Introduction : Grief. Sonic Expressions. of Loss, Pain, and Sadness.

This special issue has invited scholars to reflect upon the theme of »grief« in the format of an audio paper. This format, we thought, would offer authors a possibility to present their research in sound, in a way that gives the theme of grief the opportunity to be heard firsthand, not only described in text. We, the editors, must admit that we prepared ourselves before listening to the audio manu

De mänskliga relationernas koreografi. : Den existentiella ohälsans gestaltning

Aaron Antonovskys kända begrepp som på svenska fått akronymen KASAM (på engelska sense of coherence, SOC) står för en modell som mäter känsla avsammanhang (Metodguiden, Socialstyrelsen, 2022; Antonovsky, 1993; Westerlund & Schumann, 2019). Antonovskys forskning har utmynnat i ett skattningsformulär som mäter grad av känsla av sammanhang och som är utformat efter de variabler i en människas liv

Ethnology, Part II : In Close Contact with Thoughts and Things

In this second part of a two-part series on the role of ethnology as a humanistic discipline, we look closely at ethnological methods. We saw in part one how a nineteenth-century pregnant farmer’s wife in a Swedish parish placed an axe under her marital bed, hoping to influence the sex of her child. Studying objects such as Hulda’s axe (and today’s ultrasound machines) is one of several qualitativ

Death and Turmoil in the R&D team

We use a novel method to define the R&D team and use the unexpected death of an R&D worker to study its effect on the organization of R&D teams in profit-making firms. Average treatment effects on exit probability, entry probability, wages of stayers, and characteristics of leavers are null. Hires are slightly younger in treatment than control. Treatment effects do not vary by the size

Drifting on the Academic Highway: Experimental Evidence from a Transition to University

We examine the effects of the 1999 transition to full university of three former Swedish university colleges: Karlstad, Örebro, and Växjö on scientific output. This change was accompanied by a substantial increase in research funding. Scrutiny of the process reveals that the transition was far from obvious, allowing us to analyze the impact of increased research resources in a quasi-experimental s

A systematic review of health-related quality of life in children and adolescents during treatment for cancer

Health-related quality of life (HRQL) is a multidimensional concept which captures the individual’s perception of treatment burden. Evaluating HRQL during treatment for childhood cancer provides insight into the burden of the treatment from the child’s and/or parent’s perspective.In this review, we aimed to describe Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used to measure HRQL during treatment, d

Moving in together in later life : Making spaces into places as a joint endeavor

Background and objectives: We focus on the linkages between relocation, new forms of partner cohabitation, and retirement. What are the patterns and trajectories of moving in with a partner in retirement? How do older adults experience different transitions, place attachment, and placemaking when they move in with a partner? Research design and methods: In this qualitative study, 50 persons betwee

Refugee Labour Mobility to the EU: A Tool Contributing to Fairer Sharing of Responsibilities in the Context of Forced Displacement?

The idea of facilitating labour mobility for refugees as a pathway for admission is back on the policy agenda. Such complementary pathways are promoted in the Global Compact for Refugees as means to facilitate access to protection and solutions in addition to resettlement, and praised by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as directly contributing to easing pressure on host countries by

Condemnatory Disappointment

When blame is understood to be emotion-based or affective, its emotional tone is standardly identified as one of anger. We argue that this conception of affective blame is overly restrictive. By attending to cases of blame that emerge against a background of a particular kind of hope invested in others, we identify a blaming response characterized not by anger but by sadness: reactive disappointme

Communicating Praise

This chapter introduces readers to the view that praise is a form of address, or is communicative in the sense of seeking uptake from its target. The proposal that praise is communicative will seem counterintuitive if we take blame to be our paradigm of what it is for a responsibility-response to be communicative. This is because blame is communicative in a manner that intuitively presupposes some

Alkali metal release in thermochemical conversion of biomass and coal : Optical measurements and modeling

Alkali metals, mainly K and Na, which are present in solid fuels such as biomass and coal, play an important role during their thermal conversion, e.g., in combustion or gasification. At high temperatures, alkali elements will be released in gas phase as alkali atoms, alkali chlorides, alkali hydroxides and alkali sulphates. In biomass/coal-fired boilers, the release of these alkali species can ca

Scalable Actor Networks with CAL

Dataflow is a Model of Computation (MoC) that describes applications as networks of actors. The CAL Actor Language (CAL) is one of the programming languages for describing such actors. A downside to CAL is that the actors and their networks are rigidly defined - it is not possible to have a parametric number of ports or actions in an actor. This makes it difficult to define flexible applications o

Familial risk of vasospastic angina : a nationwide family study in Sweden

OBJECTIVES: Vasospastic angina (VSA) is a complex coronary vasomotor disorder associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and sudden death. Despite considerable advances in understanding VSA pathophysiology, the interplay between genetic and environmental factors remains elusive. Accordingly, we aimed to determine the familial VSA risk among first-degree relatives of affected indivi

Non-heme FeIV=O complexes supported by four new pentadentate ligands : reactivity towards H- and O-atom transfer processes

Four new pentadentate N5-donor ligands, [N-(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)-methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)-amine] (L1), [N-bis(1-methyl-2-imidazolyl)methyl-N-(bis-2-pyridylmethyl)amine] (L2), (N-(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl)-1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)methanamine (L3) and N,N-bis(isoquinolin-3-ylmethyl)-1,1-di(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine (L4), have been synthesized based on the
