BK and [3H]NPC17731 bound with high affinity to the same B2 receptor in bovine myometrial membranes as determined by the total number of specific binding sites and pharmacological specificity of the binding of these two radio

Den pågående klimatförändringen påverkar den biologiska mångfalden direkt,men också indirekt via klimatanpassning av skogs- och jordbruk. Det strategiskaforskningsområdet BECC fokuserar på bägge dessa utmaningar, för att bidra tillen kunskapsbas som gör att man kan fatta bra beslut om hur våra landskap skallskötas.
