In recent years, there has been a growing scholarly interest in the cultural and political significance of joyful, positive and nostalgic memories and forms of remembrance. Without downplaying the role of trauma and oppression in the mnemonic makeup of contemporary societies, memory scholars have increasingly pointed to the co-existence, or parallel existence, of brighter recollections of the past
This paper addresses the conflict between an ethics of care and instrumental concerns in caring leadership. Caring leadership has become increasingly popular in organisation and management studies, encompassing a view of leadership that emphasises that paying attention to relational concerns is a fundamental duty of managers in contemporary organisations. It emphasises leaders seeing employees not
Background: Associations between high physical activity (PA) levels and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is found in some earlier studies. We aim to study the association between levels of PA and AF in two cohorts. Methods: We used data from the Uppsala Longitudinal Study of Adult Men (ULSAM) study, initiated in 1970, included men aged 50 years, with 2202 included in the study. Examinations were
Background: Patients with hemophilia are reported to have a high prevalence of established and potential risk factors for kidney dysfunction and damage. However, comprehensive studies specifically evaluating kidney function in hemophilia, particularly hemophilia B (HB), are limited, with most research focusing on hemophilia A. Objectives: This study aimed to assess markers of glomerular filtration
Greta Thunberg has gained increasing attention in global climate politics, in particular since the Fridays for Future movement she initiated in 2018. Attention has also come with criticism, denouncing her for being part of a transnational youth climate elite made up of privileged youth. However, does such an elite really exist, and what does it mean for global climate politics? This article invest
Enabling journeys from door-to-door is an essential part of attracting people towards public transport and away from the private car. Facilitating such journeys requires comprehensive and integrated planning across modal and spatial boundaries. Public transport governance, however, is often constrained by fragmented, multi-level structures and regulatory barriers that limit the ability of responsi
Investigation of the properties of membrane proteins (MPs) is essential to the successful development of medicines and biotechnology. However, their study is often complicated by denaturation caused by the use of detergents during conventional extraction methods. Copolymers of styrene and maleic acid (SMA) have shown promise in extracting MPs directly from cells while reconstituting lipid mem
Cross-country regressions suggest that protectionism supported industrialization. I leverage novel and highly granular data covering Swedish manufacturing firms to estimate the impact of Sweden’s shift toward protectionism after 1891 on establishment-level development. Using mainly two-way fixed effects regressions, I show that tariff increases had a heterogeneous impact across establishments: ini
Despite significant efforts to reconstruct the Holocene glacial history in Scandinavia, evidence of glacier fluctuations in Sweden has mostly been limited to palaeoclimatic proxies, while dating of direct geological evidence from glacier forelands is still rare. This is the first study in Sweden that has attempted to fully reconstruct dynamics, chronology and palaeoclimate of a glacier throughout
Using newly digitised colonial medical time-series data, this study makes a first attempt to provide an overview of the development of Western healthcare in Northern Rhodesia. The data is used to elaborate on the extent of the Christian missionary medical outreach to the African populace and the involvement of the African medical workers in establishing and expanding the Western healthcare system
This book is designed to help practitioners understand the growing potential for the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) outcomes in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations sector. Through a series of cutting-edge practical cases, an international team of researchers and practitioners examine the benefits, barriers, and ch
Despite a flurry of critical analyses discussing its controversial track record in terms of effectiveness and social feasibility, carbon offsetting remains one of the key mechanisms within global climate governance. We address an understudied dimension of the offsetting paradigm, with a focus on the voluntary carbon market and nature-based ‘solutions’, to inquire whether carbon trading constitutes
Aims Aortic valve calcification (AVC) is an underlying pathophysiological mechanism for aortic stenosis that is common in the elderly, but less is known in younger individuals. The aim was to study the prevalence and associated characteristics of AVC in a middle-aged general population. Methods and results Data were obtained from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS) comprising 30 15
The aim of this paper is to explore how Edmund Husserl's phenomenological account of empathy, as well as Emmanuel Levinas' critical reception of the same, could contribute with clarity to the debate over the relevance of empathy to social work ethics. I suggest that more attention should be given to the pre-reflective character of empathy, according to Husserl's account. This resonates with Levina
Swedish Sign Language [svenskt teckenspråk, STS] has often been described as being the first officially recognised sign language in the world, passed into law in 1981. This was a parliamentary decision that later led to the provision of bimodal-bilingual education and the keeping of a separate school system for deaf students. However, today, STS is not granted the same rights as the five declared
