This article examines the discourse that the idea of efficiency is built upon according to different actors trying to influence households' energy behaviour in Sweden. The focus is on information from authorities as well as from interest organisations and energy companies. Information directed to households often contains a strong idea that the individual has to take responsibility for his/her own

A service transition is supposed to lead to the decline of energy intensity (energy/GDP). We argue that this interpretation is overly optimistic because the shift to a service economy is somewhat of an illusion in terms of real production. Several recent studies of structural effects on energy intensity have made the error of using sector shares in current prices, combined with GDP in constant pri

Policies to reduce household energy use usually target the individual customer. This is probably one explanation for the limited effect of many information policies, because two concepts with different meanings are confused: individual and household. In most contexts, an individual stands for what s/he does, but in the policy context, an individual is taken to represent the entire household. This

Background As a part of the Service Organization’s earlier initiated and at the moment on-going project; “A more efficient Service Organization”, daily management has been identified as playing a major part. The starting-point for this has been to gain insight into how the Service Organization is actually performing and how it would be possible to measure, follow-up and visualize this performance.

The aim was to explore stakeholders’ perceptions of access to health and rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone. Methods: Seven focus group discussions, including stakeholders working within the field

Vi studerar blod- och immunsystemet och dess sjukdomar. Ett särskilt fokusområde är hur medfödd genetisk variation påverkar hur blod- och immunceller, och hur sådan variation kan utnyttjas kliniskt. Vilka gener och genmutationer styr t ex risken för blodcancer? Kan vi utnyttja dem för att förebygga och behandla? Vilka styr vår blodgruppsuppsättning? Kan vi utnyttja dem för säkrare transfusion? EttWe study the blood and immune system and its diseases. A particular focus area is how congenital genetic variation affects blood and immune cells, and how such variation can be utilized clinically. Which genes and gene mutations control, for example, the risk of blood cancer? Can we use them to prevent and treat? Who controls our blood group set? Can we use them for safer transfusion?
