This chapter examines elite polarisation as a challenge to governance in parliamentary democracies. We emphasise the distinction between ideological polarisation based on substantive policy disagreements from affective polarisation, characterised by identity-based animosity that creates barriers to cooperation even when policy compromise might otherwise be possible. While parliamentary regimes hav
The current rise in geopolitical tensions has heightened the need to understand the intricate relationship between sustainability and security, particularly in the context of the Global South. However, existing academic literature has paid limited attention to exploring this interconnection. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the nexus of sustainability and security in the Glo
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are crucial for cardiovascular health. HDL dysfunction is strongly linked to atherosclerosis and other diseases. Although HDL is often treated as a single entity, it comprises a spectrum of subfractions differing in size, structure, and composition. Understanding the ultrastructure and function of these subfractions is essential for uncovering the molecular mechanis
Aims: Acute myocarditis is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by myocardial inflammation and oedema. Although cardiac lymphatic vessels are essential for fluid clearance and immune regulation, their role in modulating autoimmune cardiac inflammation remains largely undefined. We aimed to determine whether promoting lymphangiogenesis could mitigate inflammation and preserve cardi
Brazed stainless steel joints are critical in heat exchanger applications but often suffer from residual stresses and brittle intermetallics. Using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and fluorescence at the DanMAX beamline, we investigated Fe-based filler joints in SS316 under tensile loading. Elemental mapping and phase analysis revealed distinct interfacial solidification zones (ISZ), atherma
I den här uppsatsen argumenterar jag för att mode är ett symbolsystem som är mer likt språket än vad konsten är likt språket. Med andra ord så menar jag att mode överlag befinner sig närmare konsten än vad det gör språket, men på skalan mellan språk och konst så befinner sig mode snäppet närmare språket. Med utgångspunkt i Nelson Goodmans teorier om symbolsystem, Ingrids Loscheks applikation av Ni
There are arguments around the nature and boundaries of the moral domain, with this current paper aiming to delineate one of these arguments. With a basis in George Sher's (2021) discussion of cognitions (beliefs, fantasies, attitudes and some thoughts), the paper defends the notion that they are, in fact, morally relevant. By combining the logic of truth-aptness with the phenomenology of agen
Städer världen över har sedan pandemin genomgått en, för många, dold förändring. De av gemene man ofta förbisedda kontorslokalerna, som historiskt mer eller mindre hyrt ut sig själva, ekar numera på flera håll tomma. David Lindskog och Elmer Olsson har, i ett examensarbete vid LTH, studerat drivkrafterna bakom vakansutvecklingen i kontorssegmentet och hur riskinformation om kontorshyresgäster kan The Swedish office real estate market has entered a period marked by rising vacancies, accelerating polarization between submarkets, and a structural reorientation of tenant demand partly as a result of hybrid work trends. Earlier research has established that tenant characteristics, creditworthiness, sector exposure, contract structure, and concentration bear directly on risk, property values, an
In recent decades, organizations have undergone a fundamental shift from selling physical products to offering services and most recently, data-driven offerings. This transition has elevated data to a central organizational resource and given rise to new service models, most notably Data-as-a-Service, DaaS. While the costs associated with developing and maintaining data infrastructure are often me
Denna artikel bygger på ett examensarbete genomfört vid Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset och sammanfattar dess genomförande och mest centrala insikter. Genom en scenariobaserad fallstudie analyserades de hälsoekonomiska och de organisatoriska konsekvenserna av att införa helgenom- och heltranskriptomsekvensering inom den kliniska rutinen för barncancer, i jämförelse med konventionella diagnostik mPrecision medicine is transforming healthcare by enabling diagnostics and treatment tailored to each patient’s unique biological characteristics. Whole genome sequencing and whole transcriptome sequencing (WGTS) have recently been introduced as clinical routine for pediatric cancer in Sweden, but the health economic and organizational consequences of this shift have not yet been fully mapped. Th
Texas is the leading destination for foreign direct investment in the United States. The opening of a Swedish Consulate General in the state in 2026 underscores its growing importance for Swedish corporate expansion. Swedish presence in the state, however, is concentrated in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston and remains thin in Austin and at the start-up and scale-up level. The Texan business landscap
Sweden has established itself as one of the world’s most dynamic environments for digital innovation, producing globally successful B2C platform companies despite its small domestic market. Building on strong social infrastructure, high digital maturity, and adaptive legal and economic systems, the country has fostered firms such as Spotify, Klarna, Skype, and Mojang Studios, demonstrating how Swe
This thesis addresses production planning and scheduling in sawmill operations, which involve a unique production flow characterized by both divergence and convergence. The study is conducted in collaboration with Södra Skogsägarna ekonomisk förening. Its objective is to identify existing production planning and scheduling approaches from the academic literature and to select the most suitable app

The management of the mining sector in Sierra Leone is characterised by numerous integrations of government and donor agency policies, resembling that of global development agendas advocating for improvements of governance, transparency, capacity building and revenue generation. We must view the global policies in their local scales in order to substantiate their actual effects. The central argu
