Whole System in the Room : Toward Systems Integration in Healthcare
How might systems integration be furthered in healthcare? The paper addresses this by exploring critically the potentials of appreciative inquiry for accelerating systems integration through a large group intervention. We analyze a one-day dialog workshop to get “the whole system in the room” to improve cancer care in a regional health authority in south west Sweden. Seeing systems integration as
Decline in executive functions and speed in suspected low-grade gliomas : A 3-year follow-up of a clinical cohort
Changes over time in information processing speed and executive functions (EFs) were studied in patients with suspected low-grade gliomas (LGG) 3 years after diagnosis. Using a person-oriented approach, the study aimed at focusing solely on two cognitive domains known to be significant in the understanding of the impact of white matter diseases. The Barkley’s hybrid model of EFs was used as a theo
Deprescribing in polypharmacy : A process to evaluate, question and terminate drug treatment in the elderly
Application of Tunable Diode Laser Spectroscopy for the Assessment of Food Quality
Adequate food packaging is important to ensure food quality and prolong the shelf life of food. Frequently, the method of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is used. We used a tunable diode laser spectroscopy technique to detect the oxygen content in food packages, e.g., in packaged milk and bread. Different detection geometries were adopted to be able to collect scattering light that had passed
The Corporatization of the Business School : Minerva Meets the Market
With business schools becoming increasingly market-driven, questionable trends have emerged, such as the conflation of academic and corporate management, and the notion that academics and students are market players, who respond rationally to market signals.Using individual studies from leading scholars in a variety of disciplines and countries, this book identifies the global pressures behind the
Allan Kastrup and the Swedish-American Connection
Paper on Allan Kastrup and his role in Swedish public diplomacy in the United States 1945-1970.

The role of urban-based agriculture on food security : Kenyan case studies
Kenya is rapidly urbanising. In the growing cities and towns, there is an increasing need for food supplies, creating demand for agricultural products. High unemployment rates, urban poverty, and food and nutrition insecurity force some urban dwellers to partly adopt livelihood strategies based on urban agriculture. Presently in Kenya, urban and peri-urban agriculture plays an important role in ur

Evolution of antigenic diversity in the tick-transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii : a role for host specialization?
Antigenic diversity in pathogenic microbes can be a result of at least three different processes: diversifying selection by acquired immunity, host–pathogen coevolution and/or host specialization. Here, we investigate whether host specialization drives diversity at ospC (which encodes an immunodominant surface protein) in the tick-transmitted bacterium Borrelia afzelii. We determined prevalence an
The Wealth of the Richest : Inequality and the Nobility in Sweden, 1750–1900
The role of the European nobility and their ability to retain their political and economic power are part of the debate on the modernization of the European economy. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the wealth of the Swedish nobility as Sweden evolved from an agrarian to an industrial economy. We use a sample of 200+ probate inventories of nobles for each of the benchmark year
Evidence-based interventions involving occupational therapists are needed in re-ablement for older community-living people : A systematic review
Introduction Re-ablement services are in a period of strong development, but the terms and definitions used remain unclear, and the scientific evidence is still weak. The aim of this systematic review was to obtain an overview of the scientific literature in this evolving research area, and investigate whether there is scientific evidence for positive effects of re-ablement services for older comm
A quantum description of the Stern-Gerlach experiment
A detailed analysis of the classic Stern-Gerlach experiment is presented. An analytical simple solution is presented for the quantum description of the translational and spin dynamics of a silver atom in a magnetic field with a gradient along a single z-direction. This description is then used to obtain an approximate quantum description of the more realistic case with a magnetic field gradient al
Saving Super-Earths : Interplay between Pebble Accretion and Type i Migration
Overcoming type I migration and preventing low-mass planets from spiralling into the central star is a long-studied topic. It is well known that outward migration is possible in viscously heated disks relatively close to the central star because the entropy gradient can be sufficiently steep for the positive corotation torque to overcome the negative Lindblad torque. Yet efficiently trapping plane
Ger målrelaterad ersättning till vårdcentraler en lämpligare förskrivning av antibiotika?
Antibiotikaresistenta bakterier är en allvarlig och växande utmaning för hälso och sjukvården i hela världen. I denna artikel studerar vi om målrelaterad ersättning (MRE) kan påverka förskrivningen så att läkare i första hand väljer antibiotika som i lägre grad bidrar till resistensutvecklingen. Åtta svenska landsting införde under 2009–12 MRE för vårdcentraler, i syfte att förändra förskrivningen
Sekulär stagnation – vad är det, finns det och hur påverkar det penningpolitiken?
Världsekonomin har kämpat i motvind under en längre tid. Trots expansiv penningpolitik är den genomsnittliga tillväxttakten lägre än tidigare. Finanskrisen 2008 och dess inverkan på ekonomin är en del av förklaringen, men den kan inte förklara allt. Trenden i tillväxten har pekat nedåt sedan slutet av 1990-talet.

Repeated Structural Imaging Reveals Nonlinear Progression of Experience-Dependent Volume Changes in Human Motor Cortex
Evidence for experience-dependent structural brain change in adult humans is accumulating. However, its time course is not well understood, as intervention studies typically consist of only 2 imaging sessions (before vs. after training).We acquired up to 18 structural magnetic resonance images over a 7-week period while 15 right-handed participants practiced left-hand writing and drawing. After 4
