The aim of this study is to understand how a new nationwide nonprofit organization, Victim Support Sweden (VSS), emerged in just a few years without public or political demand. In this qualitative study, we reconstruct and follow the first years of the organization. The study is based on a content analysis of VSS’s archival documents from 1988 to 1992 and retrospective interviews with key persons.
This paper explores how Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) can globalize a criminal justice curriculum. It draws on a project where criminology students in Sweden and the United States collaborated in an online environment. We describe the design of the project and use student reflections to identify successes and challenges. The results show that for a CSCL to be successful, instruc

Can art change the world?Issues like climate change and unsustainable natural resource consumption are climbing ever higher on the international political agenda. Scientific reports, media coverage and information campaigns advise the public about these complex matters, including the environmental impact of human activity. It can however be difficult to engage people with facts and figures alone.T
We study the problem of tracking or disturbance rejection for signals beyond the Nyquist frequency in the sampled-data context. Given the well-established sampling theorem, one is inclined to infer that it is possible to track or reject only those signals below the Nyquist frequency. However, such a high-frequency signal may be detected as an aliased signal, and this opens a new possibility in tra
The loading of macroelements such as, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), totalnitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) from terrestrial soils to aquatic systems isincreasing in the northern hemisphere. This phenomenon has several ecologicaland biogeochemical consequences for inland and coastal water systems, which arelinked to bacterial cycling of DOC, N and P. During growth, bacteria assimilatemacroeleThe loading of terrestrially derived macroelements, such as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), total nitrogen (N), and total phosphorus (P), to inland and estuarine waters is increasing in the northern hemisphere. Thesemacroelements often limit heterotrophic bacterioplankton metabolism (production and respiration), which in turn influence food web structures, exchange of greenhouse gases between the
This study examines how multiple blockholder structures affect family firm performance. Building on arguments from both principal–principal agency and familiness perspectives, we suggest that asymmetrical distribution of voting power among family and nonfamily blockholders hurts firm performance. Further, we suggest that the larger the number of blockholder types, the stronger the negative effect
INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheters are indispensable in modern healthcare. Unfortunately, they are accompanied by minor as well as major complications, leading to increased morbidity, mortality and costs. Immediate insertion-related complications (mechanical complications) have decreased due to the implementation of real-time ultrasound guidance, but they still occur and additional efforts to
INTRODUCTION: Platelet transfusions are frequently used in intensive care unit (ICU) patients, but contemporary epidemiological data are sparse. We aim to present contemporary international data on the use of platelet transfusions in adult ICU patients with thrombocytopenia.METHODS: This is a protocol and statistical analysis plan for a post hoc sub-study of 504 thrombocytopenic patients from the
A depersonalization episode occurred unexpectedly during an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording for a study.Experience reports tracked the time course of this event and, in conjunction, with EEG data, were analyzed. Thesource activity across canonical frequency bands was analyzed across four periods ended by retrospectiveexperience reports (depersonalization was reported in the 2nd period). Delta
