Insight into important values that drive farmers' behaviour in intercropping adoption, a sustainable farming practice, can contribute to promoting the adoption. This paper investigates the role that values take in shaping farmers' decision to intercrop in Sweden. Specifically, drawing upon the means end chain (MEC) approach and laddering interviews, the paper explores how intercropping farmers, in their own words, describe the attributes of intercropping, consequences of those attributes, and the values achieved from those consequences. The paper found that yield improvement, good fodder and healthy soil were the most prominent perceived attributes. Cost reduction and profitability were perceived by farmers as the two most important consequences of intercropping. Results highlight that though both pecuniary and non-pecuniary values jointly shaped the decision to intercrop, the former is the stronger motivator for adopting decision. The existence of multifaceted values suggests that intercropping farmers have strived for not only viable farm businesses but also environmental protection, social responsibility, and the happiness in their faming occupation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17002,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Rural Studies","volume":"120 ","pages":"Article 103835"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We distinguish: (1) modern globalization in practices of regionally expanding functional systems, (2) postmodern globalization in practices of fluidly dispersing heterogeneous assemblages, and (3) reflexive modern globalization in practices of infrastructuring translocal networks. We illustrate these different ways of doing globalization with accounts of democratic innovation practices that seek to spread “mini-publics” as a new form of deliberative democracy. At first glance, this may appear to be the McDonaldization of democracy, referring to Ritzer’s model of globalization as a worldwide expansion of Western functionalist management and standardization. On closer inspection, however, we find that three different ways of doing globalization coexist, each associated with different ways of doing social order and space. We propose the ontographic approach to account for this diversity. We then suggest it as a more general approach to turn the confrontation of modern, postmodern, and reflexive modern theories of globalization into a heuristic repertoire for studying how different forms of globalization are done in practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12497,"journal":{"name":"Geoforum","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 104376"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144841667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Humans can rapidly invade new environments because they invent rather than inherit such behaviors, which cumulatively we call a culture. Downregulation of instincts makes the invention and learning of cultures necessary, which imposes both an opportunity and a burden on individuals and societies.

We argue that prevailing interpretations of 'lived experience' presume subjectivity and over-emphasise narratives of suffering, leading to tokenism and a false dichotomy between lived experience and professional or academic expertise. These issues can undermine the true value and breadth of knowledge held by disabled people. To address these limitations, we propose a crucial distinction between 'disability lived experience' - the personal, embodied experience of disability - and 'disability lived expertise', which synthesises lived experience with a deep knowledge of the history, concepts, rights and collective experiences of people with disability, the core values of the disabled community, and advocacy skills needed to redesign and reshape the social environment to enable people with disabilities to flourish. This distinction aims not to diminish disability lived experience, but to more accurately recognise and legitimise the developed expertise many disabled people bring to various fields.

Our analysis includes individuals aged 50-79 years who participated in the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) from Waves 2 through 9. We first estimate the prevalence of multimorbidity among person-years with each of eight chronic diseases and then compare the prevalence between native-born and immigrant populations by computing the relative risk. Overall, immigrants with chronic diseases have a higher prevalence of multimorbidity compared to native-born individuals with the condition, a trend typically more pronounced among women. In particular, both immigrant men and women have a pronounced risk of multimorbidity with stomach ulcers compared to their native-born counterparts. In subgroup analyses by regions of origin and residence, we find that immigrants from Eastern Europe or Asia/Oceania and those living in Northern Europe have particular disadvantages in multimorbidity to their native-born counterparts, especially for disease combinations that include stomach ulcers.
