Income inequality in an industrial city during the great levelling: micro level evidence from malmö, 1900–1950

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper contributes to the debate on historical income inequality, and especially on the decrease in inequality found in industrialised countries during the first half of the twentieth century. We use new archival individual – and household-level data for taxpayers in Sweden’s third- largest city, Malmö, from 1900 to 1950. Previous research has established that Sweden had a distinctive downturn in income inequality during the first half of the twentieth century, and explanations have not the least focused on capital incomes and taxes. With our original data we shed light on what happened to working- class and middle-class incomes, and show the importance of job upgrading of the working-class, the decline of domestic service and women’s enhanced position on the labour market, and declining market incomes for top income earners in changing Malmö’s income distribution. We compare pre-tax and post-tax distributions, and the distribution on the individual level and the household level. With the new micro data, a richer account of income growth and income distribution in twentieth century Sweden is provided.

The Problem with Problems: Reframing and Cognitive Bias in Healthcare Innovation
- 2019

Ingår i: The Design Journal. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1460-6925 .- 1756-3062. ; 22:Issue sup1: Running with Scissors: 13th International Conference of the European Academy of Design, Dundee, 10-12th April, 2019, edited by Louise Valentine and Leon Cruickshank, s. 553-574

- Design Thinking (DT), well-branded in the world of innovation, is typically defined as a methodology for problem-solving stemming from the way designers think and do. However, from a cognitive science or social psychology perspective, DT can be viewed as a process for overcoming cognitive bias in decision-making (Liedtka 2015). The purpose of this study is to better understand how cognitive biases influence the way decision-makers frame problems and the impact of DT methods to reframe the problem. Specifically, this relationship was investigated through a comparative analysis of nine healthcare innovation projects and two in-depth case studies. Thus, asking (1) is the problem really what people think it is, and if not, why? and (2) which methods are most useful in exposing misunderstandings and reframing the problem? The cognitive difference between the original and the reframed problem is further propositioned; resulting in the theoretical concepts of reframing distance and reframing space.

Remission rate of transcranial magnetic stimulation compared with electroconvulsive therapy : a case-control study
- 2019

Ingår i: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0803-9488 .- 1502-4725. ; 72:7, s. 471-476

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- PURPOSE: To compare the rate of remission, rate of response, change in depressive symptoms, and adverse effects between repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective case-control study, 35 patients treated for depression with rTMS (left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, 90% observed motor threshold, 10 Hz, 2000 pulses/session, 15 sessions) at Örebro University Hospital, Sweden (cases), were compared with a matched group of 35 patients treated for depression with ECT (controls). Data on controls were obtained from the Swedish National Quality Register for ECT (Q-ECT). Severity of depression was evaluated using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression rating scale (MADRS).RESULTS: Remission rate was 26% for cases and 43% for controls (p = .3). Response rate was 40% for cases and 51% for controls (p = .63). The median decrease in MADRS was 11 (IQR 3-19) vs. 17 (IQR 6-27; p = .10) for rTMS and ECT, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference in any measure of treatment effect between rTMS and ECT. More than half of the patients of the rTMS group experienced scalp discomfort and 11% of the ECT group had memory disturbances.CONCLUSIONS: All measures of therapeutic efficacy were numerically inferior in the rTMS group compared to the ECT group. The differences were not statistically significant, probably because the sample size was small. More studies are required to find the optimal place for rTMS within the Swedish health care system. Such studies could be facilitated by inclusion of rTMS in the Q-ECT.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Design Thinking (DT), a term that has become well-branded in the world of innovation, is typically defined broadly as a methodology for problem-solving stemming from the way designers think and do. However, from cognitive science or social psychology perspective, DT can be more specifically viewed as a process for overcoming cognitive bias in thinking and decision-making (Liedtka 2014). The purpose of this study is to better understand how cognitive bias influences the way in which decision-makers frame their problems and the impact of DT methods to substantially reframe the problem leading to better innovative solutions. Specifically, the relationship between cognitive bias and reframing was investigated through a comparative, cross-sectional analysis of nine healthcare innovation projects in the Västra Götaland Region of Sweden and two in-depth case studies. Thus, we ask in this paper, (1) is the problem really what people think it is, and if not, why? and (2) which methods are most useful in exposing misunderstandings and reframing the problem? The cognitive difference between the original framing and the reframed problem is further analyzed and interpreted, resulting in a new theoretical concept of reframing distance and reframing space.

Three myths about old age before modernity – and why historians should care
-
Ingår i: History of the Family. - 1873-5398. ; , s. 1-23
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite the increasing challenges twenty-first-century societies face in accommodating older adults, many misconceptions about old age before modernity continue to exist. These are rarely expressed in ‘formal theory’ produced by academics, but rather persist in ‘lay theory’ which is anchored in collective memory and popular culture. Such taken-for-granted beliefs are nevertheless influential, first because they determine which questions academics do and do not ask about old age in history, and second because they present society with a grand narrative about ageing in the past, present, and future. We provide researchers with a research agenda. We do so by identifying three myths about old age: 1) people usually lived short lives and continued in their line of work until they dropped dead without having ‘retired’ from work; 2) men and women who did grow old simply moved in with their next of kin; 3) pensions played no role during old age. We debunk these based on a case study of the Nordic Countries before c. 1850 and hope to encourage research into myths about old age before modernity in other European regions.
