Centrala punkter från kapitlet:- Otrygga platser präglas i vissa fall av höga nivåer av brott och av både låga och höga nivåer av fattigdom.- Social oordning innebär ofta att människor uppfattas som störande, obehagliga eller farliga, vilket är en vanlig orsak till att platser uppfattas som otrygga.- Otrygga platser verkar kunna delas in i några återkommande typmiljöer: det centrala torget, parkeKey Points from the Chapter- Places perceived as unsafe are sometimes characterized by high levels of crime, sometimes by low levels of crime, and at times by high levels of poverty, while in other cases poverty levels are low.- Social disorder, including the presence of individuals perceived as disruptive, intimidating, or dangerous, is a common factor contributing to perceptions of unsafety.- Un

Centrala punkter från kapitlet:- Ett effektivt trygghetsfrämjande arbete kräver att åtgärder riktas i rätt tid,vid rätt plats och till rätt målgrupp.- Effekter av trygghetsfrämjande insatser kan vara komplexa och svåra attmäta.- Tydliga principer och strukturer möjliggör uppföljning och utvärdering avtrygghetsfrämjande insatser.- Kombinationen av statistiska och geografiska analyser ger en bra grKey Points from the Chapter- Effective community safety work requires interventions to be targeted at the right time, in the right place, and toward the right target group.- The effects of community safety initiatives can be complex and difficult to measure.- Clear principles and organizational structures facilitate the monitoring and evaluation of community safety efforts.- The combination of sta

Mental disorders are a major global health challenge, exacerbated by a narrow range of effective treatments and inadequate responses. The discovery of novel drug targets is necessary. We leveraged genome-wide association study summary statistics for 6 mental disorders (anorexia nervosa (AN), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major depressive di

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the proposal for strengthened criminal-law protection for emergency services and other essential public functions. SWESEM supported the introduction of the offence of sabotage against emergency services and a stricter approach to violence and threats against emergency and healthcare personnel, while raising c

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning proposed amendments to Swedish patient safety legislation. SWESEM supported the proposed changes and particularly welcomed the proposal for a probationary period of up to three years without an upper age limit.

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the Swedish Medical Association's leadership policy. SWESEM welcomed the policy but emphasised the need for continuous and structured leadership training for physicians and a clearer responsibility for employers to provide such training.

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning alert information in medical records relating to blood-borne infections, infectious agents and threats. SWESEM emphasised the importance of such information for both staff and patient safety while acknowledging the potential risk of stigmatisation.

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning the final report on complementary and alternative medicine and care. SWESEM welcomed the proposed legislation, considered the proposals important for patient safety, and supported the final report.

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning national highly specialised care in six areas. SWESEM supported the proposed definitions and number of centres, while emphasising the importance of opportunities for professional development, research and collaboration for healthcare professionals outside the designated national centres.

Consultation response from the Swedish Society for Emergency Medicine (SWESEM) concerning proposed national guidelines for COVID-19. SWESEM supported the proposal overall but raised comments regarding corticosteroid treatment, point-of-care ultrasound, involvement of emergency physicians and general practitioners, paediatric and obstetric care, and the management of COVID-19 in prehospital and eme

The current review summarizes recent advances in slow sand filtration (SSF) for water treatment, with a focus on addressing key gaps identified in recent studies. SSF has progressed beyond traditional biophysical processes through the integration of hybrid systems and advanced materials. The addition of zerovalent iron, graphene oxide, activated carbon, and biocomposites has improved the removal o

Climate models predict widespread precipitation changes across Europe, including more frequent and severe droughts. Drought events can alter soil microbial communities, leading to alterations in soil functioning and further ecosystem services. While long-term drought effects are well studied, short-term droughts during the growing season remain largely unexplored in agricultural soils. Thus, we in

Microplastics are pervasive in inland waters, yet large-scale association patterns of abundance and traits remain unclear. Here we compiled a global lake database integrating surface-water and sediment observations with 56 hydroclimatic and anthropogenic indicators. Most hydroclimatic variables show positive associations with abundance in surface waters but act oppositely in sediments. Leading con

The Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus provides a critical framework for addressing interdependencies among these resources in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where limited water, arid climate, high energy demand, and growing populations pose significant sustainability challenges. Over-exploitation of groundwater in Yemen, energy-dependent desalination in Saudi Arabia, and water stress in Moro

Real-time River flow forecasting is essential for optimal operation of water resources systems, especially reservoir dams. However, due to the high complexity of hydro-climatological events, real-time forecasting is very difficult and often error prone. Therefore, improved methods need to be developed for mid-term prediction models for river flows, especially for inflows to dam reservoirs. For thi

The development of sophisticated and sustainable water treatment systems has become necessary due to the growing contamination of water resources by mercury and other heavy metal ions. This review examines current advances in composite membrane systems, with a special emphasis on polymer-based and functionalized membranes for efficient metal ion removal. Polymer matrix composites, such as polyviny

Since the 1970s, the number of physical Swedish courthouses has decreased substantially. Courts are now situated in the larger cities, servicing greater geographical areas and populations, ultimately increasing remote participation for people without local courthouses. Although video conferencing has been in use since 1995, the implementation of technological tools has failed to fully account for Since the 1970s, the number of physical Swedish courthouses has decreased substantially.

Rural regions encompass a wide variety of contexts, often facing challenges such as population decline and ageing, or limited infrastructure and services. Yet, rural territories can also be unique places for experimentation and serve as sites of transformative, sustainability-oriented development. We contribute with a theoretical perspective on rural transition pathways that connects rural pre-con

AI accelerators improve performance and efficiency for neural networks; evolving them for general-purpose computing requires new hardware, software, and programming models. In this article, we argue for the potential of general-purpose AI computing, highlight some challenges, and present initial results to motivate the feasibility.

School subjects are reflections of society (Sundberg 2021), and in Sweden interest in learning English emerged in the seventeenth century, a consequence of growing mobility on the European continent (Bratt 1977). It was not until 1807 that English was first introduced as a school subject, however. Initially, English was available only at the upper-secondary level. It was an elective subject, and s
