Many public sector managers and professionals perceive performance measurement as an administrative burden with limited benefits. Numbers are collected for other people's purposes. At worst, poorly incentivized indicators force managers and professionals to take actions that go against the overall objectives of the organization. Professionals in sectors such as healthcare, education and social ser
Get a grip of your a guide to competence and career development Preface A company is no better than its collective competence. Your and your colleagues' knowledge, experience and ability to translate these competencies are therefore completely fundamental to Scania's success. At the same time, technological development is faster than ever. In order to be at the forefront, we need to constantly bui
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a vast influence on Swedish society. Related recommen-dations and political decisions have greatly affected schools. This study aimed to describe school nurses’ experience working in Sweden during the pandemic in 2020. The study used a qualitative method with an inductive approach. Interviews with 17 school nurses in five focus groups and one individual interview were
The article addresses the broader relationships between seaweed and algae as a marine resource, destination development, and sustainability. In many European countries, an industry around seaweed has emerged, ranging from high-end restaurants that provide their customers with local, seasonal and sustainableingredients, to entrepreneurs offering “harvest your own seaweed”-tours. In this explorative
In times of major global interconnectedness and environmental change, the pressure to identify, create, and exploit new resources is certain to intensify. Given that there are unavoidable trade-offs, conflicts, and arenas for violence involved when increasingly more material and immaterial things are turned into resources, we call for explicit research on the very process – a process that we label
The royal Danish-Norwegian flagship Gribshunden, launched in 1485, was amongthe earliest northern European warships purpose-built to carry artillery. However, King Hans employed his vessel as far more than a weapons platform. The ship was his ‘floating castle’, fulfilling all the various purposes of a land redoubt. At its loss in 1495 enroute to a political summit in Kalmar, where Hans expected to
Purpose: The sugar industry is always pressured to be suitable and enhance its operational effectiveness. Digital Twin (DT) has the potential to transform this industry. However, the lack of industry-specific Key Performance Indicator (KPI) frameworks makes it challenging to implement them. This study provides a hierarchical KPI model for DT adoption in the sugar sector, interconnecting the United
This thesis examines living conditions in Malmö during the 19th-century through the prevalence of stress related changes in an osteological material, in combination with historical archives. With a structural violence framework, the research aims to study health, nutrition, trauma and workload in individuals from the lowest socioeconomic group, soldiers and prisoners. An osteological analysis has
The language of newspapers in the public sphere has a crucial impact on how the public perceives and participates in society. It can serve to encourage or counteract active and informed citizens; in fact, it is a crucial element in democratisation processes. The purposes of the present study are to elucidate what means of persuasion are used to support theses on politics in newspaper discourse dur
This chapter explores the French approach to legislative justification in the context of environmental and climate crises. While constitutional law in France recognizes an obligation to rationalize legislation, the enforcement of this duty remains weak and largely procedural. Scientific evidence—though increasingly central to democratic legitimacy—plays a limited role in constitutional review. Ins
Both Sweden and Belgium have introduced a liberalised school system, with private schools financed by the public sector. Since this is a relatively uncommon arrangement, our study investigates if public opinions of these systems are now similar in each country. The Belgian system was introduced to guarantee religious freedom in the provision of education, while its Swedish equivalent was promised
Engaging students in active participation and collaborative learning is an important pedagogical component of teaching and learning in higher education. Teachers use a variety of activities to engage students, such as interactive lectures, presentations, group activities, and projects. A metaphorical understanding of the teaching-learning process may help in the implementation of innovative and gr
We present a brief review of literature related to blogs and news sites; our focus is on publications related to COVID-19. We primarily focus on the role of blogs and news sites in disseminating research on COVID-19 to the wider public, that is knowledge transfer channels. The review is for researchers and practitioners in scholarly communication and social media studies of science who would like
There has been widespread recognition in the Global South of the role of participatory governance approaches to urban development in responding to citizens’ immediate concerns. However, critiques note that participatory initiatives are often avenues for the political and economic elite to ensure their interests and profits, rather than improving the livelihoods in non- serviced urban peripheries.
Artikeln analyserar hur Augustinus i Sermo 9 hanterar människolivets paradoxer och svårigheter i relation till Guds löfte om evigt liv.Augustine mainly addressed men of the upper and middle classes. Their wives are assumed to be present (and, frequently, to be more pious than their husbands), but are seldom directly addressed. Servants and beggars are not addressed either, but stood to benefit from admonitions to the men in the audience, e.g. that they should give alms regularly and not sexually abuse their subordinates. All this
Cold attics are a common element present in the Swedish residential building stock. They are known to be prone to mould problems due to their low ventilation and are one of the main channels through which buildings lose heat. One of the strategies that can help solve cold attic problems and at the same time contribute to solving the housing crisis is their conversion into habitable spaces. This re
Leadership is often proposed as a key solution for social change, although the actual meaning remains unclear. By studying leadership in the context of Indian feminist NGOs’ hybridity, situated in-between Western structures and the values of the Indian Women’s Movement, I intended to deepen our understanding of the lived meaning of leadership and followership, beyond its buzzword character.
