The aim of this study is to analyze the attitudes of social workers in Sweden in regard to the Social Services prerequisites and resources to work with youths who are at risk of falling into or who are already living a criminal lifestyle. We conducted this study from a qualitative research approach, with the collection of empirical data consisting of 8 semi-structured interviews, 6 of them in phys

As part of both the sharing and social economies, libraries of things (LoTs) can play a role in reducing consumption in a socially sustainable way. They have the potential to overcome key sustainability and service shortcomings of other circular and sharing business models (BMs), but research on LoTs is sparse. Because of this potential, this research aims to improve the understanding of LoT BMs t

Sveriges framtida elsystem står inför en stor omställning, där kärnkraft successivt kommer att fasas ut, samtidigt som det sker en stor utbyggnad av vindkraft. Vindkraftens sjunkande priser, tillsammans med Sveriges mål om ett 100 % förnybart elsystem år 2040, gör det till en attraktiv resurs. En omställning från en leveranstrygg elproduktion baserad på kärnkraft, till en mer variabel med vindkrafSweden's future electricity system is facing a transformation, where nuclear power will gradually be phased out, while there is a large expansion of wind power. The declining wind power prices, together with Sweden's goal of a 100% renewable electricity system in 2040, makes it an attractive resource. However, a change from a secure supply of energy from nuclear production, to a more varia

Background and objective The Scania Accelerated Intermittent Theta-burst Implementation Study (SATIS) aimed to investigate the tolerability, preliminary effectiveness, and practical feasibility of an accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aTBS) protocol in treating depression. Methods We used an open-label observational design, recruiting 20 patients (aged 19–84 years) from two public b

Recovery time, referring to the duration that an ecosystem needs to return to its pre-drought condition, is a fundamental indicator of ecological resilience. Recently, flash droughts – characterised by rapid onset and development – have gained increasing attention. Nevertheless, the spatiotemporal patterns in gross primary productivity (GPP) recovery time and the factors influencing it remain larg

INTRODUCTION: Intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is the most serious complication in infants and children with severe congenital bleeding disorders causing substantial mortality and long-term neurological morbidity. The neonatal period carries the highest risk, particularly in severe haemophilia and rare factor deficiencies. We review the epidemiology, risk factors, prevention, recognition, management

Background Severe exacerbations (SevEx), the typical endpoint when evaluating asthma therapies, may provide incomplete assessment, as it relies on patient perception of disease and physician action. CompEx, a composite outcome that includes SevEx and acute worsening events (AWEs) (evaluated from e-diary entries using deterioration in peak expiratory flow (PEF), reliever medication use and worsenin

A causal inference framework was developed to investigate crop responses to agricultural drought by integrating meteorological data, Sentinel-2-derived data, and soil property maps. To account for crop rotation, soil, and topographical variables, propensity score matching was employed to estimate drought-induced yield losses at the field level for selected periods. The Plant Phenology Index (PPI)

The inclusion of the knowledge and perspectives of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) in global sciencepolicy processes are increasingly being mandated. This is indicative of the recognition of their expertise and worldviews to inform social and ecological decisions. The IPBES Values Assessment (VA) explicitly highlighted the necessity for a nuanced engagement of different actors whil

Losses and damages are residual impacts of climate change that occur despite mitigation and adaptation actions. Losses and damages are borderless, albeit experienced differently between and within countries. Although Australia is a high-income country, recent losses and damages have been particularly severe. Over the last eight years, farmers in East Gippsland, Victoria, have been severely affecte

Sports-related concussions (SRCs) typically occur when the brain is hyperthermic. Acute head-and-neck cooling should, therefore, reduce the brain's metabolic demands, with the potential to improve recovery following an SRC. Elite ice hockey players who underwent head-and-neck cooling after sustaining a concussion (SRC) showed reduced return-to-play times, although further investigation is warrante

The digitalisation of adolescents’ everyday lives has created new contexts in which intimate partner violence can occur. Digital intimate partner violence includes controlling, monitoring, and harassing behaviours carried out through digital tools such as social media, messaging applications, and location-sharing services. These behaviours are often normalised among young people, which makes the v

Despite the anticipated benefits of smart home technology (SHT) to support older adults' engagement in meaningful activities, barriers to the adoption of SHT have been identified. While research in the field of technology is surging, research on older adults playing an active role in designing and developing SHT to enhance usability is lacking. It is important to co-develop solutions to place olde

Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the small intestine (siNET) are slow-growing malignancies often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Despite their indolent nature, patients frequently experience significant symptoms, including carcinoid syndrome (CS) with diarrhoea, which impact their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis investigates the determinants of HRQoL in siNET patients, its prog

BACKGROUND: Serious illness communication is a key element of high-quality care, but it is difficult to implement in practice. The Serious Illness Care Program (SICP) is a multifaceted intervention that contributes to more, earlier, and better serious illness conversations and improved patient outcomes. This qualitative study examined the organizational and implementation factors that influenced i

The ability of people to act on their knowledge of their surrounding physical environments before, in response to, and after impactful climate-related hazards is shaped by broader environmental and socio-economic conditions. We present a multiple case study that illustrates how people from both non-Indigenous and Indigenous communities living in remote areas in the Nordic countries maintain and ad

Implementation of Bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) measurements and probabilistic approaches in bridge assessment may reveal hidden bridge reserves and changes in reliability levels over their projected service life, providing a key input for optimized bridge management. But, as scientists and engineers and at the same time vendors of our own ideas, we need to be in position to present the results o

Promoting young children's health through health promotion activities is an investment for the future. In the Child Health Services in the south of Sweden a structured Child-Centred Health Dialogue (CCHD) directed to all 4-year-old children was developed using illustrations based on the most important health messages associated with the promotion of healthy lifestyle in preschool children. The aim
