För 300 år sedan avrättades en man och hans avlidna hustrus syster ifall det avslöjades att de hade haft sexuellt umgänge. Deras relation definierades som incestuös och benådningar var sällsynta. Incestförbuden omfattade då många fler relationskategorier än idag och fram till sent 1800-tal var de flesta incestuösa relationer frivilliga föreningar mellan två vuxna individer som saknade biologiska s

In order to make our production and consumption systems more sustainable, there is a need to further explore and support novel business models with higher sustainability potential. Use-oriented product-service systems (u-PSS) are considered a promising alternative to traditional ownership-based business models, as they may result in lower environmental impacts. The presence of u-PSS in consumer go

Evaluations hold the potential to support decision-making so that current global challenges related to climate and energy can be addressed; however, as the challenges are becoming increasingly large and complex, new and transformative evaluation approaches are called for.

Using observational data to assess the treatment effects on outcomes of kidney transplantation relative to dialysis for patients on renal replacement therapy is challenging due to the non-random selection into treatment. This study applied the propensity score weighting approach in order to address the treatment selection bias of kidney transplantation on survival time compared with dialysis for p

Äldreboenden har traditionellt uppfattats som dystra platser. Livet på äldreboenden har skildrats i termer av isolering och passivitet, och själva platsen har beskrivits som ’dödens väntrum’. Krav på organisatorisk förbättring, ökad insyn och styrning har framförts i media och i den allmänna debatten. Under senare år har ökad marknadisering, granskning och medialisering förändrat villkoren i de sv

This paper examines astrology, a concept that is considered unscientific by broad segments of the population in the western world. Despite this, astrology remains for some an important source for advice regarding choices in a range of different matters, including career and relationships. The continuing popularity of astrology may at least partly be linked to an insufficient body of empirical rese

Improving energy performance of the housing stock continues to be an important undertaking in the energy transition of many EU member states. However, tendencies of low-income households generally living in buildings with low energy performance pose a challenge for this transition, and cases of ‘renoviction’ and ‘green gentrification’ are becoming more and more noticed in the scientific community.
