This document summarizes a research project called RADISKAN that examines discourses and effects of preventing radicalization in Scandinavia. The project aims to analyze how categories of potentially "vulnerable" individuals are created through national action plans against radicalization, despite a lack of empirical evidence supporting radicalization theories. Additionally, the project seeks to understand the impact of preventive measures on suspect groups and society, and how insecurity around radicalization affects trust within society. The researchers hope to provide an analysis of how understandings of radicalization are formulated, framed, and experienced from the perspectives of those implementing prevention efforts and those being monitored.

This document provides a summary of theories and concepts related to radicalization from psychology and sociology literature. It is intended as a general reference for military personnel. The document first discusses definitions and concepts around radicalization. It then outlines 16 theories that have been proposed to explain radicalization, such as relative deprivation theory and social identity theory. Next, it discusses 12 mechanisms through which radicalization can occur, at the individual, group and mass level, and provides examples. It also briefly discusses deradicalization programs. The document aims to bridge social science research and operational concerns by highlighting observable behaviors for each mechanism.

This document provides a summary of theories and concepts from psychology and sociology that are relevant to understanding the process of radicalization. It examines 16 theories that have been proposed to explain radicalization, such as relative deprivation theory, social network theory, and identity theory. It also analyzes 12 mechanisms through which radicalization can occur, such as mass radicalization through conflict with an outgroup or individual radicalization through personal grievance. For each mechanism, an example is given from the real world. Risk factors for radicalization and programs for deradicalization are also discussed. The purpose is to provide military personnel with an overview of the current understanding from social sciences around why and how radicalization happens.
Building Community Resilience to Violent Extremism – Government approaches”
1) Australia has adopted a whole-of-government approach to countering violent extremism (CVE) through programs aimed at challenging terrorist propaganda, intervening in the radicalization process, and empowering communities.
2) Key aspects of Australia's CVE efforts include monitoring approximately 400 high-priority counter-terrorism investigations; challenging terrorist propaganda online and limiting access to extremist materials; and operating intervention programs in each state and territory to address the drivers of radicalization.
3) Empowering communities is seen as the best way to build resilience to radicalization through resources like the Living Safe Together website that provide information on radicalization and where to seek help.
1Developmental Predictors of Violent Extremist Attitud.docx
This document summarizes a study that examines how collective strain and moral/legal neutralization influence violent extremist attitudes in adolescents. The study uses data from Swiss adolescents to test predictions from General Strain Theory. Specifically, it hypothesizes that 1) exposure to collective strain is associated with higher support for violent extremism and 2) the effect of collective strain is amplified when individuals have higher moral disengagement and legal cynicism. The results found that collective strain alone did not predict extremist attitudes, but the interaction of strain and moral/legal neutralization did significantly predict more extremist views.

This document is a thesis that examines methods of political participation among extra-parliamentary groups in Sweden. It aims to show that there is a distinction between political radicalism, activism, and terrorism when classifying groups. The thesis provides a theoretical framework on political participation and introduces the concept of radicalism. It analyzes interviews conducted with members of four Swedish groups - Antifascistisk Aktion Väst, Allt åt Alla Uppsala, Nordisk Ungdom, and Svenska Motståndsrörelsen - to empirically support distinguishing radicalism as its own subcategory between activism and terrorism. The analysis finds that current definitions of political actions are lacking and that emphasizing radical

Chong-Druckman-FramingTheory Chong-Druckman-FramingTheory
This document discusses framing theory in political science. It defines framing as how people develop conceptualizations of issues by emphasizing different values or considerations. Framing can affect public opinion by causing people to weigh different attributes of an issue differently. The document reviews how framing studies have found that small changes in how issues are presented can lead to large changes in public opinion. It also discusses how framing relates to models of attitude formation and the implications of framing effects for democratic representation.
622 6 pp_15_public_policy_process
The lecture discusses the first stage of the policy process - problem delimitation and recognition. It defines what constitutes a problem, social problem, and policy problem. A social problem becomes a policy problem if it can be addressed through public policy. Problem delimitation in public policy involves structuring and specifying issues to help define the scope of potential solutions. Different problems have varying levels of agreement on values/knowledge, from well-structured to unstructured. The theory of agenda setting explains how issues rise on the agendas of public, policymakers and government. The stage model of the policy cycle is used to analyze the process, though it has limitations as policymaking is complex and non-linear.

Collective Behavior & Social Movements
FreedomWorks is a small-government advocacy group led by former House Majority Leader Dick Armey that is trying to organize conservative activists and harness growing discontent with Democratic policies. It has lent support and organizational resources to tea party protests and town hall demonstrations opposing healthcare reform and other issues. While building its own membership, FreedomWorks is also trying to avoid appearing like it is trying to control the loosely organized conservative movement. Some observers worry large protests risk alienating moderates, while FreedomWorks aims to ride the wave of activism without being seen as its leader.

Introduction to Social Policy Analysis 1c.pptx
1. Social policy refers to both the state-based provision of goods and services to meet basic needs, as well as the academic study of these policies.
2. As an academic discipline, social policy draws from and contributes to other social sciences like political science, sociology, and economics. It examines the social, political, and economic contexts of policymaking.
3. There is debate around whether the policymaking process is rational or more complex and incremental. Multiple actors and unintended consequences can influence policy outcomes in unpredictable ways.
The meaning of terrorism and its importance updated 2023 doc 13.docx
Terrorism
is a complex and multifaceted concept that refers to the use of violence, intimidation, and fear to achieve political, ideological, or religious objectives. It involves acts of violence directed towards civilians or non-combatants with the intention of instilling fear, causing widespread panic, and disrupting social order. The importance of understanding terrorism lies in its significant impact on individuals, communities, and nations, as well as its implications for global security and stability. Here are key points to consider when discussing the meaning and importance of terrorism:
Definition and Forms: Terrorism is characterized by the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians or non-combatants. It takes various forms, including bombings, assassinations, hijackings, cyberattacks, and suicide attacks. The motives behind terrorism can be diverse, ranging from political ideologies and religious extremism to separatism and insurgency.
Psychological Impact: One of the crucial aspects of terrorism is its psychological impact. The deliberate creation of fear and anxiety among the public can have far-reaching consequences on individuals and communities. Terrorist acts can cause trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and long-term psychological distress, affecting the well-being and mental health of survivors and witnesses.
Social Disruption: Terrorism aims to disrupt social order and challenge the legitimacy and authority of governments. It can lead to the breakdown of trust within societies, heighten divisions, and create a climate of suspicion and fear. The social disruption caused by terrorism can strain community cohesion, hinder economic development, and impede social progress.
Global Security Concerns: Terrorism poses significant challenges to global security and stability. It has become a transnational threat that transcends borders and affects nations worldwide. The interconnectedness of the modern world allows terrorist organizations to recruit, fundraise, and coordinate their activities globally, necessitating international cooperation and coordinated responses to counter this threat.
Counterterrorism Efforts: The importance of combating terrorism has led to the development of counterterrorism strategies and initiatives by governments, international organizations, and security agencies. These efforts focus on intelligence gathering, prevention, law enforcement, and international cooperation to disrupt terrorist networks, prosecute perpetrators, and enhance security measures.

Ragnar andersson. towards an evidence based zero vision on residential
This document outlines a proposed research project to develop an evidence-based Vision Zero policy for residential fires in Sweden. Each year around 100 people are killed in residential fires in Sweden, with the elderly and disabled disproportionately represented as victims. The existing Vision Zero fire safety policy lacks a strong scientific foundation. The proposed research includes 7 sub-projects examining socio-demographic factors that influence fire risk, injury, death, survival rates, effectiveness of rescue services, and medical susceptibility to smoke and heat for different groups. The goal is to better understand why some populations are at higher risk and provide recommendations to strengthen fire safety policy.

This document discusses the historical security practices of majority and minority groups in Nordic societies, specifically examining the relationship between the Roma minority and majority populations in Finland and other Nordic countries. It explores two approaches: 1) how the majority population has undermined the security of Roma groups through exclusionary policies and informal discrimination, and 2) the strategies Roma people have used to achieve a sense of individual and communal security while maintaining their cultural traditions and distinction from the majority. The document aims to analyze the interplay between these groups by looking at folklore and narratives about Roma, state policies targeting Roma minorities, how Finnish Roma have constructed their historical culture, and the impact of religious conversions on Roma mobilization.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

https://www.etran.rs/2024/en/home-english/The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

- 1. Searching the unkown: discourses and effects of preventing radicalization in Scandinavia (RADISKAN) Therese Sandrup Nerina Weiss Therese.sandrup@ffi.no Nerina.Weiss@fafomail.no
- 2. The concept of radicalization
- 3. The concept of radicalization - The aim is social change and the achievement of political goals - Shift from groups and organizations towards individuals - Direct process following a linear directions - Phase-based theory. - Radicalization as threat to democracy - Use of violence as well as the mere acceptance of such actions and beliefs.
- 4. Radicalization Norwegian Action Plan Swedish Action Plan Danish Actin Plan a process whereby a person increasingly accepts the use of violence to achieve political, ideological or religious goals the process that leads to a person or group supporting or enacting ideologically motivated violence to promote a cause the process in which a person gradually accepts the ideas and methods of extremism and, possibly, joins its organised groups
- 5. Violent extremism Norwegian Action Plan Swedish Action Plan Danish Action Plan activities of persons and groups that are willing to use violence in order to achieve their political, ideological or religious goals a collective term for movements, ideologies or milieus that do not accept a democratic social order and promote violence to achieve ideological goals characterised by totalitarian and anti-democratic ideologies, intolerance to the views of others, hostile imagery and a division into «them» and «us»
- 6. The concept of radicalization • No causal link between e.g. vulnerability and exclusion through radicalization to violence and terrorism (Hemmingsen 2011) • Radical beliefs not a proxy for terrorism (Borum 2011) • Lack of attention to the wider circumstances (Sedgwick 2010)
- 7. The concept of radicalization Due to reasons of personal safety, political sensitivity and perceived methodological difficulty, researchers have largely shied away from action and actor-based research […]. The inevitable result has been a very lopsided literature which says surprisingly little on some very important aspects of the subject. (Silke 2004: 9)
- 8. The concept of radicalization - Theories of terrorism, and radicalization processes that may lead to terrorism, lack significant empirical substantiation. - No dominating theory of radicalization - In spite of this, strong political focus on preventive action against radicalization (cf. National Action Plans against radicalization)
- 9. RADISKAN What discourses on what levels inform preventive actions. What is their impact on ‘suspect communities’ and on society at large? How are categories of potentially ‘vulnerable’ individuals and groups created? How do preventive measures impact potential suspect groups? And how are these measures experienced by the latter? How do insecurity and ambivalence around radicalization impact levels of trust and distrust within society?
- 10. RADISKAN …towards an analysis of the social settings in which understandings of radicalization are formulated, framed and experienced.
- 11. RADISKAN a study of those who look for potentially radicalized groups vs. those who are being looked at.
