Priority setting in Swedish health care: Are the politicians ready?

Background: Resource allocation in public health care principally involves politicians, administrators, and physicians. They all have their different roles, agendas and ambitions when it comes to how public health care resources should be spent. Previous studies on attitudes among health-care stakeholders have mainly focused on views and preferences among clinical decision-makers, while less atten

Care and consequences of traumatic brain injury in Neolithic Sweden : A case study of ante mortem skull trauma and brain injury addressed through the bioarchaeology of care

A number of papers have provided insight into frequencies of violence-related trauma, especially skull trauma, in Northern European skeletal assemblages dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Although the cases are often well described, they lack further discussion about the consequences of skull trauma for the injured individual and the implications for the surrounding society, especially consid

Handling user needs : Methods for knowledge creation in Swedish transport planning

Background and aim: Transport planning faces new demands for a dialogue with users. Transport planners no longer just build roads; nowadays they also must listen to users, whose wishes are meant to have an impact on the design and maintenance of the road transport system. Yet how can we know what users really want? This article sets out to analyze the methods with which transport planners gather i

Evaluation of Sentinel-2A imagery for regional lake water quality assessments by observing colored dissolve organic matter (CDOM) in freshwater lakes in Västerbotten and Jämtland in northern Sweden

his study is intended to demonstrate the significant shifts in DOM concentration with space and time within and across inland waters (lakes), which can be acquired by the analysis of DOM concentration using Sentinel-2A imagery. Using a remote sensing method (based on Sentinel-2A data) to evaluate DOM quantity or concentration in freshwater (lakes), optical properties shifts of CDOM of spatial and

The Long-Term Impact of Education on Mortality and Health: Evidence from Sweden

There is a well-documented large positive correlation between education and health and yet it remains unclear as to whether this is a causal relationship. Potential reasons for this lack of clarity include estimation using different methods, analysis of different populations and school reforms that are different in design. In this paper we assess whether the type of school reform, the instrument a

A Comparison of Refugee Education Policy and Practice in England and Sweden: Participatory Parity in Schooling and Moves Towards Ordinariness

There are more child refugees in Europe than at any point since the end of the Second World War (Save the Children 2016). This is affecting both communities on the move and communities where uprooted people are resettling. A humanitarian problem on this scale demands a socially just response. For young refugees, education is a fundamental means of integrating into their new context and the act
