This chapter on country of origin information (COI) draws on the semi-structured interviews I have been conducting between the years 2014 and 2022 with the responsible decision makers of the Swedish welfare state: migration court judges. By applying Spivak’s concept of ‘epistemic violence’ in my qualitative content analysis of ten of these interviews, I problematise the COI that judges apply when

During the 1930s financial crisis, Central bank of Sweden (Riksbank) actively intervened the liquidity of banks and the market through a range of monetary operations. The monetary policies combined with the devaluation of currency, was regarded as a crucial factor that led to the quick and strong recovery of Sweden. By making use of the balance sheets of the whole banking system, this paper explor

Wildfire danger indices, or fire danger rating systems, are widely used to inform decision-making related to wildfire risk management. Several studies have compared different indices’ performance; however, results have shown that this varies in different parts of the world. Further, many of these indices have not yet been assessed for Swedish conditions. In this study, four different weather-based

Artikeln behandlar det rättsliga regelverket kring prioriteringsplattformeni svensk hälso- och sjukvård. Av intresse är de rättsliga gränsernaför prioriteringsplattformen i en kris likt coronapandemin. Krisen haräven aktualiserat frågan om prioriteringsbeslut kan bli föremål för domstolsprövning.Möjligheten att prioriteringsbeslut kan bli föremål fördomstolsprövning undersöks utifrån perspektivet

The upper elevational limits of vegetation growth in global high-mountains have been the focus for monitoring and assessment of climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. However, existing studies have relied on field surveys that do not allow for large-scale analysis. Although remote sensing data have been used for local and regional monitoring of the vegetation upper boundaries, a global

Cumulative impacts increasingly threaten marine and coastal ecosystems. To address this issue, the research community has invested efforts on designing and testing different methodological approaches and tools that apply cumulative impact appraisal schemes for a sound evaluation of the complex interactions and dynamics among multiple pressures affecting marine and coastal ecosystems. Through an it

Despite growing insight into customers' brand experience, its effect on brand evangelism, or a customer's intense brand support behavior, remains tenuous, exposing an important literature-based gap. Addressing this gap, we adopt a Service-Dominant logic/Consumer Culture Theory perspective to uncover how customers' brand experience dimensions drive their evangelistic behavior for luxury hotels. Add

Boreal forests and peatlands store over 30% of the global terrestrial carbon in their vegetation and soil. but changing climate can compromise the current carbon stock. Rising air temperatures, changing precipitation patterns and increased risk of natural disturbances can impact the ability of the boreal ecosystems to absorb and store carbon, reducing their effectiveness as carbon sinks. Reliable

Den första enkäten i den Svenska Handelslogistik-panelen visar på flera trender som påverkar handelsföretag och framtida automatisering av lager. Rapporten pekar på en fortsatt snabb tillväxt både vad gäller omsättning, sortimentsstorlek och sortimentsbredd.

Den andra enkäten i den Svenska Handelslogistik-panelen understryker lagrets strategiska betydelse för att möta förväntningar från kunder, och visar på flera intressanta trender för utveckling och automatisering av handelns logistiknätverk och lager. Vi undersökte vilka strategiska logistikutmaningar som är viktigast för lagret i dagsläget och fem år framåt.

Escherichia coli CspA is an RNA binding protein that accumulates during cold-shock and stimulates translation of several mRNAs-including its own. Translation in the cold of cspA mRNA involves a cis-acting thermosensor element, which enhances ribosome binding, and the trans-acting action of CspA. Using reconstituted translation systems and probing experiments we show that, at low temperature, CspA

The food industry occupies a large portion of the plate in the study of moral markets. Moral markets for food include fair trade goods, organic products, family farmers initiatives, as well as plant-based meat alternatives, the focus of this paper. Driven by a growing concern for animal welfare, sustainability and the responsible use of resources, various companies launched products that successfu

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present study is to investigate the feasibility of using heart rate characteristics to estimate atrial fibrillatory rate (AFR) in a cohort of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients continuously monitored with an implantable cardiac monitor (ICM). We will use a mixed model approach to investigate population effect and patient specific effects of heart rate characteristics

Psychosocial treatments improve outcome in Pediatric bipolar disorder (PBD), but few are developed specifically for adolescents and none has been evaluated in Europe. This study evaluates family-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy for adolescents (ages 13-18) with PBD in routine psychiatric care in Sweden, adapted for teenagers in a European setting from the Child and Family-Focused Cognitive Beh
