A World Order in Transformation? : A Comparative Study of Consequences of the War and Reactions to These Changes in the Region
- 2024
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Russia's full-scale invasion and war of aggression against Ukraine has, in addition to all the destruction, grief and terror for the people concerned, unravelled the profound instability in what has conventionally been understood as the world order.The annual publication CBEES State of the Region report focuses on Central and Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, the Balkans, and the Baltic Sea region, where we find countries that are closest to the war. This year, we have engaged over 30 scholars to analyze how the countries in this region have been affected by the war to form a tentative understanding of the unfolding consequences of the war for the region. Understandably, the consequences of the war tie into historical and contemporary conditions that also preceded the war.The report presents a contemporary overview of the diversity of challenges the region and its countries face today, both on a macro level and on a grassroots level and gives a preliminary analysis of the implications for the region's future.

Aquatic ecosystem function and environmental change across spatial scales
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Microbial communities comprise immense diversity, mediating numerous ecosystem functions such as nitrogen transformation in aquatic ecosystems. Yet, how microbial communities and ecosystem functions respond to changes in environmental conditions at different spatial scales in aquatic habitats is not fully understood. This thesis investigates the effect of changes in environmental conditions at different spatial scales on Baltic Sea microbial diversity and nitrogen transformation, specifically denitrification, with a focus on biodiversity-ecosystem function relationship. Two spatial scale settings were examined. A small spatial scale setting was examined with experimental mesocosms of benthic sediment of different salinity and dissolved oxygen levels and at different spatial arrangements, and an incubation experiment conducted with benthic sediments from two different aquatic habitats enriched with 15N nitrate isotope. Microbial diversity, denitrification gene transcript abundances, and potential denitrification rate were analyzed. At a large spatial scale of the Baltic Sea benthic and coastal seascape, a metadata-based modeling approach was employed to investigate how current environmental conditions and future climatic change scenarios affect the predicted spatial distribution of key taxa of denitrifiers and nitrogen-fixing filamentous cyanobacteria. Results showed that salinity and dissolved oxygen levels significantly influenced denitrification capacity, according to analyses of transcript abundances of nirS and nosZ genes, which was mainly driven by habitat environmental conditions rather than habitat spatial arrangement. Bacterial community composition in experimental mesocosms was significantly affected by salinity. Findings from the small scale mesocosms experiments indicate that salinity can be an important driver of microbial denitrification capacity and affect microbial diversity in studied mesocosms. At large coastal and seascape scales, multi-realm environmental variables from both marine and terrestrial domains had significant impacts on the predicted distribution of the studied microbial taxa. The predicted distribution under different global warming trajectories indicated that rising temperatures in year2050 and 2100 risk reducing the current bio-climatically suitable areas of the studied denitrifiers and filamentous cyanobacteria across the Baltic Sea. The studies with experimental mesocosms and modeling approaches presented in this thesis contribute knowledge and novel predictions on the spatial response of ecosystem function and microbial communities to ongoing and future environmental changes in the Baltic Sea.

Overview of automated decision-making landscape in the Italian welfare system
- 2024
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report aims to give a first national overview of automated decision-making systems - ADM -adopted in the public sector in Italy. In the first part of the report it is intended to take a look at whatmethod was adopted for the research and the context in which this research was conducted. Then, inthe second part of the report, an attempt was made to highlight where ADM cases have beenimplemented in the Italian public administration, focusing on welfare sectors (core welfare sector)and municipal sectors (smart city projects). The aim is to give a framing in descriptive terms of theItalian situation in general. Finally, in the last part, four potential case studies, inherent to the field,are described, attempting to detect the potential ADM systems in use or in the making and theirpossible critical points.

De avvisade : om judarna som Sverige skickade mot döden
- 2024
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- De sökte en fristad i Sverige undan förföljelserna i Nazityskland. Men svenska myndigheter sade nej, med hänvisning till 1937 års utlänningslag, olika kungörelser och hemliga anvisningar från Socialstyrelsen. Deras namn hamnade på särskilda vägrarlistor som distribuerades till polisens gränskontroller, svenska ambassader och konsulat. Budskapet var att ingen av dem skulle släppas in i landet.Följden: alla mördades i Förintelsen, efter att ha blivit av- eller utvisade, alternativt drabbats av svenska myndigheters senfärdighet. Däribland konsertmästaren Max Askanas från Leipzig, charkuteristen Henoch Schöngut från Berlin, paret Hertha och Simon Parnass från Hamburg, konstnärinnan Valerie Jungmann och fotohandlaren Salomon Feutchtbaum från Wien. I den här boken berättar journalisten Christoph Andersson deras historia, utifrån vad som finns bevarat om dem i svenska, tyska och österrikiska arkiv − och i deras efterlevandes minnen.Det är en bok om ett mörkt kapitel i Sveriges historia − flyktingpolitiken under åren 1937 till 1942. Beslutad i god demokratisk ordning av riksdag och regering, med katastrofala konsekvenser.

Herta Herzog (1941) On Borrowed Experience

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Drawing on Herta Herzog’s most famous text, ‘On Borrowed Experience’ (1941), this chapter highlights Herzog’s choice of methods, challenges the alleged rift between so-called ‘critical’ and ‘administrative’ mass-communication research, and tracks Herzog’s work as an important complement to Lazarsfeld’s and Merton’s famous efforts during the same era. In comparison with these two communication researchers, Herzog had a more cognitive and behavioural approach, influencing not only academic research but also commercial, applied research - not least in the service of advertising and PR agencies. In addition, Herzog contributed a gender perspective, as her studies explicitly focused on the everyday lives of women and their respective media habits. Finally, this chapter broadly summarises the foundations of the so-called ‘uses and gratifications’ model, of which Herzog can be said to have been one of the crucial inventors. Important challenges and shortcomings of this research approach are also highlighted.

Interactivity, multimedia, and animation in news storytelling : The New York Times' “Snow Fall,” Swedish SvD's “Räntekartan,” and Brazilian Aos Fatos' “Fátima”

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Interactivity in news storytelling has introduced possibilities for the audience to be in control of the story. These complex animations come from a convergence of skills and have managed to somewhat displace the boundaries of what journalism is, how it is produced, and how it can be consumed. In this chapter, a historical account of successful and failed media-rich news features will help us understand the hybrid role of interactivity in journalism and how it affects journalistic decision-making, starting with the forgotten technology of electronic paper (e-paper), originally designed for transmission over the digital audio broadcasting network (DAB), and the early development of news apps (news applications) such as ProPublica's Dollars for Docs to the animation used in the long-read format of The New York Times' “Snow Fall” and the development of journalistic crowdsourced data visualizations based on easy-to-use tools such as Swedish SvD's Räntekartan. Furthermore, visualizations in journalism include elements that engage and educate the audience, such as the sensor data-based German WDR animal welfare project Super Cows. While interactivity can soften hard news topics and make the audience stay longer with the content, news stories are protected by traditional norms. Therefore, interactive features are still modest, sometimes surprisingly simple, and normalized to traditional journalism practices.

Party–voter policy representation among populist radical right parties in the Nordic region
- 2024
-
Ingår i: The Nordic Populist Radical Right. - London : Routledge. - 9780429199936 - 9781138387478 - 9781138390225 ; , s. 59-77

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- How well do the policies of the Nordic radical right parties represent the preferences of their voters? This chapter addresses this question by matching the positions of radical right parties and their voters on a number of key issues. Going beyond aggregate dimensions such as left/right or GAL/TAN, the analysis focuses on specific policies related to the ideological core features of the radical right – nativism, authoritarianism, and populism – as well as to the environment and the economy. The results show that the radical right parties in the Nordic region provide voters with a unique policy package: they are more strongly opposed to immigration than are the parties from other party families, and they combine this position with an anti-European Union (EU) stance. However, in their cultural conservatism, their opposition to environmental protection, and their authoritarian stance on gay rights and civil liberties, the Nordic radical right parties are less representative of their voters.
