Reflecting on the bologna outcome space: some pitfalls to avoid? : Exploring Universities in Sweden and the Netherlands

Regulating Third Party Assurance Engagements on Sustainability Reports : Insights from the Swedish Case

It is a well-institutionalised notion that information subjected to assurance (audit) by third parties contributes to better quality information for decision making. In the field of sustainability reporting, who are providing assurance and how is quality regulated? What are the challenges of regulating sustainability assurance through standards?

A network analysis of clinical variables in chronic pain: a study from the Swedish quality registry for pain rehabilitation (SQRP)

Background. Efforts to identify specific variables that impact most on outcomes from interdisciplinary pain rehabilitation are challenged by the complexity of chronic pain. Methods to manage this complexity are needed. The purpose of the study was to determine the network structure entailed in a set of self-reported variables, examine change, and look at potential predictors of outcome, from a net

Relationships Between Diabetes Duration, Metabolic Control and β‐cell Function in a Representative Population of Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Sweden

To clarify whether metabolic control and β‐cell function deteriorate with increasing duration of diabetes, we investigated in a cross‐sectional study Type 2 diabetic patients in an area‐based population. Type 2 diabetic patients (n = 231: 112 males, 119 females) were identified by age at onset > 35 years, fasting levels of C‐peptide > 0.04 nmol l−1, and absence of islet cell antibodies. Body weigh

Health-promoting and preventive interventions for community-dwelling older people published from inception to 2019 : a scoping review to guide decision making in a Swedish municipality context

Background: Despite the promising evidence of health-promoting and preventive interventions for maintaining health among older people, not all interventions can be implemented due to limited resources. Due to the variation of content in the interventions and the breadth of outcomes used to evaluate effects in such interventions, comparisons are difficult and the choice of which interventions to im

Tobacco smoking, snuff dipping and the risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma : a nationwide cohort study in Sweden

We investigated whether tobacco use causes cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) in a large cohort study with complete and long-term follow-up. A total of 756 incident cases occurred in a cohort of 337,311 men during a 30-year follow-up period, but no association was found between any kind of smoking tobacco use and CSCC risk, nor any risk change with increasing dose, duration or time since smo
