The Swedish public librarians’ union (SFF) was founded in 1938 and joined the larger DIK union in 1972. SFF’s roots can be traced back to a union of library assistants at Stockholm’s library. From its start, SFF fought for higher wages and improved status for public librarians. SFF’s repertoire for collective confrontations consists of methods inspired by theworkers’ and civil servants’ movements.

This article focuses on citizens’ experiences of enablers of- and barriers to obtaining digital citizenship. E-applications for social assistance are used as an exemplar. In Sweden, as in many countries, there is political pressure on welfare services to become more digitalized, and to offer different kinds of self-service technology such as e-applications. Even if the goals of implementing these

Shared housing is a rather unusual phenomenon in Sweden. However, due to the decreasing availability of affordable housing and a large share of single-person households in urban areas, sharing is on the rise and new forms of shared housing have entered the market. By analysing how shared housing overlaps with existing patterns of socioeconomic segregation and by interviewing developers of diverse

Collaboration across disciplines and stakeholders is important in handling complex societal problems. Even if collaborating is acknowledged as contributing towards societal change and innovation, collaborators’ emotional experiences during development, consolidation and completion of a given project are underexplored. This article discusses emotional labour in three cross-sectoral collaborations u

In this report, we analyse attrition at the two most recent data collection points of the longitudinal Swedish project “Deliberate self-harm, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relations in youth”, that collected survey data from the same cohort in 2007 (T1), 2008 (T2), 2017 (T3), and 2023 (T4). We compared T4 responders and non-responders using variables assessed at T1−T3, and T3 responders an

The ATLAS trigger system is a crucial component of the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. It is responsible for selecting events in line with the ATLAS physics programme. This paper presents an overview of the changes to the trigger and data acquisition system during the second long shutdown of the LHC, and shows the performance of the trigger system and its components in the proton-proton collisions du

Exhibition of video works by iconic American artist, Jack Pierson curated by Alejandro Cesarco at Galería Elba Benítez, Madrid (Spain)/08/ presents three refreshing videos by iconic American artist Jack Pierson, recorded in Hollywood, Florida, in 1997. Like the rest of his work, these three videos are driven by desire and that desire—mediated, just out of reach — is inextricably linked to differen

Soloexhibition in Berlin.A conditional sentence is formed by a main clause (the consequence), a conjunction (if), and a conditional clause (the condition). There are four standard types of conditionals. Cesarco’s exhibition proceeds from the given to the not given, comparing what is with what could be or might have been. In some ways, this is equivalent to what happens in the studio, or what happe

Introduction: Obesity continues to be a growing problem and places a significant burden on the healthcare system by increasing the risk of developing various diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D). T2D, in turn, increases the risk of developing other diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), neuropathy, and nephropathy. Furthermore, obesity and T2D are closely linked to liver diseases, p

Chosen Memories brings together contemporary works by Latin American artists who have been investigating history as source material for their work.

Subtitled / Subtitulado is an open-ended reflection on the figure of the artist and is anchored around two central works: Midcareer, a new video work that addresses the advantages and difficulties of midcareerness, and The Style it Takes (Excerpts), an older (and upended) photographic work, which explores the social function of art and the shifting roles of the artist persona. Style, that which is

Importance: Repeat expansion of CGG in LRP12 has been identified as the causative variation of oculopharyngodistal myopathy (OPDM). However, to our knowledge, the clinicopathologic features of OPDM with CGG repeat expansion in LRP12 (hereafter referred to as OPDM_LRP12) remain unknown. Objective: To identify and characterize the clinicopathologic features of patients with OPDM_LRP12. Design, Setti

Background The World Health Organisation (WHO) 2013 diagnostic criteria for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been criticised due to the limited evidence of benefits on pregnancy outcomes in different populations when switching from previously higher glycemic thresholds to the lower WHO-2013 diagnostic criteria. The aim of this study was to determine whether the switch from previous Swedish

The rise of water-based electromagnetic devices opens up new possibilities for controlling electromagnetic performance due to the liquid state of crucial parts of the device. This letter proposes the siphon mechanism as a novel way to achieve reconfigurability in these types of electromagnetic devices. To demonstrate this, a simple polarization-reconfigurable device based on a siphon is introduced
