This article argues that values that apply to health care allocation entail the possibility of “spectrum arguments,” and that it is plausible that they often fail to determine a best alternative. In order to deal with this problem, a two-step process is suggested. First, we should identify the Strongly Uncovered Set that excludes all alternatives that are worse than some alternatives and not bette

Against the backdrop of tension between China and the United States, both South Korea and Europe are keen to find ways to diversify their R&D partners.

Brandskum som innehåller per- och polyfluorerade ämnen (PFAS), på engelska Aqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF), är en av de främsta källorna till föroreningarna i Sverige. Grundvattenförorening orsakat av användandet av AFFF under brandövningar har undersökts i Kallinge, Blekinge. I området har grundvattnet använts som råvatten vilket resulterat i förhöjda halter av PFAS i dricksvattnet. Liknande faAqueuous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) containing Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) is one of the major sources of groundwater contamination in Sweden. Groundwater contamination caused by the use of AFFF in correlation to fire training events was investigated in Kallinge, Sweden. At the site groundwater was previously used as a drinking water source consequently affecting the inhabit

This chapter examines how multinational corporations communicatively navigate moral responsibility during geopolitical crises, focusing on the war in Ukraine. As corporations increasingly are expected to engage with social and political issues, their actions, or inactions, are interpreted as moral stances. We contend that a feminist ethics of care offers a compelling approach through which to unde

In this study, the initial aim was to combine the roles as teacher and researcher in a project called “The Inner Teacher”. The teacher-researcher wanted to study if, and in that case how, organ students on an academic level had access to an inner teacher when approaching a written piece of organ music. The study was interrupted by the fact that the teacher-researcher failed to act as planned when

In 1689 the Danish royal antiquary Thomas Bartholin the Younger (1659–1690) published a celebrated antiquarian work on the attitudes, customs, and rituals of the pagan inhabitants of Scandinavia. It has been deemed significant both for influencing the development of the historical conception of the ‘Viking Age’ in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and for introducing a rigorous source-criti

Prior research has shown that companies in various industrial contexts need to achieve both exploitation of current knowledge and technologies to make profits today, and exploration of new knowledge and technologies to adapt to changing conditions and prepare for tomorrow’s demands. The capacity to achieve both exploration and exploitation is especially problematic in project based organizations d

Background: Breathlessness is common in the population and can be related to a range of medical conditions. We aimed to evaluate the burden of breathlessness related to different medical conditions in a middle-aged population. Methods: Cross-sectional analysis of the population-based Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study of adults aged 50–64 years. Breathlessness (modified Medical Research Counci

Catalonia, like the rest of Spain, is a homeownership society. The most recent official statistics (2011) state that 74 per cent of the population are homeowners, 20 per cent are tenants and 2 per cent live in social housing. Related to tenure status, the state of housing in Catalonia – the second wealthiest autonomous community in Spain – has undergone noteworthy shifts in the first decades of th
