This policy brief was prepared for the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise to identify Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) policies introduced by Sweden’s leading comparator countries. As a highly competitive, advanced European economy, Sweden’s comparators identified for this study include other Nordic countries (Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland), other European countries (France, Germany), high-performing Anglosphere countries (United States, United Kingdom, Australia) and dynamic East Asia (Japan, South Korea). Rather than focusing on Swedish Government policy priorities and commitments to science, technology and innovation, this policy brief reveals the prevalence of Sweden’s comparator country’s STEM policies. It highlights STEM-related government policy priorities, STEM policy objectives and focus areas, while also referencing climate, energy, space and security policies that are heavily reliant on STEM skills, knowledge and capabilities. Building on this evidence base, further research will be undertaken to analyse key STEM policies of these comparator countries, to contribute to discussions regarding the development of Swedish STEM policy.
This article essentially examines Joseph Conrad's presentation of the native Africans as black, savage, barbarous, primitive, shadow of evil, unproductive, and inhuman in his famous novella Heart of Darkness (1899). The paper sets out focusing on the facts related to the postcolonial studies that have become a new academic discipline which criticizes those systems created by the colonizers. Postcolonial theory participates in discussing race, othering, subaltern, and orientalism. The word 'postcolonial' pertains to the repercussions of imperialism or colonialism on various cultures and communities. Although there have been many discussions on the theme of exploitation of Africa by the colonizers in Heart of Darkness (1899), the present study explores and explains how Conrad is unsympathetic in depicting the identity and lifestyle of the native Africans and backwardness of this region through the qualitative research by using many postcolonial terms like racism, othering, subalternity, and orientalism. The findings of the experiment demonstrate an amplification of the Europeans' perception of the orient as distinct and lacking in civilization. Consequently, it is argued that it becomes incumbent upon the Western world to pass judgement on them. However, it is paradoxical that the individuals shown as seemingly civilised in the book are, in fact, quite savage. Indeed, the insatiable desire for power, feelings of envy, and the relentless pursuit of ivory have propelled these individuals towards a detestable transformation, whereby they have become corrupt, horrible, and ruthless entities that exploit the indigenous Africans as enslaved labourers for their own self-serving objectives, then discarding them as if they were disposable refuse.

Territorio, cambios en la alimentación y la emergencia de problemas socioambientales en la comunidad indígena de Zinacantán, ChiapasEl territorio indígena en Zinacantán, Chiapas, se vio transformado a partir de la década de los años ochenta por la introducción del cultivo de flores en invernadero. Esta tecnología desplazó al ancestral cultivo del maíz en las parcelas y demandó una mayor atención de las familias. La producción de flores aumentó el ingreso económico, lo que implicó también cambios en la alimentación de la población. Otro problema que surgió por la producción intensiva de flores fue la escasez de agua para consumo humano y daños a la salud por el uso de agroquímicos. El objetivo de la investigación fue analizar este proceso en el que se entrelazan los cambios en la agricultura y la alimentación con problemas ambientales. El método cualitativo apoyado en descripciones etnográficas fue la base metodológica. Se realizaron treinta encuestas a padres de familia más ocho entrevistas semiestructuradas, y se utilizaron otros recursos como cartografía social e imágenes satelitales.
