This study investigated: (a) the cost and change in hospitalizations related to alcohol misuse for the healthcare sector and (b) the effect of distance to the border on alcohol-related hospitalization costs. The first objective was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the second using ordinary least squares regression on aggregated municipality data. The total cost decreased marginally during

In a geographically defined child population aged 0-15, every twelfth child suffered from chronic illness. Their parents and randomly selected control children's parents were asked about their living conditions using questionnaires. Non-responders (30%) had the same sociodemographic profile as responders. The socioeconomic level in index families (n = 95) was lower than in control families (n = 16

We analyse recent experiments on momentum shearing interferometry of electron wave packets^1,2 by using an optical analogy with shearing interferometry for optical waves. This analogy offers a convenient point of view to discuss the capabilities and difficulties of this technique used to access the phase of electron wave packets.

Two systems for measurements of absorption and scattering properties, based on picosecond-pulse lasers and single-photon counting detection, were characterized using a detailed protocol. The first system utilizes diode lasers at 660, 785, 910 and 974 nm as light sources. The second employs a Ti:sapphire and a mode-locked dye laser to produce tunable pulses in the range 610 - 1000 nm. Using solid t

Ända sedan tidernas begynnelse har människor funderat på frågor kring den värld vi lever i och dess ursprung. Förklaringarna har varit många, olika och har ofta varit förknippade med religiösa trosuppfattningar. Idag är den rådande vetenskapliga konsensusen att vårt universum skapades för cirka 14 miljarder år sedan i det så kallade Big Bang, eller 'Den Stora Smällen' på svenska. Enligt deIn this report, the elliptic flow in high centrality Pb-Pb collisions is calculated using two particle correlations $v_2\{2\}$ but without any imposed separation in η with data taken from the ALICE experiment at CERN in 2015. Instead, measurements of the same correlations in proton-proton collisions is used as a background to account for non-flow effects and data is correlated between the time pro

This thesis examines how learning is depicted in policy documents for public libraries on municipal and national level in Sweden. The documents analyzed are library plans from five Swedish cities, as well as the proposal for a national strategy presented in 2019 by the National Library of Sweden. The method used is Carol Bacchi’s What’s the problem represented to be-approach. Pierre Bourdieu’s the

Att arbeta hemifrån har de senaste åren blivit allt vanligare. Inför framtiden spås att den fysiska, ordinarie arbetsplatsen kommer att bli än mindre viktig och att fler kommer att vilja arbeta på distans helt eller delvis. Ett reviderat EU-direktiv ger dessutom småbarnsföräldrar och anhörigvårdare möjlighet att begära att få arbeta på distans av omsorgsskäl. Arbetsmarknadens parter har sedan längIn recent years working from home has become much more prevalent. It is predicted that the physical, regular workplace will become even less important in the future and that more people will want to work remotely in whole or in part. A revised EU directive gives parents of young children and carers the opportunity to request to work remotely for care reasons. Early on, Sweden’s labour market partn

Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid. KoldioThis study’s purpose was to try and study whether Carbon Dioxide in indoor environments (schools and offices) affect performance and health in students and office workers in terms of mental effects and Sick Building Syndrome. This study was executed as a literary study where eight different scientific articles were analysed and compared to see if their results are comparable with each other and sh

Factoring has become more and more important for businesses during the recent years. However, for VAT purposes the treatment of factoring remains unclear. Factoring is not mentioned in the VAT Directive but connected to the term ‘debt collection’ in Article 132 (1) (d) of the VAT Directive which will be described in the thesis. The first issue is to analyse the characteristics of factoring servic

Aim: To compare treatment costs with alternative luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist preparations and determine whether a leuprorelin solid implant is associated with potential cost savings. Patients & methods: A hypothetical population of 1000 prostate cancer patients was apportioned between the three most commonly-prescribed LHRH agonist preparations. Differentiated annual c

Background: Family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity are likely to benefit from utilising case management services performed by case managers. However, research has not yet explored their experiences of case managers. Objectives: The aim of the study was to deepen the understanding of the importance of case managers to family members of older persons (75+) with multi-morbidity. D

This chapter ". . . looks at a problem that is an important effect of systemic features: the problems of defining clear boundaries between different types of actors. Richard Langlais and Sharon Rider study the boundary between research performed by public universities and companies basing their technology on scientific research. They use the concept "science machines" to depict those systems of so

Many scholars and philosophers inspired by Antiquity, have commented upon a transformation of lived religion and a changing picture and technology of the Self during Late Antiquity. The Nag Hammadi Library contains a diverse body of thought and it is here argued that these texts are found in the epicentre of Late Antique conversion of religion and Self, containing important illustrations of new em

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tre av huvudets blodkärlsregioner - hjärnans, den h rda hjärnhinnans och tinningens puls dror, har undersökts med avseende p förekomst av nerver inneh llande signalsubstanser som kallas neuropeptider. Tv av dessa är substans P (SP) och kalcitonin gen-relaterad peptid (CGRP) vilka finns i nerver som förmedlar känselupplevelser, till exempel smärta. Andra är neuropeptid YThe sensory neuropeptides substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are present in human cerebral, meningeal and temporal arteries, as are peptides associated with the sympathetic (neuropeptide Y, NPY) and parasympathetic (vasoactive intestinal peptide, VIP) nervous system. NPY is a vasoconstrictor in cerebral and meningeal arteries and potentiates noradrenaline (NA) as a vasocon
