When the coronavirus spread globally in early 2020, many governments issued national lock downs of schools, institutions, and businesses. As the epidemic turned into a pandemic, the health crisis also became a societal crisis, and many universities and research foundations issued COVID-19 grants to study the societal implications of the crisis. In this article, we discuss sociological research dur
The article investigates the reception of Carl Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures) in Swedish schools, from the 1890s until today, in the light of the concept of cultural memory.

This chapter deals with the Swedish regulation of prenatal diagnosis and the various arguments posed for or against such regulation, including whether there should be any changes in the legislation of late-term abortions. Using the metaphor ‘moral landscape,’ it explores how actors such as physicians, disability organizations, and women’s organizations negotiated their position on an issue that waThis chapter deals with the Swedish regulation of prenatal diagnosis and the various arguments posed for or against such regulation, including whether there should be any changes in the legislation of late-term abortions.

This thesis investigates the evolving political attitudes and behaviours toward democracy among young Kenyans, examining whether they are becoming increasingly apathetic toward democracy or are evolving innovative democratic behaviours.

The newly discovered site of Norje Sunnansund, located in south-eastern Sweden, presents great potential for analysing the origin of technological change in postglacial Europe based on transmission patterns through the technological analysis of Mesolithic material production and how manufacturing techniques and implements were distributed chronologically and geographically. The study shows that ma
Contemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities.

Gender equality (GE) is one of Sweden’s three thematic prioritizations in foreign aid and have so been since 2007. Gender equality is emphasized as important for development and as a question in which Sweden has added value in promoting. The thesis examines what type of gender equality Sweden promotes in development cooperation with nine African countries and how it has changed in the country and
The galloping pace of development in the field of wireless communication has left the world astounded over the last decade. But this has also led to a wild and inexcusable extravagant expenditure of energy. Due to the dynamic nature of wireless network, it has become imperative to focus more on energy efficiency and achieve desired Quality of Service (QoS). The challenge of diminishing the carbon
Reaching consensus about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has never been easy on the international arena. The United Nations Population Fund and several women rights movements across the world are the leading actors in promoting SRHR. At the same time as progress for world with a universal implementation is being made, oppositional forces against SRHR are on the rise. The focus of
Social capital can be a vital resource for entrepreneurs but so far research has not addressed how it is accessed through online communication channels. This paper presents a new way of sourcing network information about Swedish entrepreneurs and consequently explores whether rural entrepreneurs utilize online social capital as much as entrepreneurs from urban or metropolitan areas do.

One of the characteristic features of Indian society is its complex caste system which ranks people into hereditary groups. Most importantly, the foundation of caste association was based on the occupation of each group. And the lowest group within this system have historically been excluded and exploited due to their assigned caste-based occupations. Despite implementing affirmative action polici
This study utilises Correspondence Analysis to investigate the subsistence strategies of Scandinavia's Middle Neolithic Culture of the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC). The aim is to understand subsistence strategies' regional and local expressions across larger geographic areas. The studied material is derived from PWC settlements in Gotland, Åland, Central-Eastern Sweden, and South Scandinavia.
This study investigates how early exposure to maternal mental distress shapes offspring’s long‐ term socioeconomic pathways by leveraging the 1970 British Cohort Study. Maternal distress was measured when the cohort members were aged 5, 10, and 16 years via the 24-item Malaise Inventory. Structural Equation Modeling is employed to estimate (1) the direct effect of maternal malaise on offspring’s a
Freight transportation security concerns both public and private actors, however, their interests are often misaligned resulting in conflicting pressure and trade-offs. To understand this, a connection of macro and micro perspectives is required, which is enabled by an institutional lens.
