Purpose: This study examines brand disappearance as a strategic response to moral and cultural pressure. It analyses and explores how brands with a contested history respond by transforming their identity, aligning internal vision-culture-image alignment, and using crisis communication to restore legitimacy and maintain brand continuity. Methodology: Qualitative, multiple case study. Findings:

Purpose: This paper explores the phenomenon of intra-portfolio co-branding in a house of brands and examines how co-branding partnerships increase brand equity and strengthen both the participating brands and the corporate portfolio. It also derives actionable guidelines on how to leverage such synergies. Methodology: A qualitative study based on secondary data, using case studies of Dior by Birke

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key factors that contribute to the success of corporate apologies issued in response to a crisis. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative research method. The primary data was collected in the form of case studies of 30 apologies across three decades and multiple industries. These cases were analyzed using relevant theories foun

INTRODUCTIONThis study examines medication reviews (MRs) among people living with dementia (PWD) in Sweden, focusing on frequency and factors influencing access.METHODSUsing nationwide register data, all diagnosed PWD from 2010 to 2016 were assessed for MR receipt in 2015 and/or 2016. The analysis guided by the Andersen healthcare utilization framework, considered predisposing, enabling, and need-

Revolution in one country can inspire protests in another country, demanding responses from elites seeking to maintain power. Scholars typically use a policy-centered approach to analyze these responses, focusing on how policy strategies of repression or co-optation are used to prevent revolution. But in democracies, political survival is also electoral success. This article therefore argues that

This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function – Second Edition (BRIEF2) across self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms in a gender- and age-balanced community sample of Swedish youth. We examined factor structure, internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, measurement invariance, and age- and gender-related diffe

Concerns have been raised that transfers of bureaucrats and politicians into the private sector might create unfair advantages for their future employers and even lead to distrust in government. Not surprisingly, the study of the revolving door has therefore gained prominence in the academic literature. Importantly, however, less attention has been paid to the executive branch. We add to the study

UNLABELLED: Systemic targeted therapy in prostate cancer is primarily focused on ablating androgen signaling. Androgen deprivation therapy and second-generation androgen receptor (AR)-targeted therapy selectively favor the development of treatment-resistant subtypes of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), defined by AR and neuroendocrine (NE) markers. Molecular drivers of doubl

What is the effect of foreign events on ideas and discourses at the national level? This paper argues that a foreign event may set in motion an ideational momentum that gives positive attention to certain ideas, strengthening the credibility of political actors that hold these ideas, and hurting the credibility of actors promoting competing ideas. Based on a regression discontinuity design and qua

“Digital participation” refers to being actively involved in the digital society and using information and communication technology, above all the internet. However, not everyone has access to this global network and the ability to use it. The aim of the study was to explore experiences of using the internet and digital participation among people with aphasia (PWA) in Sweden by analysing data from

The intercalation of metals beneath graphene offers a powerful route to stabilizing and protecting novel 2D phases. The epitaxial growth of Pb monolayers on SiC(0001), combined with the relatively large spacing of the suspended graphene, makes this system particularly distinctive. Using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and various microscopy techniques—including scanning electron microscopy

This chapter explores the invisibility of religious queers within the public discourse on religion and queerness in Sweden, drawing on personal fieldwork experiences and interviews with queer religious participants who self-identify as either Jews, Christians, or Muslims. While highlighting that the visibilities and invisibilities of religious queers vary across the different religious affiliation

Indonesia is in the process of relocating its capital to a newly built city named Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN). The first area to be developed is the central area of IKN (KIKN), which includes the main governmental zone (KIPP) and is located in Penajam Paser Utara (PPU), spanning two primary villages, Sepaku and Pemaluan, which are home to the Indigenous Peoples (IP) of the Balik and Paser communities

The EU Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542) mandates that by February 2027, electronic products must be designed so that users or independent professionals can replace their own batteries. While implementing this legislation in larger devices is relatively straightforward, it is unfortunately more difficult for small wearable electronics, such as in-ear headphones, due to their compact d

Bakgrund: Beslut om livsuppehållande åtgärder (LUÅ) inom akutsjukvård utgör en komplex del av sjuksköterskans yrkesutövning och innebär ofta etiska och emotionella utmaningar. Utförandet av livsuppehållande åtgärder kan medföra att förlängt liv, ibland på bekostnad av en försämrad livskvalitet för patienten. Den akuta och tidskritiska vårdmiljön medför risk för att patientens autonomi, delaktighetBackground: Decisions regarding life-sustaining treatment (LUÅ) in emergency care represent a complex aspect of nursing practice and often involve ethical and emotional challenges. The implementation of life-sustaining treatment can prolong life, sometimes at the expense of the patient’s quality of afterlife. The acute and time-critical care environment entails a risk that the patient’s autonomy,

Bakgrund: Akutsjukvården präglas av hög arbetsbelastning, tidsbrist och begränsade resurser, vilket skapade en spänd arbetsmiljö för sjuksköterskor. Krav-Kontroll-stödmodellen beskriver hur kombinationen av arbetskrav, kontroll och socialt stöd påverkar balans eller obalans, medan coping och resiliens är återhämtningsförmågor som påverkar sjuksköterskan att hantera påfrestningar. Syfte: SjuksköteBackground: Emergency care is characterized by high workload, time constraints, and limited resources, which create a tense work environment for nurses. The Job Demand–Control–Support model describes how the combination of job demands, control, and social support affects balance or imbalance, while coping and resilience are recovery abilities that influence the nurse’s capacity to handle stressors

Över hela världen ingick sjuksköterskor i en första linjen-strid mot viruset SARS CoV-2 som ledde till att COVID-19-pandemin förklarades i mars 2020 (WHO, 2020). Akutmottagningen fungerar som en första instans för de flesta patienter som passerar in till sjukhus vid akut sjukdom vilket ledde till att stora förändringar behövde genomföras på kort tid i form av utökade isoleringsplatser, organise

Bakgrund: Akutmottagningar i Sverige och internationellt står inför utmaningar med ökade patientflöden, överbelastning och långa väntetider. Teamtriage, där olika professioner arbetar och bedömer patienten tillsammans vid ankomst, har utvecklats som en möjlig lösning för att effektivisera vårdflödet. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva teamtriagens effekter på vårdflöde, patientsä
