Intervenciones psicológicas en adultos con discapacidad intelectual y trastorno límite de la personalidad comórbido
Authors: Galí Rapún Dafne
Published: December 2018

Objetivo: La importancia de identificar la comorbilidad psicopatológica permite responder de forma más efectiva a la aplicación de ciertos tratamientos específicos, en función de las características de los individuos con discapacidad intelectual y su perfil psicopatológico. El objetivo de la presente revisión es describir cuáles son las intervenciones que se llevan a cabo en individuos adultos con discapacidad intelectual asociada a un trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP) y determinar su efectividad. Método: en la revisión de la literatura se han identificado 24 artículos, 11 hacen referencia a la prevalencia de los trastornos psiquiátricos en individuos con discapacidad intelectual y las implicaciones que supone, y 13 a las intervenciones psicológicas en el ámbito de la discapacidad intelectual y TLP comórbido. Las bases de datos utilizadas son WOS (Web of Science), SCOPUS, CINALH, PsycINFO, LILACS y la librería Cochrane. Resultados: el enfoque psicoterapéutico en población con discapacidad intelectual es controvertido y la evidencia sobre las terapias psicológicas es limitada. Respecto a las intervenciones utilizadas, la que aporta unos resultados favorables para la reducción de la sintomatología es la terapia dialéctica conductual.
Impacto económico y social de la asistencia personal a través de la metodología del Retorno Social de la Inversión
Authors: Iáñez Domínguez Antonio , Aranda Chaves José L. , García Romero Julia
Published: December 2018

La figura del asistente personal es clave para que las personas con diversidad funcional puedan desarrollar sus proyectos de vida y hacer efectiva la vida independiente. A pesar de que la prestación de asistencia personal está recogida en el artículo 19 de la Ley 39/2006, de 14 de diciembre, de promoción de la autonomía personal y atención a las personas en situación de dependencia, ha sido poco promocionada y se presenta como un desafío en el avance por la igualdad de oportunidades. Este artículo muestra los resultados de una investigación que ha medido el impacto económico y social de un proyecto puesto en marcha por la Asociación Vida Independiente de Andalucía, en la que un grupo de siete personas con diversidad funcional han diseñado y ejecutado su propio proyecto de vida independiente. Se ha aplicado una metodología que calcula el Retorno Social de la Inversión, que se interesa no solo por los aspectos estrictamente económicos sino también sociales y ambientales. De los resultados obtenidos se desprenden los beneficios de la asistencia personal en la vida de las personas con diversidad funcional, sus familias y en las administraciones.

Biodiversity of weed communities in common wheat and spelt following various forecrops
Authors: Wanic Maria , Parzonka Mariola , Załuski Dariusz
Published: December 2018

Environmentally-friendly solutions are increasingly often applied in crop cultivation technologies. These include, among others, the return of old crops (e.g., spelt wheat) and crop rotation. Ensuring a proper forecrop is essential, especially in the cultivation of winter wheat, which is susceptible to infestation by weeds. However, there is only sparse information on infestation by weeds in the cultivation of winter spelt. In this study, it was assumed that this crop is invaded by weeds to a lesser extent than wheat, especially after unfavorable forecrops. The study was based on a field experiment conducted in the east part of Poland. The aim was to compare the weed infestation of common wheat and spelt wheat grown after peas, oilseed rape, and after itself. Analyses of weed infestation were conducted in 2014–2016. The weed species composition and population size were determined as well as their dry weight. The following indices were calculated: index of species richness, Simpson’s domination index, Shannon–Wiener index of species diversity, and Pielou’s index of evenness. The weed infestation of spelt wheat was higher than that of common wheat during the tillering stage. It was similar in both species during the heading stage. The lowest weed infestation in both cereals was observed on a field where peas had grown. Growing after oilseed rape and after themselves contributed to an increase in weed infestation. Biomass of weeds in a field of spelt was similar after all forecrops, unlike that in wheat, where more biomass was observed after oilseed rape and wheat. A greater share of Apera spica-venti and Viola arvensis was observed in common wheat and spelt grown after oilseed rape and after themselves. Weed communities in spelt were more diverse than in wheat. The forecrops did not differentiate the species diversity in either crop.
VERBAL FLUENCY AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH INHIBITORY CONTROL IN CHILDREN GRADES 1-3
Authors: Memisevic Haris , Soce Sanja , Kuralic Cisic Lejla , Biscevic Inga , Pasalic Arnela
Published: December 2018

Verbal fluency (VF) is a good indicator of a child’s academic prowess and later academic success. The goal of the present study was to examine the association between VF and inhibitory control. An additional goal was to examine the developmental trajectories of VF in relation to the grade and gender of the children.

The sample for this study consisted of 210 children attending grades 1 to 3. Children’s performance was measured on two VF tasks: semantic fluency and phonological fluency. As a measure of inhibitory control we used a number of commission errors committed on the Multiple Choice Reaction Test.

The results of this study indicate the lack of association between VF and inhibitory control. Children improved significantly in VF from grade 1 to grade 3. In relation to gender, girls outperformed boys on the test of phonological fluency but not on the test of semantic fluency.

Given the importance of VF, these skills need to be tackled during the elementary school period and even earlier in preschool.
VALIDATION OF THE FINNISH VERSION OF THE MONTREAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT TEST1
Authors: Nortunen Taija , Puustinen Jukka , Luostarinen Liisa , Huhtala Heini , Hänninen Tuomo
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to determine the clinical utility of the Finnish version of the MoCA test for screening Alzheimer’s disease and MCI. The purpose was to examine the ability (sensitivity and specificity) of the MoCA to distinguish patients with AD and MCI from cognitively normal controls.

The study population consists of three participant groups: patients with AD (n=25), patients meeting the criteria for MCI (n=18), and cognitively normal controls (NC) (n=39). The AD group consists of subjects with very mild (CDR= 0.5, n=12), mild (CDR=1, n=12), and moderate (CDR=2, n=1) dementia, and they were given a diagnosis of dementia by using the revised NINCDS-ARDRA criteria. The normal control group (NC) consists of 39 cognitively normal volunteer participants.

The three study groups differed from each other in terms of sex, age, and level of education. The NCs were younger than the subjects with AD (t [37,374] = 3.265, p = 0.002) and MCI (t [30,800] = 4.306, p = < 0.001). The NCs were also better-educated than the patients with AD (t [54,975] = -3.419, p = 0.001) and MCI (t [40,782] = -3.008, p = 0.004). The sensitivity and specificity of the MoCA in detecting AD and MCI was done according to various cutoff points. With a cutoff score of 26, the MoCA had a sensitivity of 100% to detect subjects with AD and a sensitivity of 100% to detect subjects with MCI. The specificity was 79.5%. With a cutoff score of 24, which was the best threshold in the present study, the MoCA not only had a high sensitivity to detect subjects with AD (96%) and MCI (89%) but also delivered a high specificity (97%).

The MoCA has a high sensitivity and specificity to detect subjects with AD and MCI with a cutoff score of 24/30. The Finnish version of the MoCA is a feasible screening instrument for assessing cognitive decline. According to our study, the optimal cutoff score of the MoCA is 24/30.

Samfundets trosbekendelse
Authors: Korsgaard Ove
Published: December 2018

After World War II, there was broad consensus that schools in Denmark should educate for democracy. But there was no consensus on the role of the state: Should the state ensure that everyone receives a democratic education? Or should the state ensure pluralism, and remain neutral in relation to different life philosophies? Or must both the state and citizens develop a knowledgeable stance in relation to democracy’s fundamental dilemmas? It was without doubt the liberal position that became most influential in post-war Danish educational policy. The core of this strategy was that in a democracy the state should adopt a neutral stance towards the various philosophies of life. However, with the values-political turn of recent years the liberal position is now in retreat. This new trend became clear in 2000, with the then Minister of Education Margrethe Vestager’s manifesto Values in the Real World, in which she stressed that „Now more than ever we need to put in words just what attitudes and values we hold in common“. And the present government has focused on the same issue since 2001, and has commissioned among other things a literary canon, a cultural canon and a democracy canon. The activist values policies of recent years have once again given rise to a number of questions concerning democratic upbringing and the role of the state in efforts to strengthen society’s cohesiveness.
Køn, (u)ligebehandling og den danske folkekirke
Authors: Stormhøj Christel
Published: December 2018

Gender equality that is integral to the values of the Danish society may conflict with respect for the autonomy of religious institutions, because these bodies sometimes discriminate against women. The conflict is settled by exempting faith communities, including the national church, from the Gender Equality Act. The aim of the article is twofold: to discuss the legitimacy of exempting the national church, and to point at alternatives. The article discusses conflicting normative positions in debates about religious accommodation, explores legislative decision-makings, and touches on legal aspects of the conflict in the context of human rights regimes. The article suggests fixing the principle of gender equality in the national church by law while still protecting the minority within the church.

Ruslands identitet og forhold til Vesten
Authors: Splidsboel Hansen Flemming
Published: December 2018

Arguably one of the most remarkable developments in Russian political life in the 2000’s, the formulation by leading politicians of a new national identity based inter alia on distrust of the West has given a large part of the Russian population a clearer understanding of who they are. As such, it has increased their ontological security, that is, their sense of existence now seen as a fundamental need for groups also. This is an unfortunate development as it increases tension in Russia’s relationship with the West. The Russian population may, however, be reluctant to move away from this new identity as this would re-open the question of „who are we?“ and thus cause their ontological security to be reduced. The challenge for the West will be to make the Russian population feel comfortable with an identity that is based on Western values and on thus on trust of the West.
Kampen mellem den amerikanske præsident, Kongressen og Højesteret – styrkelsen af præsidentembedet efter 2001.
Authors: Hammer Marie
Published: December 2018

Former President Bush came into office convinced that the US Presidential Office had been wrongly weakened. The 2001 terrorist attack provided Bush with the opportunity to remedy this situation. Capitalised on new won public support combined with the need for the president to act in a time of emergency Bush aimed to strengthening the power of the presidential office. However, the President’s intentions at the time do not provide us with the full picture. Using agency-theory this article examines the reaction from Congress and the Supreme Court which throughout the period paved the way for change in the institutional balance of power. President Barack Obama signalled a break from this form of imperial presidency but is also dependent on enforcing his electoral pledges. Confronted by an uncooperative Congress and pressure from both Congress and the Court to investigate the Bush–era’s security policies Obama is forces to position himself in the institutional power battle.
Europæiske partiers partifamilier og politiske ideologi
Authors: Munkøe Malthe
Published: December 2018

In day-to-day politics as well as in the field of political science we make frequent use of such terms as Liberal, Social Democrat and Conservative, thus implicitly assuming that we can derive the political positions of a party simply by looking at the party family it belongs to. These labels grew out of a series of political processes in the eighteenth century, and it is therefore questionable whether they have retained their relevance in a time where voter dealignment is commonplace, parties tend to be less ideological and less attached to certain classes or societal groups, and new issues have come to the forefront of political debate. Using a new dataset compiled during the 2009 European Parliament election, it is studied whether the parties belonging to the same party families still have roughly similar ideological attitudes, or party families today are too fragmented politically to constitute a useful analytical concept. The study finds that party families generally speaking are characterized by a relatively high degree of internal cohesion. However, on certain questions many party families do not exhibit a high degree of coherence, indicating that the degree of coherence has decreased with the advent of new political issues. Also, the liberal party family exhibits very low degrees of coherence, and it is questionable whether the liberal parties in fact have enough in common to justify categorizing them under the same ideological heading.
Ingen panik - Iran kan balanceres
Authors: Rahigh-Aghsan Ali
Published: December 2018

The majority view among Iran watchers and experts on the Middle East is that Iran is a rising power that poses an increasing threat to regional and even global security. This article takes issue with this view arguing that the rise of Iran and the threat it poses has been vastly exaggerated. There is no reason to panic - Iran will not be as dominant as some experts believe, and its ability to threaten the Persian Gulf let alone the Middle East is not as great as feared. Even an Iran armed with nuclear weapons can be contained and balanced. Bombing Iran would therefore be a major mistake.

Debatter og reguleringer af muslimske tørklæde – populisme og symboler
Authors: Andreassen Rikke , Siim Birte
Published: December 2018

The article illustrates how the Muslim headscarf has become a symbol of a struggle about liberal principles and values connected with democracy, gender and equality and how it is used by populist forces as symbolic politics in order to promote a more restrictive immigration- and integration policy. In addition, it shows how key actors have employed democracy and gender equality as arguments both for and against the right to wear headscarves. Taking the point of departure in the headscarf debate the authors argue that it has become a normative democratic challenge to accommodate the diversity of cultural and religious minorities and develop a multidimensional equality politics, which integrates principles of ethnic equality with gender equality.
Between angels and demons: boundary symbols and symbolic politics in the Danish management of aliens
Authors: Hedetoft Uld Riber
Published: December 2018

This article will engage with some of the political symbols and the symbolic politics which over the last decade have been developed in aid of the con rmation and reassertion of the borders between ‘them’ and ‘us’ in Denmark – and the ways such border and boundary symbols get deployed as discursive weapons in the ght against a threat which sometimes is demonized as both internal and external, but more and more frequently get played down, modi ed or even neutralized in the context of more pragmatic perceptions of integration. In consequence of this current tendency, the paper will nally discuss not only the symbolic politics of boundaries, but also new developments constraining the usefulness of old-style symbolic politics while in the process introducing new boundaries and di erent political priorities.
Geopolitikkens geografi
Authors: Larsen Henrik Gutzon
Published: December 2018

Over the past decades, a ‘neoclassical geopolitics’ has emerged in and beyond the field of International Relations. This diverse practice reproduces many of the problems that characterised classical geopolitics, notably an excessive tendency to explain politics on the basis of ostensibly permanent geographical factors. As a contribution to the interdisciplinary dialogue between International Relations and (Political) Geography, this article outlines the history of classical geopolitical reasoning and some problems that relate to this tradition. The contemporary perspective of ‘critical geopolitics’ is introduced as a radically different alternative. But the core problem of classical as well as neoclassical geopolitics is a superficial understanding of geographical space, which all too easily results in geographical determinism. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on different conceptions of space. It is argued that rather than looking to classical geopolitics with its scientific and ultimately also politically problematic notions of geography, analyses of international and global politics is better served by adopting a relational approach to geography, which stresses the geographical as dialectically related to the social and the historical.
Politiske skandaler i danske medier 1980-2010
Authors: Blach-Ørsten Mark
Published: December 2018

This article presents an overview of the political scandal in Denmark from 1980 to 2010. The article focuses on two kinds of scandal: The political scandal that concerns a minister or a politician’s transgressions within the realm of politics, and the norm scandal that concerns a minister or a politician’s personal transgressions either in the role of minister/politician or as a private person. The article concludes that there has been a dramatic rise in the number of political scandals from 2000 and onwards, but also that this rise – with some exceptions – may be viewed as a sign of Denmark as a healthy liberal democracy.

Published: December 2018

Though Securitization theory has been applied to cases worldwide, it has been criticized for limited applica- bility to the non-western world. When, in 2010, Centre for Advanced Security eory began a collaboration with Danish Egyptian Dialogue Institute and Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo, Securitization theory was challenged on two levels: e theory was to both analyse and act politically in a Middle Eastern context, and then during the Arab Spring, the role of the entire Egyptian security sector was reevaluated. ese unique circumstances prompted re ections on the use of non-traditional and traditional security concepts, how the Egyptian revolution could be understood through Securitization eory, as well as what the experiences of this project will mean for further theory development. is article discusses these points in light of the Danish delegation’s experiences.

WikiRevolution?
Authors: Der Derian James
Published: December 2018

Did WikiLeaks change the world? Lost in the sensationalism, personalization and media spasm of the event was any historical or political assessment of how or even whether the revelation of state secrets actually a ects the conduct of diplomacy and war. Taking one step back, two steps forward, this essay compares historic whistle blowing – like Trotsky’s opening of the Tsarist diplomatic archives after the Russian revolution and Wilson’s call for a transparent new diplomacy after the First World War – to the polarized reaction that fol- lowed the passing of over a half million classi ed documents and two videos by Private Bradley Manning to WikiLeaks. e signi cance of the event should be judged less by the content of the documents and more by the emergence of a new networked medium of global transmission that further erodes the institutions and prerogatives of statecraft.

Denmark has been hit harder by the global nancial, economic and scal crisis than our neighbouring countries. is has meant political and administrative challenges. e crisis has been responded upon by the use of several crisis management strategies. Initiatives trying to stimulate the economy, such as advancing investments and reducing taxes, have gone hand in hand with retrenchment initiatives such as reductions in welfare programmes and cutbacks in central government. In the article a typology of crisis management strategies is developed and crisis management strategies used are analysed. In addi- tion it is discussed whether reform capacity is rebuild and elevated as well as which the e ects may be for the development of administrative policy in future.

Private and public organizations alike have to be concerned about their image and about the potential reputational damage if a researcher is let in and ends up making a criti- cal analysis of the organization. is concern can make the researcher’s life di cult and demands planning and a certain amount of awareness once the data collection has started. e article aims at preparing and improving this process.
Økonomisk politik – nødvendighed, konsensus eller ideologi?

Policy discussions are centered on economic policies and reforms. e driver in this process is the challenge of ensuring the nancial viability of an extended welfare state due to demographic changes and reinforced by the economic crisis. Economic policies may appear defensive solely enforced by necessities. However, a base for maintaining an extended welfare state has been ensured, and in comparative perspective this re ects a clear ideological choice.

Creating Credit and Rating it: New Kids on the Block in Post Crisis Global Finance
Authors: Thompson Grahame
Published: December 2018

This article examines the evolution of Central Bank (CB) activity since the nancial crisis of 2007/8. e huge expansion of CBs balance sheets presents new problems of managing the unwinding of those positions as innovatory policies like quantitative easing are scaled back. is poses problems of institutional credibility and the resilience of CBs as the managers of nancial systems and of sovereign debt. A consequence of these events has been a renewed focus on exactly how sovereign risks are assessed in the new era of central bank led capitalism. e article explores the institutional reaction by the traditional credit ratings agencies and a series of new organizations that are trying to muscle in on the credit ratings business with new metrics of calculation and credit risk assessment.
Why the European Commission is Wrong to Push for a European Financial Transactions Tax
Authors: Lysandrou Photis
Published: December 2018

A financial activities tax (FAT) and a nancial transactions tax (FTT) represent alternative ways of taxing the nancial sector. In preparing a common proposal for the European Union, the European Commission initially appeared to favour the FAT but then swung its weight behind the FTT in late 2011. Its reasoning was that in addition to generating revenue this tax could also help to stabilize the nancial markets by curb- ing excessive speculative trading. is paper takes a di erent position. It argues that the FTT would amplify rather than dampen market instability by interfering with the functions of important nancial institutions. Its conclusion is that the FAT would be superior to the FTT.

The idea of measuring results and e ects has gained prevalence in an increasing number of policy areas. e specialised youth area represents one of the „soft“ service areas in which Danish municipalities increas- ingly have introduced performance measurement systems. However, research regarding the bene ts of these systems is scarce. is article therefore examines the challenges of measuring e ects of municipal initiatives in the specialised youth area based on a case study of Aarhus Municipality’s use of result documentation. We demonstrate how result documentation is subject to considerable uncertainty. Accurate measurements are complicated by the character of the area and by the fact that the municipality’s initiatives take place in a context where many simultaneous changes occur.

Published: December 2018

In Swedish contemporary society we nd ongoing processes of secularization and the idea of secularism be- ing challenged by a growing religious plurality in society. e overall purpose of this article is to highlight what happens when religion in a secularized and secular society enter into the public sphere as a result of inter-religious groups’ collaboration with local authorities. is is done through interviews and observations of three inter-religious groups meetings during 2010 and 2011. e collaboration between the inter-religious groups and the local authorities were initiated as a result of perceived problems of integration in the society and aims to include religious communities in society which may change the ongoing processes of seculariza- tion. One of the major problems with the collaborations was related to which religious community could be included by reasons of economic resources, access to personnel and premises and the acceptance and establishment in society.
Resultater ved fronten – brugen af effektstyring i dagtilbud
Authors: Grøn Caroline Howard
Published: December 2018

The article illustrates how management by objectives is practiced in everyday life in the Danish public sector. By analysing use of a management-by-objectives-inspired tool in everyday practices by employees in day-care in a Danish municipality, the article shows how the same managerial impulse can result in remarkably dif- ferent actions at street-level. While some employees do noting faced with the managerial initiatives others do very di erent things with the same initiative as point of reference. Variations in use can partly be explained by local managerial support, the local organization of work and the existing of competing agendas which crave employee attention. e article clearly illustrates how a coherent tool at administrative level can be transformed in to numerous di erent tools in practice.
Borgerinddragelse som opdragelse til repræsentativt demokrati
Authors: Böss Michael
Published: December 2018

The purpose of the article is to discuss whether decreasing con dence in politicians, political parties and governments and falling electoral participation should be seen as expressions of a crisis of representative democracy. Although it does point out elements that re ect a disjunction between the classical argument for representative democracy – legitimacy and e ectiveness – the article rejects this perception. e article argues, however, that there are good reasons for supplementing representative democracy with deliberative processes as a means of keeping a democratic culture vibrant and enhancing the public’s understanding of the character, aims, and conditions of representative democracy.
Danmarks militære aktivisme fortsætter med eller uden USA
Authors: Jakobsen Peter Viggo
Published: December 2018

It is a widespread misunderstanding that Denmark’s military activism can be explained by American unipo- larity. Denmark began to use its armed forces for activist purposes before the United States became a global power after the end of World War Two. Denmark will not stop its military activism if the United States stops requesting military contributions. e military activism will then continue in cooperation with France, the United Kingdom, the United Nations and the European Union (provided that the Danish opt out on defence is removed). Denmark’s military activism has been underpinned by broad political consensus since the start in 1920 with the Iraq war (2003) as the only exception.
Hvad blev der af den klassiske Kold Krigs-aktivisme? Den nordiske dimension i dansk udenrigspolitik
Authors: Olesen Mikkel Runge , Wivel Anders
Published: December 2018

Since the end of the Cold War, Danish foreign policy activism has been characterized by a tightening of the bond to the US and by a gradually increasing Danish willingness to participate in military interventions far from Denmark’s borders. On the surface such activism seems to stand in contrast to the superpower-skeptical Nordic activism of the Cold War era. However, this article argues that Danish activism can be understood as a new variant of Nordic activism, adjusted to a new world order and pursued by di erent means, but still centered on the promotion of classical Nordic values such as social equality and human rights. is Dan- ish approach was not immediately embraced by the other Nordic countries. Recent developments, however, indicate that they are moving closer to the Danish position and that Danish Activism and Nordic activism might be merging once more.
Think tank scene in Finland: Nothing spectacular?
Authors: Lounasmeri Lotta
Published: December 2018

This article discusses the think tank scene in Finland and the modest role think tanks seem to play in public debate. In 2005, the first Finnish think tanks associated with political parties were established, and since then, several new ones have popped up. Until now, they have not received substantial media attention. One notable exception is the traditional Finnish Business and Policy Forum (EVA) that was founded in the 1970s and has secured a position as a credible public discussant. However, in light of the great popularity of think tanks in the other Nordic countries, even the public attention granted to EVA seems modest. The article presents empirical results of a media analysis and discusses possible reasons for the lesser visibility.

It is becoming increasingly popular among Danes to use early voting. The article describes the changes that have been made in the electoral law to accommodate the use of early voting and describes the historical development in the use of early voting. In addition, we show that there is considerable variation in the use of early voting at the municipal level, and that it is especially the citizens of the island municipalities, rich municipalities and metropolitan municipalities that use early voting. In the third part of the analysis, we examine individual differences in the use of early voting with the help of a data set with over two million Danish voters in the municipal elections in 2013. We show that early voting is primarily used by the oldest citizens and citizens with a non-technical education – two groups that traditionally have turned out at high rates. Finally, we analyze the characteristics that can help to predict which citizens use early voting.

Is the city the appropriate scale for participatory democracy? Some answers from Brazil
Authors: Legard Sveinung
Published: December 2018

This study compares participatory budgeting at the city and state level in Brazil. It shows that, that even though the practice of participatory budgeting more closely resembles the ideals of participatory democracy at the city level, this does not mean that participatory democracy is impossible at larger scales. To the contrary, the difference between participatory budgeting at the city and state level is more a question of gradations than vast leaps of democratic merit. Furthermore, some of the features that are considered unique to the city – neighborhood-based community associations that mobilize and discuss with citizens in local public spheres – are also important in participatory budgeting at the state level. The experiences of participatory budgeting at the city and state level in Brazil suggest that it is wrong to overemphasize the uniqueness of the city and also to undervalue the special role the city might play in larger participatory processes.

Kontroversiel relevans: Tal der virker, er tal der splitter
Authors: Meilvang Hjalte
Published: December 2018

Statistics and indicators are key tools for the use of knowledge in policy, management and governance. In the so-called evaluation wave (Dahler-Larsen and Kristiansen 2015) and evidence-based-policy movement (Bhatti et al. 2006; Krogstrup 2011) numbers contribute ostensibly objective descriptions and the possibility of explicit comparison. However, indicators should not be regarded as unproblematic value-free knowledge – but must be seen as politically efficacious when we have ‘trust’ in them through their seemingly uncontroversial objectivity (Porter 1995). However, it is difficult for an indicator to be at the same time politically significant and uncontroversial. Numbers and statistics become relevant when they are used. But use increases the risk of controversy. Numbers that work, work in ways that will be contrary to some. Through an analysis of standardized testing in Danish schools, this article explores how the politics of numbers unfolds between relevance, where numbers become useful for management and governance – and the controversy this relevance causes.
Viden, værdi og omstridt ekspertise: Analyse af den danske debat om lægemiddelprioritering
Authors: Wadmann Sarah
Published: December 2018

This article explores an ongoing attempt to introduce health economic evaluation in the assessment of newly marketed pharmaceuticals in Denmark. Drawing on valuation theory from the field of science and technology studies (STS), the purpose is to analyse how various conceptions of value interact in the public debate, and how it shapes the political solutions. Building on document analysis, the article shows how actors in the debate express contrasting conceptions of what constitutes relevant expertise, proper mechanisms of resource allocation and a legitimate basis for political decisions. In an attempt to accommodate the dissonance, the resulting decision-model has introduced new challenges for the health authorities to deal with. In particular, a somewhat paradoxical situation has arisen where evaluation institutions are required to undertake evaluations of treatment costs – but without the option of using well-established health economic methods to judge the cost-effectiveness. Hence, evaluation institutions are left with the challenge of how to operationalise the decision-model.

Nej, det er ikke bare løgn
Authors: Søe Sille Obelitz
Published: December 2018

Begreber som ’Fake News’, misinformation og disinformation har fyldt en del i den politiske offentlighed i den seneste tid. Der er til stadighed en vis uklarhed omkring, hvad disse begreber dækker over, men én ting er sikkert: ’Fake News’ er falske og de skal bremses så sandheden kan vinde frem. Eller …? Problemet er nemlig, at det i bund og grund ikke er et spørgsmål om sandhed og falskhed, men i stedet er et spørgsmål om vildledning og ikke-vildledning.

Vi argumenterer for, at falske nyheder skal forstås og undersøges empirisk i deres natur- lige habitat. Falske nyheder bør ikke blot håndteres som et spil whack-a-mole, hvor formålet er at slå det falske ned, hver gang det dukker op, som var det et muldvarpehoved i en spilleautomat, men derimod at forsøge at forstå de gange, muldvarpen graver.

Making room for change: Spatial tactics and the micropolitics of inhabiting organisational space
Authors: Clausen Rune Thorbjørn , Elmholdt Kasper Trolle
Published: December 2018

Literature on organisational space has pointed at the political nature of space. In this article, we explore the relation between the physical space of organisations and change. Through a case study of a media company that successfully designed a new headquarters with the aspiration to become an open, coherent and transparent organisation, we describe and analyse the micropolitics of organisational space. Using the concept of ‘spatial tactics’, we explain how initial intentions with the building design were resisted and renegotiated at the micro level as employees began inhabiting organisational space, by which, we argue, room for change was made. The study contributes to the literature on space and organisational change by providing an empirical account of how spatial tactics matter for making buildings work in change initiatives.

Polymyositis, Dermatomyositis, and Statins: A Review
Authors: Turrin Mauro
Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND: Statins are a well-recognized cause of a variety of skeletal myopathic effects, which generally resolve when discontinuing the treatment. Among autoimmune manifestations associated with statins, there are typical polymyositis (PM) and typical dermatomyositis (DM).OBJECTIVE: To perform a review on published case reports and case series about statin-associated PM and DM.METHODS: This literature comprehensive search was conducted mainly on PubMed, but also congress abstracts and university websites were considered. Given the paucity of cases, the search was extended to include articles in all languages with English abstract.RESULTS: Twenty-eight PM and 30 DM cases have been described with prevalence in female (64%) and senile age. The drugs most frequently involved were atorvastatin and simvastatin. The differential diagnosis should be made among the main myositis subtypes: immuno-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), inclusion body myositis (IBM), and overlap syndrome with myositis (OM), including anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS).CONCLUSIONS: Even though the onset of polymyositis or dermatomyositis is a rare phenomenon, it is advisable to consider their presence in patients taking statins and with a non-reversible elevation of creatine phosphokinase.
