Importance of the Geocoding Level for Historical Demographic Analyses : A Case Study of Rural Parishes in Sweden, 1850–1914

Geocoding longitudinal and individual-level historical demographic databases enables novel analyses of how micro-level geographic factors affected demographic outcomes over long periods. However, such detailed geocoding involves high costs. Additionally, the high spatial resolution cannot be properly utilized if inappropriate methods are used to quantify the geographic factors. We assess how diffe

Evaluation of public transport: regional policies and planning practices in Sweden

This paper analyses regional public transport planning in Sweden. The aim is to provide an insight into how policy objectives are translated into action and to investigate how public transport measures are evaluated. The analysis is based on interviews with civil servants in five Swedish regions. Cost-benefit analysis is sparsely used (if ever) and the results further indicate that planning and ev

Återställandets konst Svenska frivilliga läkares erfarenheter av militärmedicin i utländska krig 1864–1964

Bakgrund: Sverige är besparat från direkt inblandning i krig sedan 200 år. Under samma tid har svenska läkare vid flera tillfällen medverkat i utländska konflikter. Samlade studier om dessa individer har hittills saknats.Frågeställning: Vad har motiverat svenska läkare att delta i utländska konflikters militärsjukvård? Vad har de uträttat och hur har de tolkat sina erfarenheter?Material: Studien i

Accounting for Durability in Least Life Cycle Cost Methods

In the European Union (EU), mandatory durability ecodesign requirements have recently been set for vacuum cleaners and lighting products. Durability standards for additional product groups are expected in the future and it is also envisioned that durability issues will be integrated in the EU energy labelling scheme. Durability standards can bring environmental benefits, but there are several meth

Governance and Risk–Value Constructions in Closing Loops of Rare Earth Elements in Global Value Chains

This article addresses a research gap on the challenges—specifically risk and value—connected to realizing the potential for closing loops for rare earth elements (REE). We develop an analytical framework from conceptual elements of the global value chain (GVC) framework and the relational theory of risk to examine several empirical REE industry cases for loop closure. The aim of the paper is to i
