In this presentation I discuss modern psychiatry, esp. neuropsychiatry, from the perspectives of philosophy and sociology of science. It is argued that there exist a number of tensions and ‘incommensurabilities’ in the field that are hard to overcome, thus giving rise to controversies. I separate four types of tensions, belonging to different ‘boxes.’ The first is called cognitive/internal, compri

Packaging logistics is fundamental to the success of retail supply chains. Implementing systemwide change in this field is however complex. This paper introduces packaging logistics in retail supply chains and compares and contrasts the change processes in the introduction of plastic trays to retail food systems in the UK and Sweden.

Frågor kring tillit i det digitala, tycks det, ställs oftare och oftare: Hur ska vi hantera integritets- och övervakningsfrågor? Hur ska vi hantera den mätbarhet som följer av vår digitaliserade tillvaro? Vad är det som avgör vilka tjänster vi litar på och vilka vi inte litar på, i vilken mån spelar den tekniska säkerheten en roll? Liknande frågor kan ställas om vilka kunskapsinstitutioner vi lita

Background:Commonly used islet transplantation protocols experiencesignificant islet injury and graft loss; therefore new methods to support thelong-term benefits of this treatment are needed. Recent studies have shownthat non-endothelial bone marrow-derived multipotent adult progenitor cells(MAPC) possess significant immune-modulating abilities and can secreteangiogenic molecules, which could mak

BACKGROUND: Platelets are a critical element in coagulation and inflammation, and activated platelets are linked to cancer risk through diverse mechanisms. However, a causal relationship between platelets and risk of lung cancer remains unclear. METHODS: We performed single and combined multiple instrumental variable Mendelian randomization analysis by an inverse-weighted method, in addition to a

Det är mycket rörelse på AI-fronten nu – både rättsligt, tekniskt och politiskt. Stefan Larsson, jurist och docent i teknik och social förändring vid Lunds universitet, placerar in EU-lagstiftarens AI-förordning i en både global och svensk kontext. Han beskriver processen bakom lagstiftningen, de etiska och principiella grunderna, och hur EU-lagstiftaren hanterar AI-innovationernas explosionsartad

This article investigates the dependence on standard contracts in Swedish construction law, particularly AB 04 and ABT 06, due to a lack of specialized laws. Comparing them to similar contracts from other Nordic countries demonstrates the value of cross-border legal understanding. A 2018 Swedish Supreme Court judgment highlights this technique, implying that comparative analysis might improve lega

The technical structures of social media are continuously changing and, therefore, so are the conditions for digital advocacy. Extensive research has focused on different digital advocacy strategies. However, there h
