This chapter presents a methodological analysis of the use of the efficient-market hypothesis in the recent financial crisis.

The idea of employees as important (strategic) communicators has emerged in both strategic communication theory and practice during the 21st century. Researchers increasingly urge managers to consider employees as important communicators, and employees’ communication role is increasingly formalized as organizations explicate the importance of all employees taking responsibility for communication i

Non-ownership models, where firms rather than consumers remain product owners, are advocated as a way for firms to prolong product lifetimes and contribute to a more Circular Economy. However, it has been suggested that such models could actually encourage ‘faster cycling’, meaning earlier product replacement and shorter product lifetimes. Within recent policy discussions, product durability to pr

Background: Evidence from observational comparative effectiveness research (CER) is ranked below that from randomized controlled trials in traditional evidence hierarchies. However, asthma observational CER studies represent an important complementary evidence source answering different research questions and are particularly valuable in guiding clinical decision making in real-life patient and pr

Diffraction patterns from apatite-structure compounds Cd5-η/2(TO4)3X1-η with T=P, V and X=Br, I show sheets of diffuse scattering normal to c* at incommensurate l=q (q=1.63 for Cd-V-I apatite and q=1.78 for Cd-P-Br apatite), because the c repeat of the average unit cell is shorter than two X diameters. The equilibrium X..X spacing along c defines the incommensurate periodicity c/q and stoichiometr

Aims: Pain and anxiety are commonly reported among those undergoing orthopaedic surgery. Improvement in anxiety and pain control might be achieved by supplementing standard care with psychological interventions. However, the effectiveness of adjunctive psychosocial interventions in anxiety and pain control have not been addressed sufficiently by previous systematic reviews in orthopaedic surgeries

The Swedish Hernia Register (SHR) is a national quality register with more than 350,000 prospectively registered groin hernia repairs. Studies from the SHR have addressed important and clinically relevant issues within the field of laparoscopic groin hernia surgery and the aim of this paper is to present five of the most innovative patient-oriented publications including analysis of laparoscopic h

In this article, the Swedish findings from a European comparative study on 0-3-year-old children and their digital lives are presented and discussed in relation to domestication theory, including the concept of moral economy. More specifically, attention is paid to toddler's appropriation of digital technology and the parents' moral struggles: the negotiations between the parents concerning the in

Affective and anxiety diagnoses are common in older people with intellectual disability (ID). The aim was to describe support and social services for older people with ID and affective and/or anxiety diagnoses, also to investigate in this study group the association between support and social services and frailty factors in terms of specialist healthcare utilisation, multimorbidity, polypharmacy,

Aim: The overall aim of was to investigate the impact of self-reportedallergic disease on physical activity (PA) and health-related quality oflife (HRQoL) among adolescents.Methods: A cross-sectional analysis of 1 181 adolescents aged 13-14years (251 with current allergic disease), participating in the baselineinvestigation of the Southern Sweden allergy cohort, including a surveywith questions on

IMPORTANCE: Correct diagnosis of ovarian cancer results in better prognosis. Adnexal lesions can be stratified into the Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) risk of malignancy categories with either the O-RADS lexicon, proposed by the American College of Radiology, or the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) 2-step strategy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the diagnostic performance

Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr

Understanding the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) on stream water quality (WQ) is essential for conservation of ecosystem services (ES) and informing sustainable land use planning. This study investigates the influence of LULC on stream WQ during the wet and dry seasons 2022–2024, across two representative watersheds in the Bolivian central Andes, a region with marked physical gradients, a

The biogeophysical forcing resulting from the change in land-surface properties (such as albedo) is of particular interest as it can increase, decrease, or offset the biogeochemical forcing resulting from the changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations due to deforestation, forest management, or reforestation/afforestation (i.e., land-use/land-cover change, LULCC). Moreover, the biogeophy

Background: The Influenza – Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness in Europe (I-MOVE/I-MOVE+) and Vaccine Effectiveness, Burden and Impact Studies (VEBIS) hospital networks have conducted seasonal multicentre, test-negative, case–control studies in Europe to measure influenza vaccine effectiveness (IVE) since 2015/16. We measured the effect of chronic conditions on VE of influenza A subtypes among older

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability in adults worldwide, and the burden of stroke is projected to increase. Current long-term stroke outcome data including functional status, activity, and participation limitations as well as information on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are vital for future rehabilitation and resource planning of stroke survivors. Methods: First-e
