Urban planning is increasingly embedded in a neoliberal paradigm, resulting in decentralization and deregulation of planning practice. This affects how compact cities are materialized. However, few studies of the effects of neoliberal planning for density consider the resulting geographies of green space. To address this research gap, this paper explores how the idea of green space is being reconf

Globally, Sweden is often perceived as a relatively equal society. Swedish citizens pay significant amount of taxes and taxation on income is progressive. In addition, it is an explicit task of Swedish social services nationwide to counteract inequality and serve as a “last resort” for the country’s most vulnerable people.

Despite the well-documented effectiveness of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in treating severe obesity, significant gaps persist in understanding adolescents' lived experiences and perspectives. Addressing these gaps is essential for enhancing patient-centered care and supporting long-term outcomes.

INTRODUCTION: Inhibitor development against factor VIII (FVIII) is the most common complication of hemophilia A replacement therapy. One of the variables considered to influence inhibitor development is the ABO blood group. Patients with blood group O have, on average, a 30%-40% lower endogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentration. It has been postulated that VWF levels influence inhibitor d

This paper studies if attendance to one of the first types of formal childcare establishments in early twentieth century Sweden helped children escape adverse socioeconomic circumstances in the short and long term. It uses individual longitudinal data from a middle-sized Swedish industrial town, linked to individual data on attendance to the local pre-school (for children in ages 2-7), and follows

Listening is often ignored and not understood as an organizational strategic resource. In this conceptual article, we explain why listening is downplayed by combining the two research fields Service Management and Strategic Communication. We propose that organizations embrace service logic as a perspective of managing organizations. Service logic has a stakeholder-centric approach to value creatio

In this paper, we analyze the relationship between technological competencies (TC) and firm performance. Theoretically, the importance of TC is well established and widely accepted. Therefore, it is surprising that a number of empirical studies have been unable to confirm a substantial positive relationship between TC and firm performance. We identify two major reasons for this: [i] affected by th

The paper investigates the role of innovation intermediaries in sector-specific regional innovation systems. Innovation is viewed as a non-linear, iterative process and open process involving multiple actors from different parts of the innovation system. The paper studies in particular innovation intermediaries that provide support to firms in the regional innovation system through the fulfillment

Diabetes is an escalating health concern affecting approximately 152.6 million people globally in rural areas, with a significant rise in low- and middle-income countries where over 75% of affected adults live. These populations face unique challenges, including delayed diagnosis, limited access to specialized care, and economic hardships, leading to severe complications such as cardiovascular dis
