Replicating projects for comparative research: Mistra Urban Futures’ experiences with comparative work on knowledge exchange, food and transport

This chapter discusses three comparative projects that were all, at least partially, created through the replication of research across the Mistra Urban Futures cities. A typology of six possible models was developed, illustrating how comparative transdisciplinary knowledge co-production could take place across multiple cities, and the second of these approaches was identified as “local projects r

Impact of concomitant obstructive sleep apnea on pulmonary involvement and main pulmonary artery diameter in adults with scleroderma

Purpose: Pulmonary involvement is common in adults with scleroderma. The effect of concomitant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on risk for pulmonary hypertension in scleroderma is unknown. An enlarged main pulmonary artery diameter (mPAD) derived from chest computer tomography (CT) is a useful predictor of pulmonary hypertension. We addressed the effect of OSA on pulmonary involvement and enlarged m

However, traditional analyses do not explicitly consider the referral of patients to municipality care after just a few days of hospitalization. Furthermore, traditional analyses investigates hospital (or municipality) variation in patient outcomes in isolation rather than a

Polish adaptation and validation of the hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome score (HOOS) in osteoarthritis patients undergoing total hip replacement

The objective of the study was to translate and adapt the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) into Polish and to investigate the psychometric properties of the HOOS in pati

State-Civil Society Relations in the Pursuit of Degrowth and Sustainable Welfare in Europe

The paper starts from the hypothesis that materialist state theories (particularly Gramsci, Bourdieu and Poulantzas) and sustainable welfare approaches are capable of informing state-led ‘eco-social’ policy strategies that have the potential of overcoming the growth imperative in economy and society. It first outlines some general principles of such state action concerning economy, welfare, enviro
