Public authorities produce policy documents (PDs) to inform and guide pandemic preparedness. Such documents were widely developed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, including in Sweden. Despite this, the crisis response revealed significant shortcomings. This study examines how the preconditions for an effective and ethically responsible pandemic response are articulated in Swedish healthcare policy
Western-based LGBTQIA+ mobilisations have often been described as both internally fragmented and isolated from other social struggles. However, recent studies show that LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*, queer, intersex, asexual/aromantic and other) organisations have increasingly used social media to span organisational boundaries by networking with other groups and framing common concerns
Drawing on social movements and gender studies, the article aims at exploring repertoires of action articulated by LGBTQ communities in Egypt, Tunisia, and Turkey during and after the 2011 and 2013 protests. The aim is to disentangle how LGBTQ individuals mobilized in the MENA region and which role civil society organizations and digital technologies played in the development of such mobilizations
European LGBTQIA* organizations have often been perceived as isolated from other organizations. While investigations have suggested that social media platforms foster inter-organizational ties, their role in promoting or dampening within- and cross-field interactions is understudied. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the factors shaping within- and cross-field digital interactions es
Ojämlikhet och fattigdom utgör centrala utmaningar för den svenska välfärds-staten i en tid av ökade levnadskostnader och skärpta villkor i trygghetssys-temen. Denna artikel syftar till att utveckla ett praktiknära analytiskt stöd för att förstå hur ojämlikhet formas och reproduceras inom socialt arbete. Med utgångspunkt i två empiriska studier baserade på intervjuer med 38 yrkes-verksam
Feminist social reproduction theories and approaches capture multiple scales of analysis, from everyday care work within households to the reproductive aspects of welfare systems such as health and education. Feminist thinkers draw our attention to the gendered, racialized, and classed intersections embedded within production processes, by analyzing the ecological, biological, and social dimension
Independent-living senior housing (ILSH) is viewed as a promising housing alternative for promoting active aging, yet evidence remains limited on how spatial design and programming support social engagement. This study examined residents’ use of common spaces, evaluations of community programs, and perceived social opportunities in affordable ILSH. A three-site case study in Metro Boston used mixe
AIMS: Osteoarthropathy, a rare foot complication in patients with diabetes mellitus, calls for immediate and optimal management to prevent irreversible bone/joint destruction and risk of amputation. Awareness of the condition and adequate guidelines would minimize the consequences and the costs, both for the patient and for the society. We investigated the diabetic osteoarthropathy care in Swedish
Introduction: Restoration of surgical capacity is essential to post-COVID-19 recovery. This study explored the use and safety of anaesthesia options for inguinal hernia surgery, a common tracer condition, to describe current global practice and highlight opportunities to build the capacity of health systems.Methods: This is a secondary analysis of an international prospective cohort study of conse
Marco Polos klassiska reseskildring har gjort honom till en av tidernas stora resenärer. Med avfärd 1271 tog sig den unge venetianaren, tillsammans med far och farbror, över Asiens väldiga landmassa ända till Kina, kom i mongolhärskarens tjänst och återvände inte till sitt hemland förrän 1295 – där det hände sig att han togs som krigsfånge av det rivaliserande Genua. Och det var där, i fångenskape

The Alevis are not one but many historical and present-day communities in Turkey and Europe with close but not identical beliefs, practices, and identities. Their traditions are linked to Anatolian cultural traditions and to Turkish and Kurdish ethnic differentiations and affiliations influenced by the contentions between Islam and secularism salient in Turkish society. This article gives an overv
We propose an endogenous architecture where a market designer can impose arbitrary restrictions on the price space, the capacity structure, the entitlement structure, and the rationing system (the architectural components). This not only generates a specific matching model, but it also endogenously generates an equilibrium concept, a domain of preference profiles, and a matching mechanism (the arc
Background and Objectives: Navigation systems are designed to enhance surgical precision, improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of implant misplacement. In this study, we have evaluated a novel orthopedic surgical platform that utilizes CT imaging with AI-based algorithms to automate several critical aspects of total hip arthroplasty. It contains three modules-preoperative planning, nav
Background: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated. While dopaminergic treatments have been associated with behavioural adverse effects, the relationship between pramipexole treatment and incident substance use disorder in psychiatric populations remains poorly understoBackground: Over the past decades, evidence supporting the antidepressant efficacy of the dopamine agonist pramipexole as an augmentation strategy in mood disorders has accumulated.

The inappropriate parking of free-floating shared bikes is a critical issue that needs to be addressed to realize the potential environmental, socioeconomic, and health benefits of this emerging green mode of transport. To address this challenge, this paper developes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) framework for geo-fence planning of dockless bi
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a growing global disorder associated with several complications that include micro- and macrovascular disturbances. Conditions affecting the foot make up one of the major complications of the disease. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate how developed the diabetic foot care is in Sweden, with the ultimate goal being to identify areas needing improvement.This
