Towards a theory of ex-combatant reintegration
2013
This paper encourages the development of a theoretical framework for the study of the reintegration of ex-combatants after war. It takes the first steps towards this by proposing a new definition of reintegration, where the processes ex-combatants experience, rather than the programmatic support offered by international and national agencies, take centre stage. The article links the study of reintegration to two broader disciplines; political economy and sociology, and in particular to the two disciplines’ account of power and group belonging. It argues that a political economy approach is particularly useful for making sense of the context in which reintegration processes unfold. The artic…

Selecting the special or choosing the common? A high-powered conceptual replication of Kim and Markus’ (1999) pen study
2022
Kim and Markus (1999) found that 74% of Americans selected a pen with an uncommon (vs. common) color, whereas only 24% of Asians made such a choice, highlighting a pronounced crosscultural difference in the extent to which people opt for originality or make majority-based choices. The present high-powered study (N = 729) conceptually replicates the results from Kim and Markus (1999; Study 3). However, our obtained effect size (r = .12) is significantly weaker than that of the original study (r = .52). Interestingly, given the globalization of mass media and the rapid economic progress of many Asian cultures during the last decades, a larger proportion of Chinese, but not American, participa…
Revisiting the “The Breakfast Club”: Testing Different Theoretical Models of Belongingness and Acceptance (and Social Self-Representation)
2021
The current work tests different theoretical models of belongingness and acceptance as fundamental needs for human motivation. In the current study, 372 participants were presented with 52 different items measuring five different theoretical models of belongingness (with a total of 32 items) and three different theoretical models of acceptance (with a total of 20 items). In a first step, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) failed to provide support for these eight theoretical models. In a second step, we therefore applied Exploratory Factor Analysis yielding three factors, which we interpreted as communicating: (1) Belongingness, (2) Emotion-Acceptance, and (3) Social Self-Representation. In…
Social innovation in a post-conflict setting : examining external factors affecting social service NGOs
2021
While the study of the influence of external environmental factors on non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is well explored in the international development literature, the importance of these factors on NGOs’ transformative roles in a post-conflict development setting remains less understood. Nevertheless, external environmental factors could have a crucial impact on NGOs in such a context, especially when NGOs want to integrate a socially innovative approach into the social services they provide. Using survey data of staff members of social service NGOs from post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina (N = 120) and applying resource dependence theory, this study identifies three environmental f…
Lärarstudenter som aktörer i interaktiv observation och handledning: En studie om digitala redskap i VFU-handledning på övningsskolor
2018
Source at https://doi.org/10.23865/hu.v8.1078. Licensed CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Syftet med denna artikel är att bidra med kunskap om hur digitala redskap kan påverka lärarstudenters deltagande i handledningsprocessen. Trots att lärarstudenter och handledare ofta befinner sig i digitala klassrumsmiljöer används digitala redskap endast i begränsad omfattning under handledningsprocessen. Med utgångspunkt i Wengers teori om lärande i en praktikgemenskap har lärarstudenter och handledare arbetat med stöd av digitala observationsunderlag. Processen har studerats på fyra övningsskolor. Information om studenternas erfarenheter av handledningen har samlats in via enkäter och fokusgruppsamtal. Resultatet vi…
Folkerettspragmatisme
2020
Sammendrag Mens rettspragmatisk tenkning er godt etablert i norsk rett, kan det se ut som om norske jurister har valgt en mer formalistisk tilnærming til folkeretten. Etter å ha gjort kort rede for de teoretiske hovedretningene innenfor folkerettslig teori og påpekt fallgruven ved en for formalistisk tilnærming til folkeretten, lanserer forfatteren det han refererer til som «folkerettspragmatisme». En rettspragmatisk tilnærming til folkeretten skiller seg fra en realistisk tilnærming ved at den ikke stiller som krav til folkerettens gyldighet at den må være i overensstemmelse med (snevre) nasjonale interesser. Samtidig skiller folkerettspragmatismen seg fra en formalistisk tilnærming til fo…
Recupero e rigenerazione urbana della cava e dell’area dello Stazzone in contrada Cappuccini. Luci e ombre sotto piazza sant’Anna.
2021
In questo saggio sono illustrati gli studi su un’area marginale del centro storico di Alcamo condotti da un gruppo di ricerca del Circes, costituito dai proff. Tiziana Campisi (coordinamento e direzione della unità di ricerca), Simona Colajanni e Manfredi Saeli (componenti dell’unità di ricerca) e - per allora – dall’allieva ingegnere Alessandra Foderà, con la collaborazione esterna del geologo dott. Antonio Bambina. Il centro storico di Alcamo, per la sua complessità e articolazione, può costituire un contesto particolarmente idoneo per supportare sperimentazioni progettuali basati sulla utilizzazione dei più aggiornati strumenti di recupero e rigenerazione. Negli ultimi anni, infatti, la …
