The study aims to focus on the employees' experiences as well as practices of the leaders' leadership styles in rapidly changing environments to contribute to a deeper understanding of leadership combinations. Although research has been conducted regarding different leadership approaches, there is limited research that explores the understanding of how entrepreneurial leaders combine and a

The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet

This article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities. In doing so, the article introduces maintenance as its key concept, drawing on insights from maintenance studies and actor-network theory (ANT). Being both theoretically and empirically informed, maintenance means reconsiderinThis article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities.

As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental

This article aims to undertake a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of SSAB's investment in green steel production under the HYBRIT initiative, focusing on the implications of operating within the EU Emission Trade System and an illustrative scenario employing a carbon tax. The study evaluates profitability and social benefits, utilizing time series models to forecast electricity prices in di

The aim of the study is to analyze how the concept of sportswashing is understood within the context of international championship, as a tool for authoritarian states to legitimize anti-democratic values. To achieve this, a case study was made illustrating how the concept of sportswashing can be understood, both in theory and in practice, in connection to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Addition

För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vid

PFAAs emission to the environment represents a potential risk to human health. Although, long-term global scale fate and transport models have been used to investigate potential trends in environmental levels, temporal trends and transports mechanisms of PFAAs are not fully understood. Due to high solubility in water, the behaviour of PFAAs in soil is important for environmental fate estimation an

Denna studie analyserar tillämpningen av artikel 22 i Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) på kreditupplysningsverksamhetens kreditbedömning i form av kreditbetyg. Fokus är att identifiera juridiska möjligheter och utmaningar i dessa processer. Särskild vikt läggs vid transparensbestämmelserna i artiklarna 13–15 i GDPR. Automatiserade verktyg för kreditupplysningar är baseThis study analyzes the application of Article 22 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (GDPR) to the credit assessment practices of the credit reporting businesses in the form of credit score. The main focus is on identifying the legal opportunities and challenges in these processes. Particular attention is paid to the transparency provisions in Articles 13–15

Decision biases reinforce firms’ tendency to develop innovations based on narrow economic motivations. Consequently, sustainability-oriented ideas explicitly targeting social and environmental issues are easily discarded in idea selection when trade-offs between economic and sustainability values are faced. Given the so far limited knowledge about how sustainability-oriented ideas are developed an

A total of 2090 patients with endometrial carcinoma were followed-up for at least five years. The treatment modalities, as well as the results of treatment, regarding 272 patients with disease relapse are presented. The results are not encouraging. We found no statistically significant difference regarding overall survival, when the patients were divided according to initial stage or ploidy status

OBJECTIVES: Prioritisation in healthcare is an issue of growing importance due to scarcity of resources. The aims of this study were firstly to describe decision makers' experience of prioritisation and their views concerning willingness to pay and how to finance healthcare costs. An additional aim was to compare the views of politicians and physicians. METHODS: The study was a cross-sectional stu

The severity of lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) may be related to the type of mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, and to environmental and immunological factors. Since pulmonary disease is the main determinant of morbidity and mortality in CF, it is important to identify factors that can explain and predict this variation. The aim of this longitudi
