- Background: The use of analgesic antipyretics (ANAP) in children have long been a matter of controversy. Data on their practical use on an individual level has, however, been scarce. There are indications of possible effects on glucose homeostasis and immune function related to the use of ANAP. The aim of this study was to analyze patterns of analgesic antipyretic use across the clinical centers of The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) prospective cohort study and test if ANAP use was a risk factor for islet autoimmunity. Methods: Data were collected for 8542 children in the first 2.5 years of life. Incidence was analyzed using logistic regression with country and first child status as independent variables. Holm's procedure was used to adjust for multiplicity of intercountry comparisons. Time to autoantibody seroconversion was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model with cumulative analgesic use as primary time dependent covariate of interest. For each categorization, a generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach was used. Results: Higher prevalence of ANAP use was found in the U.S. (95.7%) and Sweden (94.8%) compared to Finland (78.1%) and Germany (80.2%). First-born children were more commonly given acetaminophen (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.07, 1.49; p = 0.007) but less commonly Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.78, 0.95; p = 0.002). Acetaminophen and NSAID use in the absence of fever and infection was more prevalent in the U.S. (40.4%; 26.3% of doses) compared to Sweden, Finland and Germany (p < 0.001). Acetaminophen or NSAID use before age 2.5 years did not predict development of islet autoimmunity by age 6 years (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.99-1.09; p = 0.27). In a sub-analysis, acetaminophen use in children with fever weakly predicted development of islet autoimmunity by age 3 years (HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.01-1.09; p = 0.024). Conclusions: ANAP use in young children is not a risk factor for seroconversion by age 6 years. Use of ANAP is widespread in young children, and significantly higher in the U.S. compared to other study sites, where use is common also in absence of fever and infection.

The importance of the political process on corporate tax policy

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Few would argue that the difficulty in making legislative changes influences policy decisions and often results in less timely and responsive legislation. Despite this, economic research on corporate tax policy often excludes consideration of the political process. This study examines the impact of the political and economic factors on several measures of corporate tax rates and tax incentives offered across 19 developed countries. Our results indicate that while economic conditions influence the rate of tax set by governments, the political process of the federal government also has a significant impact on the economic stimulus given. The impact of the political process on the ability to enact legislation is significant after controlling for economic factors indicating that in a global economy, it will become increasingly important for governments to find opportunities to work within their systems to enact legislation that attracts foreign direct investment and increases domestic growth.

What determines tax incentives and how effective are they?

- This paper considers factors determining tax incentives and examines how effective they are using data from OCED and EU countries. It is well known that countries compete when it comes to setting the statutory corporate tax rate but do they also compete when it comes to providing tax incentives on the tax base side? The paper starts out by analyzing factors affecting different tax incentive measures and then moves on to analyze how effective different incentives are in attracting investments. We study several different tax incentives and find them to be ineffective in generating investments and, that, reductions of statutory corporate tax rates are a more efficient way to generate investments.

Transformationer : 1800-talets svenska translitteratur genom Lasse-Maja, C.J.L. Almqvist och Aurora Ljungstedt
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Literary descriptions of shifting from and transgressing assigned sex were common in 19th Century Sweden. This thesis forms a contribution to the larger project of writing a history of Swedish trans literature, and develops new interpretations of certain works of fiction by applying a transgender studies perspective. Through trans readings the thesis also examines what potential and possible implications literature might have for trans people beyond the literary realm. Trans readings are able to supplement earlier research by providing a nuanced understanding of the production of trans- and cisgenders. The theoretical perspectives used in the thesis are drawn for the most part from queer and transgender studies. The thesis adopts a conceptual understanding of trans as a movement, and aims to widen the scope of what may be considered relevant to a history of trans literature.The primary objects of analysis are the 1833 autobiography of widely known thief and cross-dresser Lasse-Maja (Lars Molin), C.J.L. Almqvist’s Drottningens juvelsmycke (1834), and Aurora Ljungstedt’s Moderna typer (1874). In closing, two texts from the fin-de-siècle are also closely read; Amanda Kerfstedt’s Reflexer (1901) and Frida Stéenhoff’s “Ett sällsamt öde” (1911). A wide range of other fiction is additionally studied in order to establish a contextual pattern of trans literary traditions.The thesis demonstrates that trans permeates all kinds of fiction, and that the characters analysed construct both trans and cis gender categories. It concludes that trans is done in a variety of ways, and with a variety of meanings in 19th and early 20th century literature. Trans is often depicted as a positive, fruitful and desirable act, through trans characters who are both themselves subjects of erotic desire and who become symbols of liberty and emancipation. Other trans figures however are often counter images of what are considered to be correct sexes, and are depicted as threatening and/or ridiculous. Both these negative and positive representations of trans affirm the gender binary. At the same time, they also break and destabilize that same binary, and the trans characters in the study both can and cannot be interpreted as transgressing cis- and heteronormativity respectively.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Litteraturens historia i Sverige ges numera ut av Studentlitteratur AB. Denna sjätte upplaga innehåller dock inga förändringar av innehållet jämfört med den femte upplagan. Litteraturens historia i Sverige är en välskriven och inspirerande handbok med skönlitteraturen i centrum. Inom dess pärmar ryms grundläggande fakta och övergripande perspektiv om texter och författare, från Rökstenen och fram till våra dagar. Den femte reviderade upplagan tar litteraturen in i 2000-talet, och läsaren möter bland mycket annat den nya arbetarlitteraturen, chick lit och den svenska deckarboomen. Litterära ikoner som Heliga Birgitta, Selma Lagerlöf och August Strindberg har fått sällskap av samtida författare som Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Henning Mankell och Sara Stridsberg.De tidigare upplagorna av Litteraturens historia i Sverige och Litteraturens historia i världen mottogs med uppskattande recensioner, och båda böckerna används i undervisningen vid universitet och högskolor. Ny layout och nytt bildmaterial i fyrfärg gör denna upplaga än mer tilltalande och läsarvänlig. Litteraturens historia i Sverige är kort sagt en bok för alla som vill orientera sig i nära tusen år av svensk litteraturhistoria. I denna upplaga har Bernt Olssons och Ingemar Algulins texter kompletterats med nyskrivna texter av Anna Williams, Åsa Arping, Annika Olsson, Boel Westin och Annelie Bränström Öhman, litteraturvetare verksamma vid olika universitet i landet.
