- In The Democratic Contradictions of Multiculturalism, Jens-Martin Eriksen and Frederik Stjernfelt elaborate on the concept of “culturalism.” In Telos 163 (Summer 2013), Eriksen continues to analyze its intricacies under the heading “Culturalism: When the Culture becomes Political Ideology.”2 Horizontal class divisions are out, vertical cultural barriers are in. Seemingly, culture has squeezed out all other concepts. The present essay shall broaden this discussion by asking the question: What is the relation between the Counter-Enlightenment of the early nineteenth century and today's culturalism?

Acceptabilitetsbedömningar av ena meningar – syntaktiska och informationsstrukturella begränsningar.
- 2023

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Svenskan har två plurala obestämda artiklar: ena och några. Bruket av ena är dock mycket begränsat; artikeln tycks fungera endast i beskrivande, värderande och rematiska nominalfraser (Teleman et al. 1999, s. 410). I Collberg och Agebjörns (2023) korpusstudie förekom ena företrädesvis i predikativer, som i Barnen är ena riktiga vildingar. Artikeln förekom också i utbrutna led och egentliga subjekt samt undantagsvis i objekt. Däremot förekom den aldrig i subjekt eller adverbial och aldrig i topikaliserade fraser. Föreliggande studie undersöker i vilken utsträckning detta begränsade bruk av den plurala obestämda artikeln ena styrs av syntaktiska respektive informationsstrukturella faktorer. Med en experimentellt designad enkät testas hur acceptabilitetsbedömningar av meningar med ena beror dels på nominalfrasens grammatiska funktion, dels på dess informationsstrukturella funktion, operationaliserad som position i relation till meningens verb. Som kontrollvillkor används motsvarande meningar med default-artikeln några. Preliminära resultat visar att ena fungerar lika bra som några i predikativer och utbrutna led, sämre än några i subjekt, egentliga subjekt och objekt samt inte alls i adverbial. Nominalfrasens position i relation till verbet verkar inte påverka bedömningarna av ena-meningarna mer än bedömningarna av några-meningarna. Sammantaget tyder detta på att bruket av den plurala obestämda artikeln ena styrs av syntaktiska snarare än informationsstrukturella begränsningar.

Några, ena eller ∅? : Obestämda artiklar i plurala, beskrivande predikativer
- 2024
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Svenska singulara predikativa nominalfraser kan uppträda med eller utan obestämda artikel. Artikeln en används typiskt när predikativen beskriver subjektet medan ∅ används när predikativen klassificerar det, exempelvis genom att tillskriva det en yrkestillhörighet. Även artikeln någon uppträder i beskrivande predikativer, men framför allt i icke-affirmativa satser(Teleman et al. 1999). I plurala beskrivande predikativer är artikelbruket mer varierat. Oavsett om satsen affirmativ eller inte kan några, ∅ och ena användas, den sista framför allt i värderande nominalfraser i informella kontexter (se Collberg & Agebjörn 2022). Vad som styr valet mellan dessa tre är oklart.Föreliggande experimentella studie bidrar till att fylla denna kunskapslucka genom att besvara följande forskningsfråga: Hur påverkas acceptabilitetsbedömningar av deklarativa affirmativahuvudsatser med plurala beskrivande predikativer av (i) valet av artikel, (ii) nominalfrasens position i satsen samt (iii) nominalfrasens lexikala innehåll? Nästan 600 förstaspråkstalare av svenska bedömde tolv meningar med plurala predikativer, hälften positivt och hälften negativt värderande. Varje mening förekom i sex versioner, så att varje artikel, inkluderat ∅, uppträdde både pre- och postverbalt. Dessa versioner fördelades över sex listor så att samtliga deltagare fick bedöma en mening av varje typ utan att någon fick bedöma flera versioner av samma mening. Faktorerna artikel (några/ena/∅), position (preverbal/postverbal) och värdering(positiv/negativ), samt interaktionerna mellan dessa, inkluderades i en regressionsmodell som predicerar acceptabilitetsbedömningarna.Analysen visar att artikeln några bedömdes som signifikant sämre än både ena och ∅, medanskillnaden mellan ena och ∅ var obefintlig. Preverbala predikativer bedömdes generellt som sämre är postverbala, och denna negativa effekt av topikalisering var signifikant större för några än för ena och ∅, medan skillnaden mellan de två senare återigen var obefintlig.Dessutom bedömdes de positiva predikativerna generellt som sämre än de negativa, och denna effekt var signifikant större för ena än för ∅ och signifikant större för ∅ än för några. Sammantaget indikerar dessa resultat att ena eller ∅, snarare än några, är det omarkerade valet av artikel i plurala beskrivande predikativer. Sämst fungerar alltså några i preverbala negativt värderande predikativer. Valet mellan ena och ∅ styrs i sin tur av huruvida nominalfrasen är positivt eller negativt värderande. Slutligen tyder interaktionerna mellan artikel och position på att valet av artikel även påverkas av nominalfrasens informationsstrukturella status.

Why are organisational professionals expanding in the Swedish public sector? The role of accountability
- 2024

Ingår i: Public Policy and Administration. - London : Sage Publications. - 0952-0767 .- 1749-4192.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent research shows that new types of high-skilled administrators, what we in this article label organisational professionals, have amplified their presence in public sector organisations in relation to other types of public sector employees. Our purpose is to analyse how organisational accountability can be seen as a driver behind the expansion of organisational professionals. Intensified political and administrative pressures seem to be driving this process, but there also seems to be internal turfs in which the different parts of the government administration seek to hold each other accountable, a process possibly amplified by professionalising ambitions of the organisational professionals. The article concludes that the bureaucratising effect of accountability demands ought to be highlighted more in critical research of accountability. The study is based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups with public sector professionals in Sweden from different policy sectors and government levels.

ASSERT : A Blockchain-Based Architectural Approach for Engineering Secure Self-Adaptive IoT Systems
- 2022

Ingår i: Sensors. - basel : MDPI. - 1424-8220. ; 22:18

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Internet of Things (IoT) systems are complex systems that can manage mission-critical, costly operations or the collection, storage, and processing of sensitive data. Therefore, security represents a primary concern that should be considered when engineering IoT systems. Additionally, several challenges need to be addressed, including the following ones. IoT systems’ environments are dynamic and uncertain. For instance, IoT devices can be mobile or might run out of batteries, so they can become suddenly unavailable. To cope with such environments, IoT systems can be engineered as goal-driven and self-adaptive systems. A goal-driven IoT system is composed of a dynamic set of IoT devices and services that temporarily connect and cooperate to achieve a specific goal. Several approaches have been proposed to engineer goal-driven and self-adaptive IoT systems. However, none of the existing approaches enable goal-driven IoT systems to automatically detect security threats and autonomously adapt to mitigate them. Toward bridging these gaps, this paper proposes a distributed architectural Approach for engineering goal-driven IoT Systems that can autonomously SElf-adapt to secuRity Threats in their environments (ASSERT). ASSERT exploits techniques and adopts notions, such as agents, federated learning, feedback loops, and blockchain, for maintaining the systems’ security and enhancing the trustworthiness of the adaptations they perform. The results of the experiments that we conducted to validate the approach’s feasibility show that it performs and scales well when detecting security threats, performing autonomous security adaptations to mitigate the threats and enabling systems’ constituents to learn about security threats in their environments collaboratively. © 2022 by the authors.

Migrants in Swedish sexual and reproductive health and rights related policies : a critical discourse analysis
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Journal for Equity in Health. - London : BioMed Central (BMC). - 1475-9276. ; 21:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Previous research has shown that migrants in Sweden are disadvantaged in terms of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). SRHR policies might play a crucial role in shaping migrants’ SRHR outcomes. The purpose of the study was to critically examine: a) how migrants were represented in the discourses embedded within Swedish SRHR-related policies, and b) how migrants’ SRHR-related issues were framed and addressed within these discourses.Methods: Critical discourse analysis (CDA) was used to analyze a total of 54 policy documents. Following Jäger’s approach to CDA, discourse strands and entanglements between different discourse strands were examined.Results: Our findings consisted of three discourse strands: 1) “Emphasizing vulnerability”, 2) “Constructing otherness”, and 3) “Prioritizing the structural level or the individual level?”. Migrants’ representation in Swedish SRHR-related policies is often associated with the concept of vulnerability, a concept that can hold negative connotations such as reinforcing social control, stigma, and disempowerment. Alongside the discourse of vulnerability, the discourse of otherness appears when framing migrants’ SRHR in relation to what is defined as honor-related violence and oppression. Furthermore, migrant SRHR issues are occasionally conceptualized as structural issues, as suggested by the human rights-based approach embraced by Swedish SRHR-related policies. Relevant structural factors, namely migration laws and regulations, are omitted when addressing, for example, human trafficking and HIV/AIDS.Conclusions: We conclude that the dominant discourses favor depictions of migrants as vulnerable and as the Other. Moreover, despite the prevailing human rights-based discourse, structural factors are not always considered when framing and addressing migrants’ SRHR issues. This paper calls for a critical analysis of the concept of vulnerability in relation to migrants’ SRHR. It also highlights the importance of avoiding othering and paying attention to the structural factors when addressing migrants’ SRHR. © 2022, The Author(s).

Coming across a hidden problem in an excluded population in Sweden : professionals' experiences of young migrants' disclosures of sexual violence
- 2024

Ingår i: Culture, Health and Sexuality. - Abingdon : Routledge. - 1369-1058 .- 1464-5351. ; 26:5, s. 621-637

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Growing evidence suggests that young migrants are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence. As young migrants often lack family and social networks, professionals are often the recipients of disclosures of sexual violence. This study aimed to explore how professionals experience young migrants' disclosures of sexual violence. A qualitative design was used, based on 14 semi-structured interviews with a range of professionals from the public sector and civil society in southern Sweden. The data were analysed using qualitative content analysis. The overarching theme developed was 'coming across the hidden problem of sexual violence in an excluded population' supported by three sub-themes: 'linking structural marginalisation and vulnerability to sexual violence'; 'realising that sexual violence is one among many other concerns'; and 'taking pride in backing up young people betrayed by society'. Professionals expressed a strong sense of responsibility due to the complex vulnerabilities of young migrants and their lack of access to services. This, coupled with the lack of clarity about how to respond to disclosures of sexual violence, can lead to moral distress. There is a need to strengthen support for professionals, including recognition of ethical dilemmas and the establishment of formal connections between organisations making access more straightforward and predictable.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The past years have triggered the established blended learning format to develop into other kinds of online teaching formats, with, for example, combinations of a/synchronous learning with more flexible (co-)location requirements for teachers and students. This has led to a renewed exploration of ways to ensure accessible and life-long learning through developed educational practices. Comparing online education formats can be challenging but is necessary. Building on case study methodology, the objective of this study was to explore online learning situations (n = 21): Asynchronous Distance Education (ADE) (n = 15) and (synchronous) Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) (n = 6), to develop a method to systematically analyse and evaluate different formats of online education using engagement theory. To do so, a schema was developed through which visual representations of learning situations were analysed. Results show that visual representations of learning situations enable nuanced comparisons across different formats of online education. Analysis reveals that the format of education affects the conditions under which the teacher more readily facilitates student engagement and that asynchronous and synchronous formats support different nuances of engagement. © 2022 The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
