Meetings or Power Weeks? Boundary Work in a Transnational Police Project

Meetings are common in contemporary working life, but they are often overlooked in academic studies and sometimes defined as empty or boring by employees. Yet, the meeting society isbeing reproduced again and again. There seem to be hidden ways to incorporate meetings into today’s working life without arousing critique about pointless activities and deviations from what should really be done. One

Partierna, rösträtten och medborgarskapet : Riksdagsdebatten om utlandssvenskars och ickemedborgares rösträtt efter år 1921

Political Parties, Enfranchisement, and Citizenship: Debates on Voting Rights for Expatriate Citizens and Resident Aliens in the Swedish Parliament after 1921.The question of how voting rights should be designed in relation to national citizenship has gained attention in modern, academic debates. However, there are few empirical studies on the political agents actually involved in efforts to promo

Mapping geographical inequalities in oral rehydration therapy coverage in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000-17

BACKGROUND: Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according to UNICEF estimates, less than half of children younger than 5 years with diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS in 2016. A variety of recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative f

Evaluation of the HAVOSS software process maturity model

The HAVOSS (Handling Vulnerabilities in OSS) maturity model describes important processes for managing security vulnerabilities in OSS modules in developed products. So far, the model has not been evaluated in any real assessment process. Here we present a study where the model was evaluated by using it in assessments of processes for two product types in one organization. Each assessment was condThe HAVOSS (Handling Vulnerabilities in OSS) maturity model describes important processes for managing security vulnerabilities in OSS modules in developed products.

Agency and capacity in the planning and design phase of building renovations

The building sector is a large energy consumer and is responsible for high CO2 emissions; hence, improving the energy performance of buildings is vital. Building renovations open opportunities to improve their energy performance.Building professionals and other actors in the early phase of renovations decide what energy efficiency and saving measures will be implemented. Their role is studied here

The cost-effectiveness of mobile health (Mhealth) interventions for older adults : Systematic review

The objective of this study was to critically assess and review empirical evidence on the cost-effectiveness of Mobile Health (mHealth) interventions for older adults. We systematically searched databases such as Pubmed, Scopus, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Literature (CINAHL) for peer-reviewed economic evaluations published in English from 2007 to 2018. We extracted data on methods

Representation of intimate partner violence against women in Swedish news media: a discourse analysis.

Despite being rated as some of the world’s most gender equal countries, Sweden and neighboring Nordic nations show high rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). As the news media contribute to the shaping of public attitudes, this article pursues a two-step discourse analysis of how IPVAW was represented in seven Swedish newspapers during 2018. Although an individualistic discours

The SkyMapper-Gaia RVS view of the Gaia–Enceladus–Sausage – an investigation of the metallicity and mass of the Milky Way’s last major merger

We characterize the Gaia–Enceladus–Sausage kinematic structure recently discovered in the Galactic halo using photometric metallicities from the SkyMapper survey, and kinematics from Gaia radial velocities measurements. By examining the metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) of stars binned in kinematic/action spaces, we find that the JR‾‾‾√ versus Lz space allows for the cleanest selection of

α-Hemolysin of uropathogenic E. coli regulates NLRP3 inflammasome activation and mitochondrial dysfunction in THP-1 macrophages

Hemolysin expressing UPEC strains have been associated with severe advanced kidney pathologies, such as cystitis and pyelonephritis, which are associated with an inflammatory response. Macrophages play an important role in regulating an inflammatory response during a urinary tract infection. We have studied the role of purified recombinant α-hemolysin in inducing inflammatory responses and cell de

Validation of a stroke model in rat compatible with rt-PA-induced thrombolysis : new hope for successful translation to the clinic

The recent clinical trial (DAWN) suggests that recanalization treatment may be beneficial up to 24 h after stroke onset, thus re-opening avenues for development of new therapeutic strategies. Unfortunately, there is a continuous failure of drugs in clinical trials and one of the major reasons proposed for this translational roadblock is the animal models. Therefore, the purpose of this study was t

Numerical investigation of flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a latticework duct with jet cooling structures

Interaction effects of the latticework duct and jet cooling structures on the flow structure and heat transfer were numerically investigated. The latticework duct included eleven sub-channels both on the top wall and bottom wall. The crossing angle was set as 90°. The jet cooling structures had a curved target surface and seven jet nozzles. The jet cooling structures and latticework duct were conn
