21st Century Media and Female Mental Health
This open access book examines the conversations around gendered mental health in contemporary Western media culture. While early 21st century-media was marked by a distinct focus on happiness, productivity and success, during the 2010s negative feelings and discussions around mental health have become increasingly common in that same media landscape. This book traces this turn to sadness in women’s media culture and shows that it emerged indirectly as a result of a culture overtly focused on happiness. By tracing the coverage of mental health issues in magazines, among female celebrities, and on social media this book shows how an increasingly intimate media environment has made way for a...

Goliath
2014 Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Notable Book Award In Goliath, New York Times bestselling author Max Blumenthal takes us on a journey through the badlands and high roads of Israel-Palestine, painting a startling portrait of Israeli society under the siege of increasingly authoritarian politics as the occupation of the Palestinians deepens.

Hon & han
Alicia är upptagen med att duga. Hon är populär i klassen men tillhör inte riktigt innegänget. Varje dag i skolan anstränger hon sig för att göra allt rätt och säga rätt saker - så mycket att hon är alldeles slut när hon kommer hem. På Facebook går det bättre att navigera än i skolan. Det är lättare att säga coola, smarta saker när man får tänka innan. Dessutom har Alicia världens snyggaste profilbild. En dag får hon en vänförfrågan från nån som heter Lucas, som är jättelik Harry i One Direction. Tänk om hon blev ihop med en sån kille, då skulle nog klassens drottning Ida släppa in henne i sin krets på riktigt. Utan att Alicia riktigt vet hur det gått t...
Slaget om aborträtten
"Boken är en utmärkt skildring av politik, historia och genus kopplade till abort från såväl forsknings- som gräsrotsnivå, varför den framöver säkerligen kommer att ha en betydande roll i samhällsdebatten." Helhetsbetyg: 5, BTJ nr 21, 2023 Abort rör vår grundläggande syn på liv och död. Frågan är på samma gång existentiell och vardaglig, kopplad både till religiös tro och socioekonomi. Den globala trenden har länge gått i en liberalare riktning men på senare år har något hänt och USA är inte det enda land där abortfrågan blivit politiskt sprängstoff. Sanna Torén Björling skildrar aborträttens historia och starka laddning genom möten med aktivisterna på marken, med läkare, forskare och andra berörda, och visar hur aborträtten inte handlar om ett medicinskt ingrepp - utan om kontroll och makt.
HIV-Induced Damage of B Cells and Production of HIV Neutralizing Antibodies
Multiple dysfunctions take place in the B cell compartment during HIV-1 infection, comprising depletion of resting memory B cells carrying serological memory to vaccines and previously met pathogens. In addition, population of B cells characterized by the expression of exhaustion markers are enlarged during HIV-1 infection. Antibodies with the capacity to neutralize a broad range of HIV-1 isolates can be detected only in a minority of infected patients, after a year or more from acute infection. An open question is whether the inability of producing neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies is somehow linked to the B cell immunopathology observed in patients. In this research topic we invited scientists...
