Mot bakgrund av ett förändringstryck på offentlig sektor lanseras i dag flera innovationer för organisatorisk förändring. I det här kapitlet analyseras hur aktörerna som är involverade i dessa processer konstruerar, reproducerar och saluför förändringsidéer genom berättelser om offentlig sektors förnyelse –men också hur berättelserna knyter aktörerna samman och skapar nya roller och koalitioner.

Objectives: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the incidence and prevalence of SSc covering the entire literature. Methods: This study followed the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement of 2009. We conducted a systematic search in MEDLINE, Web of Science and Embase to identify articles reporting incide

Sweden is actively seeking to scale up repair activities as part of its strategy to reduce waste, transition to a circular economy, and achieve zero net emissions by 2045. In the last couple of years, several new policies to promote consumer repairs have been adopted or proposed in Sweden. However, very little is known about the socio-cultural factors that shape people's decision to repair their p

Taxes and subsidies on foods and nutrients have the potential to promote healthier diets and thereby reduce mortality. In this study, we examine the effects of such policy instruments on Swedish public health. Specifically, we estimate the effects of food and nutrient taxes and subsidies on mortality averted and postponed in Sweden, using both demand system estimations and simulation models. We ev

Is audit capable of evolving into something that is more consistently valued and socially purposeful? We address this fundamental question, utilizing Sennett’s (2008). The Craftsman. New Haven: Yale University Press) notion of ‘dynamic repair’ to present four key ways of thinking differently about the statutory financial audit and its core conceptual foundations. First, we highlight the capacity f

In current times of global change, several sources of stress such as contaminants and high temperatures may act synergistically. The extent to which organisms persist in stressful conditions will depend on the fitness consequences of multiple simultaneously acting stressors and the genetic basis of compensatory genetic responses. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic drug used in livestock that is excret

The study investigates the development of defmiteness in two groups of Russian-speaking learners of Swedish, one beginner group and one more advanced group. While Russian does not have articles, Swedish expresses defmiteness through a complex noun-phrase (NP) structure. Using an oral elicitation task, the study examines the learners' ability to produce morphemes that encode (in)defmiteness, their

Background: The complex polarity of neurons requires specialized mechanisms to allocate sufficient number of mitochondria to neurites and synapses to control local calcium and ATP levels. Deficits in trafficking are directly linked to neurodegeneration. Our objective is to demonstrate that alterations of mitochondrial spatial location and metabolism are interconnected and can lead to point-of-no-r

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cornerstone drug in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, achieving sufficient concentration in the tumor tissue after systemic administration with few side effects has been a challenge. Even with the most advanced nanotechnology approaches, less than 5% of the total administered drug gets delivered to the target site. Alternatives to increase the local concentration of DO

Unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) expanded extensively in the United States from the early 2000s. However, the influence of UOGD on the radioactivity of ambient particulate is not well understood. We collected the ambient particle radioactivity (PR) measurements of RadNet, a nationwide environmental radiation monitoring network. We obtained the information of over 1.5 million w

BACKGROUND: Individuals are exposed to air pollution and ionizing radiation from natural sources through inhalation of particles. This study investigates the association between cardiac arrhythmias and short-term exposures to fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 µm aerodynamic diameter; PM2.5) and particle radioactivity.METHODS: Ventricular arrhythmic events were identified among 176 p

BACKGROUND: Whole-body and thoracic ionizing radiation exposure are both associated with the development of renal dysfunction. However, whether low-level environmental radiation from air pollution affects renal function remains unknown.OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association of particle radioactivity (PR) with renal function defined by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and chroni

This text builds on a manuscript written for a lecture at the Trelleborg Museum in Scania. At the museum one can read that Harald Bluetooth built the ring fortress, just like all the other Trelleborg forts, but is this so? This article looks at the datings, finds and surroundings of the East Danish trelleborg forts and presents another interpretation. A strong aristocracy with an interest in trade

Therapeutic apheresis (TA) as a treatment for antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) was questioned by the PEXIVAS although the MEPEX study favored TA. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of TA to improve renal function in patients consecutively included in the WAA-apheresis registry versus patients not treated with TA. Materials and methods: Included were 192 patients that suffered f
