Housing Policies to Promote the Health of a Population Ageing in Place: Comparisons Using Simulation Modelling

Background: The Swedish housing stock generally maintains a high standard. However, earlier policies prioritized quantity and rapid housing production targeting a younger population, over policies that require accessible housing design. With an aging population, evidence-based policies supporting ageing in place while managing societal costs are crucial. This thesis aimed to increase the knowledge

Soot and charcoal as reservoirs of extracellular DNA

The vast potential of using sediment adsorbed DNA as a window to past and present biodiversity rely on the ability of solid surfaces to adsorb environmental DNA. However, a comprehensive insight into DNA adsorption at surfaces in general is lacking. Soot and charcoal are carbonaceous materials widespread in the environment where they read-ily can come in contact with extracellular DNA shed from or

The Role of Consumer Speech Acts in Brand Activism : A Transformative Advertising Perspective

Transformative advertising research (TAR) suggests examining advertising’s transformational possibilities via the interactions between institutional actors at each marketing level to gauge its effect on society. We employ rhetorical institutionalism as a lens to examine the online speech acts of consumers as they respond to a brand activism campaign focusing on an environmental problem. Our data t

Emigration and the Transnationalization of Sending States’ Welfare Regimes

How does emigration affect sending states’ welfare policies? Existing migration literature has identified numerous political, economic, and institutional variables that influence sending states’ approaches towards emigrants’ welfare. However, this literature has neglected broader processes of social transformation in sending states. Using the concept of welfare regime transnationalization, we show

Non-resident Citizen Voting and Transnational Mobilisation of Political Parties : The Case of Turkey

This chapter explores the ways and channels through which Turkey-based political parties respond to non-resident citizens through external voting. It firstly provides a brief history of the legislation regulating external voting rights in Turkey. It then examines the representation of non-resident votes in the Turkish electoral system and in the Turkish Parliament. The chapter discusses Turkey-bas

When migrants become ‘the people’ : unpacking homeland populism

The emerging debate on transnational populism has thus far mainly focused on cases, which have remained relatively inconsequential due to the weak institutionalisation of the political transnationalism arena. By bringing in a better-structured arena of migrant transnationalism, this paper introduces populist political parties mobilising transnational migrants to the debate and explores the resulti

Feedback Systems : An Introduction for Scientists and Engineers, Second Edition

This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Ka

Evolution of intentional teaching

Only among humans is teaching intentional, socially structured, and symbolically mediated. In this chapter, evidence regarding the evolution of the mindreading and communicative capacities underlying intentional teaching is reviewed. Play, rehearsal, and apprenticeship are discussed as central to the analyses of teaching. We present a series of levels of teaching. First of all, we separate non-int

From 'big' to 'much' : On the grammaticalization of two gradable adjectives in Swedish

In this paper, I give a short description of a language change that can be viewed as an instance of grammaticalization, namely the transition of the two adjectives mycken/t and liten/t into quantifiers. Data from the corpus of Swedish drama dialogue reveal that liten/t became a quantifier as early as the 1700s, whereas mycken/t seems to have gone through the same change roughly 150 years later. In

Transnational citizenship : political practices of Kurdish migrants’ descendants in France and Germany

Over the last decades, scholars have increasingly called for the ‘deterritorialization’ of the notion of citizenship. The realities concerning citizenship have changed with new expressions of transnationalism. However, whereas the main body of research has focused on the transnational aspects of citizenship among migrants in the form of their transnational political practices and dual nationalitie
