Witnessing violence toward a caregiver during childhood is associated with negative impact on children's health and development, and there is a need for effective interventions for children exposed to intimate partner violence in clinical as well as in community settings. The current effectiveness study investigated symptom reduction after participation in two established group interventions (one
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Kidd blood group system consists of two major antigens: Jka and Jkb . Both the antigens are absent in individuals typed as Jknull and may develop clinically significant anti-Jk3 antibody. Screening donors for provision of Jknull blood is an ongoing task for blood centres with Jknull blood units kept frozen for specific requirements. In 2016, we discovered a previously ty
Laser cooling is a well-established technique for the creation of ensembles of ultracold neutral atoms or positive ions. This ability has opened many exciting new research fields over the past 40 years. However, no negatively charged ions have been directly laser cooled because a cycling transition is very rare in atomic anions. Efforts of more than a decade currently have La- as the most promisin
Landscape air temperature thresholds (TA) and percent misclassified precipitation (error) for 12 years of meteorological observations from 40 stations across the Scandinavian Peninsula were derived and compared using both manual and geographic information system (GIS) landscape classification methods. Dew-point, wet-bulb, and wet bulb 0.5 were also tested. Both classification methods used the foll
This study assessed whether methods for capturing the pedestrian experience of outdoor lighting, previously evaluated in a full‐scale laboratory, were applicable in a real‐world setting. It applied an approach capturing the human response to outdoor lighting in a systematic way, by assessing perception, evaluation and behaviour in the lit environment. The study involved 81 participants from two ag
Objectives: To compare time intervals to diagnosis and treatment, tumor characteristics, and management in patients with primary urinary bladder cancer, diagnosed before and after the implementation of a standardized care pathway (SCP) in Sweden. Materials and methods: Data from the Swedish National Register of Urinary Bladder Cancer was studied before (2011–2015) and after (2016–2019) SCP. Data a
Purpose: Validation of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in digital pathology with a reference standard is necessary before widespread clinical use, but few examples focus on creating a reference standard based on pathologist annotations. This work assesses the results of a pilot study that collects density estimates of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) in breast cancer biopsy s
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term post-recurrence survival outcomes in young women receiving fertility-sparing surgery (FSS) to verify the feasibility of the limited surgery for epithelial ovarian cancer (OvCa). Study design: We performed a regional multicenter retrospective study from January 1986 and March 2020, using clinical data corrected under the central patholog
To Ask for the King’s Permission to Marriage: Applications for Marriage between Relatives in Eighteenth Century Sweden. In early modern Western society regulations against incestuous relationships were primarily justified by religion, and kinship by blood and kinship by marriage were treated equally. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Swedish law was among the strictest in these matters,
Animal bedding, a mixture of straw and manure, could be used as a feedstock for bioenergy production, but its heterogeneity poses new challenges in its use in biorefineries. We have investigated the origin of this heterogeneity and quantified it, and discuss its impact on bioenergy production. Samples were collected from the bedding at different points and depths and analysed by first separating t
Surrogacy is a much-discussed issue in Spain since in 2017 the political party Ciudadanos proposed in parliament a law to legalize altruistic surrogacy. Since then, the main political parties have constructed a discourse on surrogacy, positioning themselves in favor of or against its legalization. Meanwhile, civil society has also mobilized and associations fighting for or against the legalization
På uppdrag av Räddningstjänsten Syd har vi genomfört denna fallstudie med syfte att beskriva och analysera en av deras huvudprocesser, "att utvärdera och lära av olyckor och insatser". Bakgrunden till uppdraget är identifierade problem kopplade till denna process. Organisationens mål är att öka kopplingen mellan insamlat material och det interna lärandet och vi hoppas med denna uppsats k
Detta examensarbete befinner sig i gränslandet mellan pedagogik och scenproduktion. Studiens frågeställningar undersöker hur förberedelsearbetet och arbetet på scen kan se ut när man ensam skapar och framför musikföreställningar för barn i förskoleåldern. Frågeställningarna i arbetet uppkom i samband med att jag deltog i kursen ”Musik i framtidens förskola” där jag påbörjade arbetet med att ensam This thesis has an interdisciplinary approach in-between pedagogy and stage production. The qualitative study examines artists working alone preparing and performing solo musical theatre for children of preschool age. The thesis questions were formulated while I was attending the course “Musik i framtidens förskola” where I started to work alone creating a music theatre for children. The theoretic
The debt equity bias refers to the discrimination between debt and equity finance. This discrimination is problematic since it distorts companies’ decisions and increases systemic risk. The European Commission has recommended Sweden to eliminate or reduce the bias and the Swedish Ministry of Finance has gathered a committee to investigate possible solutions. Sørensen (2010) suggested that Sweden w
Abstract Author: Ella-Kari Meyrell Title: Strategy for welfare - a discourse analytical study of culture in health, social care and school organizations Supervisor: Håkan Jönson Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort The aim of this study was to examine how culture (as “the arts”) is constructed as a strategy in welfare work. The empirical material was based upon 160 articles from Swedish printed and web base
Studien strävar efter att ta reda på hur rädsla för brott ser ut i ett ruralt område som nyligen utsatts för grova brott. Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med sex butiksägare som alla blivit utsatta för brott och där två har utsatts för de grova brotten som studien utgår ifrån. Datan har tolkats med hjälp av DuBows m.fl. uppdelning av riskbedömning, värdering och emotioner. Alla respondenter
Flood risk is influenced not only by climate change but also underlying factors including unplanned urbanization, environmental degradation, poverty, social inequalities and weak governance. Given its complexity, effective flood risk management requires a better understanding of its conceptual context and comprehensive assessments that beyond hazard consider exposure, vulnerability and capacity.
