In recent years extreme value distributions have attracted a fair amount of attention in literature for risk assessment based on climate data. This thesis focuses on modeling a series of rainfall data over 58 years in the period 1954-2012 recorded at five different stations in Bangladesh. Inference on the extreme rainfall is essential for making the necessary steps to reduce damage caused by natur
In the quest for a better future some unemployed EU-citizens travel to Sweden. Finding a job is difficult and many are instead making a living begging. Cars, tunnels, parks and other shady places of our society become temporary homes. The authorities demolish some of these “camps” and the residents are accused for stealing bicycles, dogs and garden gnomes. Rumours and myths start to grow. In Swed
With increasing frequency we hear calls from activists and academics alike to tackle the structural roots of the current global social-ecological crisis. For those of us situated within academia, this provides an opportunity to critically examine how underlying processes related to the roots of this crisis manifest in and are perpetuated by our own institutions, and how to make academic programs w
Until rather recently, safety from a traffic perspective has almost exclusively been described by accident statistic which in itself does not reveal the true safety issues. For this reason the use of traffic safety indicators has become more frequently used as a complement to describe the traffic safety situation. This thesis treats the behavioral differences of Norwegian and Danish cyclists from
Since the Chinese economy’s reform in 1980, it has been attracting enormous foreign investments. Many Swedish firms from different sectors such as technology, manufactory production, consumer, service industries and so on, had started their investments in China. China has become the first choice for global manufacturing due to the huge market, continuous economic growth, stable political situation

Grundvattenmodellering används ofta av yrkesverksamma hydrogeologer för att ta fram predikt- ioner som ska fungera som underlag i beslutsfattandeprocesser. I Sverige finns det inga lagar som reglerar hur en grundvattenmodell ska utformas, och de kan se väldigt olika ut. Därför har syftet med detta arbete varit att under- söka svenska grundvattenmodeller skapade av industrin i beslutsändamål under Groundwater modeling is often employed by professional hydrogeologists to make predictions to be used by regulators in decision-making. In Sweden, there are no laws governing the way in which a groundwater model may be created or shaped, and therefore they may differ wildly from one another. Thus, the goal of this study has been to research Swedish groundwater models created by the industry during
Sex-based differences in immune responses are a well-established phenomenon, with males generally displaying stronger innate immunity and females exhibiting enhanced adaptive responses. The androgen receptor (AR) is the main effector of androgen-induced changes in the body through genomic transcription and has been implicated as one of the origins of sex-based differences in immunity. This thesis
Purpose: To investigate how revealing the official secrets in different industries influence consumer trust. Methodology: Primary data were collected through a quantitative consumer survey measuring the impact of revealing an official secret on trust. This was complemented by secondary case analyses of Polestar and Kérastase, supported by relevant literature and industry sources to contextualize
Extreme environmental events such as Heat Waves (HWs), cold waves, and droughts intensified by climate change are increasingly associated with adverse health outcomes. In this study, investigation of the extreme temperature across Uttar Pradesh (U. P.), one of India’s largest and densely populate states has been done. Using high-resolution climate data from the Providing REgional Climates for Impa
Aims/hypothesis: Type 1 diabetes develops gradually, and previous exposures may influence incidence. We aimed to assess the geographical variation in type 1 diabetes incidence in Sweden by considering all residential locations from birth to diagnosis in individuals aged 0–30 years, diagnosed between 2005 and 2022. Significant high- and low-risk clusters were identified for different life stage exp
Background: Chimney endovascular aneurysm repair (chEVAR) techniques have been described to manage a group of patients who are unsuitable for either open aortic aneurysm surgery or a variety of standard endovascular repair techniques. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcomes of chEVAR in emergency settings for patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms that have complex mo
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure (HF) is underutilized in primary care, particularly among older adults with chronic stable HF. This prospective quality improvement study, Heart Failure in Southern Sweden (HISS), evaluated the impact of a cross-disciplinary implementation project combining cardiology and primary care expertise to enhance GDMT adheren
BACKGROUND: One key element of lung-protective ventilation is the use of a low tidal volume (VT). A sex difference in use of low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) has been described in critically ill ICU patients.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a sex difference in use of LTVV also exists in operating room patients, and if present what factors drive this difference.DESIGN,
Objective: Degenerative orthopedic diseases (DODs) such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, spondylosis, spinal stenosis, and disc herniation are common disorders. Both common and rare genetic risk factors may contribute to DODs, but few large-scale whole-exome sequencing studies elucidating the contribution of rare variations to DODs have been published. The updated version of the Astra Zeneca porta
Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is essential to monitor changes in the epidemiology of common fractures. Methods Our hospital serves a city in which year 2006 included 276,244 inhabitants (49,664 <17 years of age). Through the hospital archives, we identi
Background: Swedish nationwide family and cancer data offer the largest global resource for study of familial cancer. We focus here on familial risks in prostate cancer (PC) with questions on risk in individuals from families of multiple affected members and association of familial risk with metastatic disease and survival. Methods: Familial relative risk of PC was estimated using standardized inc
