Sedan Polismyndigheten 2015 publicerade den första listan över socialt utsatta områden i svenska städer har problematiken där fått mycket uppmärksamhet i den politiska samhällsdebatten, i media och i forskning. På kommunal och nationell nivå diskuteras orsaker och möjliga lösningar rörande dåliga levnadsförhållanden, parallella maktstrukturer, kriminalitet och utanförskap. I fokus för diskussioner

Obtaining a booster dose of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine is required to maintain the protective level of neutralizing antibodies and therefore herd immunity in the community, and the success of booster dose programs depends on public acceptance. The aim of this study was to determine the acceptance of a booster dose of COVID-19 vaccine and its drivers and barriers in Indonesia. A cr

This is a collaborative composition/improvisation made for organist Karin Johansson. Since Johansson combined her work with me with a project she was doing about choral preludes, both recordings feature segues between Ghost Prelude and some of the choral preludes she was working on. This is a collaborative work.

The garden at the Moderna Museet is a garden for a future – even a post-future! – which had already passed into history when I arrived in 2011. I spent much of that summer contemplating this paradox through the lens of the presence and resonating echoes of Frukost i den Gröna and Paradiset. Even more, the colorful story of the Bucky Dome which had been erected in the garden illuminated the recentl

As forces like gentrification and globalization affect the fabric of city life, it grows difficult for a single individual to identify their own story, history or place, or shape any part of the cities where they live as unique from any other. How can music, and particularly electroacoustic music, become a way to map new psycho- geographies? Can such music empower others to tell their own stories,

Background: It is unclear whether peripheral arterial cannulation is superior to central arterial cannulation for postcardiotomy veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Methods: A systematic review was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify studies on postcardiotomy VA-ECMO for the present individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis. Analysis was perfor

In the 20th century, Sweden distinguished itself as one of the most organized and participatory democracies in the world. But in the late 19th century the situation was much the opposite – Sweden had for Western Europe a low degree of suffrage, and low political participation. To explain the turnaround, this paper explores the evolution of a democratic political culture in the final third of the 1In the 20th century, Sweden distinguished itself as one of the most organized and participatory democracies in the world.

Can wealth shocks have intergenerational health consequences? We use the partial compensation slaveholders received after the 1834 slave emancipation in the British Cape Colony to measure the intergenerational effects of a wealth loss on longevity. We find that a greater loss of slave wealth shortened the lifespans of the generation of slaveholders that experienced the shock albeit these effects are

Domain decomposition is one of the most efficient techniques to derive efficient methods for large-scale problems. In this chapter such decomposition methods for the minimization of the total variation are discussed. We differ between approaches which directly tackle the (primal) total variation minimization and approaches which deal with their predual formulation. Thereby we mainly concentrate on

Symmetry breaking and competition between electronic decay and nuclear dynamics are major factors determining whether the memory of the initial core-hole localisation in a molecule is retained long enough to affect fragmentation. We investigate the fate of core holes localised at different sites in the free 1,3 trans butadiene molecule by using synchrotron radiation to selectively excite core

The simplest and most natural definition of the term ‘conspiracy theory’ leads us to the conclusion that we are all conspiracy theorists. Yet, I claim that most of us would not self-identify as such. In this paper I call this the problem of self-identification. Since virtually everyone emerges as a conspiracy theorist, the term is essentially theoretically fruitless. It would be like defining inte

The implications of professionalization of civil society organizations have seldom been explored in relation to the governance structure of organizations’ and leaders’ different terms of engagement. This study draws on a survey targeting leaders of Swedish welfare-oriented civil society organizations (N. 140) and compares the motives for engagement and leadership ideals of two groups of leaders: b

Sjuksköterskor som arbetar i akuta och stressinducerande situationer upplever det svårt att arbeta personcentrerat. Inom ambulanssjukvård fokuserar sjuksköterskor primärt på den medicinska behandlingen och ser inte patienten som en unik individ. Vårdrelationen bygger på ett ömsesidigt förtroende mellan sjuksköterska och patient och inom ambulanssjukvård där sjuksköterskan vårdar en patient åt
