Hur kan vi förstå behandling av skador och sjukdom under medeltiden?

It is a common and tenacious understanding that the best treatments of the ill during the Middle Ages in Sweden was offered in the monasteries. In this article, this view is problematised. By introducing the anthropological concept of medical cultures, the author suggests an understanding of Middle Age leach craft and medicine as a complex web of several co-existing medical cultures. Three major m

Using statistical analysis and pollution indices to characterize metal pollution in volcanic and calcareous soils in semi-arid regions

The main objective of this study was to evaluate heavy metal contamination in volcanic and calcareous soils within Morocco’s semi-arid regions, focusing on the relationship between unique soil types and contamination dynamics. Using geographic information systems (GIS), statistical analyses, and several pollution indices, including the geoaccumulation index (Igeo), enrichment factor (EF), contamin

Does the Association Between Individual Crime Propensity and Child-to-Parent Violence Vary by Family Social Environment?

This study examines whether individual propensity to commit crime and family environment interact in their association with child-to-parent violence (CPV). We assume that individual propensity will be more strongly associated with CPV among those adolescents who are less attached to and controlled by their parents. The study has a cross-sectional design of 4,930 adolescents (age 16 years on averag

Ethnicity and Child-to-Parent Violence : Comparing Adolescents With an Ethnic Swedish Background and a Background in Muslim Countries

Studies show that child-to-parent violence (CPV) occurs in many families, but the impact of ethnicity on CPV is largely unknown. This cross-sectional study examines whether there are differences in CPV between ethnic Swedish adolescents and adolescents with a background in Muslim countries, both first and second generation. The study is based on a stratified sample of 4222 adolescents and young ad

Peacekeeping or Expeditionism : Identity and Ethics Among Canadian Army Drone Operators

Small and middle states such as Canada have been integrating drones into their militaries for over 20 years, but their drone use has been understudied. Delving into the data from interviews with 33 army drone operators, this paper proposes two arguments about how drone operators negotiate their identity-based reflections on their roles. First, the paper argues that drone operators in the Canadian

A lung function threshold for survival? - FEV1Q and mortality in patients with COPD and chronic respiratory failure

INTRODUCTION: The FEV1 quotient (FEV1Q), calculated as the index between FEV1 and a theoretical lower survivable FEV1 threshold of 0.4L for females and 0.5L for males, has been investigated as a novel method of interpreting results from lung function testing. The applicability of the FEV1Q in populations with chronic respiratory failure has not been studied, and the continuous association between
