Statistics from 2012 indicate that one out of four Swedish male painters and decorators suffer from work-related disorders. The objective of this thesis was to thoroughly examine the stresses and strains that professional painters and decorators are exposed to throughout an average
Binas surrande är en viktig komponent för känslan av sommar. Men, förutom många hyllmeter av litteratur om några vanliga arter av honungsbi och humlor, vet vi än idag förvånansvärt lite om många av de tjugofem tusen arter vi kallar bin. Vissa humlor överlever Grönlands minusgrader och hårda vindbyar, medan de i Amazonas snarare älskar skogens höga temperatur och fuktighet. Vissa arter bor i stora The buzzing flight of bees is a popular summer hit. Yet, outside of a few familiar species of honeybees and bumblebees, these fantastic little creatures are still mostly unknown. With about twenty-five thousand species, bees are a very diverse group. They can be found in drastically different habitats. For example, some kinds of bumblebees endure the freezing temperatures and windswept tundra of G
Small birds are hot creatures with an average body temperature of 40° Centigrade, and so must burn energy at a formidable rate to stay warm. This becomes quite the challenge in winter when birds are 40-50 degrees warmer than outside for extended periods, even in comparatively mild regions such as Scotland. Thus, the little bird in winter must spend most of the day either feeding or searching for

Protected areas (PAs) embody a historical legacy of value contestation and human exclusion. While the rise of community-based conservation in the 1980s sought to reconfigure this mechanism by running a counter narrative arguing that biodiversity conservation and development were mutually reinforcing objectives, exclusionary PAs continue to maintain a strong position in the conservation discourse.
River Storån, a major tributary of Lake Bolmen which is a source of fresh water to Skåne county of Sweden is found to alter the color of water in the lake due to the presence of natural organic matter. Hence it is of utmost importance to study the river to understand the dynamics of generation and flow of water from the river to the lake. This is done by application of a hydrological modelling sys
Detta arbete har som sitt främsta syfte att belysa lagregleringen samt avsaknaden av lagreglering gällande beslutanderätt vid gemensam vårdnad. Behandlingen av ämnet inriktar sig på den nuvarande lagstiftningen och därtill föreslagna åtgärder för att förbättra möjligheterna för föräldrar med gemensam vårdnad att bibehålla den gemensamma vårdnaden, trots att det råder meningsskiljaktigheter i en viThe aim of this thesis is to clarify the legal situation regarding Swedish custody law. It also discusses the absence of legal rules in terms of right of decision in joint legal custody. The essay is structured to focus on the current legislation and also to argue proposed measures to improve the opportunities for parents with joint legal custody to maintain the joint legal custody even though the
Background: Primary Health Care (PHC) plays a crucial role in managing the COVID-19 pandemic, with only 8% of cases requiring hospitalization. However, PHC COVID-19 data often goes unnoticed on European government dashboards and in media discussions. This project aims to examine official information on PHC patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, with specific objectives: (1) Describe
The hairdresser occupation is classified as probably carcinogenic to humans based on an excess risk for urinary bladder cancer, but it is unclear if current work as a hairdresser entails such a risk. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate if hairdressers have an ongoing exposure to selected carcinogenic aromatic amines. We recruited 295 hairdressers, 32 consumers of hair dyes and 60 co
Energy use and supply are evident issues to consider for a sustainable development, where the economic, social and environmental aspects are all important. In large grid-bound systems, the supply of energy is usually a rather invisible activity and the contacts between household custo-mers and utilities are sometimes only repre-sented through the energy bill. In this thesis, three particular field
I januari 2009 fick en student vid ett vuxengymnasium i Tensta besked om att hon inte tilläts bära niqab i skolan. Niqaben, som är en heltäckande slöja där endast ögonen är synliga, medförde enligt skolan pedagogiska svårigheter såväl som säkerhetsrisker. Händelsen anmäldes till Diskrimineringsombudsmannen och studenten tilläts gå kvar på skolan i väntan på myndighetens beslut. Frågan om dylika heIn January of 2009 a student at an upper secondary school for adults in Tensta was informed that she was not allowed to wear a niqab to school. According to the school board, the niqab, which is a full veil that leaves only the eyes fully visible, implied both security risks as well as pedagogical difficulties. The incident was reported to the Equality Ombudsman, and awaiting the Ombudsman’s decis
Den här uppsatsen behandlar hur palaeocopa ostrakodfossil av familjen Beyrichiidae, avsatta i sensilurisk lagerföljd på Gotland, påverkades av den så kallade Laukatastrofen som ägde rum i sen Ludlow. I lagerföljd avsatt under Laukatastrofen har bland annat anomalier i kolisotop, litologiförändringar och faunaförändringar påvisats, vilka är relaterade till globala havsnivåförändringar och en glaciaThis paper deals with how palaeocope ostracodes of the family Beyrichiidae, from the Silurian strata at Gotland were affected by the Late Silurian Lau Event. The Lau Event is associated with a positive carbon isotope excursion, lithology changes and faunal changes in accumulated strata related to sea-level changes and a glaciation in the Late Ludlow. In order to find out how the beyrichiid faunas
Prostitutionen och lagstiftningen kring den har varit och är ett ämne för ständig debatt. När Sverige 1999 införde en kriminalisering som endast riktade sig mot köparen var en sådan lösning den första av sitt slag i världen. Kriminaliseringen hade föregåtts av en lång debatt och återkommande var frågan vilken effekt en kriminalisering skulle ha i praktiken. Farhågor för en försämrad situation förProstitution and the legislation of it is a subject for constant debate. When Sweden in the year of 1999 introduced a criminalization that only targeted the buyer, it was the first country in the world to do so. The criminalization had been preceded by a long debate, where the question of possible effects of the law in practice constantly was present. Evident were the concerns of a possible impair
Som svar på Rysslands aggression mot Ukraina år 2022, och överträdelse av våldsförbudet i FN-stadgan, har EU och andra likasinnade länder antagit sanktioner som har fryst den ryska centralbankens tillgångar, vilka beräknas uppgå till 300 miljarder euro. Kriget har orsakat enorma och oberäkneliga skador för Ukraina och dess infrastruktur, ekonomi och befolkning. Misstänka internationella brott och In response to Russia’s aggression and illegal use of force against Ukraine in 2022, in violation of the UN Charter, the EU and other partners adopted sanctions immobilising or freezing the assets of the National Central Bank of Russia, assets possibly amounting to over €300 billion. The war has caused enormous and incalculable damages to Ukraine and its infrastructure, economy and people. Suspect
Bakgrund: UNFPA är en underorganisation till Förenta Nationerna (FN). UNFPA fokuserar på populations- och utvecklingsstrategier och jämlikhet mellan könen. I mars 2005 bestämdes det i UNDP/UNFPAs styrelse att UNFPAs inköpsavdelning (PSB) skulle behöva förbättras om de skulle nå upp till sina mål. Flera studier har genomförts och resultatet av dessa visade bland annat på en rekommendation att införBackground: UNFPA is a subsidiary organ to the United Nations (UN) with a primary focus on population and development strategies, sexual and reproductive health and gender equality. In March 2005 the UNDP/UNFPA Executive Board had realized that for the UNFPA Procurement Services Branch (PSB) to operate in line with its mission, focus would need to be directed specifically towards improvements in t
Stakeholders are voicing concerns over the social and environmental impacts of components of Europe’s renewable energy strategy that will significantly increase the region’s demand for forest biomass. Energy companies must address these concerns if they are to manage financial, reputational, regulatory and competitive risks. Sustainability schemes may help reduce such risks by increasing the socia
BACKGROUND: Owing to the large variation in treatment response among patients with high-risk prostate cancer, it would be of value to use objective tools to monitor the status of bone metastases during clinical trials. Automated Bone Scan Index (aBSI) based on artificial intelligence has been proposed as an imaging biomarker for the quantification of skeletal metastases from bone scintigraphy.OBJE
BACKGROUND: Arsenic exposure affects [Formula: see text] people worldwide, including [Formula: see text] in Bangladesh. Arsenic exposure increases the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases, and one potential mechanism of arsenic toxicity is epigenetic dysregulation. OBJECTIVE: We assessed associations between arsenic exposure and genome-wide DNA methylation measured at baseline among 396 Bangl
Background: The receptors for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) are increased in atherosclerotic plaques. Soluble (s)RAGE decreases, whereas the extracellular newly identified receptor for advanced glycation end products (EN-RAGE) increases inflammatory responses mediated by RAGE. The aims were to explore whether sRAGE, EN-RAGE and the EN-RAGE/sRAGE ratio, were associated with the use of lipi
Collimated sprays of paticle, known as jets,are abundantly produced in high-energy proton-proton (pp) collisions, and are predicted by many theories of physics beyond the Standard Model. This thesis reports first on the calibration of jets with focus on the data-driven in situ calibration. Two searches for new physics phenomena in events with jets in the final state are then presented. The analyse
