Elites are often offered prestigious state prizes and awards. Although most elites accept, prestigious prizes constitute a challenge for others since institutional symbolic capital cannot be merely accepted, but requires careful negotiation and management. This article investigates the dilemma of being consecrated by the state by studying civil society elites’ reception and use of royal honours, t

Due to the high prevalence and great cardiovascular risks of hypertension, we need effective and evidence-based treatment strategies. Health-promoting one-way text messages could be a beneficial complement to antihypertensive drugs. However, this has yet to be proven in a primary healthcare setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate if health-promoting text messages could improve patien
Background: Gestational diabetes is one of the most common pregnancy complications, affecting 14% of all pregnancies globally, and its prevalence is increasing. Gestational diabetes is associated with short and long-term complications for both the mother and their offspring, which are possible to prevent by glycemic control mainly facilitated by healthy lifestyle behaviors. Hence, women diagnosed
Background: Poor oral health is associated with several non-communicable diseases including cardiovascular disease. There are also well-known associations between lifestyle habits, cardiovascular disease, and oral health. In Europe, SCORE2 is a recommended instrument for assessing an individual's risk of a cardiovascular event within 10 years. However, no previous studies have examined the associa
Urban planning is increasingly embedded in a neoliberal paradigm, resulting in decentralization and deregulation of planning practice. This affects how compact cities are materialized. However, few studies of the effects of neoliberal planning for density consider the resulting geographies of green space. To address this research gap, this paper explores how the idea of green space is being reconf
Globally, Sweden is often perceived as a relatively equal society. Swedish citizens pay significant amount of taxes and taxation on income is progressive. In addition, it is an explicit task of Swedish social services nationwide to counteract inequality and serve as a “last resort” for the country’s most vulnerable people.

Despite the well-documented effectiveness of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) in treating severe obesity, significant gaps persist in understanding adolescents' lived experiences and perspectives.

INTRODUCTION: Inhibitor development against factor VIII (FVIII) is the most common complication of hemophilia A replacement therapy. One of the variables considered to influence inhibitor development is the ABO blood group. Patients with blood group O have, on average, a 30%-40% lower endogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) concentration. It has been postulated that VWF levels influence inhibitor d
This paper studies if attendance to one of the first types of formal childcare establishments in early twentieth century Sweden helped children escape adverse socioeconomic circumstances in the short and long term. It uses individual longitudinal data from a middle-sized Swedish industrial town, linked to individual data on attendance to the local pre-school (for children in ages 2-7), and follows
The main aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal associations between atopic dermatitis (AD) in late adolescence and occupational socioeconomic group, labour market participation, income from work, and marital status later in adult life. Using Swedish population-based registry data a total of 205,394 men were included, born between 1952 and 1956 in Sweden and who underwent military conscrip
Listening is often ignored and not understood as an organizational strategic resource. In this conceptual article, we explain why listening is downplayed by combining the two research fields Service Management and Strategic Communication. We propose that organizations embrace service logic as a perspective of managing organizations. Service logic has a stakeholder-centric approach to value creatio
In this paper, we analyze the relationship between technological competencies (TC) and firm performance. Theoretically, the importance of TC is well established and widely accepted. Therefore, it is surprising that a number of empirical studies have been unable to confirm a substantial positive relationship between TC and firm performance. We identify two major reasons for this: [i] affected by th
