- Recruitment is one of the Swedish Armed Forces' (SAF) main challenges today. Recruiting more women into the organization is one of the organization's aims, as well as providing them with more opportunities for career development. The purpose of this article is to gain a deeper understanding of how female military officers perceive barriers and advantages on their way to higher leadership positions. A total of 10 women from a variety of backgrounds and positions in the armed forces were interviewed. Their ranks ranged from Captain to Colonel and they represented army, naval units and air force. The interviews were analysed using a Grounded Theory approach. The qualitative analysis resulted in two main themes: Supporting visibility of women as leaders and differentiation of women as leaders. The former concerns positive strategies on an individual and organizational level that support an increase in the number of female leaders in the SAF, and is a way of responding to political incitements and the SAF's fundamental values. The second concerns ways how women are portrayed as different and divergent from the male standard. The suggested model may be valuable in recruitment, educational settings and leader development of high-level military officers from a gender perspective.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Piracy can lead to risks so high that they, according to the International Maritime Organization, are tolerable only if risk reduction is not practicable or is disproportionate to the benefits achieved. Therefore, there is a need for reducing ship security risks in relation to antagonistic threats such as piracy. The aim of this study is to identify challenges for ship operators when developing their ship security management. Furthermore, this study also investigates two central aspects in the analysis: understanding the threat and understanding how a security threat affects the crew and operation of the ship. It is clear from the analysis that the importance of subjective aspects beyond a ship operators’ direct control is high. This seems to be the fact for all aspects of the risk management process. The situation is also dynamic as the security risk, as well as the risk perception, can change dramatically even though there are no actual operational changes. As a result, the ship security management process is highly iterative and depends on situations on board as well as conditions out of the ship operator’s control. In order to make ship security manageable, the risk management has to put particular focus on methodological understanding, relevant system understanding and well-defined risk acceptance criteria as well as on including all levels of the organization in the risk reduction implementation and on a continuous monitoring.

Skolans värld möter samhällskriser
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Klimatförändringar, pandemier och skolskjutningar är alla exempel på samhällskriser som aktualiserar frågan om hur skolans personal arbetar i krissituationer. Vilken beredskap har skolan att hantera samhällskriser? Vilka kompetenser behöver skolans personal? Vad innebär det att vara en krisaktör? I boken beskrivs olika typer av samhällskriser, deras faser, orsaker och karaktäristika. Författarna argumenterar för att krishantering bör ses som en aspekt av den professionella lärarkunskapen och läsaren får ta de del av konkreta strategier och förhållningssätt som är en del av skolans krishantering. Barnperspektivet lyfts fram, liksom situationen i svensk skola och vilka förutsättningar som här finns för ett fungerande krishanteringsarbete, inte minst när det gäller förebyggande insatser. Skolans värld möter samhällskriser riktar sig till skolpersonal som behöver kunskap om krishantering i skolan. Boken innehåller forskningsnära diskussioner om hur en kris på olika sätt påverkar skolan, dess personal och eleverna. Den presenterar praktiska övningar för reflektion som kan användas som underlag i utbildning av blivande och verksamma lärare, men också av rektorer och annan skolpersonal.
