This paper complements the other papers in the Lancet Series on midwifery by documenting the experience of low-income and middle-income countries that deployed midwives as one of the core constituents of their strategy to improve maternal and newborn health. It examines the constellation of various diverse health-system strengthening interventions deployed by Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Indonesia, and
Screening for cervical cancer precursors by cytology has been very successful in countries where adequate resources exist to ensure high quality and good coverage of the population at risk. Mortality reductions in excess of 50% have been achieved in many developed countries; however the procedure is generally inefficient and unworkable in many parts of the world where the appropriate infrastructur
Popular Abstract in Swedish Barns villkor i stadsmiljö är ett viktigt tema för förståelsen av den moderna barndomen. Barn har emellertid sällan tillfrågats om sin syn på stadens miljövillkor. Avhandlingens syfte är sammanfattningsvis: * Att beskriva de sakkunnigas försök att skapa goda uppväxtvillkor för barn i stadsmiljö, utifrån det jag sammanfattande benämner "de för barnen tänkta perspektivenChildren's conditions in urban environments are an important theme for understanding modern childhood, yet children have rarely been asked about their views of urban childhood conditions. The aim of the dissertation is: To describe the experts' attempts to create good conditions for growing up in an urban environment. This is summed up as "perspectives thought out for the children". To investiga

China, as a huge and promising market, has always been largely exposed to and influenced by the Japanese and Korean idol industries. With various attempts trying to adopt the transnational experienced idol production within the challenging Chinese context, numerous reality television talent shows had been introduced in the past few years. After the very first boy group talent show, Idol Producer (
Alla barn har rätt till en grundläggande utbildning. Det är en mänsklig rät-tighet som stadgas i exempelvis barnkonventionen. Forskning visar att sko-lan är en bra skyddsfaktor, en fungerande skolgång minskar risken att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, exempelvis kriminalitet. Barn som är placerade utanför hemmet är en grupp som löper större risk att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, samtidigt som Every child has the right to a primary education. This is a human right stat-ed in documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Re-search shows that school is a significant protective factor; a functioning school experience reduces the risk of ending up in harmful environments, such as criminality. Children placed outside their homes are a group which are at greater risk of ending
This master´s thesis examines the working conditions and working environment of assistant nurses within the home care service of the elderly during and before the Coronavirus pandemic in Sweden. Before the pandemic studies showed that care work performed by assistant nurses lack recognition of how hard and heavy their work is and at the same time that their wages are low in relation to other occup
As a foster parent, within the Swedish foster care system, you are granted support and have access to interventions such as educational programs and counselling. Considering this, past research still suggests that a substantial number of foster carers express how these types of interventions can lack a sense of meaningfulness and/or be inadequate. With our research we’ve ventured to better underst

The middle managers are working in Swedish welfare organizations providing supp
ABSTRACT The aim of this exploratory study was to examine what motivates social workers in the drug abuse field to remain in their jobs for longer than five years. Data was collected via semi-structured face-to-face interviews with five social workers in a municipal social services administration in south-western province of Scania. The analysis empolyed qualitative approach using Herzbergs two-
Wireless technologies, cloud computing and connectivity have enabled mobile services that extend the coverage of health services, resulting in a branch of eHealth now commonly referred to as mHealth. However, at least in Sweden, where the healthcare sector is heavily institutionalized and regulated, mHealth has so far mainly evolved in the form of applications for support of healthy life-style and
Antalet rättsfall gällande oönskad publicering och spridning av andra människors privata material på Internet har ökat betydligt de senaste åren, med de s.k. Instagramupploppen 2012 som en sorts uppmärksamhetskulmen. Inget svenskt samlingsnamn som passar i alla dylika sammanhang har uppkommit och även om specifika detaljer skiljer sig åt från fall till fall, förefaller ärekränkningar förekomma somThe legal cases concerning unwanted online publishing of private material have experienced a significant rise in the last few years peaking around 2012 in Sweden, with initial assiduities around the issue being brought about by the “Instagram riots”. Up to this day, there is yet to be a collective term to entirely encompass these cases, and although the specific details differ between each case, t
Volunteer tourism is an alternative form of tourism that is constantly increasing. The increase can be considered related to trends about social participation, environmental awareness and moral demands. Volunteering in developing countries has previously been associated with altruism and social responsibility, but more recently volunteer organizations have used personal development as part of thei
In recent years, research into internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) has suggested that therapist-guided digital interventions have greater engagement, adherence, and effectiveness than self-directed digital therapies. While research has focused on the effectiveness of, and adherence to, these interventions, less attention has been paid to their implementation in practice and what asp
Occupational stress and the use of alcohol to reduce stress are both separately common in our society. A few researchers have combined the two factors. The aim of this essay was to obtain an increased understanding of how male and female managers estimate their alcohol habits in relation to their occupational stress. We have interviewed nine managers who work at a social services department in S
The remaining lifetime of concrete structures subjected to chloride-induced corrosion has been studied in many papers. However, few studies so far consider explicitly experiences from case studies, jointly several corrosion mechanisms and a system perspective. This paper introduces a methodology to evaluate the time-dependent system reliability for concrete bridges subjected to reinforcement corro
Health care professionals frequently describe performance management and monitoring of efficiency and quality measures for external accountability as an administrative burden with limited benefits. Professionals argue that they are subject to too tight control that signals distrust, limits professional autonomy and ultimately decreases their motivation to perform. At worst, poorly incen
In the future, fifth‐generation communications system (5G) is expected to provide reasonable mobile broadband experience to high‐density users in stadium, gym, shopping mall, etc. As the fundamental limitation is attributed to the propagation environments, it is essential to understand profoundly the high‐density channels, say, the propagation channel in the environments where the user density cou
