Landless crofters, the subaltern, and those who lost their land in inheritance cases. In the poor houses, in the city slums. What did it mean not to own land and the vital rights that were connected to it? How could crofters influence their lives or their financial situations?

A large-scale study reveals that Swedish teenagers who spend a lot of time playing video games excel when it comes to knowing many words in English. Compared to their non-gaming peers, the gamers score significantly higher for particularly difficult words. The study also concludes that the time played is more important than the type of game played for predicting vocabulary scores.

This now-finished project was funded by the Swedish Research Council (grant no. 2016-01521) and was conducted by KuFo researcher Anna Swärdh.
The purpose of this three-year project is to examine the highly rhetorical culture of early modern English patronage through cultural imprints left by Helena, Marchioness of Northampton (1549–1635).
We are happy to welcome Kristin Svärd, new PhD student in Business Administration at Karlstad Business School. Kristin will be placed at CTF, Service Research Center, and she is also part of the Swedish Research School of Management and IT, MIT.

In 2018, researchers at CTF were awarded 4.6 million SEK from the KK Foundation for research on servitization in manufacturing companies - to develop a reference model to create a better understanding of how servitization is done in practice.
The purpose of the project was to create understanding and knowledge about servitization and how this process can be translated into practice and provide competitive advantages.
The project ServzChall was funded by the KK Foundation, Karlstad University a
How do we increase the pace of the transition to a sustainable bioeconomy? What are the driving forces and what do the challenges look like? Some are about innovation and new technological solutions, but equally important is to change rules and frameworks at the global, national and regional level. That people need to meet and exchange knowledge, experiences and build networks is a necessity.

Physics is the original study of nature, primarily about matter, forces and energy. Today it is the foundation of most technologies and in its applications it is often associated with the other natural sciences and with, for example, medicine.
The aim of physics is to be able to describe the fundamental structures and laws of nature, and through these, achieve knowledge of physical reality, as well as practical applications.
