This article draws on a decade of research in strategic communication and especially on the contributions in this special issue to propose a new and more comprehensive definition of strategic communication. We argue that strategic communication encompasses all communication that is substantial for the survival and sustained success of an entity. Specifically, strategic communication is the purpose
A holistic innovation policy is defined in this article as a policy that integrates all public actions that influence or may influence innovation processes. The Swedish National Innovation Council (NIC) was created by the Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, in February 2015. It is personally chaired by the prime minister. Another atypical characteristic of the Swedish NIC is that it has a domin
IMPORTANCE The extent to which large-caliber axonal degeneration contributes to Alzheimer disease (AD) progression is unknown. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neurofilament light (NFL) concentration is a general marker of damage to large-calibermyelinated axons. OBJECTIVE To test whether CSF NFL concentration is associated with cognitive decline and imaging evidence of neurodegeneration and white matter
Denna uppsats skrivs på uppdrag av läkemedelsföretaget QPharma. I uppsatsen undersöks tillämpningen av statistisk processtyrning (SPC) för en av QPharmas läkemedelsprodukter. I uppsatsen genomförs en utförlig litteraturstudie med fokus på teorin bakom SPC. Med hjälp av denna teoretiska bakgrund applicerar vi SPC på data insamlad av företaget. Normalsannolikhetsdiagram används för att kontrollera oThis essay was written at the behest of pharmaceutical company QPharma. The essay investigates the application of statistical process control (SPC) for one of QPharmas pharmaceutical products.

This thesis aims at comparing the differences between Chinese welfare system and Swedish welfare system in respects of maternity insurance, parental leave and childcare. The reason comparing welfare system in these specific aspects is because they have intense relations with the mothers’ and children’s benefits. They also influence the mothers’ will of pregnancy. Selecting these two countries as t
The purpose of this essay was to examine how girls aged between 16-17, born in Iran and raised in Sweden, see themselves in relation to their families and the Swedish society. Some of the questions we asked ourselves were: how do the girls relate to the Iranian culture; have the girls ever faced discrimination; is there a conflict between the Iranian values the girls meet at home and the Swedish v
Objective: To evaluate whether the duration of the active phase of labor is associated with maternal body mass index (BMI), in nulliparous women with spontaneous onset of labor. Study design: Historical prospective cohort study including 63,829 nulliparous women with a singleton pregnancy and a spontaneous onset of labor, who delivered between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 2009. Data were colle
A large number of experiments in successive tests of episodic memory have focused on an experimental paradigm called recognition failure of recallable words. In this paradigm, a cued recall test follows a recognition test. Large amounts of data have revealed a lawful moderate dependence between recognition and cued recall. TECO (Sikström, 1996b), a general connectionist theory of memory, has been

Background: Mortality among critically ill COVID-19 patients has varied globally. In Sweden, geographic differences in mortality have also been observed. The current study aimed to determine whether mortality differences persist after adjusting for differences in case-mix, and to identify potential independent factors contributing to regional variations in mortality. Methods: We conducted a multic
Introduction: Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) may cause stress-induced transient acute cardiac dysfunction through myocardial stunning, in the form of exacerbation-triggered Takotsubo syndrome (referred to as Takotsubo stunning). Although prior studies suggest an association between AECOPD and transient cardiac dysfunction, existing evidence is limited to retro

Mechanical properties and rate of ATP breakdown (JATP) have been determined in the chemically skinned guinea-pig taenia coli at 22 degrees C. The influence of varied [Ca2+], [Mg ATP] and muscle length were investigated. The shortening response after a step decrease in force (isotonic quick release) was highly curvilinear in the first 100-200 ms. This effect was shown to be a time-dependent respons
If a proper gold standard is not available, then the predictive value of a test cannot be estimated. In this paper the concept of etiologic predictive value (EPV) is introduced. It is a quantity that will yield the predictive value of a test to predict presence of a specified disease in situations for which no proper gold standard is available. This is achieved by using information obtained from a
The action of three matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), 72- and 95-kDa gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and PUMP (MMP-7), and a cysteine proteinase, cathepsin B, were investigated on aggrecan the major proteoglycan of cartilage. All the enzymes cleaved aggrecan although the activity of the 95-kDa gelatinase was very low. Specific cleavage sites were investigated following incubation with a purified agg
This review essay draws on a recently edited handbook by Esin Orucu and David Nelken to reflect on the methodological concerns and challenges of comparative law and socio-legal research. It argues that the contextualisation of laws should be regarded as the indispensable methodological characteristic of all comparative studies of law that aspire to transcend the understanding of law as a body of r
Data from measurements on the body burden Of (CS)-C-134, Cs-137 and K-40 in various Swedish populations between 1959 and 2001 has been compiled into a national database. The compilation is a co-operation between the Departments of Radiation Physics in Malmo and Goteborg, the National Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) and the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI). In a previous study the effecti
Background: Computed tomography (CT) lung densitometry has been demonstrated to be the most sensitive and specific outcome measure for the assessment of emphysema-modifying therapy, but the optimum densitometric index has yet to be determined and targeted sampling may be more sensitive than whole lung assessment. The EXAcerbations and CT scan as Lung Endpoints (EXACTLE) trial aimed to clarify the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den vanligaste barncancerformen är akut leukemi, en form av blodcancer som uppstår i immunförsvarets celler och som drabbar cirka 75 barn i Sverige varje år. Även om de flesta av barnen idag botas får en av fem återfall och då minskar överlevnaden drastiskt trots intensiv behandling. Vad det är som gör leukemin mer motståndskraftig när den återkommer vet man ännu inte iAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by an accumulation of immature lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and is the most common cancer type in children. It is an immunophenotypically, morphologically, clinically, and genetically heterogeneous disorder that comprises several distinct subtypes. Proper classification is important because determining the correct subtype plays a vital role
