Denna artikel undersöker hur innebörden av ekonomisk ersättning kan omdefinieras över tid i svenska familjehemsföräldrars liv. Med utgångspunkt i fyrtio kvalitativa intervjuer visar jag att familjehemsföräldrar initialt kan tona ned eller bortse från de ekonomiska aspekterna av uppdraget, men senare komma att vara beroende av denna inkomst – inte nödvändigtvis av egenintresse, utan som ett sätt atThis article examines how the meaning of financial compensation may be redefined over time in the lives of Swedish foster parents. Drawing on forty qualitative interviews, I demonstrate that while foster parents may initially downplay or disregard the monetary aspects of fostering, they can later come to depend on this income, not necessarily out of self-interest, but as a means of deepening their

Little is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice. Using Connell's poststructuralist perspectives on gender as an analytic framework, this article aims to investigate how professionals’ articulations of depression are framed by signs of masculinity and femininity, and how these artiLittle is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice.

The use of Global Positioning System (GPS) technology enables the study of tourists’ activities and movement patterns in real time. But what does this information tell us about tourists’ subjective experiences? The present paper accounts for the results from four case studies: two event studies and two destination studies. Two of these took place in the wintertime, and two in the summertime. Visit

BACKGROUND: Preterm birth has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity in adult life. We evaluated whether preterm birth is associated with deviating cardiac structure and function before school start.METHODS AND RESULTS: In total, 176 children aged 6 years and born extremely preterm (EXPT; gestational age of 22-26 weeks) and 134 children born at term (control [CTRL]) were s

BACKGROUND: Previous analyses concerning health components of European Union (EU)-funded research have shown low project participation levels of the 12 newest member states (EU-12). Additionally, there has been a lack of subject-area analysis. In the Health Research for Europe project, we screened all projects of the EU's Framework Programmes for research FP5 and FP6 (1998-2006) to identify health

Closed-loop control of cloud resources requires there to be measurements readily available from the process in order to use the feedback mechanism to form a control law. If utilizing state-feedback control, sought states might be unfeasible or impossible to measure in real applications; instead they must be estimated. However, running the estimators in real time for all measurements will require aClosed-loop control of cloud resources requires there to be measurements readily available from the process in order to use the feedback mechanism to form a control law.

Current advances in Deep Learning have shown significant improvements in common Machine Learning applications such as image, speech and text recognition. Specifically, in order to process time series, deep Neural Networks (NNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) units are widely used in sequence recognition problems to store recent information and to use it for future predictions. The efficiency i

Offentlig samverkan är vanligt förekommande i Sverige, framförallt inom den kommunala sektorn. För att kommuner och landsting ska kunna leva upp till de offentligrättsliga krav som ställs är det ofta en nödvändig förutsättning att de utbyter tjänster med varandra. Ett problem som ofta uppstår vid sådana tjänsteutbyten är att samarbetsavtalet utgör ett upphandlingspliktigt kontrakt enligt reglerna Public-public cooperation is common in Sweden, particularly in the municipal sector. In order for municipalities and county councils to live up to the requirements of public law, it is often a prerequisite for them to exchange services with each other. A problem often encountered in such exchanges of services is that the cooperation agreement is related to the laws of public procurement. The legis

Informationssamhällets framväxt bidrar med nya utmaningar för rättsliga regleringar utformade efter traditionella gränser när dessa ska upprätthållas i en gränslös digital miljö. Digitaliseringen av samhället ger upphov till rättsfrågor som inte nödvändigtvis är nya men som placerar dessa i en ny miljö, vilket bidrar till en viss osäkerhet kring rättsläget i många fall. Mot bakgrund av detta behanThe development of the information society brings new challenges to legal constructions created in a landscape of traditional boundaries when these are to be upheld and enforced in a borderless digital environment, mainly due to a technical development that is constantly pushing the boundaries. An increased digitalisation of the society gives rise to not necessarily new legal questions but put the
