During the last couple of decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of the project as an organizational solution in sectors as diverse as IT, housing, social services, education and culture. Despite a growing interest in the phenomenon, we know surprisingly little of how processes of public sector projectification unfold in practice, especially at local government level. This article uses an inst

Objective: One of the more important objectives with the patient choice reform, introducing non-price competition in Swedish primary healthcare, was to improve performance and quality of care. However, in order for choice to lead to quality improvements, citizens need to consider quality aspects in their choices of provider. We hypothesize that quality of care influences choice of provider and the

The planetary changes associated with the Anthropocene, including climate change and extinction of species, pose severe threats to civilization, humanity, and the natural world as we know it. They also pose special challenges to the human imagination. To meet these challenges, climate change communicators use narratives. Nonfiction books intended for a general audience employ two radically differe

We present new estimates of the living standards among the rural labouring classes in Sweden from 1750 to 1900. Starting with a database of more than 1,000 probate inventories of rural, landless and semi-landless people from the years 1750, 1800, 1850 and 1900, we study the development for crofters in particular. In a sub-sample of 120 probate inventories we map in great detail the material items

This study analyses the impacts of small-scale renewable energy technologies on Colombian rural indigenous communities in La Guajira through an Energy-Water-Food Security (EWF) Nexus lens. Due to the high-water scarcity in the region, special attention lays on identifying the water-related trade-offs when increasing access to energy technologies. Recognizing the importance of the indigenous people

In 2015, following a series of sub-regional consultations, 109 states endorsed an Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change. Although active in supporting the consultative process and notwithstanding their endorsement of this ‘Protection Agenda’, the European Union and its Member States promote ‘effective practices’ in the global SouIn 2015, following a series of sub-regional consultations, 109 states endorsed an Agenda for the Protection of Cross-Border Displaced Persons in the Context of Disasters and Climate Change.

Aims. Dust plays a crucial role in the evolution of protoplanetary disks. We study the dynamics and growth of initially submicron dust particles in self-gravitating young protoplanetary disks with various strengths of turbulent viscosity. We aim to understand the physical conditions that determine the formation and spatial distribution of pebbles when both disk self-gravity and turbulent viscosity

Experimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed and implemented in a prototype movement model. The prototype model is developed to predict movement of persons based on a first principle approach using basic population data such as age, height, gender and response time to adapt the walking speed in a crowd. The experimental data provide the biomechanical information needed inExperimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed andimplemented in a prototype movement model.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other inflammatory joint disorders (IJD) have increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk compared with the general population. In 2009, the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) taskforce recommended screening, identification of CVD risk factors and CVD risk management largely based on expert opinion. In view of substantial new evidence, an update

Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of aortic regurgitation (AR) contain recommendations that do not always match. We systematically reviewed clinical practice guidelines and summarized similarities and differences in the recommendations as well as gaps in evidence on the management of AR. We searched MEDLINE and Embase (1 January 2011 to 1 September 2021), Google Scholar, and websites of

Objectives: To study the agreement between clinical axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) diagnoses and fulfilment of the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society (ASAS) axSpA and modified New York (mNY) classification criteria, and to compare disease/health status between axSpA subtypes. Method: Patients with prevalent, clinical axSpA attending a rheumatology clinic were enrolled in a cros

Most existing literature uses a mean-variance frame-work for evaluating expected stock returns and ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance. At the same time, it is argued that the risk mitigation offered by high ESG should lead to higher skewness and lower kurtosis in stock returns. It is also well established that investors have positive preferences for skewness and negative prefer

FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter från 1989 (barnkonventionen) ratificerades av Sverige 1990 och trädde i kraft samma år. Två av konventionens viktigaste artiklar är artikel 3 om barnets bästa och artikel 12 om barnets rätt att uttrycka sin åsikt och få den respekterad. Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur den svenska regleringen i föräldrabalken (1949:381) (FB) om vårdnad, boThe 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was ratified by Sweden in 1990. It came into force the same year. Article 3 on the child’s best interests and article 12 on the right of the child to be heard are two of the most important provisions of the CRC. The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the relationship between the regulation in the Swedish Children and Parents Code (1

This study examines the rhetorical strategies employed by the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj, particularly focusing on his use of humor and sarcasm during the Russian-Ukrainian War. By analyzing a sample of Zelenskyj's Instagram posts from the beginning of the war as well in the current time, this research seeks to understand how these rhetorical devices contribute to his leadership a

The Bangladeshi Gen Zs and university students demonstrated a revolutionary example of civic engagement, participatory culture, subcultural identity formation, and reformation during the Student Quota Reform Movement in July, leading to the July massacre where thousands of protesting students were tortured and shot to death in public. The movement happened as an enraged response against the announ
