Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Public organizations In the 21stcentury, are increasingly complex in terms of multiple institutional rules, norms, and practices. This complexity constitutes a difficult challenge for civil servants to find and determine appropriate identities, roles and relationships in their everyday work. For this special issue we made a call for scholars to contribute new addressing the roles of civil servants within increasingly complex public sector organizations, focusing on a couple of interrelated research questions: What is the nature of public administration taking into consideration increasing institutional complexity in terms of persistent bureaucratic traditions, new public management solutions, participatory ideals, activist sentiments among officials and so forth? What are the consequences of this institutional complexity for the possibility of preserving a coherent, rule-governed public administration and what does public mean today in public administration? What types of roles are civil servants playing in relation to different institutional rules and norms and various categories of actor (politicians, citizens, organizations) and how do they handle frictions and conflicts? What type of conceptions of civil servants’ roles are developing, including public service ethics? What alternative and contesting role-conceptions and ethics are prevalent and supported? This introduction should be understood as being both a summary of the current state of research in relation to civil service – its predicaments and challenges – as well as being a suggestion for future attention among scholars and practitioners. We have thus written this introduction not only with the purpose of summarizing the main components inherent in the six articles that are included in this special issue but with the hope of also spurring discussions concerning what civil service has been, currently seems to be and might become in the future.

25 years of studying New Public Management: Accomplishments and limitations
- 2018

Ingår i: The 22nd Annual International Research Society for Public Management (IRSPM) Conference. Edinburgh, Scotland: 11-13 April.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- 25 years ago, Christopher Hood made a substantial contribution to public administration research in his formulation of the concept New Public Management (NPM). In many ways, his article can be understood as an enabler of research focusing on public sector reforms. To this day, numerous articles and books have been published, discussing the concept itself and the empirical phenomenon. In celebration of this anniversary, this article revisits the current knowledge through a systematic literature review of 299 articles published between 1991 and 2016. This approach enables a meta-analysis of research published in five top-ranked international public administration journals. We identify four important themes as emerging from our review; (i) a reform with a vague intention, (ii) the limping concept, (iii) the one- sided perspective and (iv) NPM as the new norm. An important effect of this is that Hoods framework may have been curtailed, leading to a distorted knowledge-base when it comes to future studies.

Post-NPM, vad är det? : Trender och empiriska iakttagelser kring alternativa idéer för den offentliga sektorn
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I den här texten diskuterar vi det begrepp som kommit att dyka upp mer och mer i såväl litteratur som i debatt: post-NPM. Vi vet av litteraturen att det handlar om något distinkt annorlunda från NPM, men det är ofta mer otydligt vad detta ’annorlunda’ egentligen är. Vi genomför en litteraturöversikt där vi beskriver fyra starka trender inom ramen för post-NPM: (1) New Public Governance, (2) Public Service Logic, (3) Public Value Management och (4) Digital-Era Governance. Syftet är att beskriva och analysera vad post-NPM är för något, hur det är annorlunda från NPM samt hur (eller om) det kommit att ta sig empiriskt uttryck i en svensk kontext.Med förankring i såväl internationell litteratur som svensk empirisk kontext, drar vi slutsatserna att post-NPM erbjuder nya sätt att se på och förstå hur den offentliga välfärdsproduktionen ska erbjudas, vad som ska erbjudas och varför välfärdsproduktionen ska erbjudas på detta sätt. Även om post-NPM erbjuder många nya perspektiv, visar vi i den här texten på hur dessa kommit att vara starkt färgade av de dominerande NPM-uttrycken. Vi menar att där post-NPM kommit att erbjuda sådana nya perspektiv så har de i första hand handlat om en samhällsövergripande nivå, där diskussionen kommit att handla om organisering i första hand. När det istället handlar om styrning av verksamheter återfinner vi idéer som är tydligt sprungna ur NPM-reformer.En slutsats kring detta är att är att NPM och post-NPM fokuserar på delvis olika nivåer och därför med fördel kan förstås som kompletterande snarare än konkurrerande begrepp. I likhet med annan litteratur på området, menar vi att NPM och post-NPM skulle kunna kombineras för att skapa en tydligare struktur för organisering av välfärdstjänster, samtidigt som vi vidmakthåller behovet och förmågan till styrning och ansvarsutkrävande. En sådan kombination skulle kunna medföra en mer inkluderande offentlig sektor, där offentliga resurser och kollektiva nyttigheter används smart och effektivt.

High cyclin A expression, but not Ki67, is associated with early recurrence in desmoid tumors
- 2018
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Desmoid tumors are soft-tissue tumors originating from myofibroblasts with a tendency to recur after surgery. High expression of proliferation markers is associated with shortened progression-free and/or overall survival in many neoplasms, including soft-tissue sarcomas. We investigated the prognostic role of cyclin A and Ki67 in desmoid tumors by immunohistochemistry.METHODS: The study included 76 patients with desmoid tumor operated at Helsinki University Hospital between 1987 and 2011. A tissue micro array (TMA) was constructed and the TMA sections were immunostained with cyclin A and Ki67 antibodies. A computer-assisted image analysis was performed.RESULTS: Cyclin A expression was evaluable in 74 and Ki67 in 70 patients. Cyclin A immunopositivity varied from 0% to 9.9%, with a mean of 1.9%. Cyclin A expression correlated significantly with Ki67. Cyclin A expression was associated with recurrence-free survival (HR 1.9, 95% CI = 1.1-3.2, P = .02), as were positive margin (HR 6.0, 95% CI = 1.6-22.5, P = .008) and extremity location (HR 5.3, 95% CI = 1.7-16.8, P = 0.005). Ki67 immunopositivity varied from 0.33% to 13.8%, with a mean of 4.6%, but had no significant prognostic impact (HR 1.1, P = .2).CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicates that cyclin A may be a new prognostic biomarker in surgically treated desmoid tumors.
