Research has been done on children’s participation in review meetings, a method for reviewing foster and residential care. The method is tested within the national project Children’s Needs in Focus (BBIC) inspired by the British Integrated Children’s System and operated by the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) in Sweden. The objective of the evaluation, conducted on behalf of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prioriteringar av olika slag har alltid genomförts inom hälso- och sjukvård, vilket har inneburit att vissa verksamheter och patienter har prioriterats och andra har valts bort. Tidigare studier som har varit fokuserade på allmänhetens syn på vem eller vilka som ska prioriteras, har framförallt varit riktade till yngre och medelålders personer. I dessa studier framkomme

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillgången på energi har varit av stor betydelse för utvecklingen av det det moderna industrisamhället. Samtidigt skapar energianvändningen ett flertal miljöproblem med lokal, regional och global utbredning. Syftet med denna avhandling är att studera olika strategier för att minska miljöpåverkan från det svenska energisystemet och bedöma strategiernas tekniska och ekonoEnergy use accounts for the dominating fraction of total sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. In this thesis, different strategies for reducing these emissions are evaluated, using a bottom-up approach. The thesis is divided in two parts. Part I (two articles) deals with how energy efficiency improvements and the increas

A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood (d a parts per thousand currency signaEuro parts per thousand 15 pc) with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-mass planets within their Habitable Zones out to several AUs would be a major milestone in extrasolar planets astrophysics. This fundamental goal can be achieved w

Wind damage to forests can be divided into (1) the direct damage done to the forest and (2) indirect effects. Indirect effects may be of different kinds and may affect the environ- ment as well as society. For example, falling trees can lead to power and telecommunica- tion failures or blocking of roads. The salvage harvest of fallen trees is another example and one that involves extremely dangero

Nature-based tourism in the fragile Arctic environments is emerging as a major environmental concern, mainly due to extreme seasonality in these locations, the lack of suitable infrastructures and planning, and its interference with fragile ecosystems. In Iceland tourism has increased exponentially during the past decades, causing more environmental impacts on the country's natural recourses. Hiki

The background of this study is my doctoral thesis in Sociology of Law “Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime” (2012). After about ten years, I decided to make a replication based on the same method as in the original study presented in 2012. The general findings from the replication study are presented in the report “Violation and SatisfCompensation for Victims of Sexual Violence in Sweden: Some Empirical Findings from a Socio-Legal PerspectiveKarl Dahlstrand, PhD, lecturer at Sociology of Law Department, Lund University, Sweden.The background of this study is my doctoral thesis in Sociology of Law “Violation and Satisfaction: A Sociology of Law Study of Non-Pecuniary Damages to Victims of Crime” (2012).

Background: Studies show that early, integrated palliative care (PC) improves quality of life (QoL) and end-of-life (EoL) care for patients with poor-prognosis cancers. However, the optimal strategy for delivering PC for those with advanced cancers who have longer disease trajectories, such as metastatic breast cancer (MBC), remains unknown. We tested the effect of a PC intervention on the documen

Background: Over the past decade, several PET tracers were developed to visualise and quantify tau pathology in vivo. However, all these tracers have distinct off-target binding, different dynamic ranges and likely different levels of non-specific binding resulting in large variability in semiquantification. We propose to standardise the sampling and the quantification across all available tau tra

This article focuses on the negotiated distinction between commercial and non-commercial spheres of life through the phenomenon of lifestyle entrepreneurship. Lifestyle entrepreneurship is a concept used for a form of self-employment, based on the business owner´s own hobby or lifestyle. The article is based on a study of lifestyle enterprising in the tourism and hospitality industries in southern

BackgroundElbow strength ratios in relation to performance level, in male and female climbers, are scarcely documented. The aim of this study was to investigate elbow muscle strength, strength ratio and hand grip strength in climbers and its potential relationship to performance level.HypothesisWe hypothesized that there is a relationship between performance level and various strength variables an

Arbetet omfattar uppföljningav ställda kriterier förlåg klimatpåverkan från betong vid upphandling av betongstommeför brf. Viva i Göteborg. Kriterierna följdes upp dels genom att LCA studien som genomförtsunder programskedet uppdaterades med data för den färdigupphandlade byggnadenoch dels genom att interljuva ett urval av aktörer för att få en inblick över hur branschen ser på de ställda kraven. This work includes monitoring of set criteria for low climate impact from concrete in procurement of concrete structures for brf. Viva in Gothenburg. The criteria were followed up by updating the LCA study performed during the program phase with new data for the completed building, plus a selection of the project stakeholders were also interviewed to gain an insight into how the industry received

Objective To assess the intervention fidelity and explore contextual factors affecting the process of implementing a mobile phone text messaging intervention in improving adherence to and retention in care among adolescents living with HIV, their families and their healthcare providers in southern Ethiopia. Design A convergent mixed-methods design guided by the process evaluation theoretical frame

Förebyggande av oönskade graviditeter och sexuellt överförbara infektioner (vad jag kallar "contracepting") behandlas ofta som ett medicinskt eller hälsovårds- problem snarare än en social fråga. Till följd av detta, förblir mycket av det vardagliga arbetet som preventivmetoder innefattar osynligt. Unga människor i synnerlighet talas oftare om än med när det kommer till deras användning av preventContraception is a complex phenomenon with differing meanings, expressions, and materialities depending on its historical, social, and cultural context. In this thesis, I depart from the conceptualisation of contraception as the prevention of both pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and I name these practices through the collective term of contracepting.

Background: Given the national shortage of palliative care specialists relative to the need for their services, engaging nonspecialists is important to ensure patients with serious illness have an opportunity to share their goals and values with their providers. Hospital medicine clinicians are well positioned to conduct these conversations given they care for many medically complex patients. Yet,

Precarious employment (PE) has been linked to adverse health effects, possibly mediated through psychosocial hazards. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore if higher levels of PE are associated with psychosocial hazards (experiences of violence, sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination, high demands, and low control) and to explore gender differences in these patterns. The study i

The script we are presenting below is one of four different scenarios from Violence & Learning by Henrik Bromander and John Hanse, which was performed at the International Brecht Society’s Symposium in Oxford in June 2016. The learning play Violence & Learning has been developed and performed in the context of left-wing activism in Sweden. The different variants of the play have partly bee

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) fragments have become the formats of choice for both biopharmaceuticals and ligands in analytical and preparative applications. Their smaller size enables additional advantages over full-length mAbs, such as improved tissue penetration, faster blood clearance for diagnostic applications, improved capacity, and enablement of multivalent formatting.
