This paper discusses whether, as a matter of logic, better-than relations require value-bearing relata. Must an x that is better than y be in any sense good (or, where x is less disvaluable than y, bad?) Examples I provide suggest the contrary—that it is possible for something to be better than something else without having any sort of value (other than betterness). Several reasons for being suspi

Tjänstesamhället och den tjänsteinriktade ekonomin som växt fram under efterkrigstiden (Yarmolinsky 1968), innebär nya förhållningssätt, krav och villkor för traditionella yrkesgrupper. En händelse som pandemin ritade ytterligare om förhållningssätt och normer kring arbetet. Varje tid har sina föreställningar om arbete, vad som är en lämplig anställd eller en bra chef. Varför sker sådana normförsk

BackgroundFor implementation of new assessment strategies, an evidence-informed approach is desired. Thus, the assessment methodshould be supported by current evidence, and similarly the implementation process could be informed through research.Implementation research can be done using various approaches and research methods. However, it seems that interviewstudies are an important source of infor

As members of the Distinguished Reviewers Board of Scientometrics and/or as recipients of the Derek de Solla Price Medal, we wish to express our disagreement with the retraction of the paper “Predatory publishing in Scopus: evidence on cross-country differences” co-authored by Vít Macháček and Martin Srholec (Macháček & Srholec, 2021a). The retraction was discussed in the blog Retraction Watch

Background Health challenges like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are becoming increasingly complex, transnational, and unpredictable. Studying health system responses to the COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to enhance our understanding of health system resilience and establish a clearer link between theoretical concepts and practical ideas on how to build resilience.

Automated detection of cell nuclei in fluorescence microscopy images is a key task in bioimage analysis. It is essential for most types of microscopy-based high-throughput drug and genomic screening and is often required in smaller scale experiments as well. To develop and evaluate algorithms and neural networks that perform instance or semantic segmentation for detecting nuclei, high quality anno

This article addresses the role of television as a ‘new media’ in government public relations. Drawing on sociological theories on informalisation, this study analyses three features of the Swedish public information programme Anslagstavlan during the 1970s and 1980s: first, formal techniques such as editing, pacing and use of animations; second, narrative strategies including the utilisation of c

Den psykiska ohälsan hos barn och unga i Sverige uppges öka över tid och är ett av vår tids största folkhälsoproblem. Men vad menas egentligen med psykisk ohälsa och hur har begreppet konstruerats inom den sociala barn- och ungdomsvårdens rättsliga normering? I den här rapporten visar författarna hur synen på psykisk ohälsa ges mening och förändras över tid i samspel med rådande samhällsnormer och

Den svenska fiskeflottan har krympt under lång tid och idag har mångafiskelägen endast ett fåtal fiskefartyg kvar. Även om yrkesfisket är enliten näring kan förlusten av fisket innebära att viktiga värden för lokalsamhället går förlorade. Ett sådant är att fisket lockar turister till hamnen. I den här rapporten analyseras fiskets betydelse för turismen isvenska fiskesamhällen. Detta görs genom två

This study focuses on the Swedish public information programme Anslagstavlan, a unique audiovisual communication tool for Swedish government agencies since 1972 and an important part of Sweden’s audiovisual cultural heritage. Whereas digital research methodologies for data-driven text analysis have been developed and established over the last decades, the use of digital tools in the analysis of au

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite nu

Many people and organizations across the globe work towards a sustainable future. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be a powerful tool in their efforts.AI technologies, which aim to imitate the natural intelligence of humans and animals, have made enormous progress in the past decade. AI has brought us a whole range of futuristic tools — from self-driving cars to virtual assistants, smart home appl
