Enligt WHO är mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot kvinnors hälsa. Medan det finns många aspekter att ha i åtanke i analysen av detta, kvarstår faktumet att det är i hemmet som våldet sker. Varför är det så? Många arkitekter och teoretiker har länge konstaterat hur våra städer är byggda olika väl för olika typer av kroppar, där möjligtvis vissa kroppar stöttas According to the WHO, domestic violence is one of the most dangerous threats to women’s health. Whilst there are more things to consider, truth is that the home is where all of this violent behaviour takes the stage. Why is that? Many architects and theorists have long made out that our cities are differently well-built for different kinds of bodies, where some are possibly better supported than o

A well-ordered surface oxide grown on Fe(110) has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low energy electron diffraction, low energy electron microscopy, and core level photoelectron spectroscopy. The iron oxide film exhibits wide terraces and is formed after exposure to 100-1000 L at 1 x 10(-6) mbar O-2 and 400 degrees C. Two domains, mirror symmetric in the Fe(110)-lattice mirro

Background: In previous meta-analyses, tea consumption has been associated with lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. It is unclear, however, if tea is associated inversely over the entire range of intake. Therefore, we investigated the association between tea consumption and incidence of type 2 diabetes in a European population. Methodology/Principal Findings: The EPIC-InterAct case-cohort study wa

Background Rye products have been demonstrated to lower the acute insulin demand, induce a low and prolonged blood glucose response (high Glycemic Profile, GP) and reduce subclinical inflammation. These products may therefore contribute to a lowered risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardio vascular disease. The objective of the present paper was to evaluate the mechanism for a reduced postprand

Several studies have shown excess risk for a number of comorbidities in patients with psoriasis compared with the general population, but data on cause-specific mortality in this patient population are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the associations of psoriasis and 12 specific causes of death and all-cause mortality in patients with mild and severe psoriasis. The study was based o

In this thesis, I critically scrutinize the data-driven policing tool POL-INTEL, which was implemented in the Danish police in 2017. To better understand how we are governed and policed through POL-INTEL I look at the problematisations and forms of subjectifications constituted in the policies to acquire and implement the system in the police and through the technology of POL-INTEL itself. For thi

En domstol är skyldig att genom s.k. materiell processledning verka för att ett mål blir tillräckligt utrett. Kravet gäller under hela rättegången och i alla instanser. Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att fastställa hur långtgående materiell processledning i dispositiva tvistemål bör vara och vilka omständigheter som bör spela in när omfattningen av sådan processledning i enskilda fall bestäms. D

Popular science summary: Healing: what we can learn from white mice Stem cells are a cell type responsible for building the body. They are the ancestor cells from which all the cells making up the body’s tissues are created. Stem cells play an important role in maintaining the body in shape by repairing damages as they occur during life. We believe that if we had a better understanding of how t

In the present work, the formation of complex coacervate micelles and aggregates of the oppositely charged diblock copolymers poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)27-b-poly((3-acrylamidopropyl)trimethylammoniumchloride)15 [PNIPAAM27-b-PAMPTMA15(+)] and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)27-b-poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic sodium)15 [PNIPAAM27-b-PAMPS15(-)] in aqueous solution have been studied at diff

Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th

In Sweden, the tramway was introduced in the late 19th century as horse tramways. Entrepreneurs around the country saw advantages of the new mean of transport which, due to low frictional resistance could transport a large amount of passengers with low traction force. In the beginning of the 20th century the horses were replaced by electric motors and the tramway spread to more cities. The entry o

The aim of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between depression and memory performance, hypothesizing a decrease in performance among participants with depression tendencies. The cognitive memory task of pattern separation was tested with four different levels of difficulty by use of a computerized memory test and the self-rating MADRS-S depression scale was used to assess the

The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about leadership style and its relation to coworker's wellbeing. Of special interest was to find the best predictor variable of wellbeing. A further aim was to study differences between males and females in organizational commitment and wellbeing. A questionnaire was distributed to 100 employees in Telia, a Swedish telecom company. 62 questionnaires

Det centrala för denna uppsats är att ur ett borgenärsinriktat perspektiv utreda två alternativ för rekonstruktion av företag; företagsrekonstruktion genom FrekL och rekonstruktion genom konkurs. FrekL är en tämligen ny lag i den svenska insolvensrätten. Tidigare rekonstruktioner av företag skedde så gott som alltid genom konkurs, även om AckL fanns som alternativ. FrekL var bland annat tänkt likThe main issue in this essay is from a creditors perspective. Analysis will cover two alternatives for the reorganization of companies: First, the Swedish correspondence, “FrekL,” to the American Chapter 11 and, second, reorganization through bankruptcy. FrekL is a fairly new law within the Swedish insolvency law. Earlier reorganization of companies were almost always made through bankruptcy, ev

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how university students experience stress and how they described that the stress affected their academic performance and health. Furthermore, what kind of coping strategies the students used to manage their stress and due to that how well they worked. This was examined through the experiences of four university students at different colleges in Skån

The eminent dilemma around the relationship between the increasing world population, the need of new fuel sources and environment issues has raised great awareness in the last decades. The European Parliament has set common goals such as the reduction of the greenhouse gases by 20 % by the year of 2020, followed by the requirement of at least 10 % of the fuel has to be biofuel. An adjacent issue i

We explore time-resolved Coulomb explosion induced by intense, extreme ultraviolet (XUV) femtosecond pulses from a free-electron laser as a method to image photo-induced molecular dynamics in two molecules, iodomethane and 2,6-difluoroiodobenzene. At an excitation wavelength of 267 nm, the dominant reaction pathway in both molecules is neutral dissociation via cleavage of the carbon-iodine bond. T

It is increasingly acknowledged that climate change is influencing terrestrial ecosystems by increased drought and rainfall intensities. Soil microbes are key drivers of many processes in terrestrial systems and rely on water in soil pores to fulfill their life cycles and functions. However, little is known on how drought and rainfall fluctuations, which affect the composition and structure of mic

BACKGROUND: Defensive coping (DefS) was associated with a vulnerable cardiovascular profile in Blacks. The copeptin/vasopressin system is a manifestation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis activity and may act as an acute compensatory mechanism when there is a disruption in volume-loading homeostasis, i.e. when cardiac stress is evident. Whether DefS will influence associations between copepti
