Tävlingen är avslutad, rösterna räknade och korad till innehavare av Sveriges Mysigaste Hem är Sara N. Ekström och Johan Ekström i Störlinge, en liten by på Öland. I huset har de bott sedan 2019 och Sara berättar att det är en gård som funnits i hennes familj sedan 1600-talet. De tog över huset 2019, efter hennes mormors bror.
På gården mitt emot bor idag både hennes föräldrar och ena syster med make och barn, så det är lite Bullerbynkänsla förklarar hon.
På frågan: Vilken är era största inspirationskälla när det kommer till heminredning? Så svarar vinnaren Sara:
– Jag skulle säga dåtiden, säger Sara, jag inspireras mycket av det gamla från förr, allt från gamla fotografier till vackra möbler. Jag har vuxit upp i ett hem där nästan allt hade en historia och var kopplat till någon i släkten, och det har verkligen påverkat mig.
– Min mamma har också ett väldigt mysigt hem, så jag har nog fått mycket därifrån. Och självklart har jag kollat på massor av fina hem på Instagram, det är en jättebra inspirationskälla.
Vad tycker vinnaren är mysigast med deras hem?
– Jag skulle säga att vi i detalj själva fått skapa vårt hem precis som vi vill ha det. Vi har dessutom bevarat en massa äldre detaljer som den renoverade kakelugnen, gamla tavlor och fotografier. Jag gillar också den öppna känslan, att alla kan vara tillsammans men att man ändå kan sitta lite i undangömd i en mysig fåtölj.
I det senaste numret av Villalivet, som kommer ut 21 – 24 november 2023, samt på villalivet.se får läsarna veta mer om deras inspirerande hem.
Tävlingen startade i februari där Villalivet bad läsarna skicka in sina bilder som beskrev det mysiga med just deras hem. Villalivets läsare valde (genom röstning) ut 25 finalister bland de 1 117 tävlande bidragen i kvalet. Därefter fick läsarna även rösta fram de tre vinnarna i Sverige.
Vinnare blev Sara N. Ekström från den pittoreska byn Störlinge på Öland. Tvåa blev Julia Nilsson från Glömminge på Öland och trea blev Frida Clarberg från Ingelstad, strax söder om Växjö.
Som vinnare i tävlingen får Helena varor för över 137 000 kr: 50 000 kr i presentkort från Mio, Vista ångdusch från Tylö värde 87 000 kr och hemlig present från Landshypotek Bank.
Andraplats vann priser/produkter till ett värde av 62 500 kr och tredjeplats 22 350 kr.
Tävlingen har genomförts för 6:e året i rad och har engagerat många läsare och flera exklusiva partners som bidragit med de fina priserna. Vi riktar ett stort tack till: Mio, Landshypotek Bank och Tylö.
- Vi på Mio vill hjälpa alla att skapa hem att trivas i och vara stolta över. Därför är vi också stolta över att vara med och bidra i tävlingen Sveriges Mysigaste Hem där så många spännande bidrag kan vara med och inspirera både våra kunder och oss till att göra hemmen i Sverige mysigare, säger Joakim Holmstrand, kommersiell chef på Mio
– Bastun, som utgör hjärtat i många hem, är en plats där välmående, avslappning och såväl egentid som socialt umgänge äger rum. På Tylö känner vi oss stolta över att vara med och bidra i tävligen Sveriges Mysigaste hem. Det är inspirerande att se så många fina bidrag, och nu får vi möjligheten att fortsätta skapa en underbar atmosfär för vinnarna, säger Kajsa Nydahl, Marknadschef på Sauna360 Group.
– Våra hem är viktiga, oavsett var vi bor är hemmet en mittpunkt i livet. Det är inspirerande att se att så många lägger ned tid och engagemang på att skapa trivsamma och personliga hemmiljöer. Jag hoppas och tror att alla fantastiska bidrag och vinnarna av den här tävlingen kan bidra till att många fler blir engagerade i sitt hem, säger Catharina Åbjörnsson Lindgren, affärschef på Landshypotek Bank.
- Väldigt roligt att se hur stort engagemang som Sveriges Mysigaste Hem genererar hos våra läsare och att vi ser bidrag från villaägare över hela landet vilket visar på ett starkt intresse för det egna hemmet. Vi kan även se tävlanden i alla åldrar som understryker bredden i tävlingen, säger Jonas Natt och Dag, marknadschef på Villalivet.

"To avoid people-related failures in transformations, M&A, and critical projects, those risks should be analyzed and false beliefs about the existing surveys should be corrected," writes Timo Järvinen, the founder of NayaDaya Analytics Inc.
According to McKinsey, "European talent is ready to walk out the door".
During this post-pandemic era, high levels of employee turnover and lack of skilled people are a fundamental risk for growth, competitiveness, and even survival. During transformations, post-merger integrations, and critical projects, companies become even more vulnerable to these people-related risks.
The worst thing companies can do is to keep on doing what they have always done. To be content with old habits can be deceiving. One of these old ways is the misunderstanding that employee experiences and behavior could be understood, and the people-related risks identified by only asking questions with the traditional one-dimensional response scales.
To face the reality with their employees, there are three things companies should do: 1) identify the people risk levels, 2) reveal their root causes, and 3) find out the action points to minimize the employee turnover, quiet quitting, and decrease in productivity – and to engage and inspire people.
To unfold these crucial insights, one should not rely on the traditional tools and metrics. And why is that? Because in order to predict the people risk levels and their root causes, you need to be able to understand employee behavior, especially engagement and disengagement.
But wait a minute! Aren’t companies measuring engagement, for example with employee surveys and pulses? They have done that for years and...
My point exactly. Everyone has executed those surveys and pulses for years – and many believe that they are measuring engagement.
A glimpse of science: emotional and behavioral science tells us that the traditional survey scales, such as satisfaction, do not correlate with engagement and disengagement. If companies want to find out what is engaging or disengaging people, the traditional surveys are useless.
Employee engagement is not the same as feeling contentment – continuing as before and staying in the comfort zone. Engagement means dynamic actions, participating, and rolling up the sleeves when facing changes and challenges.
Unfortunately, satisfaction or even tendency to recommend one's employer do not indicate engagement. On the contrary, they correlate with passivity and even unwillingness to engage in anything new. This is particularly problematic during changes.
I have good news: new people risk analytics, which is based on a scientific emotional and behavioral intelligence and a Finnish-Swiss innovation, is able to build the deepest insight into people risks with the smallest effort one can imagine.
Traditionally, employers have executed long employee surveys 1-2 times a year or short pulse surveys quarterly, monthly, or even weekly. With the scientific method based on long-term emotions, companies can run very short surveys only 1-4 times a year, depending on the intensity of the change. For example, three times a year is enough during the post-merger integrations.
The process is agile. Only three intuitive questions produce the needed input for the analytics. These three questions cover emotions, their strength, and the reasons behind the emotions in the context of an employer, a transformation, an integration, or a project.
Thanks to the amazing power of emotions and science, and our unique algorithm, the output reveals things that have not been even asked for. The analytics visualizes exactly those fundamental things companies need to find out: 1) people risk levels, 2) their root causes, and 3) the action points to minimize the people-related risks, e.g. talent walking out their door or the quiet quitting.
Instead of merely knowing the levels of contentment, companies now will see where to focus actions to engage, motivate, and inspire people to not only stay in their jobs but to go the extra mile, to even become change-makers.
If a group has several, even tens or hundreds of companies, it can easily uncover and compare the people risk levels and their root causes in those business entities. Or if a company executes many acquisitions every year, it can compare the success of the different post-merger integrations based on their engaging or disengaging influence. The same applies for multiple projects.
This way companies are able to point out the business entities, integrations, or projects that are in crisis as well as to see the reasons behind each situation. They will also find out the entities, integrations, or projects with the high levels of positive employee engagement – and identify the reasons behind those successes.
As always, the coin has two sides: the people risk analytics helps companies 1) to avoid financial losses and losing growth opportunities, and 2) to take care of people and to build social sustainability. Both these aspects should be on focus if companies want to be among the winners in an ever-increasing competition for the best talent.

وإلى جانب عمليات البيع الأخرى في دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة، سجّلت إعمار للتطوير إجمالي إيرادات البناء للبيع في الإمارات بقيمة 9.5 مليار درهم إماراتي (2.6 مليار دولار أمريكي. ومدعومةً بمبيعات العقارات المستمرّة في الربع الثالث من عام 2023، ارتفع حجم المبيعات المتراكمة في الإمارات إلى 59.6 مليار درهم إماراتي (16.2 مليار دولار أمريكي) حتى تاريخ 30 سبتمبر 2023، ما يُمثل نمواً سنوياً يزيد على 60%، ومن المتوقّع أن يعزّز ذلك الإيرادات المستقبلية.
مراكز التسوّق، وأصول البيع بالتجزئة والتأجير التجاري
خلال الأشهر التسعة الأولى من عام 2023، سجّلت عمليات إعمار لإدارة المراكز التجارية والبيع بالتجزئة والتأجير التجاري بإيرادات بلغت 4.3 مليار درهم إماراتي (1.2 مليار دولار أمريكي). خلال نفس الفترة، حققت المحفظة أرباحًا قبل خصم الفوائد والضرائب والاستهلاك بقيمة 3.6 مليار درهم إماراتي (980 مليون دولار أمريكي)، وهو ما يمثل زيادة بنسبة 36% مقارنة بالفترة ذاتها من العام 2022 وبعد استبعاد الربح الناتج عن بيع نمشي في الربع الأول من عام 2023 والذي بلغ 700 مليون درهم إماراتي (191 مليون دولار أمريكي). ويعود هذا النجاح إلى مبيعات المستأجرين القوية التي نمت بنسبة حوالي 25% مقارنة بالأشهر التسعة الأولى من العام 2022. كما حققت أصول المراكز التجارية لدينا متوسّط معدّل إشغال مرتفع بلغ 97%.
وفي سبتمبر 2023، كشف دبي مول رسميًا عن أحدث إضافاته: تشايناتاون دبي مول، من خلال حدث ثقافي صينيّ استمرّ لمدّة أسبوع. ومن شأن هذه الإضافة الجديدة، التي تجمع بين التسوّق والجوانب الثقافية والأجواء الشرقية الأصيلة، أن تعزّز من جاذبية المركز التجاري، بالإضافة إلى ترسيخ الروابط الاقتصادية الاستراتيجية بين دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة والصين. وعند دخول الزوّار إلى هذا المكان، فهم ينتقلون بسلاسة إلى لوحة شرقية، تتراوح بين الطعام والعافية والفنّ والتكنولوجيا المتقدّمة، مؤكدةً التزام إعمار بتوسيع وتحسين عروضها التجارية والترفيهية باستمرار.

"If you want to avoid people-related failures in your transformation, M&A, or project, I encourage you to analyze those risks and correct any false beliefs about the existing surveys," writes Timo Järvinen, the founder of NayaDaya Analytics Inc.
According to McKinsey, "European talent is ready to walk out the door".
During this post-pandemic era, high levels of employee turnover and lack of skilled people are a fundamental risk for growth, competitiveness, and even survival. During transformations, post-merger integrations, and critical projects, companies become even more vulnerable to these people-related risks.
The worst thing you can do is to keep on doing what you have always done. To be content with old habits can be deceiving. One of these old ways is the misunderstanding that employee experiences and behavior could be understood, and the people-related risks identified by only asking questions with the traditional one-dimensional response scales.
To face the reality with the employees in your company, there are three things you should do: 1) identify the people risk levels, 2) reveal their root causes, and 3) find out the action points to minimize the employee turnover, quiet quitting, and decrease in productivity – and to engage and inspire people.
To unfold these crucial insights, you should not rely on the traditional tools and metrics. And why is that? Because in order to predict the people risk levels and their root causes, you need to be able to understand employee behavior, especially engagement and disengagement.
But wait a minute! Aren’t we measuring engagement, for example with employee surveys and pulses? We have done that for years and...
My point exactly. Everyone has executed those surveys and pulses for years – and many believe that they are measuring engagement.
A glimpse of science: emotional and behavioral science tells us that the traditional survey scales, such as satisfaction, do not correlate with engagement and disengagement. If you want to find out what is engaging or disengaging people, the traditional surveys are useless.
Employee engagement is not the same as feeling contentment – continuing as before and staying in the comfort zone. Engagement means dynamic actions, participating, and rolling up the sleeves when facing changes and challenges.
Unfortunately, satisfaction or even tendency to recommend one's employer do not indicate engagement. On the contrary, they correlate with passivity and even unwillingness to engage in anything new. This is particularly problematic during changes.
I have good news: new people-risk analytics, which is based on a scientific emotional and behavioral intelligence and a Finnish-Swiss innovation, is able to build the deepest insight into people-risks with the smallest effort you can imagine.
Traditionally, employers have executed long employee surveys 1-2 times a year or short pulse surveys quarterly, monthly, or even weekly. With the scientific method based on long-term emotions, you can run very short surveys only 1-4 times a year, depending on the intensity of the change. For example, three times a year is enough during the post-merger integrations.
The process is agile. Only three intuitive questions produce the needed input for the analytics. These three questions cover emotions, their strength, and the reasons behind the emotions in the context of an employer, a transformation, an integration, or a project.
Thanks to the amazing power of emotions and science, and our unique algorithm, the output reveals things that have not been even asked for. The analytics visualizes exactly those fundamental things you need to find out: 1) people-risk levels, 2) their root causes, and 3) the action points to minimize the people-related risks, e.g. talent walking out your door or the quiet quitting.
Instead of merely knowing the levels of contentment, you now will see where to focus actions to engage, motivate, and inspire people to not only stay in their jobs but to go the extra mile, to even become change-makers.
If your group has several, even tens or hundreds of companies, you can easily uncover and compare the people risk levels and their root causes in those business entities. Or if you execute many acquisitions every year, you can compare the success of the different post-merger integrations based on their engaging or disengaging influence. The same applies for multiple projects.
This way you are able to point out the companies, business entities, or integrations that are in crisis as well as to see the reasons behind each situation. You will also find out the companies or integrations with the high levels of positive employee engagement – and identify the reasons behind those successes.
As always, the coin has two sides: the people-risk analytics helps you 1) to avoid financial losses and losing growth opportunities, and 2) to take care of people and to build social sustainability. Both these aspects should be your focus if you want to be among the winners in an ever-increasing competition for the best talent.
If you want to be a part of this journey that deeply connects the valuable people and companies that are worth their commitment, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Finnish developer of the emotional and behavioral intelligence, NayaDaya Inc. has changed its name to NayaDaya Analytics Inc. The new name portrays the company's evolution, through science-based innovations, towards the unique people risk analytics and scalable robotics.
NayaDaya was founded seven years ago to promote global empathy by making it possible to express, understand, and pay attention to human emotions with a science-based technology. From the beginning, the scientific background was in the research and studies conducted by the University of Geneva, Switzerland.
On the built platform, data has been collected and analyzed in different contexts such as media news content, brands, employers, transformations, M&A, social phenomena, and sustainability. During the evolution of the solution, it has been used by many leading brands and public organizations in Finland. The development has been funded by Google, Business Finland, and NextGenerationEU.
"We are the most grateful for our customers, partners, and supporters who have made it possible to succeed in this long and demanding development journey. There is a lot of work ahead, but now our focus, product market fit, and business model are clear. It is inspiring to start the new phase with a new name," says Timo Järvinen, CEO and Co-founder of the company now named as NayaDaya Analytics Inc.
The words Naya and Daya originate in India. They symbolize different viewpoints and compassion. NayaDaya Analytics and the green symbol depict the combination of people and empathy, science and analytics, and engagement – especially during changes and transformations.
"Through stepping into the shoes of people, for example in transformations and M&A processes, it is possible to build both financial success and social sustainability. This is not just another employee survey or pulse, far from it. Our goal, to create the deepest insight into people risks with the smallest effort by customers, has been reached innovation by innovation," Timo Järvinen continues.
One of the groundbreaking innovations is an algorithm that predicts behavior, especially engagement and disengagement. Science and emotions make it possible – it is something that the traditional surveys and metrics cannot disclose. Further innovations include a science-based root cause analysis, an action plan automation, and an order-to-delivery process covered entirely by robotics.
The outcome is a totally scalable service platform which does not burden people. Only three standard questions are needed as an input. The output includes action points and even concrete recommendations, to reveal and avoid the people risks such as employee turnover and decrease in productivity.
"With our scientific people risk analytics we can provide our customers a standardized, effective, repeatable, and amazingly simple method to tackle the ever-increasing problem of employee and productivity loss, especially in transformations and post-merger integrations. Many studies confirm the magnitude of this challenge. Together with our agents and partners, it is now time to bring the value of this born-global multilingual analytics to companies and organizations worldwide," says Timo Salomäki, Chairman and Chief Product Officer of NayaDaya Analytics Inc.
"We are solving a global problem that is very expensive for companies and employers. Identifying and minimizing people risks strengthen sustainable and profitable growth. To carry out our mission, we need customers, partners, and agents. With angel investors, we are happy to discuss the ongoing funding round. More than half of it is already subscribed," Timo Järvinen points out.
The Finnish-Swiss science-based M&A analytics innovates the way people can be taken care of in the context of post-merger integrations. People risk analytics identifies the root causes leading to employee and productivity loss.
According to studies, most M&A processes fail, often due to people and culture related reasons. Integration pain points often lead to declining performance and employee turnover. Traditional surveys do not understand the impact of changes on engagement. Science tells us that, for example, the amount of satisfaction does not correlate with engagement at all.
This problem has been solved. Employee reactions and their root causes are easily revealed on a scientific emotional and behavioral intelligence platform. The smart process includes only three questions to employees. It is important to pay attention to people, and they should not be burdened with long surveys. Amazingly, the results uncover things that have not even been asked.

Just hours away from the final drop of the SpiroVerse NFT. The web3 platform for Wellness, Health, Nutrition, EnergyCare, Sustainability and the Elevation of Consciousness continues its impact through the 12 + 1 Sacred Artifact NFTs.
The Sacred Geometry Collection is designed to entice and inspire. The mathematically perfect shapes hold meaning through the centuries, cultures, religions and artistic expressions. Found in Greek art, in Aztec and Inca engravings, in Buddhist Temples or in Hindu myths, these shapes have been used to signify virtue, counterpoise the duality of the material and immaterial, male and female, good and evil.
SpiroVerse’s NFTs also carry a utility and a value, both in terms of the SpiroTron token, as well as in the different levels of access they grant to the platform, community, marketplace, retreats and subsequent yields and rewards.
Distributed in 4 levels, the price of these NFTs, which are among the first minted in the TON network, range from 36.90TON for Level 1, to 369TON for Level 4, and with rewards in SpiroTron tokens ($SPIRO). At the time of the public token generation event, $SPIRO is valued at USD 1.
The scheduled drop of this limited edition of Sacred Artifact NFTs is December 13th. To purchase Sacred Artifact NFTs visit https://nft.spiroverse.io/ . For more information about SpiroVerse, please visit https://www.spiroverse.io/

Sacred Artifacts for Sacred Humanity
On a mission. SpiroVerse continues to work towards the enlightenment and elevation of consciousness of humanity through creating a soulful infrastructure built on blockchain and includes everything needed to develop personal energy (health, longevity) and to reach the highest potential (wellbeing, talents, abilities) on one platform.
At this time, and merging Art, Utility and Sacred meaning, SpiroVerse is about to launch a collection of NFT Artifacts. Delving into the effects of Sacred Geometry in our minds and souls, the NFT collection is designed to empower their holders with access to the entirety of the SpiroVerse platform, as well as the SpiroHuman Community, MarketSpace and Vested Rewards.
Art penetrates humanity. From poetry to music, from landscapes to paintings, from architecture to sculptures, the human brain responds to colors, textures and shapes with different emotions. Art touches our soul. It has done so since ancestral times, and, if youtube is any indication, in its musical form, art also attracts other species. From cows to elephants, from dogs to apes, our brainwaves seem attuned to react to artistic inputs.
This is the case with geometry as well. Human development of perspective can turn a 2D representation into the Last Supper, with depth, light rays, fugue points and human shapes. Sacred Geometry is one of these manifestations of art. A special one, as it merges our senses with the language of nature: Mathematics.
With a strong and knowledgeable community, SpiroVerse’s SpiroHumans will have access to a host of like-minded individuals with whom they will be able to participate in community enhancement activities, retreats, classes and skill building courses. All the while having the challenge and reward of earning $SPIRO tokens while they go through their personalized evolution paths.
The scheduled drop of this limited edition of Sacred Artifact NFTs is December 13th. To purchase Sacred Artifact NFTs visit https://nft.spiroverse.io/ . For more information about SpiroVerse, please visit https://www.spiroverse.io/
