Background: Preventing and responding to gender-based violence (GBV) is both a human rights imperative and a multifaceted economic issue. GBV can also act as a barrier to economic empowerment. The aim of the study was to examine the association between women’s empowerment (physical mobility, decision making and economic resources) and GBV among married youth in India. Methods: Community based cros

Species’ range shifts and local extinctions caused by climate change lead to community composition changes. At large spatial scales, ecological barriers, such as biome boundaries, coastlines, and elevation, can influence a community's ability to shift in response to climate change. Yet, ecological barriers are rarely considered in climate change studies, potentially hindering predictions of biodiv

Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) is a priority of most low- and middle-income countries, reflecting governments’ commitments to improved population health. However, high levels of informal employment in many countries create challenges to progress toward UHC, with governments struggling to extend access and financial protection to informal workers. One region characterized by a high preva

Background: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is a concept of human rights applied to sexuality and reproduction. Suboptimal access to SRHR services in many low-income countries results in poor health outcomes. Sustainable development goals (3.7 and 5.6) give a new impetus to the aspiration of universal access to high-quality SRHR services. Indispensable stakeholders in this process

BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation pathways are crucial to reduce stroke-related disability. Motivational Interviewing (MI), as a person-centered complex intervention, aimed to empower and motivate, and could be a resource to improve rehabilitation outcomes for older stroke survivors. The IMAGINE project aims to assess the impact of MI, as a complement to standard geriatric rehabilitation, on functional i

Background: Chronic widespread pain (CWP) is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects approximately 10% of the population. It is more common in women than in men. It is important to understand how CWP develops and how it is maintained in order to prevent poor pain prognosis. Long term studies have shown that a mere part improves over time or fluctuates in their CWP condition. Female gender is one o

Background: In 2014 the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health integrated pay-for-performance into setting hospital reimbursement tiers, to provide hospitalization service coverage for the majority of the Lebanese population. This policy was intended to improve effectiveness by decreasing unnecessary hospitalizations, and improve fairness by including risk-adjustment in setting hospital performance sc

Homeless youth are a vulnerable and understudied group who hasconsistently reported elevated levels of substance use. Understanding the factors associated with substance use within this population may help guide future intervention efforts. Although few studies have examined the role of abstinence self-efficacy and coping in substance use among homeless youth, some research indicates that higher a

INTRODUCTION: Tobacco is still one of the single most important risk factors among the lifestyle habits that cause morbidity and mortality in humans. Furthermore, tobacco has a heavy social gradient, as the consequences are even worse among disadvantaged and vulnerable groups. To reduce tobacco-related inequity in health, those most in need should be offered the most effective tobacco cessation in

Introduction Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a highly prevalent disabling joint disease. Intra-articular stem cell therapy is increasingly being used for treating KOA with little high-quality evidence to support its use. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (Cymerus MSCs) for treating symptomatic tibiofemoral KOA and

Morocco has for twenty years been in what is officially described as a transition to democracy. During the former king Hassan II negotiations with the opposition resulted in two constitutional reforms and a new government in 1998 dominated by the former opposition parties. In the 2000s two important law reforms were made: a new law of personal status in 2004 and a new constitution in 2011. The new

According to medieval canon law, a marriage could be declared invalid if the consent had been given through force or fear. This ruling was a natural consequence of the insistence on free consent as the only requirement for a valid marriage. It did, however, entail a number of both practical and theoretical problems. It could be difficult to prove force and fear within the family, but also to defin

Vårdnadsrelaterade tvister har ökat markant de senaste åren. För varje tvist finns det minst ett barn som påverkas, men barn saknar i svensk rätt både talerätt och processbehörighet i dessa mål. Det finns emellertid vissa rättigheter som ska tillförsäkra att barnets intressen tillgodoses i processen; barnets bästa och barnets rätt att komma till tals. Barn har rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och atFamily law disputes concerning child custody, residence of the child and the child’s right of access with a parent have increased significantly over the last years. This means that more children get involved in these kinds of disputes every year. In Sweden, children have no right to litigate and no procedural capacity in these proceedings. Instead there are other rights that are supposed to ensure

In the face of climate change, a fast global switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy is imperative. In the Netherlands however, prospects for such a switch are bleak. With 6% renewables its progress is lagging, and vested interests hold back change. The transition is failing. This thesis provides an alternative, by identifying a new solution to the sluggish transition, a new agent that could

In his teens Gary Lee Boas (b. 1951) began photographing famous persons with a Brownie camera. He spent the following decades in pursuit of celebrities and by the end of the 1980’s he had accumulated over 60 000 snapshots. He was a self-professed fan of fame without any artistic interest or intent. However, approaching the new millennium his amateur archive was discovered by editors and curators w

This thesis set the goal to contribute to the fields of diaspora studies and cultural studies from a media and communication studies angle by addressing the blank spots ‘white minorities’ and book use. White diasporas are nearly invisible within academia and very often ‘under the radar’ in society as well. Books are underresearched within media studies in favour of other media. On the other hand,

I en rättegångsprocess är olika uppgifter fördelade mellan de olika aktörerna. Huvudregeln enligt svensk rätt är att parterna har huvudansvaret för den materiella delen av processen, medan domstolen ansvarar för den formella delen. Det har sin grund i de processrättsliga principer som reglerar ansvaret mellan domstolen och parterna i rättegångsprocessen: den kontradiktoriska principen, förhandlingIn a proceeding in court, different tasks are divided between the different actors. The main principle in Swedish law is that the litigants have the responsibility for the substantive part of the proceeding, while the court is responsible for the formal part. This is based on the procedural code principles that regulate the responsibility between the court and the litigants in the court proceeding
