The article presents unaccompanied refugee children’s current situation in Sweden from a child-centred perspective. Interviews were conducted with 26 children. A key finding was that the way individuals perceived their situation was highly dependent on the status of their asylum application. In cases where all instances of the Swedish asylum process had been involved, the children described their
Purpose: This study aims to examine the role of gender balance in forming individuals’ understanding of entrepreneurship as manifested in the graduates’ occupational choices, asking: Does gender balance in entrepreneurship education influence start-up behaviour after graduation? Based on gender mainstreaming, this study builds on the assumption that gender balance influences classroom and student PurposeThis study aims to examine the role of gender balance in forming individuals’ understanding of entrepreneurship as manifested in the graduates’ occupational choices, asking: Does gender balance in entrepreneurship education influence start-up behaviour after graduation?

This study investigates how the volume and flow of passengers affect dwell times, usingdata from commuter trains in Stockholm. We show that dwell times often take longer thanscheduled and that most station stops involve rather limited numbers of passengers.Improving the performance at these stops with small volumes can thus have a sizeableimpact on the overall on-time performance.

Research performance studies based on citation data have become of interest both nationally and on the university-level as the focus on quality control has increased also in the higher education sector. Large journal-based indexes, such as Web of Science and recently Scopus, have most frequently been used for the task. These have shown to have limited coverage, especially for areas in the humaniti
Background: Anterior resection has the benefit of enabling bowel continuity, but suffer from a common complication in anastomotic leakage.There is a paucity in previous research of long-term implications of anastomotic leakage after anterior resection.Aims: To gain general knowledge of the morbidity related to anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer, specific aims were:I.To
Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high. There is a clear pattern across the literature that the delays typically occur at stations and are recovered on line sections. Previous work has shown that one explanation for this is that trains interact at stations. When trains have different speeds or stopping patterns, overtakes are Reducing train delays important in many countries, even in those like Japan, where punctuality is already high.

Industrial processes currently account for a signifcant share (25–35 %) of the world’s total energy demand and related emissions. During recent years, the amount of low-carbon electricity from renewable energy sources (such as wind and solar) has increased continuously. Tere is therefore an increasing interestin electrifcation of industrial processes in order to achieve long-term decarbonisation g
During the last couple of decades, we have witnessed a proliferation of the project as an organizational solution in sectors as diverse as IT, housing, social services, education and culture. Despite a growing interest in the phenomenon, we know surprisingly little of how processes of public sector projectification unfold in practice, especially at local government level. This article uses an inst
This paper was set out to examine how discrimination lower incentives to attain human capital throughout different societal sectors and, thus, how human capital barriers affect economic growth. We aim to derive a generalized theoretical framework that is applicable to any group facing discrimination. Our secondary purpose is to apply the generalized theoretical framework to women and men in Sweden
This study aims to research the motives for and value creation from M&A transactions in the Swedish Real Estate Market. All transactions in the period 2017-2021 were analyzed in detail. Interviews were conducted with companies that participated in these transactions, the purpose of these interviews were getting official motives and value creating factors from M&A transactions. Finally, 17
Every third child in Germany has a migration background, which makes social negotiations on the participation of migrants and their descendants in this diverse society increasingly relevant. Therefore, the study examines how Migrant Organisations (MOs) and Post-Migrant Organisations (PMO) engage in contentious politics in the context of this increasing plurality. To do that, the already establishe
