The aim of this thesis was to investigate the relation between tooth size and dental caries in a medieval material from S:t Clemens cemetery in Lund. Dental caries is one of the most common infectious disease in humankind, both in prehistoric and modern populations. Evidence of caries gives the opportunity to study health and diet in populations. During evolution of humankind, there are evidence o

Objective: To describe the short- and long-term outcomes of infants with early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) and umbilical artery absent or reversed end-diastolic flow (AREDF), delivered before 30 weeks' gestation and managed proactively. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of fetuses delivered for fetal indication before 30 completed weeks' gestation that had early-onset FGR (de

This article is based on the creation of sports heritage as having strong roots in the Anthropocene. It particularly discusses listed building declarations of the built heritage of sport, from a Swedish perspective, as well as the feelings of nostalgia associated with such activities. Two contemporary examples of preserved sports heritage sites, Hindås Ski Jumping Hill in Hindås and the stand at V

Laser Activated Electronics Transistors are often considered the most revolutionary electrical devices of this century, attributed as the building block of all modern technology. It is these tiny devices that control the flow of electrons in all your electronics. In your computer alone, there are hundreds of millions of these transistors, all working together in a complex circuit. Previously, impr

Through the development of cross-border cooperation within the European Union, social policy has become an issue for regional policy development. While primarily being a part of national politics, today social policy is influenced by European institutions and regional actors. In this essay I examine how social policy is integrated in strategies for development in the Öresund region. Through the me

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the relation between resilience as a discourse and governmentality. Drawing on theory by Foucault, a comparison and application of liberal governmentality will be made with contemporary resilience policy. The DFID, a global leader in resilience-building, will serve as a case to show in what ways power-relations are embedded within the organisation’s di

The aim of this study is to investigate how a final report from the official reports of the Swedish government (SOU) present newly arrived women's incorporation to the Swedish labour market and to which extent the report put the responsibility of their incorporation on the newly arrived women or on the society. I have been analysing the final report SOU 2012:69 which is an investigation that a

At present there is no health economic model that can fully explain the behaviour of the salaried physician in public health care systems. My purpose is to create a working economic model of the salaried physician in a public health care system. Any model is a simplification of reality and choices have to be made between simplicity and relevance. For this reason I present a sequence of models t

How we behave in daily life has an impact on environmental emergencies. In the decisions that we take every day, decisions that are important for the climate, the built environment has a vital but not so noticed part. The project Urban design and everyday life choices recognises the built environment as a co-producer of climate ethics.

Factory Detectives: Uncovering Hidden Performance Secrets Imagine a factory line, running with tireless precision, a relentless ballet between machines and human. But what if a closer look reveals that efficiency isn't just about what meets the eye? Embark with me on a detailed exploration inside a gas cylinder plant, seeking to understand its true operational dynamics. To begin our investig

Global warming and climate change is projected to cause intensified extreme weather events. Food production is threatened by this and crop yields have shown to be negatively affected by extreme weather events. This study examined the correlations between extreme precipitation and temperature and crop yield of spring barley in Säby in Uppsala, Sweden in 1981-2021. Crop yield of spring barley was co

This chapter analyses humour from an emotion sociological perspective, linking humour to power, status, and group solidarity. It draws from about 300 observed trials and interviews with 43 judges and 41 prosecutors from four Swedish districts courts. Humour is sometimes skilfully used as a strategy to ease tension, relieve boredom or to reprimand. It is initiated/allowed by the judge, but high-sta
