The impact of a crisis on the provision of assistive technology in Sweden : the case of COVID-19

The entitlement to access assistive technology (AT) is fundamental for all individuals. However, challenges encountered during societal crises can significantly impact opportunities for participation and engagement among AT users. Understanding the implications of crises and disasters on AT provision along with their repercussions for end users is crucial.

Sweden's Ban on Sex-Purchase : Morality politics and the governance of prostitution

Denna avhandling undersöker 1998 års svenska förbud mot sexköp utifrån den uppmärksamhet lagen fått som ett unikt tillvägagångssätt för att reglera prostitution, den starkt polariserade politiska miljö den existerar inom och de många juridiska motsägelser den uppvisar. Genom material insamlat genom en multisituerad metod mellan åren 2009 och 2019 visar studien att sexköpsförbudet är en variant av

Methodological considerations in practice-based research : Lessons learned from research with a music school in Sweden

Methodological considerations in practice-based research: lessons learned from research with a music school in SwedenThis is a presentation of a practice-based research project that has been carried out in collaboration between two course leaders from a music school in Sweden and one researcher between 2022 and 2023. The aim of the research project is to contribute to knowledge about pupil partici

Perceived discrimination and refraining from seeking physician's care in Sweden : an intersectional analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA)

BACKGROUND: Discrimination may further impede access to medical care for individuals in socially disadvantaged positions. Sociodemographic information and perceived discrimination intersect and define multiple contexts or strata that condition the risk of refraining from seeking physician's care. By applying analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (AIHDA) we aimed to impro

The Social Origins of Democracy and Authoritarianism Reconsidered: Prussia and Sweden in Comparison

In a large social science literature, unequal rural class structures (“landlordism”) are associated with authoritarian political outcomes. This paper revisits the debate focusing on the electoral consequences of land inequality in Prussia, the locus classicus of the pernicious effects of landlordism, and Sweden, often perceived as Prussia’s opposite, with a farmer-dominated social structure and st

Symptomatic osteonecrosis in children treated for Hodgkin lymphoma : A population-based study in Sweden, Finland, and Denmark

Background: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a potentially disabling skeletal complication of cancer treatment. Although symptomatic osteonecrosis (sON) is well-known in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), with an incidence around 6%, studies on sON in pediatric Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are scarce. The aim of this study was to examine the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of sON in children treated for HL. P

Assessing Clinical Reasoning and Decision-Making in Swedish Prehospital Emergency Care : A Mixed Methods Study With an Experimental Design

Clinical reasoning and decision-making in prehospital contexts are complex, and patient assessments may be influenced by stress or biases, thus potentially risking patient safety. Previous research has shown mixed results regarding cognitive interventions designed to counteract biases and improve decision-making. In educational settings, there are no tools that assess clinical reasoning while also

Patterns of care contacts in the final year of life among opioid overdose fatalities in southern Sweden: a latent class analysis

BackgroundUnderstanding the heterogeneity of opioid overdose fatalities is critical to developing effective preventive interventions. This study examines patterns of care contacts among people who subsequently died from opioid overdose. The aim was to identify distinct groups of deceased individuals, based on their contacts with different care agencies in their last year of life.MethodsA retrospec

The productivity effects of regional anchors on local firms in Swedish regions between 2007 and 2019—evidence from an expert-informed machine learning approach

The concept of regional anchor firms remains under-investigated. We analyse the mechanisms by which anchors affect other regional firms, disentangling effects resulting from scale/size vis-à-vis knowledge spillovers. Departing from previous idiographic research, we adopt a nomothetic research design and develop a stepwise expert-informed supervised machine learning approach to identify all anchor
