Leadership and strategy in a transforming academic field

The welfare state that wanted to keep track of its citizens : Personal identity numbers as administrative technology

The development of the Swedish welfare state is often characterized by several comprehensive social reforms and organizational changes. In previous research, as in the previous chapters of this book, scholars often tend to direct their interest towards these reforms. Often left out are the tacit administrative technological infrastructures that enabled these. The Swedish social security number, th

Memory Studies : The State of an Emergent Field

The article explores the degree to which memory studies has become established as an academic field. Although we acknowledge that there are drawbacks to formal institutionalization, we contend that it is useful to think strategically about the future of memory studies.

Experimental and Clinical Studies on Contact Allergy to Diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate and Related Substances

The exposure to isocyanates is more of an occupational problem than a consumer problem. The main route of exposure is assumed to be through inhalation. Isocyanates that have high vapor pressure, such as TDI, can be airborne at room temperature. Other isocyanates such as MDI are volatile only when heated. Industrial processes that can cause exposure to isocyanates are, for example, spraying or heat

Gender differences in subtypes of depression by first incidence and age of onset : a follow-up of the Lundby population

The Lundby Study is a prospective mental health survey in a community population (N = 3563), in which data were collected in 4 waves of field-work between 1947 and 1997. We investigated gender differences during the follow-up in overall first incidence rates, ages of onset, and incidence by age of onset patterns, in different subtypes of depression. The overall incidence rate in females was higher
