Disability scholars have recently proposed that republican theory is relevant to think about justice in relation to disability. Following in their footsteps, this article submits that the republican conception of freedom as non-domination provides a fresh angle to legitimise disability rights in terms of justice and prevent their interpretation as charity or privileges. This proposition takes its
This chapter starts with outlining a degrowth vision for social-ecological transformation. It then traces the existing discussion on strategy in the degrowth movement and explains why it is important to think about strategy. Its key contribution is a conceptualiation strategy, which builds on and is closely aligned with our understanding of degrowth. Finally, it introduces the book and its structu
Syftet med det här kapitlet är att belysa grundläggande villkor för organiseringen av diakonala insatser i Svenska kyrkans församlingar. Vi kommer i första hand fokusera på sådana villkor som rör verksamheten i sig men teologiska förutsättningar berörs också. Vi kommer att konstatera att det i stort saknas riktlinjer för organiseringen av församlingarnas diakoni. Arbetets organisering skiljer sig
Degrowth is a counter-hegemonic movement that has the ambitious aim of transforming society towards social and ecological justice. But how do we get there? That is the question this book addresses. Adhering to the multiplicity of degrowth whilst also arguing that strategic prioritisation and coordination are key, Degrowth & Strategy advances the debate on strategy for social-ecological transfo
BACKGROUND: There has been a growing body of evidence associating consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) with adverse health outcomes including depression, cardiovascular disease, all-cause mortality. However, whether UPF are associated with dementia is unknown. The authors investigated the associations between UPF and dementia incidence in UK biobank.METHODS: We included 72,083 participants (
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate if ilio-femoral calcium score (CS) combined with Glasgow Aneurysm Score (GAS) can improve the prediction of long-term survival after EVAR.METHODS: All the patients who underwent infrarenal endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for non-ruptured AAA between January 2004 and December 2012 at a tertiary referral center were retrospectively included if the p
Sjögren's disease is a complex autoimmune disease with twelve established susceptibility loci. This genome-wide association study (GWAS) identifies ten novel genome-wide significant (GWS) regions in Sjögren's cases of European ancestry: CD247, NAB1, PTTG1-MIR146A, PRDM1-ATG5, TNFAIP3, XKR6, MAPT-CRHR1, RPTOR-CHMP6-BAIAP6, TYK2, SYNGR1. Polygenic risk scores yield predictability (AUROC = 0.71) and
När Svenska kyrkan, den gamla lutherska statliga institutionen för tro och tillhörighet, ges ny inramning i ett välfärdssamhälle som förändras – förändras då även bilden av kyrkans sociala ansvarstagande?I detta kapitel är ambitionen att beskriva Svenska kyrkans roll i förhållande först till ”välfärdsstaten” och sedan till den välfärdsmix eller den ”välfärdspluralism” som präglar förhållandena ida
I dagens välfärdspluralism antar idéburna organisationer roller som gemenskapsbyggare, röstbärare och serviceleverantörer. Det socialpolitiska landskapet är under ständig förändring – något som påverkar kyrkan och dess diakonala arbete. I kyrklig diakoni ryms praktik och reflektion, teologisk och socialpolitisk. Hur gestaltas detta? Vilka verksamheter prioriteras, hur organiseras och leds det diak
Att rapportera resultat ser de flesta i dagens samhälle som en självklar plikt. Många offentligfinansierade verksamheter styrs enligt en marknadslogik som bygger på kontraktsbaserade uppdrag som bland annat innebär en granskning av hur skattemedlen används. Redovisning sker genom mer eller mindre ingående kontroll med syftet att säkra den kvalitet man beställt och att visa att eftersträvade result
BACKGROUND: The widespread use of intramedullary nails (IMNs) compared with sliding hip screws (SHSs) in extracapsular hip fractures (AO/OTA 31-A1, 31-A2, 31-A3) has been questioned because of a higher complication rate, although the outcome might have improved through more recent implant designs and the learning curve. This study aimed to investigate if there is a difference with regard to the cu
Vocabulary experts recommend first language (L1) translation equivalents for establishing form–meaning mappings for new second language (L2) words, especially for lower proficiency learners. Empirical evidence to date speaks in favor of L1 translation equivalents over L2 meaning definitions, but most studies have investigated bi- rather than multilingual learners. In our study, we investigated ins
Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) more often think about, attempt, and die by suicide than individuals from the general population. Sexual and religious obsessions (i.e., taboo obsessions) have been linked to increased risk of suicidality, but it is unclear if they explain additional risk over and above other risk factors. We refined the recently proposed multidimensional hierar
