Efficiency is a pervasive yet insufficiently challenged managerial principle and an integral part of business school academia. However, while there is compelling evidence that efficiency gains can have severe undesirable social and ecological consequences that reduce overall welfare both in terms of well-being and natural resources, business school academsia remains ill-equipped to adequately unde
Att förstå komplexa och skiftande institutionella ramar har länge varit en viktig fråga inom socialvetenskaplig forskning. Nu mer än någonsin tidigare aktualiseras detta av den nya socialtjänstlagen som betonar tidiga socialarbetarinsatser som sker på frivillig basis och med förtroende som grund, medan andra delar av socialt arbete präglas av kontroll och disciplin. I ”Take Away-studien” har vi fö
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a central driver of bacterial evolution that utilises mobile genetic elements (MGEs) to enable the rapid acquisition and dissemination of genetic traits across microbial populations. Among these traits, defence systems against bacteriophages play a critical role in shaping host-parasite interactions and microbial community dynamics. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems, o
The decarbonisation of existing building stocks increasingly depends on renovation, with one-stop shops (OSS) emerging as prominent delivery models designed to reduce complexity and accelerate uptake. However, prevailing renovation strategies remain dominated by performance-oriented paradigms that prioritise modelled energy performance targets and efficiency ratios, understood in energy use per un
The EU Mission on Climate-neutral and Smart Cities aims to enable 100 European cities to become climate-neutral by 2030. However, climate change has the potential to intersect with, exacerbate, and create new patterns of urban injustices, making climate justice a key concern in urban climate governance. Nevertheless, research on the integration of climate justice into urban mitigation strategies a
Elbussar har blivit en allt vanligare syn i stadstrafiken de senaste åren. På kort tid har utvecklingen gått från enstaka fordon och testprojekt till elektrifiering av en betydande del av den svenska bussflottan. Elektrifiering av busstrafiken anses vara en viktig del i att nå mål om minskad klimatpåverkan och nollutsläpp, och kollektivtrafiken har kommit längre än andra delar av transportsektorn
Sweden is often regarded as one of the most progressive countries in terms of legislation and policies protecting the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) people. Such measures aim to promote wellbeing among LGBTQ individuals, who generally report more negative experiences compared to heterosexual cisgender people. Swedish legislation requires employers to take active measure
Background and AimsThe life expectancy of adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) has improved, thus shifting the research focus towards age-related comorbidities to continue to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to investigate all-cause mortality and recurrent acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in adults with and without congenital heart disease.MethodsA nationwide case control
Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 confer high risks of breast cancer. However, evidence suggests that these risks are modified by other genetic or environmental factors that cluster in families. A recent genome-wide association study has shown that common alleles at single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FGFR2 (rs2981582), TNRC9 (rs3803662), and MAP3K1 (rs889312) are associated with increas
BackgroundPediatric heart-lung transplantation (pHLTx) remains the only treatment option for children with significant and fixed elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of uncorrectable end-stage heart disease. We aimed to determine the characteristics, waiting list course and long-term outcomes for children listed for pHLTx within the Scandiatransplant region.MethodsThis w
Background and Objectives – Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is characterized by an amnestic- and limbic-predominant phenotype, which can mimic Alzheimer disease (AD). In a memory clinic cohort, we tested whether clinical criteria for LATE can detect a clinical profile of LATE that is distinct from AD.Methods – In this retrospective examination of a longitudinal memory c
Introduction – Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) is a chronic disease to vessels and nerves caused by vibrations. In Sweden, the medical check-up for vibrations (MCV) implements the EU surveillance system to detect early cases. No earlier research has shown participation in MCVs, nor why MCVs is avoided. We aimed to improve the understanding on avoidance of MCVs among vibration-exposed workers. M
This study presents an integrated simulation framework that combines agent-based transport modeling with probabilistic load-flow analysis to quantify power system loading of long-haul heavy-duty electrification. The approach is applied to a case study considering fully electrified road freight in the Skåne region in Sweden, using high-resolution transport demand data and the actual power grid mode
Introduction:Exclusive breastfeeding (EB) is globally recommended due to health benefits for women and their infants. Home-based postnatal midwifery care (HBPMC) is a model of care where midwives give in-home care during the first postnatal week. The study objectives were to investigate breastfeeding outcomes at two months after birth, in women and newborns receiving HBPMC, and to identify risk fa
The success of cell therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) depends on reliable differentiation of stem cells into functional pancreatic islets. Current protocols produce stem cell-derived islets (SC-islets) that contain non-endocrine cells and show limited maturity. We developed a robust protocol that generates functional SC-islets from all eight tested human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) lines. Differe
Executives recognize that communication is essential to organizational performance and value creation, yet corporate communication‘s specific contribution to value creation remains difficult to articulate. In this article, I introduce a conceptual framework with practical applications that clarifies how value is formed across the corporate communication management process – from identifying stakeh
Abstract: Before the introduction of prostate MRI, prostate cancer screening relied on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing followed by a systematic biopsy. Although this approach reduced prostate cancer mortality in large, randomized screening trials, its net benefit was questionable because of substantial overdiagnosis. In response, more precise screening tools have been developed. Diagnostic
Ambivalence is widely regarded as a source of ontological insecurity and anxiety due to its close association with uncertainty, undecidability, and indeterminacy. While ontological security studies (OSS) has usefully engaged with the concept of ambivalence as an epistemic phenomenon and its manifestations in international politics such as ‘strangers’, almost no attention has been paid to ambivalen
