Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Bookkeeping and accounting is a prevalent feature of small organizations, which has changed face quite substantially with the advent of personal computers and, later, the Internet. The emergence of digitalized accounting procedures has taken place in a nexus of different types of actors (e.g., software developers, accountancy firms and the businesses themselves), regulatory frameworks (e.g., bookkeeping laws and accounting standards) and technical frameworks (e.g., standards for software interactions with banks and tax authorities). Altogether, this has made the paths taken in this process to be largely national. In general, this process of digitalization is largely undocumented and untheorized in research despite its profound impact on practice. Against this backdrop, this chapter has a descriptive and forward-looking approach, documenting the case of how Swedish bookkeeping practices of small organizations became digitalized, which can work as a reference case for comparisons with other national contexts.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Approaches to determining the factuality of diagnoses and findings in clinical text tend to rely on dictionaries of marker words for uncertainty and negation. Here, a method for semi-automatically expanding a dictionary of marker words using distributional semantics is presented and evaluated. It is shown that ranking candidates for inclusion according to their proximity to cluster centroids of semantically similar seed words is more successful than ranking them according to proximity to each individual seed word.

Conversations about Death and Dying with Older People : An Ethnographic Study in Nursing Homes
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Healthcare. - : MDPI. - 2227-9032. ; 6:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nursing homes are often places where older persons “come to die.” Despite this, death and dying are seldom articulated or talked about. The aim of this study was to explore assistant nurses’ experiences of conversations about death and dying with nursing home residents. This study is part of an implementation project through a knowledge-based educational intervention based on palliative care principles. An ethnographic study design was applied in seven nursing homes, where eight assistant nurses were interviewed and followed in their daily assignments through participant observations. The assistant nurses stated that they had the knowledge and tools to conduct such conversations, even though they lacked the time and felt that emotional strain could be a hinder for conversations about death and dying. The assistant nurses used the strategies of distracting, comforting, and disregarding either when they perceived that residents’ reflections on death and dying were part of their illness and disease or when there was a lack of alignment between the residents’ contemplations and the concept of dying well. They indicated that ambivalence and ambiguity toward conversations about death and dying should be taken into consideration in future implementations of knowledge-based palliative care that take place in nursing homes after this project is finalized.

A Cognitive Analysis of Characters in Swedish and Anglophone Children's Fantasy Literature
- 2018
-
Ingår i: International Research in Children's Literature (IRCL). - : Edinburgh University Press. - 1755-6198 .- 1755-6201. ; 11:1, s. 65-79

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In Justice in Young Adult Speculative Fiction, Marek C. Oziewicz argues, 'it is possible to study scripts through the lens of the author's cognition, through the reader's cognition, or as a textual matter with an implied author and reader' (9-10). Here we propose a fourth method for studying scripts in children's literature: as a textual matter. Unlike previous research in the field, we argue that neither the implied author nor the implied or real reader's cognition is necessary for a cognitive analysis to offer insights about a literary text. A cognitive analysis of characters can demonstrate how each character's cognitive embodiment of their intersectional subject position contributes to the progression of a text's plot and themes. By analysing the mimetic, synthetic and thematic dimensions of character (Phelan), we maintain an ontological distinction between humans and characters - a prerequisite for applying cognitive theories to characters. In order to demonstrate the broad applicability of our approach, we analyse the cognitive scripts of the protagonists in two portal-quest fantasies form two different countries. Taliah Pollack's Saga Sward: Omskakare och varldsresenar [Saga Sword: world shaker and traveller] was published in Sweden in 2012; Tahereh Mafi's Furthermore dates from 2016 and was published in the US.

Magiska möjligheter : Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl och Cirkeln i skolans värdegrundsarbete
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sedan den första Harry Potter-boken publicerades år 1997 har intresset för fantasylitteratur ökat lavinartat. Miljontals barn, ungdomar och vuxna har följt sina mest omtyckta fantasyhjältar och –hjältinnor på deras äventyr in i magiska världar, där verklighetens lagar utmanas, överskrids och ställs på ända. Men vad kan läsare lära sig om sin egen värld via karaktärernas upptäcksresor in i de magiska världarna? Och hur kan fantasylitteratur användas i klassrummet, när verklighetens maktförhållanden diskuteras? Dessa frågor står i centrum för Malin Alkestrands avhandling Magiska möjligheter: Harry Potter, Artemis Fowl och Cirkeln i skolans värdegrundsarbete.Avhandlingen fokuserar på vad tre fantasyserier för barn och ungdomar – J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter-serie (1997–2007), Eoin Colfers Artemis Fowl-serie (2001–2012) samt Mats Strandberg och Sara Bergmark Elfgrens Engelsforstrilogi (2011–2013) – kan lära läsaren om demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och kulturell mångfald. De tre problemkomplexen utgör en del av skolans värdegrund. Alla lärare inom det svenska skolsystemet, oavsett ämnestillhörighet, har i uppdrag att inkorporera värdegrunden i sin undervisning.Med utgångspunkt i bland annat Viktor Sklovskijs främmandegöringsbegrepp, diskursanalys, intersektionell teori och litteraturdidaktiska teorier undersöker Alkestrand hur de fantasylitterära exemplen problematiserar demokrati, mänskliga rättigheter och kulturell mångfald, samt vilka kopplingar det finns till de värden som definieras i skolans värdegrund. På så sätt undersöks vilken didaktisk potential de aktuella fantasyserierna har i skolans värdegrundsarbete. Avhandlingens huvudtes är att fantasylitteratur utgör en utmärkt utgångspunkt för värdegrundsarbetet, eftersom skildringarna av de magiska världarnas maktförhållande fungerar som allegorier över verklighetens motsvarigheter, samtidigt som de skapar en främmandegörande effekt som hjälper läsaren att betrakta maktfrågor utifrån, med en distanserad blick. Det är i denna dialektik mellan närhet och distans som fantasylitteraturens magiska möjligheter konstitueras.

Human Rights from an Islamic Perspective : A Critical Review of Arabic Peer-Reviewed Articles
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Social Sciences. - : MDPI. - 2076-0760. ; 12:2
-
Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The relationship between human rights and Islam is important in countries of the Arab world where religion plays a significant role in public debates and daily life. The topic is particularly relevant at a time of sharpening conflicts and polarization, when forms of government in the region, the current world order, and the legitimacy of international organizations are increasingly contested. Much of the scholarly work published in English on this topic draws on sources available in English. This review, therefore, aims to make a contribution to the field through analysis and discussion of academic papers published in Arabic. A search was made in Google Scholar in April 2022 which yielded 12 publications published in 2020 and 2021, after inclusion and exclusion criteria had been applied. These publications were analyzed drawing on the four framing categories. A summary is also given of the definitions, sources, and premises on which the arguments of the publications draw. The reviewed papers contrast the universal and divine foundation of Islamic human rights with the limitations of modern conceptualizations based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). The latter is described as emanating from Western hegemonistic aspirations and as detached from moral and spiritual values. The papers consequently argue that human rights would be guaranteed globally by generalizing a system of governance based on Shari'a law and the ideal of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. Little attention is given to human rights abuses observed in Muslim societies, diverse interpretations of Islamic source texts, or concrete measures to improve human rights protections in practice. Importantly, the arguments presented in these papers tend to reinforce a contemporary discourse that frames conflicting visions on human rights as a 'clash of civilisations' between 'Islam' and 'the West'.

Ectomycorrhizal community composition and function in a spruce forest transitioning between nitrogen and phosphorus limitation
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Fungal ecology. - : Elsevier. - 1754-5048 .- 1878-0083. ; 40, s. 20-31

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient in boreal ecosystems, but studies in southwest Sweden suggest that certain forests approach phosphorus (P) limitation driven by nitrogen (N) deposition. We added N, P or N + P to a Norway spruce forest in this region, to push the system to N or P limitation. Tree growth and needle nutrient concentrations indicated that the trees are P limited. EMF biomass was reduced only by N + P additions. Soil EMF communities responded more strongly to P than to N. Addition of apatite to ingrowth meshbags altered EMF community composition and enhanced the abundance of Imleria badia in the control and N plots, but not when P was added. The ecological significance of this species is discussed. Effects on tree growth, needle chemistry, and EMF communities indicate a dynamic interaction between EMF fungi and the nutrient status of trees and soils.

How to support teenagers who are losing a parent to cancer : Bereaved young adults' advice to healthcare professionals-A nationwide survey
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Palliative & Supportive Care. - : Cambridge University Press. - 1478-9515 .- 1478-9523. ; 15:3, s. 313-319

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: The loss of a parent to cancer is considered one of the most traumatic events a teenager can experience. Studies have shown that teenagers, from the time of diagnosis, are already extremely worried about the consequences of a parent's cancer but tend to be left to manage these concerns on their own. The present study aimed to explore young adults' advice to healthcare professionals on how to support teenagers who are losing a parent to cancer. Methods: This work derives from a Swedish nationwide survey and employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive/interpretive design to obtain answers to an open-ended question concerning advice to healthcare professionals. Of the 851 eligible young adults who had lost a parent to cancer when they were 13-16 years of age within the previous 6 to 9 years, 622 participated in our survey (response rate = 73%). Of these 622 young adults, 481 responded to the open-ended question about what advice to give healthcare professionals. Results: Four themes emerged: (1) to be seen and acknowledged; (2) to understand and prepare for illness, treatment, and the impending death; (3) to spend time with the ill parent, and (4) to receive support tailored to the individual teenager's needs. Significance of Results: This nationwide study contributes hands-on suggestions to healthcare staff regarding attitudes, communication, and support from the perspective of young adults who, in their teenage years, lost a parent to cancer. Teenagers may feel better supported during a parent's illness if healthcare professionals take this manageable advice forward into practice and see each teenager as individuals; explain the disease, its treatments, and consequences; encourage teenagers to spend time with their ill parent; and recommend sources of support.

Nytt vin i gamla läglar Socialdemokratisk kyrkopolitik under perioden 1944-1973
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the principal elements of SAP (the Swedish Social Democratic Workers Party) church politics in the period 1944 to 1973. The central issues discussed are the relationship of church and state, freedom of religion, and political reforms touching the General Synod, the parish organisation, and the ordination of women. In this study, I suggest that the SAP adopted the idea of a national church, and imbued it with new meaning. This process of transformation can be equated to the biblical analogy of new wine in old bottles, the new wine being the principles of democracy, decanted into old bottles, the existing church system. The course of the SAP:s policies is outlined as three phases: the conflict phase (1944-1951), the formation phase (1951-1956) and the consolidation phase (1958-1972). During the 1950s the tensions diminsihed between the two groups of activists which are identified within the SAP: The ?separatists?, who held that the established church was incompatible with freedom of religion and should be abolished, respectively the ?modifiers?, who wanted to preserve the established church, and believed it to be essential for freedom of religion. The purpose of the 'modifiers'' policies is described as an attempt to effect the integration of the Church of Sweden into the political system. The ?modifiers? reform policy became the guideline for SAP:s church politics. At the congress 1960 the party took on a new course called ?the freedom of religion approach? and the party manifesto gave 'the principles of democracy and religious freedom' precedence in determining the relationship between the Church of Sweden and the state. At the congress 1972, the SAP backed a proposal to disestablish the Church of Sweden. On 21 March 1973, however, the social-democratic government announced that it would not continue with a formal proposal of disestablishment since major bodies within the Church of Sweden had rejected the idea. This study shows that the failed attempt to disestablish the Church of Sweden in 1973 equally proved to be the embodiment of a successful process of integration and adaptation on the part of the Church of Sweden into democratic society. This study also demonstrates that preconceptions derived from a Lutheran confessional approach characterised the social democrats' political and ideological rhetoric. SAP:s church politics rested on a secularised confessional basis, a 'secularised Lutherdom'.
