This paper, building on new archival research and the social table method, presents comprehensive estimates of income inequality in Mexico in 1895, 1910, 1930 and 1940. Inequality grew from 1895 to 1910, driven by economic expansion within the context of an oligarchic economy. While real income increased for the lower classes during this period, the main beneficiaries were large landowners and ent

Trots att skuldproblemen i samhället eskalerar får överskuldsättning begränsad uppmärksamhet i svenskt socialt arbete. Detta beror sannolikt på att överskuldsättning ses som en privatekonomisk angelägenhet snarare än ett socialt problem. Artikeln tar upp perspektiv kring vardagslivets finansialisering och kredit- och konsumtionssamhället och bygger på exempel från intervjuer med unga vuxna som lev

Different rights regarding poor relief – a comparison between the level of reasonable living standards for financial support for the elderly and financial assistanceIn 2003, financial support for the elderly (ÄFS) was introduced in Sweden, which shifted the responsibility for older people in need of financial support from the municipalities to the state. Prior to the reform, the target group recei

Antologin Akilleshälar i välfärd, socialpolitik och socialt arbete under redaktörskap av Hans Swärd, seniorprofessor på Socialhögskolan vid Lunds universitet, och Alexandru Panican, professor på Institutionen för beteende-, social- och rättsvetenskap vid Örebro universitet, tar sin utgångspunkt i de allvarliga problem som den svenska välfärden står inför i en tid då de teoretiska och socialpolitis

This chapter presents Sweden’s national public funding of independent arts andcultural activities and compares it to Nordic grant schemes and the funding of arts and culture at the European Union level. The aim of the chapter is to compare the orientation of funding at the various levels. Speciically, the chapter describes and discusses differences and similarities in the goals for, and scope and

BackgroundAlkylresorcinols are a well-established biomarker for whole grain intake. There is evidence suggesting that total plasma alkylresorcinol concentration may also be used as a biomarker for gluten intake in adults.ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to evaluate if total alkylresorcinol concentration is a valid biomarker for gluten intake in young children.MethodsNon-fasting plasma alkylresorc

Pumpa hårt och parkera i skuggan. I Ringråd för längre ringliv ges anvisningar om hur man på bästa sätt tar hand om sin cykel. Broschyren publicerades 1942, mitt under brinnande världskrig. Det rådde brist på gummi och det som fanns måste användas till annat och viktigare saker än att ersätta slangar som slarviga cyklister fördärvat. I fokus för den här artikeln står cykelns och cyklandets betydel

Objectives: The enormous burden that cardiovascular diseases put on individuals and societies warrants reliable biomarkers of disease risk to optimize disease prevention. We studied longitudinal movement (LMov) in arterial walls using ultrasound of the common carotid artery (CCA). We believe that LMov could be a sensitive biomarker of cardiovascular health and in this study, we evaluate the intra-

Drug-induced cognitive impairment (DICI) is a well-established, yet under-recognised, complication of many types of pharmacological treatment. While there is a large body of scientific literature on DICI, most papers are about drug-induced dementia in the elderly and one specific drug class. However, DICI also comprises subclinical symptoms, domain-specific forms of cognitive impairment as well as

Volymen behandlar den nordafrikanska drottningen Sophinisba, maka till Syphax och Masinissa. Begick självmord liksom Dido och Cleopatra. Hennes öde har behandlats av bl a historikerna Livius och Appianos, och litterärt av Petrarca, Gian Giorgio Trissino, Georgios Chortatsis, Govert van der Eembd, Corneille, Calderón, Lohenstein och Gaudenzio Brunacci. Teoretiska modeller: Georg Brandes och Walter

This study bridges occupational health and innovation management by proposing psychosocial safety climate (PSC) as a key precondition for employee-driven innovation (EDI). EDI emphasises employees’ unique potential to generate and implement innovative ideas, with conducive working conditions, particularly those supporting psychological health, being crucial. Using a mixed-method explanatory design

Purpose: Hyperoxemia is common in patients resuscitated after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and may increase the risk of mortality. However, the effect of hyperoxemia on functional outcome, specifically related to the timing of exposure to hyperoxemia, remains unclear. Methods: The secondary analysis of the Target Temperature Management 2 (TTM-2) r

Photonic solutions are potentially highly competitive for energy-efficient neuromorphic computing. However, a combination of specialized nanostructures is needed to implement all neuro-biological functionality. Here, we show that donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct dyes integrated with III-V semiconductor nano-optoelectronics have combined excellent functionality for bio-inspired neural networks. The

This document is created within the research project Nordic Fire and Rescue Services in the Twenty First Century (FIRE21). In this project, the fire and rescue services are seen as both governed by, and dependent on, formal and informal networks. A fundamental assumption in the research project is that efficient emergency management is dependent on efficient problem-solving in these networks. As a
