Problemet med förfalskade läkemedel är stort globalt. Patienter med svårbedömdasymtom kan ha biverkningar av sådana. Läkare behöver vara mer medvetna om förekomsten av förfalskade läkemedel, och veta hur de ska handskas med problemet.
A comparison of social impact categorisation in strategic planning across European Union Member States shows that Sweden neither categorises nor breaks down categories of social impact in areas such as transport infrastructure development. This is surprising because Sweden is known as a country concerned about social issues and having a high standard of welfare. This article accordingly studies ho
Buried waste in old landfills is an increasing problem as cities expand and grow into areas with former waste deposits. In order to be able to manage and as far as possible reclaim land in such areas, better tools are needed for mapping and characterisation of buried waste and contaminated land. Other problems associated with landfills are leachate water and methane emissions. In the results prese
Substandard and falsified (SF) medical products are a major danger to public health. They affect every region of the world, and have been identified in all major therapeutic categories. Studies from medicine, pharmacology, law and public health dominate this research area with a focus on the supply side. However, the spread of SF medical products cannot be fully understood without information abou
Most pastoralists’ in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) are adversely affected by climate-change related shocks such as droughts and livestock diseases. These shocks lead to deterioration of livestock quality and even mass death of herds. This leaves pastoralists vulnerable as they derive most of their food and income needs from livestock, necessitating emergency disaster response and the need to build the
The general aim of the research programme SPEAK (Sustainable Planning andEnvironmental Assessment Knowledge, www.speakproject.se) was to generateknowledge on, and to strengthen the role of strategic environmental assessment(SEA) in planning as a measure to attain the environmental quality objectives andto promote sustainable development. The SPEAK programme had atransdisciplinary point of departur
Mellan 1918 och 1922 infördes allmän och lika rösträtt i Sverige. När riksdagen inleder sitt hundraårsfirande av rösträtten i december 2018 utkommer denna populärvetenskapliga forskarantologi med texter av statsvetare, historiker, ekonomhistoriker, medieforskare, genusvetare och konstvetare. I tre delar, om bakgrunden, utvecklingen under 1900-talet och framtiden, berättar författarna om processern
This study confronted the classical idea that generalized prejudice is rooted in a cognitive tendency to sort reality into rigid and simple categories with the more recent idea that prejudice is shaped by moral intuitions. In a diverse Swedish sample (N = 430), moral absolutism was more strongly associated with generalized prejudice against derogated and dissident (but not dangerous) groups than w
Psychological research on personal worldviews has relied almost exclusively on a quantitative approach that is ill-equipped to fully capture human subjectivity. Using Q-methodology, this study revealed the multiplicity of meanings and internal structures of the worldviews of eighty Swedish adults across the domains of metaphysics, epistemology, human nature, morality, and values. Four coherent wor
This research systematically mapped the relationship between political ideology and receptivity to pseudo-profound bullshit—that is, obscure sentences constructed to impress others rather than convey truth. Among Swedish adults (N = 985), bullshit receptivity was (a) robustly positively associated with socially conservative (vs. liberal) self-placement, resistance to change, and particularly bindi
En forskare som arbetar i fält kommer inte undan frågeställningar som den praktiknära forskningen genererar. Riter följer inte alltid klockrent den föreskrivna liturgin. Gamla traditioner blandas upp med nya inslag där samhällsförändringar, modernitet och kultur tillsammans regisserar den performance som för tillfället spelas upp av deltagarna. Makt kan befästas eller kullkastas, eller så kan delt
A typical polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) flow field consists of micro/minichannels. The continues removal of liquid water from the cathode channels is a critical topic, as water droplets forming in the channels may block the transport of gaseous oxygen to the active sites, which not only gives an uneven current distribution and substantial loss of performance, but also, increases degradation
In this paper, two distinct polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack models are constructed: a detailed numerical model (DNM) employing a fine-scale computational mesh and a coarse-mesh approach based on a distributed resistance analogy (DRA) where diffusion terms in the transport equations are replaced by rate terms. Both methods are applied to a 5-cell, high-temperature polymer electrolyte fuel cell
