BACKGROUND: Home health care is an important part of primary health care. How delivery of home health care is organised is probably important for sustainability of the healthcare system as a whole. More than 50 % of individuals over 65 years old have multimorbidity, which increases with higher age, also influencing the needs of home health care. Our aim was to study the proportion of the populatio
Unlike what is usually taken for granted in semiotics, communication, in the sense of semiosis, does not essentially depend on transport and/or recoding. Instead, it consists in the creation of an artefact, with the additional setting of a task of interpretation. This task may be set by the addressee, just as likely as by the addresser. In making this suggestion, we are inspired by Husserlean phen
Företag som ser sig om efter åtgärder för att minska sin klimatpåverkan och samtidigt stärka sitt varumärke bör undvika klimatkompensation i svenska skogar. Det skriver sex forskare.
The research presented here explores the nuances of data collection and sharing via digital platforms in everyday CrossFit coaching practice. There is a growing body of work on data and digital platforms in CrossFit, though currently there is a lack of research on the role of coaches in these processes. Empirically grounding the digital fitness practices of CrossFit coaching is essential for our u
Why should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity? Debates on whether artificial intelligence (AI) can or should be used to solve problems in ethical domains have mainly been driven by what AI can or cannot do in terms of human capacities. In this paper, we tackle the problem from the other end by exploring what kind of moral machines areWhy should moral philosophers, moral psychologists, and machine ethicists care about computational complexity?

Somali post-conflict development faces many challenges that affect the sustainability of the water sector. This paper reviews and analyses the post-conflict development activities in the water sector through local communications and reviewing published materials and databases from international players in Somalia, funding agencies and financial tracking service. The paper has shown that there has
We propose a new account of collective moral obligation. We argue that several agents have a moral obligation together only if they each have (i) a context-specific capacity to view their situation from the group’s perspective, and (ii) at least a general capacity to deliberate about what they ought to do together. Such an obligation is irreducibly collective, in that it doesn’t imply that the ind
Extending the lifetime of products enables material resource savings and provides an effective resource efficiency strategy within a circular economy paradigm. Although consumer demand for longer lasting products that can be easily repaired has been on the rise, it is not certain that consumers are fully able to identify such products and willing to pay a premium for them. France introduced a mand
Dense urban morphologies further amplify extreme climate events due to the urban heat island phenomenon, rendering cities more vulnerable to extreme climate events. Here we develop a modelling framework using multi-scale climate and energy system models to assess the compound impact of future climate variations and urban densification on renewable energy integration for 18 European cities. We obse
As an attitude characterized by frustration, hopelessness, betrayal and disillusionment (Andersson, 1996; Wanous et al. 1994) employee cynicism or organizational cynicism could be considered a specific attitude of interest to the research of information system (IS) implementations. Today a broad literature body has emerged within the IS research community investigating the organizational consequen
The ForMAX beamline at the MAX IV Laboratory provides multiscale and multimodal structural characterization of hierarchical materials in the nanometre to millimetre range by combining small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering with full-field microtomography. The modular design of the beamline is optimized for easy switching between different experimental modalities. The beamline has a special focus o
The construction industry accounts for a large proportion of the world’s total anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases, CO2 among others. As a part of the effort to combat this are environmental certifications which have become increasingly more numerous and more frequent in use. This is partly because consumers have become more environmentally aware and motivated to pay more for products and
The transition to a resource efficient economy that makes effective use of raw materials and energy is a multi-level dynamic process requiring a wide systems perspective. To operationalize this transition in a holistic manner, the concept of Circular Economy (CE) has been championed by major economies around the world. The idea with CE is to strive towards maximizing the utilization of products, c
As treatment evolves and the population who survive childhood cancer ages and increases in number, researchers must use novel approaches to prevent, identify and mitigate adverse effects of treatment. Future priorities include collaborative efforts to pool large cohort data to improve detection of late effects, identify late effects of novel therapies, and determine the contribution of genetic fac
The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe the workingconditions for staff personel, mainly from an educational and knowledgebased point of view, at three youthcareinstitutions in southern Sweden. Social service interventions for children and young people are guided by the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU). The study was based on
There is an interest among users for customization of mobile phones, as is indicated by several companies and websites which offer themes, ringtones, backgrounds and games. However, unless the users possess programming experience, this customization rarely goes beyond simple look-and-feel and into the actual functionality. In the other end of this spectrum, lies End User Development (EUD), where e
ERP-systems have become a vital part in the modern economy. However, to achieve a high level of information integration between business units, ERP-systems have sacrificed flexibility. As organizations are constantly changing it may be questioned whether the ERP-systems are supporting or restricting the organizations during their change process. In this study we have aimed to clarify the relations
It is well known that Lithium-ion batteries in thermal runaway can emit gases with high hydrogen concentrations which, in case of delayed ignition, can cause a gas explosion. Aerosol suppression agents are sometimes used to suppress fires and/or prevent ignition of released gases in such situations. The agent has been studied for suppression of fires (diffusion flames), but less is known about the
