Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Swedish adolescents’ mental well-being
Generally, there are multiple pathways through which COVID-19 pandemic affects the well-being of adolescents. Therefore, there may be a need for psychoeducation and/or counseling on different coping strategies during infectious pandemics with a high risk of mortality to enhance mental well-being
Prerequisites for self-care actions in individuals with restless legs syndrome-A deductive qualitative analysis based on the COM-B model
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) affects 3% of the world's population, causing tingling sensations primarily in the legs. Incorporating self-care activities could improve the management of RLS symptoms, yet knowledge about effective self-care actions is limited. This study employs the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation-Behaviour (COM-B) model to explore self-care behaviours in individuals with RLS, as research in this area is sparse. Qualitative…
Negotiating meritocracy and gender equality across organisational spaces
In this article, we study how meritocratic systems and gender equality concerns are negotiated across different organisational spaces in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Based on a case study of the organising of a tenure track system in a Swedish university, we suggest that the intersection of meritocratic processes and gender equality work can be analysed as a set of negotiated orders in these spaces. This fragmentation may imply problems …
To be or not to be a technical university
Classifications of higher education institutions into categories that are more or less clearly differentiated through prestige and status are legion in the world of higher education. The notion of parallel categories with comparable statuses, such as those of different types of universities, is however much less well understood. This paper investigates how universities navigate between such alternative categories. We examine boundary work and ins…
Sleep problems during Covid-19 pandemic and its’ association to psychological distress

Validating Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) in a Bangladeshi Population
The COVID-19 outbreak is associated with sleep problems and mental health issues among individuals. Therefore, there is a need to assess sleep efficiency during this tough period. Unfortunately, the commonly used instrument on insomnia severity-the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)-has never been translated and validated among Bangladeshis. Additionally, the ISI has never been validated during a major protracted disaster (such as the COVID-19 outbrea…
Academics’ Societal Engagement in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Investigating mediated effects of fear of Covid-19 and Covid-19 misunderstanding in the association between problematic social media use, psychological distress, and insomnia
INTRODUCTION: Due to the serious situation of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide, many countries have implemented policies to minimize the spread of COVID-19 infection. However, some of these policies prevent people from physical contact. Consequently, many individuals may rely on social media to obtain information concerning COVID-19. Unfortunately, social media use (especially problematic social media use) may give rise to …

Nanoparticle Exposure and Workplace Measurements During Processes Related to 3D Printing of a Metal Object
Metal 3D printing has many potential uses within prototyping and manufacturing. Selective laser melting (SLM) is a process that uses metal powders in the micrometer range as printing material. The particle release from the entire SLM printing process is not well-studied. While the 3D printing itself often occurs in a sealed chamber, activities related to the process can potentially release harmful metal particles to the indoor working environment…
Associations Between Fear of Covid-19, Mental Health, and Preventive Behaviours Across Pregnant Women and Husbands
The present cross-sectional study examined the actor-partner interdependence effect of fear of COVID-19 among Iranian pregnant women and their husbands and its association with their mental health and preventive behaviours during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. A total of 290 pregnant women and their husbands ( N = 580) were randomly selected from a list of pregnant women in the Iranian Integrated Health System and were invited t…
Global drivers of cryptocurrency infrastructure adoption
A vast digital ecosystem of entrepreneurship and exchange has sprung up with Bitcoin's digital infrastructure at its core. We explore the worldwide spread of infrastructure necessary to maintain and grow Bitcoin as a system (Bitcoin nodes) and infrastructure enabling the use of bitcoins for everyday economic transactions (Bitcoin merchants). Specifically, we investigate the role of legal, criminal, financial, and social determinants of the adopti…

Academic Entrepreneurship
Is the Bayh-Dole intellectual property regime associated with more and better academic entrepreneurship than the Professor's Privilege regime? The authors examine data on US PhDs in the natural sciences, engineering, and medical fields who became entrepreneurs in 1993-2006 and compare this to similar data from Sweden. They find that, in both countries, those with an academic background have lower rates of entry into entrepreneurship than do those…
Traffic risk work with sleepy patients
In this article, we aim to contribute to the emerging field of risk-work studies by examining the relationship between risk rationality and risk practices in nurses’ conversations with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea patients about traffic risks. Legislation in Sweden towards traffic risk involves clinicians making risk assessment of patients prone to falling asleep while driving. In contrast to an overall care rationale, this means that the health of t…
Smartphone Application-Based Addiction Among Iranian Adolescents
Psychometric validation of the Persian Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale using classic test theory and Rasch models
Background and aims The Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), a six-item self-report scale that is a brief and effective psychometric instrument for assessing at-risk social media addiction on the Internet. However, its psychometric properties in Persian have never been examined and no studies have applied Rasch analysis for the psychometric testing. This study aimed to verify the construct validity of the Persian BSMAS using confirmatory …
Engaging Experts
This article analyzes the conditions for mobilizing the science base for development of public policy. It does so by focusing upon the science-policy interface, specifically the processes of direct interaction between scientists and scientifically trained experts, on the one hand, and agents of policymaking organizations, on the other. The article defines two dimensions - cognitive distance and expert autonomy - which are argued to influence know…
Academic engagement and commercialisation
A considerable body of work highlights the relevance of collaborative research, contract research, consulting and informal relationships for university–industry knowledge transfer. We present a systematic review of research on academic scientists’ involvement in these activities to which we refer as ‘academic engagement’. Apart from extracting findings that are generalisable across studies, we ask how academic engagement differs from commercialis…
The Triple Helix
Attractors of Entrepreneurial Activity
Baltzopoulos A. and Broström A. Attractors of entrepreneurial activity: universities, regions and alumni entrepreneurs, Regional Studies. This paper investigates how universities may affect regional entrepreneurship through the localization decisions of entrepreneurial alumni. Empirically, a comprehensive, individual-level data set from Sweden for the period 2003–2005 is employed. The results suggest that even when controlling for their spatial h…
The Rights of Labor
Participation and the Mandator Role
The rights of labor
Should workers own the capital their own labour produces? If they should, what kinds of justifications are there not only philosophically and ethically, but in the legal tradition as well? The authors draw on the fields of jurisprudence, political science, and economic and social history to explain the rise of principles of ownership rights. 'This is a concise, intelligent survey study of labor rights that belongs in the library of everyone with …
