Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån mitt empiriska material kartlägga och beskriva hur föräldrar till barn intagna på särskilda ungdomshemmen tolkar, definierar och upplever ett behandlingsprojekt, som involverade olika myndigheter, benämnt Motverka Våld och Gäng. Dessutom uppmärksammas hur de anställda samordnarna uppfattades och kategoriserades av föräldrarna. ”Föräldrar” blir i undersöknin

Among the issues relating to the needs of citizens with reduced functional capacity, accessibility problems throughout society are gaining interest. The focus of this paper is on methodology for assessment of urban public bus transport accessibility. The aims are to describe the development of a pilot version of a new instrument, the Travel Chain Enabler, and to identify problems to target for fur

This study addresses the enduring problem of the mismatch between firms' offerings and consumers' desires. It combines the general framework of modernity theory with the concept of regimes and uses the food area as the empirical context. Our cultural analytical study of consumers' and firms' articulation of values of food and meal demonstrates that firms are largely entrenched in the modern era, c

Background: Cognitive functioning may have implications for engagement in daily occupationsamong people with schizophrenia.Objectives: This cross-sectional study explores relationships between time use assessed occupationalengagement and cognitive functioning among persons with schizophrenia.Methods: Thirty-nine participants from four mental health care services in Sweden participated.The Profile

This article links up with the debate in economic geography on "local buzz" and "global pipelines" as two distinct forms of interactive knowledge creation among firms and related actors and argues for a rethinking of the way social scientists should approach interactive knowledge creation. It highlights the importance of combining the insights from studies of clusters and innovation systems with a

Ett vanligt problem på cykelvägar är kantsprickor, vilka påverkar trafiksäkerheten och framkomligheten för cyklister negativt och bidrar till ökade underhållskostnader. Cykelvägarna är extra känsliga för den här problematiken då de både är tunnare och smalare än bilvägar. Ett par passager av tunga fordon vid ogynnsamma tidpunkter kan räcka för att cykelvägens kant ska knäckas. Bärförmågan hos åttaA recurrent challenge on cycle paths are edge cracks, which affect the traffic safety and accessibility of cyclists and produce high maintenance costs. Being both structurally thinner and narrower structures than roads, the cycle paths are extra prone to this problem. A few passages of heavy vehicles in unfavourable conditions might be enough to break the edge. The load-bearing capacity of eight m

This interview-based study seeks to gain insight into the varying motivations behind car usage across different societal groups, alongside their attitudes towards travel behavior and transportation options. Its overarching goal is to delve deeper into the factors and constraints that influences individuals’ car use and mode choice. The research methodology involves collecting one-month travel data

Background In this study we examine whether the association between internet use and drinking could be different for different types of internet activities among adolescents. We also adjust for a number of theoretically relevant factors such as peer influence, unstructured activities, impulsivity and parental monitoring. Method The data are drawn from four cross-sectional surveys from the years 20

Economic crimes are – often – abstract crimes. Even for a somewhat well-trained accounting expert, these crimes are ambiguous, hard to detect and difficult to interpret. The abstract character of economic crimes is a problem in need of a solution. The abstractness needs to be reduced in order to make the court case judicially manageable, i.e. possible to work with during the process of trial and l

Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and cardiac transplantation. We report a genome-wide association study and multi-trait analysis of DCM (14,256 cases) and three left ventricular traits (36,203 UK Biobank participants). We identified 80 genomic risk loci and prioritized 62 putative effector genes, including several with rare variant DCM associations (MAP3K7, NEDD4L a

Research on early postwar documentation efforts related to the Second World War and the Holocaust conducted by survivors of Nazi persecution has expanded over the past two decades. Yet, research on how knowledge circulatedtween these efforts – especially across various “borders” – is still nascent. This chapter seeks to gain a better understanding of the role of women’s informalworks during the ea

We assessed if fasting plasma insulin levels in pregnant women with obesity are associated with newborns’ abdominal fat deposition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and with cord blood DNA methylation (450k array) in 232 mother–child pairs from the Treatment of Obese Pregnant women (TOP) study. Fasting maternal insulin at 18-20gw was associated with abdominal/total fat mass ratio in newborns inde

Thirty years on, gender mainstreaming is still a dominant strategy for working with gender equality, even though its effectiveness is debated. This is also the case in Sweden. This study focuses on how organisations in public administration, particularly municipalities and regions, are introduced to and approach gender mainstreaming. It aims to contribute with in-depth knowledge of how organisatio
