This article draws on theories of normative control and critical management studies to investigate caseworkers’ strategies in correspondence to a new leadership philosophy in the Swedish Public Employment Service called self-leadership. Based on 43 interviews and observations at two local offices, we find that managerial models are arbitrary and cause uncertainty at the local level as caseworkers

Calcium isotopes (δ44/40Ca) are particularly useful in palaeo-environmental studies due to the key role of carbonate minerals in continental weathering and their formation in seawater. The calcium isotope ratio can provide hints on past changes in the calcium fluxes, environmental shifts, ecological factors and alternatively diagenesis of carbonate rocks. The investigation of the Late Triassic cal

Social media are increasingly important tools in diplomacy. Diplomats are expected to use social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to communicate with each other and with both domestic and international publics. This form of communication involves displaying positive emotions to generate attention in a competitive information environment. Emotions are essential to managing pe

We revisit the possibility that dark matter is composed of stable scalar glueballs of a confining dark SU(3) gauge theory coupled only to gravity. The relic abundance of dark glueballs is studied for the first time in a thermal effective theory accounting for strong-coupling dynamics. An important ingredient of our analysis is the use of an effective potential for glueballs that is fitted by latti

The rewriting of hagiographical texts was a common activity in Byzantium. From at least the ninth century until the end of the Byzantine era, ecclesiastical and non-ecclesiastical writers turned repeatedly to this form of writing, in some cases evidencing an astonishingly prolific textual output. Metaphrasis is the only word found in Byzantine titles to indicate a rewritten text but never used to

Deuterium quartet (Bruno Andersen - vevlira, Lisa Gerholm - Nyckelharpa, Fredric Bergström - vevlira, Katt Hernandez - F# violin) playing a composition/improvisation structure in Mimerlaven, at the Norberg festival. Tis work was made collaboratively.

In January of 2022, I made an installation event at Rönnells. I set larger speakers up on the balcony, and played three of the large-scale multi-channel compositions from this project– Skogen är bäst på bild, Vädersolsmodernitet and Vart ska dom ta vägen nu?–at a very much lowered volume. I made them hoping they could function both as concert pieces and as installations. The event at Rönnels prove

This study in ethnology is about birdwatching and birders through a female perspective. How female birders develop their skills through participation in an all-female network. These networks are designed specifically to cater and push women to take on higher positions of power in birder societies. The networks also offer a sense of community and a non-competitive form of birdwatching. In this stud

From legal positivism describing law through correctness and certainty to critical studies challenging law's formal truth-seeking by elaborating on its inevitable distance to experience, the relation of law to truth has been long discussed. Adopting a Foucauldian understanding of truth that depends on the deployment of various knowledges, this article focuses on the law's participation in truth-ma

OBJECTIVE: To investigate feasibility and target engagement of high-dose, add-on pramipexole treatment in anhedonic depression.METHOD: In this open-label pilot study, we included 12 patients with unipolar or bipolar, moderate-to-severe depression and with significant anhedonia symptoms. All patients were on a stable dose of one or a combination of antidepressants and/or mood stabilizers and receiv

Utan effektiva, energisnåla och specialanpassade chip riskerar både digitaliseringen och de energibesparingar som krävs för en grön omställning att undergrävas eller utebli. Sverige måste engagera sig i samarbeten om halvledarteknologi, skriver Erik Renström och Heiner Linke.

This chapter sets the scene for the Handbook by examining definitions of sustainable transport and explaining the rationale and structure of the book. The four parts of the book are outlined, including the brief that authors were given for their contributions to the book.

This paper investigates the outcomes of small-scale egalitarian language contact in an attempt to address whether different linguistic domains exhibit different degrees of stability and resistance to convergence among cohabitant speakers of Jahai and Jedek, two closely related Aslian (Austroasiatic) language varieties spoken in northern Peninsular Malaysia. Using nonparametric Bayesian mixture mod

Background: In the past decades, the incidence of obesity has increased worldwide. This disease is often accompanied with several comorbidities and therefore, surgeons and anesthesiologists should be prepared to provide optimal management for these patients. The aim of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to map the criteria and routines that are used by Swedish knee arthroplasty surgeons to

The aim of Copenhagen municipality to attract socio-economically strong residents with its green infrastructure strategy inspired the analysis which aimed to assess whether improving access green areas in the city has had any impact on socio-economic mobility of its residents. Additionally, the concerns of potential displacement of socio-economically weaker residents warranted consideration of how

IntroductionIn this follow-up study, cerebral microvascular formations termed ‘raspberries’ were quantified according to cerebral atherosclerosis (C-ASCL) and acute circulatory failure (ACF). We also examined the regional distribution of raspberries throughout the brain.Materials and methodsThe study population consisted of adult individuals who had undergone a diagnostic neuropathological autopsy
