I forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad (1945–89) arbetar vi med olika typer av algoritmisk textanalys av storskalig empiri från politikens sfär (digitaliserat riksdagstryck och statliga offentliga utredningar under perioden), dagspress och skönlitteratur. Svensk efterkrigstid är en väl utforskad period, men genom att applicera digitala metoder på kurerade dataset kan politikens, nyhetsmedA hundred million words: Reflections on historical research with large-scale textual datasets as empirical evidenceThe research project Welfare State Analytics: Text Mining and Modelling Swedish Politics, Media & Culture, 1945–1989 uses probabilistic methods and text-mining models to study three massive textual datasets from Swedish politics, news media, and literary culture.

How is the ongoing “datafication” in society experienced by consumers? Critical discussions regarding the impact of datafication on consumers seldom study consumers’ actual experiences. Conversely, the studies that do exist of consumers and their experiences of datafication tend to take an individualistic approach, arguing that how consumers experience and respond to the ongoing datafication is th

Due to limitations of IoT networks including limited bandwidth, memory, battery, etc., secure multicast group communication has gained more attention, and to enable that a group key establishment scheme is required to share the secret key among the group members. The current group key establishment protocols were mostly designed for Wireless Sensor Network, and they require device interaction, hig

Internet of Things (IoT) firmware upgrade has turned out to be a challenging task with respect to security. While Over-The-Air (OTA) software upgrade possibility is an essential feature to achieve security, it is also most sensitive to attacks and lots of different firmware upgrade attacks have been presented in the literature. Several security solutions exist to tackle these problems. We observe

Sommaren 1888 organiserade en grupp unga kvinnor en strejk som skakade om den brittiska arbetsmarknaden. De så kallade tändsticksflickorna på fabriken Bryant and May i östra London kämpade inte bara för bättre löner och rimliga villkor. Ytterst stod deras liv och hälsa på spel.

BackgroundCentrally inserted totally implanted vascular access ports (PORTs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are widely used for the administration of chemotherapy. Our aim was to study the incidence of catheter-related deep venous thrombosis in patients with cancer receiving chemotherapy through either a PICC or a PORT.MethodsAdults with non-haematological cancer (mainly breas

Vascular dysfunction and organ failure are two distinct, albeit highly interconnected, clinical outcomes linked to morbidity and mortality in human sepsis. The mechanisms driving vascular and parenchymal damage are dynamic and display significant molecular cross talk between organs and tissues. Therefore, assessing their individual contribution to disease progression is technically challenging. He

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is associated with self-reported overall health, screen time, and nighttime texting among Swedish adolescents.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey of students (n = 1518) aged 13 to 15 years (50.7% girls) in southern Sweden.RESULTS: Fewer than 8 hours sleep duration before a school day was reported by 31% of students. The median time

Nanoplastics are defined as plastic particles broken down to extremely small sizes (1–100 nm) with unknown effects to the human body and immune system. Air and food exposure scenarios involving blood, lungs and intestine are considered in the literature. The fact that plastics also needs to pass the nose, oral cavity, and throat is so far ignored in the literature. The tonsils are immunologically

BackgroundThe Minimal Insomnia Symptom Scale (MISS) is a three-item screening instrument that has been found to be psychometrically sound and capable of screening for insomnia among adults and older people. This study aimed to test the measurement properties of the MISS together with an additional item focusing on daytime functioning among adolescents using the Rasch measurement model.MethodsA cro

This chapter will follow in Reza Banakar’s footsteps by investigating legal pluralism in a globalized world. It takes the transnational legal pluralistic reality surrounding corporations as its point of departure and examines how two corporations accused of misconduct manoeuvre around the legal pluralistic terrain to their advantage, and at the same time attempt to define which laws should be appl

In this article, I examine the development of journalism in Vietnam by exploring documentation from two media aid projects carried out by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) from 1993 until 2007. The project documents contain fieldnotes, evaluations and reflections from the trainers who were recruited from Swedish media houses to conduct training in Vietnam. A qualitati
