Suppose an act of caring can be at once good, even admirable, and still help sustain a system that harms people and our shared world. In this paper, I reflect on interviews with street-level bureaucrats working with civil society to maintain and repair collective capacities for problem-solving and collective reflection in segregated Swedish cities. I want to explore how seeing their work as a form
Private labels (PL) have gone from being a marginal and rather odd phenomenon in the gro-cery sector 20 years ago, to having a prominent role in the grocery retailing landscape, ac-counting for approximately 25-30% of what is sold in Swedish food stores today. Given the enormous turnover of the grocery trade, amounting to 326 billion SEK in 2023 according to Statistics Sweden (SCB), this is a rema
This article conducts a multi-scalar analysis of the dynamics between secularism and religion in contemporary Sweden and highlights a growing divide between them, in the wake of neoliberal reconfigurations of the welfare state and a stronger religious pluralism in public space. Through an analysis of the public debate around conversion attempts and state funding for religious organizations, we exp
IMPORTANCE: The successful implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care depends on its acceptance by key stakeholders, particularly patients, who are the primary beneficiaries of AI-driven outcomes.OBJECTIVES: To survey hospital patients to investigate their trust, concerns, and preferences toward the use of AI in health care and diagnostics and to assess the sociodemographic fact
An underinformative sentence, such as Some cats are mammals, is trivially true with a semantic (some and perhaps all) reading of the quantifier and false with a pragmatic (some but not all) one, with the latter reliably resulting in longer response times than the former in a truth evaluation task (Bott & Noveck, 2004). Most analyses attribute these prolonged reaction times, or costs, to the st
In mid 90’s, productivity growth rate started to accelerate in the USA. The sources of this resurgence were the IT-producing industry and the IT-using market services. Meanwhile, Europe was still suffering from the low level of productivity growth rates. This fact leads to pessimistic assessments about the economic future of Europe. However, this paper uncovers that productivity growth rate starte
One of the most common reasons for a firm to merge is that a merger is believed to generate economic efficiency. This argument has different aspects as mergers may yield efficiency gains in various ways. Economists often distinguish between three different classes of efficiencies: Allocative efficiency, productive efficiency and dynamic efficiency. All three classes are relevant in the analysis of

I denna rapport har balkonginfästningar för en fastighet på Bo01-området i Malmö studerats. Fastigheten som heter Vitruvius innehåller fyra byggnader där två av dem har utkragande balkonger med intermittent infästning. Intermittent infästning innebär att den 50 mm köldbryggebrytande isoleringen som balkongerna är utrustade med, bryts regelbundet av en 300 mm betongklack. Armeringsjärnet som spänneIn this report the balconies’ abutments for a property in Bo01-area in Malmö has been studied. The property which is called Vitruvius contains four build-ings where two of them have corbelling balconies with intermittent abutments. With intermittent abutment means that the 50 mm thermal bridge insulation that the balconies is equipped with, is broken regularly by a 300 mm concrete heel. The reinfo
This thesis asks why the EU has expanded its military interventions in Somalia to a broad, multifaceted engagement. The thesis is a theoretically-informed, empirically-driven case study. The analysis rest on three theoretical concepts of global justice. I have formulated assumptions from these conceptions of global justice, which direct the analysis in answering the research question. The primary
Den internationaliserade värld vi idag lever i ställer krav på rättsordningar att hantera vissa fenomen, även om de inte förekommer inom det egna samhället. Trots att barnäktenskap inte är möjliga att ingå i Sverige måste frågan hanteras, eftersom det är vanligt att gifta barn från andra länder förflyttar sig hit. Den legala äktenskapsåldern varierar mellan länder och det räcker inte att civilrättThe internationalized world of today demands legal systems to consider certain phenomena, even if they do not occur within their own society. Even though child marriage is not possible in Sweden, the issue must be discussed, as it is common for married children from other countries to move here. The legal age of marriage varies from country to country and it is not enough to set an age limit for m
It is well documented that invasive species could have significant impacts on the native ecosystem in its introduced range. Recently the Baltic Sea has been invaded by the North American Harris mud crab, Rhithropanopeus harrisii (Gould 1841). This crab could potentially have big impacts on the ecosystem since there is a lack of crabs in the Baltic Sea. This study aimed to evaluate what impacts R.
Tax avoidance has never been fought this aggressively. The EU drafted ATAD to follow the BEPS work and they chose a minimum directive as the legislative instrument. Principle of subsidiarity and the reasoned opinions of the Malta and Sweden are analysed to support the findings of the research. The Directive goes further than the previous case law on abusive situations, and this will be analysed in
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, affecting similar to 5.2 million people worldwide. Continuous subcutaneous apomorphine (CSAI) represents an alternative treatment option for advanced PD with motor fluctuation. The purpose of this analysis was to estimate the cost-effectiveness of CSAI compared with Levodopa/carbidopa intestinal gel (LCIG), D
Tasquinimod (a quinoline-3-carboxyamide) is a small molecule immunotherapy with demonstrated effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) involving immunomodulation, anti-angiogenesis and inhibition of metastasis. A target molecule of tasquinimod is the inflammatory protein S100A9 which has been shown to affect the accumulation and function of suppressive myeloid cell subsets in tumors. Given the m
Objective: to describe the experiences of immigrant parents of an ultrasound examination in the second trimester of pregnancy, highlighting information, communication, thoughts, feelings and well-being. Methods: An exploratory, qualitative study using in-depth interviews with parents separately. Content analysis was used. A total of nine Farsi-speaking couples, in all 18 persons, who now live in S
M2-type phases M3TeO10 (M = Mo and V), belonging to the Mo-V-Nb-Te-oxide system, were prepared by substituting to various degrees the M-metal with W, Ti, Nb or Fe, and Te with Ce. The compositions were characterized by BET, XRD and XPS and were studied for propene ammoxidation. The variations of the unit cell parameters with substitution reveal that the orthorhombic, pseudo-hexagonal M2 structure
