- This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that a vision can make explicit values and priorities in an organization. It elaborates on the use of strategic cost management and how it can be used, not solely but in connection with other more qualitative data. The book discusses performance management. It elaborates on challenges related to the implementation of information and communications technology (ICT) solutions. The book argues that uncritically introducing branding concepts from the private sector into public services. It focuses on Lean Management questions whether a tool devised by and for a major vehicle manufacturer is also applicable to public services. The book also focuses on resilience explains how resilient management may be constituted and understood by discussing resilience and sensemaking. It describes the risks of risk management.

- In this chapter management of public services is introduced as a topic. The tasks and general challenges for management are described. Also, the specific setting for public services is elaborated on and discussed. In this uncertain environment management needs to be flexible and responsive to new ideas and practices to fulfil its purpose. The ability to adapt quickly to unpredictable changes in circumstances is crucial. This is not a simple question of selecting the appropriate means to achieve a given end. We argue that this mission requires steering away from recipe management and instead emphasizing and encouraging reflective managers with a critical mindset. The chapter ends with a plan for the rest of the book.

Neutron tagging following atmospheric neutrino events in a water Cherenkov detector
- 2022

Ingår i: Journal of Instrumentation. - : Institute of Physics (IOP). - 1748-0221 .- 1748-0221. ; 17:10

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the development of neutron-tagging techniques in Super-Kamiokande IV using a neural network analysis. The detection efficiency of neutron capture on hydrogen is estimated to be 26%, with a mis-tag rate of 0.016 per neutrino event. The uncertainty of the tagging efficiency is estimated to be 9.0%. Measurement of the tagging efficiency with data from an Americium-Beryllium calibration agrees with this value within 10%. The tagging procedure was performed on 3,244.4 days of SK-IV atmospheric neutrino data, identifying 18,091 neutrons in 26,473 neutrino events. The fitted neutron capture lifetime was measured as 218 +/- 9 mu s.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Delivering a revolution in evidence use requires a cultural change across society. For a wide range of groups (practitioners, knowledge brokers, organisations, organisational leaders, policy makers, funders, researchers, journal publishers, the wider conservation community, educators, writers, and journalists), options are described to facilitate a change in practice, and a series of downloadable checklists is provided.

Brand orientation : Tensions and conflicts in public management

- Public institutions such as cities, the police or schools are increasingly adopting a brand orientation, understood as an approach to organization aiming to create coherence around image and identity, such that consistent, precise and coherent messages can be presented about the organization to internal and external stakeholders. This may be seen as an expression of what is sometimes called “brand society,” meaning that branding affects ever more aspects of human life, including public sector organizations (Kornberger, 2010). Similar to other management techniques – like Lean Management or TQM – branding has its roots in private organizations. Although private and public organizations may gain from exchanging management practices, it also creates tensions between corporate and civic rationales and practices. For instance, whereas the corporate branding ideal is to seek to reduce complexity via a coherent or unified identity and presentation to customers, public organizations are complex and must communicate with and serve a diverse public (Wæraas, 2008). In the wake of this development toward brand orientation, it is important to understand intended and unintended consequences for organizations, public employees, citizens and other stakeholders.
