Innovation policy for system-wide transformation : The case of strategic innovation programmes (SIPs) in Sweden

The orientation towards grand societal challenges can be seen as a new wave or paradigm for innovation policy. Such policy aims at system-wide transformation and is often referred to as system innovation policy. While insights from transition studies have provided novel and useful rationales for innovation policy targeting system-wide transformation, it remains unclear how to design, implement and

Darriwilian (Middle Ordovician) chemostratigraphy linked to graptolite, conodont and trilobite biostratigraphy in the Fågelsång-3 drill core, Scania, Sweden

A recent core drilling in the geologically classical Fågelsång area resulted in a 58.70-m-long drill core through the lowermost Sandbian Sularp Shale, the Darriwilian Almelund Shale and Komstad Limestone, and part of the late Tremadocian to earliest Darriwilian Tøyen Shale. The shales contain zone index graptolites that are used for an update of the standard Darriwilian graptolite zone succession

The carbon balance of a managed boreal landscape measured from a tall tower in northern Sweden

Boreal forests exchange large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere. A managed boreal landscape usually comprises various potential CO2 sinks and sources across forest stands of varying age classes, clear-cut areas, mires, and lakes. Due to this heterogeneity and complexity, large uncertainties exist regarding the net CO2 balance at the landscape scale. In this study, we present the

Limited Consequences of a Transition From Activity-Based Financing to Budgeting : Four Reasons Why According to Swedish Hospital Managers

Activity-based financing (ABF) and global budgeting are two common reimbursement models in hospital care that embody different incentives for cost containment and quality. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe perceptions from the provider perspective about how and why replacing variable ABF by global budgets affects daily operations and provided services. The study setting is a la

Coping strategies among patients with malignant lymphoma– a qualitative study from the perspectives of Swedish patients

Educational inequalities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality among people with gout : a register-based matched cohort study in southern Sweden

BACKGROUND: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis with a rising prevalence around the globe. While educational inequalities in incidence and prevalence of gout have been reported, no previous study investigated educational inequality in mortality among people with gout. The aim of this study was to assess absolute and relative educational inequalities in all-cause and cause-specific morta
