This study tests whether the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis holds in Sweden when the private sector faces an intertemporal budget constraint skewed by the media narrative. Time series analysis of cointegrated vector autoregressive processes is utilized to identify Ricardian consumer behavior in three different models, in order to find differences in consumer behavior when media narrative bias is

Women constitute a minority among patients in forensic psychiatric care, which aims to improve the patients’ health while ensuring safety for patients, caregivers, and society. Participation in forensic psychiatric care can be complex; its definition depends on the context and perspective and is influenced by several factors. This study examined the perceptions of female patients and caregivers re

The ability to overcome short-term economic stress has been shown to be a good measure of the standard of living of populations in the past. From micro-level studies conducted across Europe and Asia we have learned that measures taken to smooth consumption, such as delaying births and marriages, and out-migration, were not sufficient to prevent all family members from dying in years with high food

ABSTRACT Background Posterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism. Narrative ability refers to the capacity to understand, create, and share stories. Narratives can be analysed at the macBackgroundPosterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism.

Background The distal forearm fracture is the most common fracture in children. To allocate health care resources and evaluate if prevention strategies have been successful, it is essential to monitor changes in the epidemiology of common fractures. Methods Our hospital serves a city in which year 2006 included 276,244 inhabitants (49,664 <17 years of age). Through the hospital archives, we identi

"If on a winter’s night an architect" was presented as part of the launch of "AR(T)CH-RES: platform for artistic research in architecture" at Lund University, within a collective exhibition of artistic research in architecture.Developed through a workshop at the Milano International Design Studio (MInDS), the project takes its structure from Italo Calvino, where a sequence of interrupted narrative

Miniaturisation of weapons and other tools is a phenomenon seen throughout the Viking Age in Scandinavia. Predominantly using the theory of semiotics, previous publications on miniature weapons have reached similar conclusions as to the functions of these objects. Three main interpretational threads can be seen repeated throughout the previous research; miniature weapons as symbolic objects, minia

Several studies have reported a declining reading rate in school-aged children. Thus, this thesis therefore aimed to evaluate how students in their last semester of high school (gymnasiet) would have their attentive behaviour affected when reading challenging texts, and with the allowance or the prohibition of the use of electronic devices in the classroom. The purpose of the study was to foster a

The main focus of this case study was to assess ecological succession and restoration success after the removal of Rosa rugosa. Plant species composition and moss presence, bare ground cover, and biodiversity indices were analysed to identify patterns and differences within and between the restored and an invaded adjacent area. The complete absence of R. rugosa in restored plots confirms the effec

This thesis investigates how individuals in Sweden perceive the sustainability of electric car usage, using the Triple Bottom Line framework, which encompasses environmental, economic, and social dimensions. The primary aim is to gain insight into the genuine sustainability intentions of electric car users and to understand how they interpret sustainability not only in terms of environmental i

This thesis explores how bilingual and trilingual children aged 7–11 develop their English pronunciation in an international school where English is the main language of learning and play. Recordings from a storytelling task were rated for accent and comprehensibility, and background data from parental questionnaires provided detailed language profiles. Analyzing these data, it examines (a) whethe
