Ingrid Ylva och tornet i Bjälbo
No full textThe article discusses the background to the erection of the huge church tower in Bjälbo, Östergötland, Sweden. It also focuses on medieval women as founders of churches. The author maintains that new dendrochronological dating of the tower could mean that founder of this building piece was not one of the male members of the important Bjälbo dynasty, but Ingrid Ylva the mother of Birger Jarl
Ingrid Winterbach: Novelist (Interview)

The translation of her fourth novel, Karolina Ferreira (1993) as The Elusive Moth (2005), and subsequently, Niggie as To Hell with Cronjé (2007) and Die boek van toeval en toeverlaat (2006) as The Book of Happenstance (2008), have brought this author to the attention of a wider South African readership
Women rate the competence of their occupational role higher than men do: Evidence from two different samples
No full textGender stereotypes play a potent role in how the work of men and women is perceived and valued. Stereotypes also influence the way people look upon themselves. In the present research, two studies are reported where men and women at work rated the degree of warmth and competence of a person with their own occupation, and how they think people in general would perceive a person in the same occupation. A wider gap between own perceptions and that of people in general was expected for women than for men, as it was assumed that the view of other people’s perceptions would serve as a proxy for stereotype threat for women. Study 1 comprised 449 participants (74 % women) working within the public sector, mainly in social, caring, and education professions, and Study 2 comprised a convenience sample of 189 participants (70 % women) from a variety of sectors and professions. Both studies yielded consistent results; contradictory to what was expected, men and women did not differ in terms of how they thought people in general would perceive the competence of their occupation, instead women rated the competence of their own occupation higher than men did, even after controlling for type of occupation and educational level. Warmth displayed only minor gender differences. The results are discussed in relation to research on counter-reactions against stereotype threat, how the concept of competence could be understood, as well as other possible explanations of the unexpected results. </p
Gender Differences in Social Dominance Orientation: Gender Invariance May Be Situation Invariance
No full textMost studies of gender differences in social dominance orientation (SDO) have investigated settings more or less hierarchy-enhancing. The aim of this study was to explore gender differences in SDO (1) within social structures varying in equality-enhancement, i.e., communities differing in political equality between men and women, and (2) settings where equality was maximized and held constant, i.e., democratic, voluntary associations, but varying in gender composition, using survey data from a random sample of 831 Swedish adults (median age = 47 years). There was a significant interaction effect between gender and membership in voluntary associations dominated by women, with men and women displaying equally low levels of SDO. In all other instances the main effect of gender remained statistically significant.</p

No full textGlobal climate change is causing more extreme droughts, as well as subtler chronic changes in precipitation patterns. Both chronic and extreme precipitation change can alter ecosystem structure and function, and these alterations may affect how systems respond to future extreme climatic events. Understanding how legacies of various past precipitation changes may alter the effects of future extreme droughts will be important for predicting ecosystem responses to climate change. We investigated how ecological legacies of experimentally-imposed chronic and extreme precipitation changes altered the impact of an extreme drought on an economically-important grassland ecosystem.Top Scholars for University-Wide Graduate Programs

What do the visitors do when they co-create value? : Experiences from a theme park setting
No full textThe concept of value co-creation has opened up a new frame of research, freeing the areafrom a narrow supply – demand dichotomy. Briefly put, value co-creation means that asupplier and a customer, i.e. visitor, add value jointly to the experience in question, byproviding different input, based on their differing history. A consequence of thisreasoning is that there are as many different notions of a tourist setting as there arevisitors. One could argue that each visitor creates his or her own setting, be it adestination, an event or a theme park, etc., depending on what the visitor understandsand uses of the services provided. This process is not easily studied and is oftenattempted to be captured through its output, i.e. as evaluations that visitors makeafterwards. However, with GPS tracking technology it is possible to follow this processby recording what visitors actually do and what they actually use of the various servicesprovided, i.e. the basis for what they consider as value. This paper presents a studywhere visitors to a theme park carried GPS devices during a day’s visit, and wereinstructed to indicate positive and negative experiences by pressing buttons on thedevice. Afterwards they received a web-based questionnaire where their indicatedexperiences were depicted on a map and for which they could give a short description ofthe experience and also rate its strength. Based on a quantitative analysis of the visitors’movement patterns and a qualitative analysis of how they described their experiences,four segments of visitors were identified. An aspect often neglected in these kind ofstudies is the fact that tourism most often is a social event, i.e., people travel together.This means that the same visitor pattern may evoke different meanings and may beevaluated differently. The results from this study indicate that it is precisely so, theoverall evaluations of the visit were dependent on a combination of the mobility patternsand background factors such as gender and age.</p
