Objectives There is evidence that emergency department (ED) crowding is associated with increased mortality, however large multicenter studies of high quality are scarce. In a prior study, we introduced a proxy-measure for crowding that was associated with increased mortality. The national registry SVAR enables us to study the association in a more heterogenous group of EDs with more recent data.

Aims: Randomized clinical trials have consistently demonstrated the non-inferiority of bioabsorbable polymer drug-eluting stents (BP-DES) with respect to DES having permanent polymers (PP-DES). To date, the comparative performance of BP- and PP-DES in the real world has not been extensively investigated. Methods and results: From October 2011 to June 2016, we analysed the outcomes associated with

The new public diplomacy is a major paradigm shift in international political communication. Globalisation and a new media landscape challenge traditional foreign ministry ‘gatekeeper’ structures, and foreign ministries can no longer lay claim to being sole or dominant actors in communicating foreign policy. This demands new ways of communicating foreign policy to a range of nongovernmental intern

In this paper we examine health among breast cancer 5-year survivors. We raise two questions: (1) how do the health level of this survival group compare to the health level of the general population; and (2) how have the health levels among these survivors changed over time. We found that 5-year breast cancer survivors assess their health lower than the general population, and that having being di

The study of the migratory trajectories of high skilled migrants has been a topic of enquiry for decades; nevertheless, in practice, these have not been studied in-depth. Therefore, acknowledging this research gap, this thesis aims to explore the experiences of non-EU high skilled migrants when integrating into the labour market in the context of Sweden. This is of particular relevance given that

The purpose of our study is to map the expectations, managerial preferences and motivation triggers of young nurses and nurse-assistants.The authors of this study compare the results to existing relevant literature in order to gain a deeper understanding of the managerial challenges faced in order to fit the demands of the recruitment, retainment and motivation of healthcare workers. A qualitative

This paper examines the impact of Germany’s 9-Euro-Ticket and itssuccessor, the German Ticket (49 €), on public transportation usage,environmental benefits, and social equity, while exploring the feasibility ofimplementing a similar model in Sweden. The 9-Euro-Ticket, introduced in2022 as a temporary measure to alleviate economic strain from rising energycosts, significantly increased public trans
