Many seriously ill and frail older people experience a lack of practical support and meaningful social engagement. While healthcare provides good medical support, it lacks the full competence and resources to help with social, practical and existential challenges that can arise near the end-of-life. Increasingly, resources in civil society are enlisted to fill this care gap. One such attempt to br
All over the developed world there is a SES gradient in health and mortality for adults. Thesemortality differentials have also widened since the 1970s in the countries for which there aredata. Our knowledge about conditions in the more distant past is much more rudimentary, andwe do not know when and why the mortality gradient emerged. In this paper we studydifferences in life expectancy at age 6
With the rapid development of the electric vehicle (EV) industry, the large-scale retirement of batteries has introduced multiple environmental risks and challenges to industrial sustainability. Smart circular business models (SCBMs) utilizing 10R circular strategies (i.e., Refuse, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refurbish, Remanufacture, Repurpose, Recycle, and Recover) present a promising soluti
Many studies have examined how the rise of radical right parties influences the general tone of legislative debates, particularly how mainstream parties tend to demonize and disengage from these parties through specific rhetoric and strategies. However, less attention has been given to their growing electoral success and how this affects speeches aimed at them in parliamentary debates. This study
Parent-of-origin effects (POEs), whereby the phenotypic impact of a genetic variant depends on parental inheritance, represent a mechanism through which genetic and environmental factors interact in complex traits such as metabolic disorders and cancer. As parental contributions differ, POEs can influence both early-life development and adult metabolic function, with parental imbalances observed i
Denna antologi samlar forskare och praktiker inom kriminologi och brottsförebyggande arbete kring en gemensam ambition: att utveckla kunskapen om otrygghetens geografi och att belysa frågorna om var, när och varför människor känner sig otrygga. Genom att kombinera olika perspektiv visar antologin att otrygghet inte enbart handlar om rädsla för brott, utan också om hur människor upplever sina vardaThis anthology brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of criminology and crime prevention in a shared ambition: to advance knowledge about the geographies of fear and unsafety and to address questions of where, when, and why people feel unsafe. By combining diverse perspectives, the anthology demonstrates that unsafety is not only about fear of crime, but also about how peop
This article examines the overlaps between the AI Act and the GDPR, analysing their overall relationship, conceptual similarities and differences, as well as specific provisions in the AI Act that explicitly overlap with the GDPR. The primary focus of this article lies on AI data governance, with a detailed analysis of the requirements set out in Article 10 AI Act. This provision establishes quali
Why are some men attracted to misogynistic groups? Drawing on literature on intergroup threat, we hypothesize that men who perceive that their status is threatened are more likely to engage with misogynistic groups. We also hypothesize that anger reactions to such threats is an important mechanism explaining why perceived masculine status threats lead to such engagement. In a survey (N = 2,751) we
Trots att bemanningsbranschens utveckling på arbetsmarknaden har ökat de senaste åren har forskningen och kunskapen om bemanningsanställda inte ökat i samma takt. Den psykosociala arbetsmiljön har förändrats de senaste decennierna i och med framväxten av alternativa anställningar. Både den fysiska och psykosociala arbetsmiljön har betonats som viktig för personers hälsa och välbefinnande. I arbetsThe development of temporary agencys on the labormarket has been increasing over the past years, despite of this the research and knowledge about temporary workers has not increased in the same pace. The psychosocial environment has changed the past decades with the emergence of alternative empolyments. The importance of the physical and the psychosocial work environment has been emphasized for th
The aim of this thesis is to study the flammability and fire spread for textile membranes for weather protection. This thesis includes literature studies to determine current standards and recommendations available. Main focus however have been on the European classification system EN 13501-1 and construction site safety. Two types of experimental tests have been done, cone calorimeter test and te
Recently, acqui-hiring, which refers to the acquisitions driven by gaining access to target human capital, has emerged as a proliferating phenomenon in acquisitions of small technology firms. However, we still know little about this phenomenon, particularly outside the community of Silicon Valley. This study sheds new light on the nature of acqui-hiring by focusing on what drives acqui-hiring. Usi
Protein homeostasis depends on many fundamental processes including mRNA synthesis, translation, post-translational modifications, and proteolysis. In the late 70s and early 80s the discovery that the small 76 amino acid protein ubiquitin could be attached to target proteins via a multi-stage process involving ubiquitin-activating enzymes, ubiquitin conjugating enzymes, and ubiquitin ligases, reve
Using nationwide register data, individuals aged 15–60 years registered as suspects of firearm homicide, attempted firearm homicide, or conspiracy/preparation to commit such offenses (firearm homicide+) between 2000 and 2020 were matched to population controls. Conditional logistic regression examined the association between immigrant background and registered suspicion of firearm homicide+, adjus
