När den statliga revisionen har ett främjande syfte och är problemorienterad kan värdet av revisionen inte utvärderas på traditionellt sätt. Då ligger värdet främst i själva granskningsprocessen och i det kunskapsutbyte som sker under denna. För att undersöka hur Riksrevisionens effektivitetsrevisioner upplevs, har en enkätstudie genomförts. Studien riktade sig till involverade i granskningarna un

Att göra problemen i Riksrevisionens ledning enbart till en fråga om felrekryteringar, såsom Gunnar Axen gör i sin replik, är att göra det lätt för sig. Riksrevisorerna i Sverige har betydligt mer makt än riksrevisorer i övriga nordiska länder. Det finns därför en gräns för hur fritt spelrum de bör ha. Oberoende ska inte föranleda beröringsskräck och det vaccinerar inte mot ansvar. Oberoende ska i

This article presents a corpus-based analysis of stance in a specialized corpus of annual and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reports. It investigates how companies use stance expressions to construct and promote a positive corporate identity in order to gain the trust of the stakeholder groups that these texts target. The results show that companies profile distinct identities in annual and

The purpose of this paper is to describe and produce a more profound understanding of how communication professionals perceive that they realize strategic communication in organizations. Another aim is to deepen the understanding of what consequences the strategic work with communication has for the co-creation of meaning in which the organization is constituted. The paper is based on a qualitativ

Recognition and removal of apoptotic and necrotic cells must be efficient and highly controlled to avoid excessive inflammation and autoimmune responses to self. The complement system, a crucial part of innate immunity, plays an important role in this process. Thus, apoptotic and necrotic cells are recognized by complement initiators such as C1q, mannose binding lectin, ficolins, and properdin. Th

Human bone marrow contains a population of non-hematopoietic stromal stem/progenitor cells (BMSCs), which play a central role for bone marrow stroma and the hematopoietic microenvironment. However, the precise characteristics and potential stem cell properties of defined BMSC populations have not yet been thoroughly investigated. Using standard adherent colony-forming unit fibroblast (CFU-F) assay

Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) represents a heterogeneous group of rare disorders of coz1rnification with 3 major subtypes: harlequin ichthyosis (HI), lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE). A 4th subtype has also been proposed: pleomorphic ichthyosis (PI), characterized by marked skin changes at birth and subsequently mild symptoms. In nationwid

Acetaminophen (APAP) overdoses are of major clinical concern. Growing evidence underlines a pathogenic contribution of sterile postinjury inflammation in APAP-induced acute liver injury (APAP-ALI) and justifies development of anti-inflammatory therapies with therapeutic efficacy beyond the therapeutic window of the only current treatment option, N-acetylcysteine (NAC). The inflammatory mediator, h

This study examines temporal trends in deaths due to fire-related accidents in Sweden from 1952 to 2013 based on statistics in the Cause of Death register held by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. Fatalities coded with underlying cause of death associated with fire-related accidents are included and absolute numbers and age-adjusted mortality rates are calculated and statistically

Benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, TMA) molecules in gas-phase have been investigated by using valence band photoemission. The photoelectron spectrum in the binding energy region from 9 to 22 eV is interpreted by using density functional theory calculations. The electronic structure of TMA is compared with benzene and benzoic acid in order to demonstrate changes in molecular orbital

Overall water resources evaluations including groundwater contributions to river flow are critical for assessing climate change and drought impacts on basin hydrological responses. By utilising precipitation, daily stream flow and simulated river discharge alteration data, this study introduces a simple but comprehensive methodology to better understand the potential impact of river regulation cou

Objectives The aim was to study blood transfusions and blood product ratios in massively transfused patients treated for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (rAAAs). Methods This was a registry based cohort study of rAAA patients repaired at three major vascular centres between 2008 and 2013. Data were collected from the Swedish Vascular Registry, hospitals medical records, and local transfusion r

HDL is believed to be protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD) via the reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory actions in the vessel. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is an apolipoprotein mainly associated with HDL. Recently ApoM was proven tobe the main carrier of Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in circulation. SIP is a signaling phospholipid involved in the immune system, exerting most o
