Critical Management Studies : A Critical Review

In this paper, we review the development of critical management studies, point at problems and explore possible developments. We begin by tracing out two previous waves of critical management studies. We then focus on more recent work in critical management studies and identify ten over-arching themes (Academia, alternatives organizations, control and resistance, discourse, Foucauldian studies, ge

Critical flows throughout the Covid-19 pandemic – A longitudinal study on interdependencies and resilience in a Swedish context

Modern societies rely on critical flows of essential goods and services to ensure societal safety. The covid-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of upholding critical flows during a crisis. This comprehensive study provides novel insights into interdependencies and resilience of critical flows by carrying out a longitudinal and holistic study throughout the pandemic in Sweden of four sectors: t

Providing evidence for a well-worn stereotype : Italians and Swedes do gesture differently

Across cultures and languages spontaneous speech is often accompanied bygestures. It is a popular belief that people in Italy gesture more than peoplein Northern Europe, such as in Sweden. Despite this general assumption fewstudies empirically investigate cultural differences in gesture frequency andgesture function under similar circumstances. This study compares the spokenand gestural behaviours

Polarisation vision in the dark : Green-sensitive photoreceptors in the nocturnal ball-rolling dung beetle Escarabaeus satyrus

Many insects utilise the polarisation pattern of the sky to adjust their travelling directions. The extraction of directional information from this sky-wide cue is mediated by specialised photoreceptors located in the dorsal rim area (DRA). While this part of the eye is known to be sensitive to the ultraviolet, blue or green component of skylight, the latter has only been observed in insects activ

The clinical spectrum of ataxia telangiectasia in a cohort in Sweden

Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), caused by biallelic variants in the ATM gene, is a multisystemic and severe syndrome characterized by progressive ataxia, telangiectasia, hyperkinesia, immunodeficiency, increased risk of malignancy, and typically death before the age of 30. In this retrospective study we describe the phenotype of 14 pediatric and adult A-T patients evaluated at the Karolinska Universi

Measuring residual stresses in individual on-chip interconnects using synchrotron nanodiffraction

As the dimensions of interconnects in integrated circuits continue to shrink, an urgent need arises to understand the physical mechanism associated with electromigration. Using x-ray nanodiffraction, we analyzed the stresses in Blech-structured pure Cu lines subjected to different electromigration conditions. The results suggest that the measured residual stresses in the early stages of electromig

Mikroagressioner och hbtq : Våld som blir vardag

Syftet med den här texten är att beskriva olika former av mikroaggressioner och ge exempel på hur de kan ta sig uttryck. Vi kommer att gå igenom hur de hanteras av de som utsätts, samt diskutera varför yrkesverksamma som träffar människor i sitt arbete behöver ha kunskap om mikroaggressioner. I den här texten kommer vi framför allt att belysa situationen för hbtq-personer, alltså personer som är hSyftet med den här texten är att beskriva olika former av mikroaggressioner och ge exempel på hur de kan ta sig uttryck.

Accurate heat capacity determination of solids and liquids using a heat conduction calorimeter

This study investigates the suitability of heat conduction calorimeters for determining the specific heat capacity of solid and liquid substances. Accurate and precise measurements were obtained for various substances, including water, ethylene glycol, the ionic liquid [EMIM][TCM], and copper, with relative standard deviations averaging less than 1%. Measurements on [EMIM][DCA] indicated a systema

Orbital Controls on North Pacific Dust Flux During the Late Quaternary

Airborne mineral dust is sensitive to climatic changes, but its response to orbital forcing is still not fully understood. Here, we present a reconstruction of dust input to the Subarctic Pacific Ocean covering the past 190 kyr. The dust composition record is indicative of source moisture conditions, which were dominated by precessional variations. In contrast, the dust flux record is dominated by

Exploring the time axis within medium-modified jets

The fast evolution of the QGP makes its interaction with jets an inherently time-dependent process. However, this crucial dimension is missing from traditional jet quenching measurements, which hence provide a mere average quantification of the medium properties. Jet substructure observables provide an effective strategy to access the QGP time structure. By identifying the recursive steps of a nov

Early diagnosis and better rhythm management to improve outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation: the 8th AFNET/EHRA consensus conference

Despite marked progress in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF), detecting AF remains difficult and AF-related complications cause unacceptable morbidity and mortality even on optimal current therapy. This document summarizes the key outcomes of the 8th AFNET/EHRA Consensus Conference of the Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA). Eighty-three in

A diatom extension to the cGEnIE Earth system model - EcoGEnIE 1.1

We extend the ecological component (ECOGEM) of the carbon-centric Grid-Enabled Integrated Earth system model (cGEnIE) to include a diatom functional group. ECOGEM represents plankton community dynamics via a spectrum of ecophysiological traits originally based on size and plankton food web (phyto- and zooplankton; EcoGEnIE 1.0), which we developed here to account for a diatom functional group (Eco

Changes in nutritional and technological properties of heat-treated milk and cream at dairy production scale during storage

Changes in nutritional and technological properties during storage of milk and cream subjected to different heat treatments at dairy production scale (high-temperature-short-time pasteurisation, extended shelf-life treatment and ultra-high temperature treatment) were investigated. Results indicate a decrease in pH with longer storage times, whereas no changes in ionic calcium concentration occurre

Comorbidity burden in adult atopic dermatitis : A population-based study

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that has been shown to be associated with allergic comorbidities. However, studies examining comorbidities in patients with AD are incomplete, which may contribute to suboptimal care. Objectives: The objective was to compare the risk of developing different allergic and nonallergic comorbidities among adult patients with AD

Identifying mobility segments for leisure travel : A cluster analysis based on a one-month travel survey

Despite awareness of the negative consequences of car use, leisure trips are still often made by car. A better understanding of the potential for a transition to more sustainable transport behaviour requires more knowledge about the differences in car use between individuals and leisure trip purposes. As a basis for this, individuals were clustered into six car-oriented and five non-car-oriented l
