High-quality healthcare decisions need to balance input from science and clinical practice. When two sources of evidence — such as scientific and practice-derived evidence — are compared, integrated, or need to stand-in for one another, they need to be comparable on similar dimensions. Since 1891, Swedish physicians have been operating under a legal requirement to base their healthcare decisions oBackgroundHigh-quality healthcare decisions need to balance input from science and clinical practice.

This work aims at clarifying the fundamental mechanisms of non-equilibrium alternating current gliding arc discharge (GAD) by investigating effects of gas compositions and pressures on the GAD characteristics with electrical and optical methods. Interestingly, the glow-to-spark transition was found by adding O2 or CH4 into the argon or modulating the power supply. This transition occurs attributed

Precise control of the discharge in space and time is of great significance for better applications of discharge plasma. Here, we used a femtosecond laser filament to trigger and guide a high-voltage DC pulse discharge to achieve spatiotemporal control of the discharge plasma. In space, the discharge plasma is distributed strictly along the channel generated by the femtosecond laser filament. The

In 2011, the Russian government, in order to mark the 100th anniversary of Swedish Diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, decided to allow one Swedish researcher to go through the diplomatic correspondence in cipher between the Soviet Embassy in Stockholm and the Soviet Foreign Ministry during the years 1944–1947. This article presents some of the major findings on Wallenberg and discusses whether parallel pa

In March 1946 the Soviet government decided to radically revise their policy towardsSweden. The Soviet demand, ever since November 1944, for the total extradition ofthe approximately 30,000 Baltic refugees in Sweden was suddenly dropped and anumber of measures were taken by Moscow to accomplish a rapprochement betweenthe two countries. On the basis of recently declassified Soviet encrypted diploma

Fredagen den 3 augusti 1923 klev en 17-årig smålänning av Svenska Amerika Liniens S/S Drottningholm i New York. Han genomgick procedurerna på Ellis Island, fick en adresslapp på kavajslaget, roddes i land, marscherade med andra nyanlända på led till Grand Central Station, sattes på ett tåg norrut och lyftes av i New Haven, Connecticut. De närmaste tio åren skulle han uppleva det glada 20-talet och

This article addresses the claim made by the American journalistsFrederick Werbell and Thurston Clarke (in 1982) and the Swedishauthor and researcher Bengt Jangfeldt (in 2012) to the effect thatthe Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, when preparing to leaveBudapest for Debrecen in January 1945, hid jewelry and 15–20 kgof gold in his car. As is evident from the examination conductedhere, the testimo

Hvis man vil forstå, hvad det vil sige at være menneske, kommer man ikke uden om at beskæftige sig med den menneskelige bevidsthed. Det er den, der gør os til den, vi hver især er, og der er den, som gør, at mennesker har udviklet alt lige fra redskaber og maskiner til kunst og videnskabelige teorier. Det er bevidstheden, der gør, at nogle ting er vigtige for os, at vi har drømme og håb. Når vi pr

I present an empirically based argument for the plausibility of misrepresentation as posited by some higher-order theories of consciousness. The argument relies on the assumption that conscious states are generated by processes in the brain. The underlying idea is that if the brain generates conscious states then misrepresentation may occur. The reason for this is that brain states can be corrupte

In a recent paper, Miguel Sebastián has posed an objection to the higherorder thought theory of consciousness. The higher-order thought theory of consciousness holds that a mental state is conscious when it is the intentional object of a higher-order thought (HOT). Often, the HOT is conceived to be essentially indexical. This means that the HOT somehow picks out the individual who tokens it. Sebas

In the years 1941–1948, thousands of people escaped across the Baltic Sea fromeastern Europe to Sweden, primarily from the Baltic states but also from theUSSR. On the basis of newly declassified Soviet correspondence throughencrypted cables between the Soviet foreign ministry and the Soviet legationin Stockholm for the years 1944–1947, this article addresses the Soviet-Swedishdiplomatic negotiatio

In this article we focus on the cultural mechanisms of market evolution accompanying the marketplace discord between a market actor and a dominant industry. We situate our analysis in the intersection between marketing and institutional theory and engage specifically with the constructs of legitimacy and framing strategies, but also with Chantal Mouffe’s political philosophy concept of agonistics.
