I Ekonomisk Debatt nummer 5 2023 publicerade vi en artikel där vi studeradeorsakerna bakom kronförsvagningen mot euron (Andersson och Jonung2023). Eftersom kronan tappat i värde över en längre tid valde vi ett långsiktigt perspektiv. Här utgick vi från Cassels köpkraftsparitetsteori och visadeatt svenska priser och nominella löner stigit snabbare än i euroområdet. Kronförsvagningen är ett resultat

Shared socio-economic pathways (SSPs) and shared policy assumptions (SPAs) are lauded as a common basis for climate scenario research across disciplines, yet they lack essential legal and governance elements that are indispensable when assessing future development pathways. This article sets out to address this shortcoming by explaining the interrelated but distinct features of law and governance

Preventing relapse into violence and its destructive consequences among persistent re-offenders is a primary concern in forensic settings. The Risk-Need-Responsivity framework models the best current practice for offender treatment, focused on building skills and changing pro-criminal cognitions. However, treatment effects are often modest, and the forensic context can obstruct the delivery of int

High levels of ADAM17 activity have emerged as an important mediator in severe COVID-19. This study aims to characterize eventual causal relationships between ADAM17 and COVID-19. Using Mendelian randomization analyses, we examined the causal effects of circulating ADAM17 on COVID-19 outcomes using summary statistics from large, genome-wide association studies of ADAM17 (up to 35,559 individuals)

Deterrence and resilience are intimately connected. Deterrence is about understanding threats and using levers that might force an adversary to reconsider their objectives and actions against you. Resilience is about understanding yourself and the measures you can take to become a less attractive target, or to bounce back more quickly from a setback. This combination of deterrence and resilience h

The study of yield gaps has become more complex, prompting the use of varied approaches to measure yields and a wider range of factors to explain these gaps. In the Global North, the focus is on precision farming, whereas in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a broader perspective is necessary due to pronounced variability in farmland conditions. While biogeophysical and management factors have been tradit

The inherent diversity of approaches in proteomics research has led to a wide range of software solutions for data analysis. These software solutions encompass multiple tools, each employing different algorithms for various tasks such as peptide-spectrum matching, protein inference, quantification, statistical analysis, and visualization. To enable an unbiased comparison of commonly used bottom-up

”Han talte de om som en hjälte” examines the use of parody and satire in the Swedish comedy series S*M*A*S*H (1990) and Pistvakt (1998–2000) as well as the feature film Pistvakt – En albinovästern från de vita vidderna (2005).

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are important for ensuring the integrity of the germline. 3'-terminal 2'-O-methylation is essential for piRNA maturation and to protect them from degradation. HENMT1 (HEN Methyltransferase 1) carries out the 2'-O-methylation, which is of key importance for piRNA stability and functionality. However, neither the structure nor the catalytic mechanism of mammalian HENMT

In Sweden, the governance of healthcare is decentralized, so PC is provided with regional or local differences in organization, level of competence, and recourses. Ongoing regional and national initiative to increase quality of pediatric palliative care in Sweden aligns with the international standard of pediatric palliative care as a care directed towards all children with life-threatening or lif

Prostate cancer is the predominant cause of cancer in men, but there is still a lack of biomarkers and treatments for metastatic spread. The initial promise of microRNAs to provide avenues to solve these problems has been dampened by the realisation that microRNAs co-exist in multiple functionally distinct isoforms, for example due to A-to-I editing. We recently found that A-to-I-editing of microR

The early career professionals in the field of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) face unique challenges and hurdles while establishing their careers in the field. The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) has expanded the role of the early career section within the society to foster the careers of future CMR leaders. This paper aims to describe the obstacles and available oppo

In 1617, after seven years of war between Sweden and Russia and talks facilitated by English and Dutch diplomats, the peace treaty of Stolbovo was signed. This important but little-studied document was to form the basis for relationships between Sweden and Russia for the next one hundred years, before it was replaced by the Peace of Nystad in 1721, and it had a huge influence on the lives of the p

I denna artikel studerar vi upplevelser av makt hos regionala utvecklingsledare i svenska regionala stöd- och samverkansstrukturer (RSS) inom statens styrning av socialtjänsten. Artikeln besvarar två frågor: 1) utvecklingsledarnas erfarenheter av makt i vertikala och horisontella styrrationaliteter i statlig kunskapsstyrning, och 2) vilken betydelse dessa erfarenheter har för deras förståelse av s

Med utgångspunkt i historiska och empiriska beskrivningar av offentliga och privata badanläggningar i Japan undersöker denna artikel kulturella betydelser i japanska badvanor. Genom att undersöka nakenhet och varmt vatten som förmedlare av närhet och intim socialitet i Japan, utmanar artikeln gränserna mellan den privata och offentliga sfären och det intima och sociala. Artikeln visar att badvanorBased on historical and empirical descriptions of bathing practice in public bath-houses and private bathing facilities in Japan, this article examines cultural meanings embedded in Japanese bathing practice. The article explores the relation between Japanese bathing practice and notions of the private and the public spheres as well as intimacy and sociality. By studying naked skin and hot water a

The role of consumers in a circular economy (CE) is crucial but not well understood in the literature. For consumers to become catalysts in a CE, people need to understand how and under what conditions circular consumption is made possible. This chapter conceptualises the sociomaterial assembling of circular consumption, which refers to the process in which heterogeneous elements – meanings, mater
