For many decades, Ingemar Ståhl was a well-known economist in Sweden. He introduced new perspectives into research, teaching and public debate. He made his presence felt in areas as diverse as housing policy, defense economics, energy policy, financial economics, industrial policy, higher education, union controlled wage earner funds, law and economics, health-care economics and taxation. He advoc

In a historical perspective, the stabilization policy regime in Sweden is in a state of constant change, affected by economic crises, international impulses, domestic politics, and developments in macroeconomic theory. Economists have been deeply involved in this process. The current framework for monetary and fiscal policy, with an independent central bank focusing on inflation targeting, and a r

This study contributes to a growing stream of literature on servitization in management accounting. In extension to recent explorations in servitization and management accounting, this paper presents how KPIs in innovation reflect the shift towards servitization. The chosen methodology, participatory action design, gives a unique insight how organizations respond and construct KPIs (key performanc

The aim of this explorative study is to examine the theorical notions in the business model of innovatin that are influence by use of management control systems (MCS). By means of a systematic literature review, the theoretical contrructs are explored and related to part of the MCS, namely the performance measurement systems (PMS) and the business model of innovation (i.e. innovation input, proces

Background: A long-term prospective observational safety study is essential to characterize fully the safety profile of systemic immunomodulating therapies for patients with atopic eczema. The TREatment of ATopic eczema (TREAT) Registry Taskforce offers a large platform to conduct such research using national registries that collect the same data using a predefined core dataset. Objectives: To pre

We investigated the duration of suppression-induced forgetting (SIF), and the extent to which retrieval suppression differs between negative and neutral memories. We further examined if SIF was differently affected by sleep versus wake during the delay interval between retrieval suppression and re-test. Fifty participants first learned to associate neutral words with either neutral or negative ima

Describing the motion in a vertical roller coaster loop requires a good understanding of Newton's laws, vectors and energy transformation. This paper describes how first-year students try to make sense of force and acceleration in this example of non-uniform circular motion, which was part of a written exam. In addition to an analysis of the exam solutions by about 60 students, a group interview w

By means of a systematic literature review, the theoretical constructs are explored and related to part of the MCS, namely the performance measurement systems (PMS) and the business model of innovation (i.e. innovation input, process, output, and outcome). The results of the systematic literature review will be used to develop a set o

The Circumpolar North has been changing rapidly within the last decades, and the socioeconomic systems of the Eurasian Arctic and Siberia in particular have displayed the most dramatic changes. Here, anthropogenic drivers of environmental change such as migration and industrialization are added to climate-induced changes in the natural environment such as permafrost thawing and increased frequency

The interplay between innovation and measurement has fascinated scholars from several disciplines over the last decade. All these diverse contributions, however, have resulted in a current state of knowledge that is signified by large numbers of articles without clear integration and synthesis. Therefore the aim of this explorative thesis is to examine the theoretical and empirical notions of inno

Objective: Higher gluten intake, frequent gastrointestinal infections and adenovirus, enterovirus, rotavirus and reovirus have been proposed as environmental triggers for coeliac disease. However, it is not known whether an interaction exists between the ingested gluten amount and viral exposures in the development of coeliac disease. This study investigated whether distinct viral exposures alone

Fungi play many essential roles in ecosystems. They facilitate plant access to nutrients and water, serve as decay agents that cycle carbon and nutrients through the soil, water and atmosphere, and are major regulators of macro-organismal populations. Although technological advances are improving the detection and identification of fungi, there still exist key gaps in our ecological knowledge of t

As a result of the huge economic and industrial development that human has been experiencing for decades or centuries, there are millions of potentially contaminated sites around the globe. Potentially contaminated sites are those which industrial, agricultural, mining and waste containment activities with potential to contaminate soil and groundwater has taken place in. A small number of these co
