Background: Despite early referral of uraemic patients to nephrological care, suboptimal dialysis initiation (SDI) remains a common problem associated with increased morbimortality. We hypothesized that SDI is related to pre-dialysis care.Methods: In the 'Peridialysis' study, time and reasons for dialysis initiation (DI), clinical and biochemical data and centre characteristics were registered dur

Denna avhandling undersöker empiriskt hur rätten och andra mekanismer för social kontroll under tvångsförsäljning i Sverige är betingade av skillnader i social status.

The thesis draws upon American sociologist Donald Black’s theoretical framework on social control to explain this social contingency. According to Black, variations in social control responses are explained and predicted by variations in the

The effects of climate change, whether they be via slow- or rapid-onset events such as extreme events, are inflicting devastating losses and damage on communities around the world, with the most vulnerable affected the most. Although the negative impacts of climate change and the concept of loss and damage are included in international conventions, such as the United Nations Warsaw International M

We conducted a network analysis of measures of dissociation and posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) with a varied sample of adolescents (N = 312), some of them previously exposed to war scenarios. The global measure of dissociation (A-DES) was uniquely linked to the arousal PTS symptom cluster (CRIES-13), in particular sleep problems, but not to the reexperiencing and avoidance clusters. Three of four (i

This study indicates valuable contributions of narrative criticism and rhetorical criticism. Together with the traditional historical-critical approach, these methods can help us toward an interpretation that lets us better understand the purpose and the function of the gospel-story.

Pragmadialektiikan maailmanvalloitus alkoi kaksikymmentäviisi vuotta sitten. Tänään se on yhtä tunnettu kuin jo viisikymmentä vuotta täyttäneet Toulminin ja Perelmanin uraauurtavat argumentaation teoriat. Arviot pragmadialektiikasta kuitenkin vaihtelevat huomattavan paljon.

Nälkäteatterin esittämät historialliset puheet herättivät historian eloon, joskin retorista hetkeä – kairosta – on mahdotonta luoda uudelleen. Hyvällä mielikuvituksella pystyi kuitenkin kuvittelemaan olevansa mukana muun muassa P
