This paper revisits the Swedish banking crisis (1919-26) that materialized as post war deflation replaced wartime inflation (1914-18). Inspired by Fisher’s ‘debt deflation theory’, we employ survival analysis to ‘predict’ which banks would fail, given certain ex-ante bank characteristics. Our tests support the theory; maturity structures mattered most in a regime of falling prices, with vulnerable

Shaw’s Pygmalion is commonly thought of as an adaptation of the myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who fell in love with his own sculpture. However, the name of “Pygmalion” in ancient mythology is shared by Dido’s brother, Pygmalion of Tyre. This article suggests Pygmalion as playing with these two mythological Pygmalions by moving through the play from the myth of Pygmalion the Cypriot sculptor to t

By relying on theory from sociology of law and data feminism, this study showcases the norms guiding development in human-robot interaction. This qualitative study consists of an ethnography of the HRI conference 2021 and expert interviews which were merged and analysed using an ethnographic content analysis method on NVivo. The socio-legal data feminist lens enables to pinpoint the lack of clear

We investigate how the anticipation of COVID-19 vaccines affects voluntary social distancing. In a large-scale preregistered survey experiment with a representative sample, we study whether providing information about the safety, effectiveness, and availability of COVID-19 vaccines affects the willingness to comply with public health guidelines. We find that vaccine information reduces peoples’ vo

Capolac is a product containing hydroxyapatite (HA) from Arla Food Ingredients, to be used for calcium fortification. The adsorption of casein and whey proteins onto the Capolac was investigated, aiming to solve the sedimentation problem of this insoluble calcium phosphate. The adsorption of casein from sodium caseinate (SC) and whey protein from whey protein isolate (WPI) was first analyzed wit

Background and Objective: Waste in clinical trials remains rife. We developed an economic model to predict the cost of trials based on input costs, duration, power, number of sites, recruitment eligibility and consenting rates. Methods: We parameterised the model for three proxy placebo-controlled surgical trials using data from a systematic review, a bespoke cost survey, and from the literature.

Att träna samspel mellan politik och förvaltning kan vara en god idé efter val. Ett sätt att göra detta är att diskutera case tillsammans. Med utgångspunkt i forskning om styrning av offentlig sektor och case pedagogikens fördelar diskuterar författarna vad som kan underlätta eller försvåra förverkligandet av politiska beslutPracticing interaction between politics and administration can be a good idea after elections. One way to do this is to discuss cases together. Based on research on governance and control of the public sector and the advantages of case pedagogy, the authors discuss what can facilitate or hinder the realization of political decisions

Despite the extent of research on domestic violence, few studies have been conducted on the partner violence to which boys are subject to girls in Sweden. The purpose of my paper was to analyze what support-seeking violent boys choose to talk about when they talk to a support service. Furthermore to investigate how they feel and reflect on their actions and how they relate to change in their relat

This chapter employs governmentality on postwar Mitrovica (Kosovo) to understand how different governing attempts structure the field of possible acts for collectives in its urban conflicts over peace(s). The first line of analysis explores how Belgrade uses its parallel institutions—which encompass everything from healthcare and education to undercover police and criminal networks—to enable, enco

Med utgångspunkt i nationella trygghetsundersökningen, NTU, som visat att unga män rapporterar en ökande rädsla och oro för att utsättas för brott, syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka vilka eventuella källor som en grupp unga männen får information om brott ifrån, hur en rädsla för att utsättas för brott påverkar de unga männen och deras vardagliga liv samt hur denna rädsla tar sig uttryck i d

BackgroundThere is little information on the clinical presentation, functional impact, and psychiatric characteristics of misophonia in youth, an increasingly recognized syndrome characterized by high emotional reactivity to certain sounds and associated visual stimuli.MethodOne-hundred-two youth (8–17 years-old) with misophonia and their parents were recruited and compared with 94 youth with anxi

Background and ObjectivesIntestinal levodopa/carbidopa gel infusion (LCIG) is superior to oral treatment in advanced Parkinson disease. The primary objective of this trial was to investigate whether continuous subcutaneous or intravenous infusion with a continuously buffered acidic levodopa/carbidopa solution yields steady-state plasma concentrations of levodopa that are equivalent in magnitude, a

Hemfödsel i Sverige är sällsynt, enbart 0,1% av födslar sker planerat i hemmet bistådda av en liten grupp barnmorskor. Akuta situationer i hemmet är sällsynt men evidens visar att det finns en generell skepsis och rädsla gentemot hemfödsel i samhället. Det saknas studier gällande barnmorskans upplevelser och hantering av akuta situationer i hemmet. Hemfödsel är inte integrerat inom sjukvårdssystem
