- ObjectivesClinical outcomes in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease depend on the patients’ adherence to prescribed medicines. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered approach used to change different health behaviors. The objective of this pilot study was to explore the impact of a clinical pharmacist’s consultation on beliefs about medicines and self-reported medication adherence among patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). MethodsCHD-patients participating in a prevention program at the Kalmar County Hospital were randomized to control or intervention. The intervention consisted of a medication review focused on cardiovascular drugs, and a semi-structured interview based on MI-approach, with a follow-up phone call two weeks later. The intervention was conducted by a clinical pharmacist at the cardiology unit three months post-discharge.Primary outcome measures were the results from the Beliefs about medicines-Specific (BMQ-S) and the 8-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-8) two weeks after intervention.Results21 enrolled patients (11 intervention) all completed to follow-up. MMAS-8 was very similar in the intervention and control groups. In BMQ-S the intervention group had a mean (SD) necessity score of 21 (4) and a concern score of 12 (6), corresponding results in the control group were 21 (3) and 10 (5). However, since there was a difference in BMQ-S at baseline, seven intervention patients shifted towards more positive beliefs compared to two control patients. ConclusionNo difference was found in adherence and beliefs at follow-up. However, after consultation a larger proportion of patients changed towards more positive beliefs compared to control.

Googling for opposites: a web-based study of antonym canonicity
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Corpora. - 1755-1676. ; 2:2, s. 129-154

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper seeks to explain why some semantically-opposed word pairs are more likely to be seen as canonical antonyms (for example, cold/hot) than others (icy/scorching, cold/fiery, freezing/hot, etc.). Specifically, it builds on research which has demonstrated that, in discourse, antonyms are inclined to favour certain frames, such as ‘X and Y alike’, ‘from X to Y’ and ‘either X or Y’ (Justeson and Katz, 1991; etc.), and to serve a limited range of discourse functions (Jones, 2002). Our premise is that the more canonical an antonym pair is, the greater the fidelity with which it will occupy such frames. Since an extremely large corpus is needed to identify meaningful patterns of co-occurrence, we turn to Internet data for this research. As well as enabling the notion of antonym canonicity to be revisited from a more empirical perspective, this approach also allows us to evaluate the appropriateness (and assess the risks) of using the World Wide Web as a corpus for studies into certain types of low-frequency textual phenomena.

- The introduction of a new corporate governance code in Sweden, modeled after prevailing Anglo-Saxon norms of corporate governance, offers the opportunity to investigate global regulatory convergence. Using the metaphor of regulatory space, this article analyzes the positions of the parties who submitted formal responses to the introduction of "The Swedish Code of Corporate Governance-A Proposal from the Code Group." While the globalization of financial markets might forecast unconditional acceptance of the proposed code by business and financial interests, the analysis of who made comments, and what was said, reveals three categorically distinct groups: Swedish business "insiders" connected to the existing institutional framework who opposed changes that would erode traditional division of functions, including collective responsibility for the actions of company boards; "outsiders" (i.e., foreign investors and more marginal Swedish investors) aligned with Anglo-Saxon internationalization of the markets who would change the system of corporate accountability; and the professions (i.e., auditors), who advocated for their professional interests. Of the three groups, Swedish business insiders were most successful in gaining support for their positions. Although international financial and political interests were key to the introduction of the Code in the first place, the article demonstrates how the dynamics of national (local) culture and power structures influence the transfer of regulatory law across jurisdictions.

Doxa of shareholders and owners : on the threshold of financialization

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Following financialization, there has emerged an understanding of what it implies to be a shareholder based on the shareholder value perception. However, as this shareholder value perception spreads internationally, it clashes with traditional perceptions. In this paper, we apply the language developed by Bourdieu to a Swedish public debate on equal treatment of shareholders in connection with the reform of the Swedish market for corporate control. Using Bourdieu’s conceptual framework, we describe how a global development interacts with the persistence of national practices. We conclude that in Sweden, local institutional investors have allied themselves with international institutional investors to enhance their positions in the restricted field of Swedish corporate control. Shareholder value is then used by these local actors as an argument to strengthen their position. At the same time, some of the controlling shareholders depart from their traditional position as industrial entrepreneurs and embrace a more financial approach to ownership, thereby altering both the power constellations and the capital, in Bourdieu’s sense, of the field.

- A number of measures have been taken by the society to ensure gender equality inhigher education. Nevertheless, women still face great difficulties when pursuingan academic career. Our aim is to increase the understanding of how the society,conceptualised as the organisational field, interacts with organisational factors andpersonal actions as women try to establish themselves within academia. Wefollowed a group of female PhD students and their struggle to graduate at aSwedish, traditionally male-dominated, university department. The paper analyseshow actors and regulations in the society interact with the department’s genderedstructures and practices. Three processes that influenced the women’s careeropportunities have been identified – a process of integration, liberation andlegitimatisation. We also show that women can get accepted and realise theirshort-term objective, based on support from the society, while not necessarilybeing included by the department in a longer-term perspective.

Information environment : an exploration and clarification of the concept based on prior literature
- 2020

Ingår i: Advances in Accounting. - : Elsevier. - 0882-6110. ; 50, s. 1-11

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the accounting and finance literature, the concept of the information environment (IE) is widely used, but its meaning varies across different articles. Given the considerable presence of the IE concept, it seems relevant to clarify the concept and allow a clearer path forward for future research. With this ambition, this paper reviews articles that apply the concept of IE. Our sample consists of 248 articles published within the accounting and finance field between 2000 and 2017. We confirm an increasing trend in the use of the concept over time and discuss the lack of distinctness in the concept's general meaning. Several definitions of IE appear parallel to one another in the literature; in many cases, these definitions are also inconsistent. To analyze the concept, we use a two-step approach with the following subordinated aims: 1) to identify and clarify different types of IE, and 2) to identify and clarify the components that constitute the firm's IE. We find that the description preceding the term IE signals a border between different types of information or between different societal levels of IE. Also, the concept appears as a “system concept,” and its inclusion of different actors, the relations among these actors, and the effect of these relations on information asymmetry are core aspects that need to be described in future research.

- Gendering processes often take the form of organizational subtexts, that is, seemingly gender-neutral practices that have gender implications. The purpose of this article is to study performance evaluations, which, based on management by objectives systems, may appear neutral, but tend to be based on male norms of what is regarded as good performance. We analysed the careers and performance evaluations of 391 newly licenced Swedish auditors, using an open-ended question survey. In this industry 50 per cent of new employees and 92 per cent of partners are men. Even in the early stages of their careers, there are notable differences between women and men. The women achieved less and show lower career ambitions and expectations as well as greater intentions to leave the auditing industry. Performance evaluations are also perceived differently, men focusing on what is evaluated (reflecting the perceptions of those at higher hierarchical levels) and women focusing on who does the evaluating and how.

Stubborn Swedes : the Persistence of the Swedish Corporate Governance System under International Reform

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite a number of corporate governance reforms introduced following an Anglo-American blueprint, the Swedish corporate governance system still contains several country-specific traits. In this article, we try to understand this continuity of the national corporate governance system. We do this by outlining a model for describing the processes of change built on Mary Douglas’ (1986) theory of ‘institutional thinking’ and applying this model to a case of the implementation of regulation on independent directors in Sweden. The results highlight (i) that continuity is ensured through the use of ‘sacred objects’ and (ii) that compromises between the old and the new is made possible by the uses of concepts with ‘positive connotations’. Hereby a form of assimilation to the international blueprint occurs which may – or may not – lead to convergence in the long run.
