Transformed Parenthood in the Face of ALS
When a parent is diagnosed with a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it can have major effects on the family's health. Parenthood itself may also be affected, potentially fueling an urgent need for support from healthcare. Research focusing on this group of parents is nevertheless limited. The aim of this study was to illuminate the meaning of parenthood when a parent has ALS, from the persp…
The use of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to assess mental health in adolescents with parents diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

The method involved repeatedly distributing the questionnaire to evaluate its content and structure within this group. The SDQ Prosocial Behaviour subscale and total difficulties score was calcul…
The prevalence and long-term effects of PTSD and moral injury in Swedish military veterans
The study results highlight the type(s) of stressful experience and the health- and deployment-related factors that should be monitored post-deployment, which may serve as risk factors in developing indications of moral injury. The higher prevalence of indication of PTSD and MI in the past month, despite receiving various forms of support upon returning from deployment, highlights the need for MI-specific treatment

Moving up the Hill? Peasant Strategies in Times of Plague and Climate Change
The Late Medieval Agrarian Crisis is associated with a desertion of rural settlements. Farmsteads in agriculturally-marginal locations are presumed to have been among the first to be deserted. In recent decades, interdisciplinary research has instead shown several examples of increased agrarian activity, including cereal cultivation, in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries in forested upland areas of boreal inland Scandinavia. Farmsteads and ha…
Aoir Ethics Panel 1
This panel is one of two sessions organized by the AoIR Ethics Working Committee. It collects four papers exploring a broad (but shared) range of practices that present ethical challenges in internet research, while also providing possible roadmaps towards addressing these concerns. These include: the risks and challenges researchers face when researching far-right communities online; the ethical dilemmas faced when researching online sexual crim…
Interrelationship of emotional stability, hassles, uplifts, coping and stress‐related symptoms in Swedish female and male military veterans
Drawing on previous research, two hypotheses were tested: (1) the higher the frequency of daily uplifts and use of functional coping strategies, and the lower the frequency of daily hassles and use of dysfunctional coping strategies, the lower the prevalence of stress‐related symptoms will be, and vice versa; and (2) the direct relationship between the personality dimension emotional stability and stress‐related symptoms, will be moderated by dai…
The Childhood Cancer Centre Is Coming Home
Today, there is a shift towards care being given closer to the patient, with more children receiving care in their homes. Care at home has proven to be a viable alternative to hospital care, as shown by a project for hospital-based home care conducted in West Sweden. The aim of this study was to describe how children with cancer and parents experienced receiving care at home. After purposive sampling, six children with cancer aged 6–16 and eight …
The history of settlement and agrarian land use in a boreal forest in Värmland, Sweden, new evidence from pollen analysis
Shielings are the historically known form of transhumance in Scandinavia, where livestock were moved from the farmstead to sites in the outlands for summer grazing. Pollen analysis has provided a valuable insight into the history of shielings. This paper presents a vegetation reconstruction and archaeological survey from the shieling Kårebolssätern in northern Värmland, western Sweden, a renovated shieling that is still operating today. The first…

A Lack of Effect Studies and of Effects
Psychological operations (PSYOP) implies a purposeful use of communication by a government or military organization to fulfill its mission and is one understanding of strategic communication. The present study focuses on PSYOP effects. The few studies available on this area indicate that the effects of PSYOP generally tend to be on a minor scale, while PSYOP may have a stronger impact in specific contexts. We discuss possible explanations and sug…
Empowering marginal lifescapes
There is a rich, but unacknowledged, heritage of rural subalterns, crofters, in Scandinavia. A Swedish-Norwegian interdisciplinary research-network investigated the most prominent category – the remains of crofts. Due to industrialisation, urbanisation and the modern welfare state, the institution of crofting was abolished, and many crofters left for opportunities elsewhere. The welfare state transformed a landscape of living and working people i…
Lone Swede in an International Military Staff Context

The informants possessed a wide range of experience in a number of leadership positions as well as extensive participa…
Supplementation by thylakoids to a high carbohydrate meal decreases feelings of hunger, elevates CCK levels and prevents postprandial hypoglycaemia in overweight women
Thylakoids are chlorophyll-containing membranes in chloroplasts that have been isolated from green leaves. It has been previously shown that thylakoids supplemented with a high-fat meal can affect cholecystokinin (CCK), ghrelin, insulin and blood lipids in humans, and can act to suppress food intake and prevent body weight gain in rodents. This study investigates the addition of thylakoids to a high carbohydrate meal and its effects upon hunger m…
