BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing longevity of the world's population, with an unprecedented rise in the number of people who need palliative care (PC), there has been sparse research regarding palliative care for older people, especially when it comes to comparison of PC between healthcare systems and cultures. The aim of this systematic scoping review was to identify the characteristics of the
När bör det vara möjligt att genomföra markåtkomst och hur bör ett sådant system regleras rättsligt? Det är en av de frågor som avhandlingen besvarar.Markåtkomst handlar om vilka möjligheter en aktör har för att inskränka äganderätten till mark. Äganderätt generellt är viktig i samhället, den är nödvändig för att individer ska kunna handla med varandra och en fungerande marknadsekonomi. Mark har sPrivate property rights are a central and important institution in the society. These rights are a prerequisite for individuals to have incentives to invest in their properties, be able to trade with each other, economic growth and more. In some situations, private land ownership may have to be put aside for society to function adequately; since society needs to build housing, infrastructure and o
Root distribution during rice cultivation is a governing factor that considerably affects soil water content (SWC) and root water uptake (RWU). In this study, the effects of activating root growth (using growth function) and assigning a constant average root depth (no growth during simulation) on SWC and RWU for rice cultivation under four deficit drip irrigation treatments (T90, T80, T70, and T60
Background: Targeted surveillance of at-risk individuals in families with increased risk of hereditary cancer is an effective prevention strategy if relatives are identified, informed and enrolled in screening programs. Despite the potential benefits, many eligible at-risk relatives remain uninformed of their cancer risk. This study describes the general public's opinion on disclosure of hereditar

All papers are empirical and cover the area of financial market risk, with a particular focus on systemic risk and volatility in financial markets.The first paper analyzes the joint effect of centrality and other characteristics that are essential in determining banks’ systemic importance. Specifically, centrality is treated as a
Measurement of forces exerted by a human hand while performing common gestures is a highly valuable task for assessment of neurorehabilitation and neurological disorders, but also, for control of movement that could be directly transferred to assistive devices. Even though accurate and selective multi-joint measurement of hand forces is desirable in both clinical and research applications there is
Background: Health professions education programs are tasked with designing curricula to effectively andefficiently equip their graduates with the required competences and life-long learning skills needed fortoday’s fast-paced, knowledge intensive society.

The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to determine the effect of lockdowns, also referred to as ‘Covid restrictions’, ‘social distancing measures’ etc., on COVID-19 mortality based on available empirical evidence. We define lockdowns as the imposition of at least one compulsory, non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI). We employ a systematic search and screening procedure in whi
Circular economy (CE) is still a nascent research field in the built environment, however, has gained traction in the last decade. Despite it being generally accepted that sustainability consists of three dimensions, namely, social, environmental, and economic, CE has been criticised for focusing on environmental and economic impact whilst neglecting the social aspect. Further, CE has been critici
Background: The Hawthorne Effect is the change in behaviour by subjects due to their awareness of being observed and is evident in both research and clinical settings as a result of various forms of observation. When the Hawthorne effect exists, it is short-lived, and likely leads to increased productivity, compliance, or adherence to standard protocols. This study is a qualitative component of an
I Massachusetts, USA har en domstol dömt en ung kvinna för vållande till annans död då hon genom textmeddelandet förmått sin pojkvän att begå självmord. I Sverige läggs förundersökningen ner efter att polisman instruerat en ung kvinna att begå självmord genom textmeddelanden. Båda fallen får stor uppmärksamhet och väcker många frågor. I Sverige är det inte olagligt att varken begå självmord elleA court in Massachusetts, USA has convicted a young woman of involuntary manslaughter after she pushed her boyfriend through text messages to commit suicide. In Sweden, the preliminary investigation was closed down after a policeman instructed a young woman through text messages in how to commit suicide. Both cases received great attention and raised many questions. It is not illegal in Sweden to
Sexuella övergrepp är den vanligaste formen av skadlig behandling av barn globalt sett. Samhällets syn på barnet som ett högst skyddsvärt objekt har lett till utvecklingen av särskilda metoder för arbetet med barn idag. För att undvika risken att ett barn som varit med om en traumatisk upplevelse tvingas påminnas om det har en praxis skapats som innebär att barnet inte närvarar i rättegången. StörSexual abuse is the most common form of harmful treatment of children globally. Society´s view of the child as particularly worthy of protection has led to the development of specific methods used in the work with children today. In order to avoid the risk of children subject to abuse being forced to relive the events, a custom of not having the child attend the trial has formed. A greater focus i
Den 1 juli 2018 fick Sverige en ny våldtäktslagstiftning. Den nya lagstiftningen innebar att rekvisitet som skiljer olagligt och lagligt sexuellt umgänge förändrades. I tidigare våldtäktslagstiftning har tvång varit en förutsättning för att en våldtäkt skulle anses förövad. Med den nya regleringen står nu frivillighet i centrum för denna bedömning. Lagändringen föregicks av mycket debatt. Det diskOn the 1st of July 2018 Sweden changed the law on sexual assault. The new law meant that the prerequisite that separate sexual assault and legal sexual intercourse was changed. In previous legislation coercion was needed for a perpetrator to be convicted of sexual assault. The new law instead places voluntariness at the center of the court’s assessment. The amendment was preceded by much debate. T
The initiating impetus of this project was a frustration over the en-masse inaction experienced in relation to the climate crisis. Although people are aware of necessary actions few are able to act. This project attempts to understand people’s inability to act whilst looking at ways to counter this apathy through behavioral change. Through research on convenience, human behavior and inaction we a
Benefit fraud became a major topic in the Swedish news media during the 1990’s. The description of the benefit cheater in news reports has changed over time, often depending on the political landscape. The aim of this study was therefore to analyze how the phenomenon of benefit fraud is portrayed in news media in present time, between 2019-2021. The method chosen for this study was a qualitative c

Purpose – The first purpose of this study is to identify and categorize the motivational factors, from a customer and managerial perspective, that restaurant patrons have when choosing between the self-service kiosk (SSK) or the human service counter during their fast-food order. The second purpose is to identify potential gaps between the customer and manager perspectives. Methodology – This stud
Detecting log data anomalies in real-time is useful since it makes it possible to apply logic that corrects the anomalies when they happen. This project presents a method for detecting public transportation bus event log data anomalies in realtime, without having a labeled data set. Initially, each unique bus trip is represented by the event frequencies, a representation that is not suitable for r
Den 1 april 2019 kommer en ny djurskyddslag träda i kraft. En av de stora och viktiga ändringar för djurskyddet är att ett kunskapskrav ska införas i lagen. Ambitionen var att även ett utbildningskrav skulle införas i lagen men det visade sig vara oproportionerligt och alldeles för betungande för de enskilda. Ett problem som brukar förekomma vid ikraftträdande av en ny lag är att de nya bestämmeOn April 1, 2019, a new law will replace the current Swedish animal welfare law (1988: 534). One of the major and important changes for animal welfare is that the knowledge requirement is to now be introduced into the law. Worth to mention is that there also was an ambition to introduce the education requirement into the law. However, this proved to be disproportionate and too demanding. A probl
