Den nya ekonomin har inspirerat till djärva utsagor om vår ekonomiska framtid. Här granskas fem sådana utifrån ett historiskt perspektiv. Hur påverkar den nya ekonomin följande fem fenomen: konjunkturcykeln, de ekonomiska kriserna, inflationen, stabiliseringspolitiken samt den svenska modellen? Svaren är förvisso preliminära men pekar på att den nya ekonomin på vissa områden inte leder till någon
Mellan 1873 och 1924 ingick Sverige i en valutaunion tillsammans med Danmark och Norge – den skandinaviska myntunionen (SMU) byggd på den gemen- samma valutaenheten – kronan. Denna artikel belyser tillkomsten, effekterna och upplösningen av den skandinaviska myntunionen samt jämför den med EMU. Ett medlemskap i EMU kräver mer av ekonomisk och politisk anpassning än vad ett medlemskap i SMU gjorde
Key Messages:•The realisation of a Circular Economy will require first and foremost new business models•‘Circular’ business models will usually require policy support in order to scale up due to the barriers they encounter•Policy interventions include both traditional and non-traditional approaches•More research is needed to examine what policy interventions ‘circular’ businesses n
PurposeTo provide an employee perspective on ambassadorship in the context of corporate communication, the purpose of this paper is to explore how employees relate to and experience ambassadorship.Design/methodology/approachThe study has a qualitative approach, and the empirical material consists of semi-structured interviews with, and focus groups of, employees of seven organizations in both the
In this interview, Michèle Lamont discusses her intellectual trajectory in relation to other sociologists and research fields. The starting point is her relationship to Bourdieu’s field theory in 1980s Paris. She describes how her empirically grounded work developed as a critique of Bourdieu’s oeuvre yet draws heavily on it. A common thread in her work is a focus on social and symbolic boundaries In this interview, Michèle Lamont discusses her intellectual trajectory in relation to other sociologists and research fields.

Vapor phase polymerization (VPP) is used to fabricate a series of tosylate-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) electrodes on carbon paper. The series of VPP PEDOT/tosylate coatings has varying levels of crystallinity and electrical conductivity because of the use (or not) of nonionic triblock copolymers in the oxidant solution during synthesis. As a result, the impact of the structure o
Gender equality is widely accepted as an important explanatory factor for the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women. However, the relationship is not straightforward, as high country-level gender equality is not always associated with lower IPV prevalence. We apply ‘multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy’ (MAIHDA) to (i) quantify the exten
IGF-1 is an essential regulator of fetal growth and brain development. Preterm birth in the human is followed by a rapid decrease in serum levels of IGF-1 and decreased levels of IGF-1 have been associated with development of severemorbidity. A recent clinical trial indicated that supplementation with IGF-1 prevented development of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm infa
Vehicle traffic management is becoming more complex due to increased traffic density in cities. Novel solutions are necessary for emergency vehicles, which despite growing congestion must be able to quickly reach their destination. Emergency vehicles are usually equipped with transmitters to control the traffic lights on their path and warn other vehicles with sirens. Transmitters are operated man
Assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain requires the coordinated synthesis of mitochondrial and nuclear encoded subunits, redox co-factor acquisition, and correct joining of the subunits to form functional complexes. The conserved Cbp3-Cbp6 chaperone complex binds newly synthesized cytochrome b and supports the ordered acquisition of the heme co-factors. Moreover, it functions as a transla
BACKGROUND: Noroviruses are the major cause of viral gastroenteritis. Disease transmission is difficult to prevent and outbreaks in healthcare facilities commonly occur. Contact with infected persons and contaminated environments are believed to be the main routes of transmission. However, noroviruses have recently been found in aerosols and airborne transmission has been suggested. The aim of our
