This book investigates the significance processes of Americanization have had in shaping and influencing the form and content of everyday life in Sweden. However, rather than simply viewing Americanization as an irresistible homogenizing force, it is argued that to the extent that Swedish everyday life has been Americanized, it has been Americanized in a very Swedish way. Here the dreams, actions,

A parent’s life threating illness and death can significantly affect their children's wellbeing in both the short and long term. Support from professionals is recommended when parents lack the ability to help children cope with loss, bereavement, and grief. The overall aim of this dissertation was to illuminate professionals’ encounters with children of a seriously ill or deceased parent and to ex

The number of adult bicycle helmet users in Sweden has stayed over the years relatively stable around 20 % [1]. In Europe the number of helmet users varies between 1 and 40 % depending on country. Research has shown that the use of helmet considerably diminishes head injuries in the case of traffic accidents [2]. In spite of that it is not fully clear what are the main factors why only a small num

Segmentation of diagnostic radiography images using deep learning is progressively expanding, which sets demands on the accessibility, availability, and accuracy of the software tools used. This study aimed at evaluating the performance of a segmentation model for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), with the use of computer-simulated breast anatomy. We have simulated breast anatomy and soft tissue

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the second most common cause of early-onset dementia after Alzheimer disease (AD). Efforts in the field mainly focus on familial forms of disease (fFTDs), while studies of the genetic etiology of sporadic FTD (sFTD) have been less common. In the current work, we analyzed 4,685 sFTD cases and 15,308 controls looking for common genetic determinants for sFTD. We found

Child participation, mandating that children should be able to impact the laws,policies, and programmes that affect them, is a core child rights principle. However, if children’s ideas should be taken seriously, it requires a radically open-minded and adaptable attitude of the adults whose responsibility it is to implement these laws, policies, and programmes. Such an attitude is difficult to “mai

In the current global scenario, it is evident that global warming and climate change are primarily driven by emissions stemming from the utilization of fossil fuels. Yet, if we look around, most of what we see is made from or linked to fossil fuels and it clearly shows our over-dependency on fossil fuels and hence there is a significant need to develop alternate sources of energy and raw materials

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation is a complex process that is still not fully understood. Despite decades of research on CSF and its distinct functions, there still remain a number of open questions regarding the mechanisms that govern its circulation. The recently discovered glymphatic system, which is mostly active during sleep, clears the brain from extracellular metabolites and waste prod

In several of the EU member states, an increase in household employees is seen as a result of societal and demographic changes . Sweden has also seen an increased number of individuals in this trade. Both nationally and internationally this line of work has historically been characterized of being excluded from certain labor law provisions and falling under separate regulations. There are currentl

Gas flaring is a global issue but more especially for developing countries who are faced with various health and environmental challenges. This research paper focusses on the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, who are among the highest ranked for the amount of natural gas flared in the process of oil exploration and extraction. The study is aimed at reviewing the existing literatures, which will help

Built environments, that include urban spaces, landscapes, and buildings, shape human lives profoundly. According to numerous scientific studies, disciplines such as biology, psychology, cognitive neuroscience and phenomenology steadily yield evidence of that the environments we create can alter our minds and our capacity for thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. This is a subject of growing importa

The aim of this paper is to examine how statements about voluntary childlessness are being contrasted to normative ideals of parenting. What constitutes the empirical material is a discussion forum on the Swedish website Familjeliv.se in which members interact with each other over different topics related to family, including voluntary childlessness. By using discourse analysis in two steps I firs

Today a majority of the world’s population is living in urban areas and this trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Globalization plays a key role in the expansion of urban areas as well as urban-related social, economic and environmental problems. Accelerating pace of life together with the globalization of the economy and culture has brought with it homogenization of lives and

In recent years, WUI fire evacuation models have started to be developed. Several now exist, although they are primarily research tools unable to be applied in practice or commercially available tools with limited functionality. For this step – moving from research to practice – such models need to build their credibility through data for their development, testing and application. The WUI-NITY to
