Polisen i förändring : En fallstudie om Polismyndighetens upphandling av kommunikationstjänster från PR-byrån Prime

Polismyndigheten har under 2015 påbörjat och ska under 2016 fortsätta undergå en omorganisering. En del av omorganiseringen innefattar att Polismyndigheten skrivit ett fyraårigt kontrakt värderat till 35 miljoner kronor med Prime Public Relations AB med avseende upphandling av strategiska kommunikationstjänster. Studien syftar till att undersöka vad skälen är till att Polismyndigheten har valt att en PR-byrå ska sköta delar av deras kommunikation och vad det hittills fått för konsekvenser. Totalt analyseras 50 artiklar som publicerats under upphandlingstiden i en innehållsanalys för att få en överblick kring olika teman som framkommit. Innehållsanalysen fungerar som ett kvantitativt komplement till två semi-strukturerade intervjuer samt en mailkorrespondens med projektansvarig för samarbetet med Polismyndigheten på Prime. En av intervjuerna hölls med en tidigare presstalesperson för Polismyndigheten som nu är kommunikationskonsult med uppdrag inom bland annat kriskommunikation. Den andra intervjun hölls med ansvarig handläggare för upphandlingen hos Polismyndigheten. En enkät kompletterar materialet med utomstående åsikter kring förändring av förtroendet för polisen i samband med upphandlingen. Tillsammans bidrar metoderna till ett gediget material för fallstudien som blir belyst från olika håll både med hjälp av kvalitativ samt kvantitativ data. Resultaten leder fram till en diskussion kring organisationskommunikation och intern kritik från anställda poliser som en produkt av upphandlingen. Analysen tar även upp de anställdas meningsskapande av den nya kontexten inom myndigheten samt en diskussion om förtroende och huruvida situationen kring upphandlingen skulle kunna ha sköts på ett annat sätt för att undvika negativa konsekvenser. 

Despite differences between dendritic cells and Langerhans cells in the mechanism of papillomavirus-like particle antigen uptake, both cells cross-prime T cells

As human papillomavirus-like particles (HPV-VLP) represent a promising vaccine delivery vehicle, delineation of the interaction of VLP with professional APC should improve vaccine development. Differences in the capacity of VLP to signal dendritic cells (DC) and Langerhans cells (LC) have been demonstrated, and evidence has been presented for both clathrin-coated pits and proteoglycans (PG) in the uptake pathway of VLP into epithelial cells. Therefore, we compared HPV-VLP uptake mechanisms in human monocyte-derived DC and LC, and their ability to cross-present HPV VLP-associated antigen in the MHC class I pathway. DC and LC each took up virus-like particles (VLP). DC uptake of and signalling by VLP was inhibited by amiloride or cytochalasin D (CCD), but not by filipin treatment, and was blocked by several sulfated and non-sulfated polysaccharides and anti-CD16. In contrast, LC uptake was inhibited only by filipin, and VLP in LC were associated with caveolin, langerin, and CD1a. These data suggest fundamentally different routes of VLP uptake by DC and LC. Despite these differences, VLP taken up by DC and LC were each able to prime naive CD8(+) T cells and induce cytolytic effector T cells in vitro. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Measurement of strain and strain rate by echocardiography - Ready for prime time?

Strain and strain rate (SR) are measures of deformation that are basic descriptors of both the nature and the function of cardiac tissue. These properties may now be measured using either Doppler or two-dimensional ultrasound techniques. Although these measurements are feasible in routine clinical echocardiography, their acquisition and analysis nonetheless presents a number of technical challenges and complexities. Echocardiographic strain and SR imaging has been applied to the assessment of resting ventricular function, the assessment of myocardial viability using low-dose dobutamine infusion, and stress testing for ischemia. Resting function assessment has been applied in both the left and the fight ventricles, and may prove particularly valuable for identifying myocardial diseases and following up the treatment response. Although the evidence base is limited, SR imaging seems to be feasible and effective for the assessment of myocardial viability. The use of the technique for the detection of ischemia during stress echocardiography is technically challenging and likely to evolve further. The clinical availability of strain and SR measurement may offer a solution to the ongoing need for quantification of regional and global cardiac function. Nonetheless, these techniques are susceptible to artifact, and further technical development is necessary.

Protocol, image, and discourse in political leadership competition:the case of Prime Minister Lionel Jospin, 1997-2002

This article examines the relationship between Prime Minister Jospin and President Chirac in the period 1997 to 2002. It is concerned in particular with symbolism, discourse and protocol, and how these have mediated the political competition between Chirac and Jospin. We develop a framework of analysis with several main strands. We consider the effects of the institutions of the Fifth Republic upon the political conduct of Prime Minister and President. We observe the perceived character traits of the individuals concerned, as well as the character traits expected of the offices of President and Prime Minister. We investigate the influence of the past upon the behaviour of Chirac and Jospin in the present, both in terms of notions of regime crisis which configured the institutions in the first place, and in relation to the image of previous holders of the offices (especially Charles de Gaulle and Franois Mitterrand).

'The prime minister said...': voices in translated political texts

A variety of texts are translated to fulfil functions for political communication across languages, cultures, and ideologies. For example, newspapers regularly provide quotes of statements by foreign politicians, without explicitly indicating that these politicians were actually speaking in their own languages. Politicians react to statements by other politicians as they were presented to them in translation. Political scientists and other experts often debate the potential political consequences of (the translation of) a statement. This chapter addresses the (in)visibility of translation in political communication and the link between textual profiles of translations and the socio-political contexts in which they are produced. The analyses are conducted from the perspective of Translation Studies. The focus is on institutionalised forms of political discourse, i.e. texts that originate in political or media institutions. The link between translation profiles and the social, institutional, ideological conditions of text production is illustrated with reference to authentic political texts (interviews, speeches by politicians, press conferences), mainly involving English, French and German as source and target languages.
