The role of schools in mental health promotion and prevention
It has been recognized that schools play a key role in promoting well-being and preventing mental health problems among children and adolescents. The local context is crucial for realizing the school’s health-promotive potential. This study aimed to explore how the role of schools is approached in Swedish municipal policy documents governing mental health efforts. A qualitative document analysis using the READ approach was conducted. Seventy-thre…
Exploring paths to participation and non-participation in physical exercise among Swedish adolescents
Background Physical exercise (PE) is important for health. Girls are reported to participate less compared to boys. Multiple factors influence participation and non-participation, including neighborhood, socioeconomic status, social support, and disability. Factors may combine and form paths to participation or non-participation, yet these paths are unknown. To our knowledge, this is the first study to combine cluster analysis with a configuratio…
Children’s and youth mental health in all policies
Given the extent of mental ill health among children and youth, as well as the complexity and interconnection of determinants of mental health, effective governance, including local-level policies, is of utmost importance. This study explores how municipal governing documents address the promotion of mental health in children and youth and the prevention of mental ill health and suicide. A document analysis was conducted. The websites of Sweden’s…
"I just want to move"
This study contributes to the limited research on preschool children's physical literacy by showing that children's motivation for movement is connected to how movement makes them feel. Thus, from the children's perspective, the affective domain of physical literacy is recognised as central to their engagement in movement. Including children's perspective advances the understanding of physical literacy and underscores the importance of considerin…
Bridging health literacy and physical literacy for sustainable health
In this paper, we propose that physical literacy should be conceptualized in relation to, and as interconnected with, health literacy rather than as a distinct and separate form of literacy, as is often presented. Furthermore, we contend that this approach should be more centrally integrated into health interventions that target health in general, as well as specific aspects aimed at determinants of health, such as physical activity. Rather than …

Digitalization of welfare organizations for persons with intellectual disabilities
Information and communication technology (ICT) and digital media are less accessible for persons with intellectual disability (ID) but are important for citizenship. The aim was to conceptualize officials understanding of ICT usage among people with ID, and to analyze the possible influence of this understanding on the provision of services for people with ID. A qualitative study was conducted, using semi-structured interviews with municipal offi…
Towards a Deeper Understanding of Agricultural Production Systems in Sweden – Linking Farmer’s Logics with Environmental Consequences and the Landscape
Farm restructuring is a continuous on-going process supported by national agricultural policy in Sweden; while striving for more efficient farms in terms of labor and yields, farms enlarge their holdings of arable land and animals. The environmental consequences of more intensive land uses have in turn stimulated environmental policies to deal with negative environmental consequences. In this paper we argue that an underlying problem with both of…
You have to focus all your energy on being a parent”
Swedish farming fathers are facing new expectations about their level of involvement in their children's upbringing – expectations of their own, but also arising from gender equality policy and shifting societal norms. A gender-neutral parental leave scheme has been in place in Sweden since 1974 and gives parents a generous opportunity to take paid time off work to stay at home with their children. Generally, however, fathers tend to take only a …
Technovisions for Food Security as Sweden Restores Its Civil Defence
After three decades of demobilising the Swedish defence sector following the end of the Cold War, Sweden recently revived civil defence planning, including new instructions to plan for food security in the event of war. This policy shift has raised questions as to how farming’s vulnerability to disruptions differs today from in the Cold War era, as well as how this vulnerability might best be mitigated. This article presents and discusses key vul…
Designing Cattle
This paper explores how cattle breeds are constructed through social practice-which we conceptually develop as "designing" cattle. We show how breed varieties are designed, informed by the social, material and moral embeddedness of cattle breeding associations' visions of the future and how they draw on science and technology in their breeding strategies. Based on an analysis of the trade magazines of three different breeding associations, we ill…
Breeding Beyond Bodies
Dairy cows provide a spectacular example of what can be achieved with purposeful breeding of nonhuman animals in terms of increasing production and bodily adaptation to particular production systems. This implies that humans can make nonhuman bodies take whatever form they desire. However, the assumption that breeding outcomes are entirely shaped by humans has been criticized. This article contributes to ongoing discussions of breeds as socially …
