Kursens första del inriktar sig på hälsoekonomiska utvärderingar (kostnadseffektivitet) med fokus på prevention, insatser och behandlingar för att förbättra eller skydda individens eller populationens hälsa. Hälsoekonomiska utvärderingar görs i syfte att erhålla underlag för prioritering av alternativa insatser eller behandlingsmetoder. Vi kommer att gå igenom varför och hur (metoden) ekonomiska uThe purpose of health economic evaluations is to supply a basis for prioritisation between different interventions and treatments. We will go through why and how economic evaluations are made, with special focus on assessing current examples in the literature. The other half of the course focuses on effect evaluations in non-controlled research designs by means of so called quasi-experimental meth

Kursens syfte är att behandla grundläggande frågor om vad vetenskap och den vetenskapliga metoden är; vad som skiljer god och riktig vetenskap från pseudovetenskap, från charlataneri och fusk; förhållandet mellan tro och vetande, religion och naturvetenskap; antropocentricitet och genusperspektiv inom naturvetenskap; och naturvetenskapens samhörighet med andra skapande verksamheter som målning, skThis course is intended to cover fundamental questions on the very substance of science and the scientific method; on what distinguishes good and proper science from pseudoscience, from charlatanry and plain cheating; the relation between belief and knowledge, religion and science; anthropocentricity and gender perspectives in science; and the similarities of science to other creative activities l

Vi kommer att arbeta ur ett globalt perspektiv och beakta hur en ökad global sammankoppling gällande politik, ekonomi, reglering, miljö, konflikter, migration och aktivism påverkar förståelsen av och arbetet med mänskliga rättigheter inte bara internationellt utan även på nationell och lokal nivå. Vi tittar på aktörer som innehar rättigheter eller har en skyldighet att realisera rättigheter. KurseThe global perspective means taking into account the ways in which increasing global connections – in politics, economy, regulations, environment, conflicts, migration, and activism – affect how human rights are conceived and used, internationally, nationally, and regionally. “Agents” refer both to agents that have human rights and agents that are responsible for realizing human rights. “Indicator

The main aim of the course is to provide conceptual frameworks for studying and evaluating the impact that social movements for sustainability can have on the public agenda and decision-making. The course is a seminar course, although it starts with a few lectures on the history and different theoretical perspectives on social movements, introducing the students to the relevant literature.
