This paper revisits the Power Resource Theory by testing one of its more influential claims: the relation between the strength of the labor movement and the reduction of industrial conflicts. Using panel data techniques to analyze more than 2,000 strikes in 103 Swedish towns we test whether a shift in the balance of power towards Social Democratic rule was associated with fewer strikes. The focus
Cities are well-positioned to realize both sustainable development goals and humanrights. Policy implementation, delivery of public services, and the reproduction of inclusivesocieties take place in cities, where 80 per cent of global GDP is generated (SDSN 2016:11). Cities are also home to extreme poverty, socio-economic disparities, unsustainablepatterns of consumption and production, and human
We prove a factorization theorem for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose kernel has a normalized complete Nevanlinna–Pick factor. This result relates the functions in the original space to pointwise multipliers determined by the Nevanlinna–Pick kernel and has a number of interesting applications. For example, for a large class of spaces including Dirichlet and Drury–Arveson spaces, we construc
Conceptually, this paper is about the becoming of states and how such states are a socially constructed spaces, imagined and performed by those who perceive themselves as belonging to that state. It asks through what imaginaries and performative practices does a state come into being? More specifically, the paper investigates how the state is imagined and performed in times of war and peace hoping
Asthma is a common disease, and although its clinical manifestations may be similar among patients, recent research discoveries have shown that it consists of several distinct clinical clusters or phenotypes, each with different underlying molecular pathways yielding different treatment responses. Based on these observations, an alternative approach - known as ‘precision medicine’ - has been propo
Objectives: To assess the interreader agreement and reader performance in the evaluation of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) in two classification systems of local resectability status prior to initiation of therapy, namely the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) and Karolinska classification system (KCS). Methods: In this ethics review board-approved retrospective study, six radiolog
With the arrival of the refugees from the Middle East, especially since 2015, Europe has become a xenophobic hotbed. Discourses, practices, and policies promoting and supporting xenophobia have become reality. In this article, we seek to present stories of those who have arrived to Europea via the Balkan Route, in a qualitative research fashion, concentrating on several narratives collected by the
