Aim. The aim of this study is to examine associations between caregiver burden, perceived health and sense of coherence in family caregivers to persons with dementia living at home. Background. Most of the studies on family caregivers have focused on burden and morbidity. However, the caregiver's sense of coherence and perceived health have not been studied earlier in relation to caregiver burden.
Down-core sediment pigment concentrations from four Northern European estuaries were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to investigate phytoplankton community structure and preservation conditions over the last ca. 100 years where all sites have experienced different levels of eutrophication. Phytoplankton pigments have been shown to be useful biomarkers for phytoplankton
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the level and factors associated with caregivers’ disclosure of perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV+) children’s seropositive status.Design We conducted a cross-sectional study in five public health facilities providing HIV treatment and care in Dire Dawa and Harar, Eastern Ethiopia.

Background: Process evaluations are an important component in the interpretation and understanding of outcomes in trials. The Online Remote Behavioural Intervention for Tics (ORBIT) study is a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of an Internet-delivered behavioural intervention (called BIP TIC) compared to an Internet-delivered education programme aimed at children and young p
INTRODUCTION: Resilient health systems have the capacity to continue providing health services to meet the community's diverse health needs following floods. This capacity is related to how the community manages its own health needs and the community and health system's joined capacities for resilience. Yet little is known about how community participation influences health systems resilience. The
Cognitive impairments (CI), associated with the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, are increasingly prevalent among older adults, leading to deterioration in self-care, mobility, and interpersonal relationships among them. Innovative Assistive Technologies (IAT) such as electronic reminders and surveillance systems are considered as increasingly important tools to facilitate
Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in med
“Fråga mig inte var jag kommer ifrån, fråga mig var jag känner mig hemma”. Citatet är hämtat från en TED presentation av Taiye Selasi som handlar om att vissa människor känner sig hemma på flera ställen i världen samtidigt. Inte nödvändigtvis där de kommer från. I min forskning fokuserar jag på affärsmodeller för solenergi som sprids till och etableras på nya marknader. En affärsmodell är en abstrHow business models are configured can provide one solution to bringing forward sustainable innovations and transforming businesses and industries so that they become more sustainable. Creating a shift in the energy sector’s use of renewable sources is of particular importance since the energy sector is the source of one-fourth of all global greenhouse gas emissions. In California, the dominant bu
Aims: To compare outcomes of glucagon-stimulated C-peptide tests (GSCTs) in people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) after a 21-month intervention with either insulin or the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor sitagliptin. Research design and methods: We included 64 glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody-positive individuals, who were diagnosed with diabetes <3 years before the stu
There is a growing interest within place branding research for how experiences of safety influence the image of the city (e.g. Coaffee and Van Ham, 2008).Previous research demonstrates that fear is socially constructed and amplified by mass media (Avraham and Ketter, 2008) and social media (Doosti et al., 2016; Jansson, 2018). The realm of media has become more complex in an era characterised as p
Ninety-nine per cent of all parents visit child healthcare centres (CHCs) andall parents in Sweden are invited to parental groups organized by the childhealth service (CHS) during their child’s first year, but only 40% choose toattend. The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate the group-based earlyparental support provided by the Swedish CHS from the perspective of CHCnurses and parents. A t
European rivers experience increased loading of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, little is known about how increased TOC is linked to changes in the bioreactivity of organic matter in these rivers on a continental scale. We compiled paired measurements of TOC and biological oxygen demand in 5‐day 20
The process of transforming the industrial economy into a society largely based on the production and dissemination of information and knowledge has widespread implications for cities and regions as well as organisations and individuals. And while the economy is increasingly global, the differences in economic development between cities and regions will not necessarily disappear. Indeed, the diver
Globalisering av ekonomin, människors rörelser över nationsgränser såväl som ett ökat fokus på gränskontroller och säkerhet, har utmanat och delvis destabiliserat idéer om nationell tillhörighet och solidaritet. En sådan utveckling bidrar till att nya gränser skapas, den separerar medborgare från icke-medborgare och skapar hierarkier av “värdiga”/”icke-värdiga”. Denna avhandling bidrar till analysGlobalisation of the economy, as well as movement of people and increasing securitisation of borders, have challenged and to different degrees destabilised forms of national belonging and solidarity. Such developments produce new borders and boundaries, separate citizens from non-citizens and create hierarchies of “deservingness”. This dissertation contributes to the analysis of these developments
Purpose: Since limited efforts have been made when trying to understand and identify what managers do when managing the supply chain, the purpose of this research is to move towards a better understanding of Supply Chain Manager’s practices. By using different methods than previously conducted research, a practice-based approach is going to be used when trying to answer, identify and to zoom in on

The European daylight standard EN 17037 was first introduced in 2018 with the aim of encouraging building designers to evaluate and ensure adequate daylight provision in buildings. However, experience has shown that the standard’s criteria are generally perceived to be too challenging to achieve. Therefore, to suggest a more balanced threshold, this master’s thesis aims to investigate compliance r
The aim of the study at had was to explore the potential of Natural Capital Accounting (NCA) to integrate environment into business decision-making. In order to fulfill the aim, the research was split into three main parts. First, the existing views on what constitutes NCA were reviewed through a literature analysis of grey literature, and the working definition established. The study found that t
