This book examines how caseworkers are governed in today’s street-level bureaucracies. It redefines our understanding of public sector governance by highlighting the subtle, informal, and everyday forms of organizational governance that shape caseworkers’ subjectivities beyond formal policies and professional identities. Based on four distinct types of normative governance – ‘governance by discour
We study in detail the linear flow of particles on a graph with one vertex and k+1 infinite edges. This has a rich environment with many different emergent behaviours depending on the system parameters. The abrupt change in the behaviour of the system along a continuous change of the parameters manifests multiple phase transitions.We discuss the physical interpretation of the considered simple modWe study in detail the linear flow of particles on a graph with onevertex and k+1 infinite edges.

Hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) is a renewable diesel fuel used to replace petroleum diesel. The organic compounds in HVO are poorly characterized; therefore, toxicological properties could be different from petroleum diesel exhaust. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exposure and effective biomarkers in 18 individuals after short-term (3 h) exposure to HVO exhaust and petroleum diesel exh
We study the mapping and reporting of climate-related risks among firms listed on the NasdaqOMX stock exchange in Stockholm in four goods producing industries. Our study contains two parts: i) a study of the firms’ external communication through their annual reports, sustainability reports and webpages, and ii) a follow-up survey to the top management team.

In this essay the media depictions of the funeral of the former Swedish prime minister Karl Staaff in 1915 are investigated. It shows that, in a pre-democratic state such as early twentieth-century Sweden, media events did not necessarily voice a hegemonic ideology or harmonious sense of community spirit. Rather, mediated public space, even at the commemoration of a former prime minister, could be
