Carbon-14 in the marine environment of Ringhals nuclear power plant

The C-14 results from the study demonstrate that, although the liquid discharges from the Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) are assumed to be small compared to the total operational C-14 releases, the resulting C-14 levels in marine biota can be substantially higher than in terrestrial biota. The fndings indicate that the chemical speciation of discharged C-14 plays a critical role in its transfe

Navigating the Digital Frontier: The Implications of Tax Technology on Systems of Expertise and Legitimacy in Taxation

Digitalization is transforming the tax landscape, reshaping the operations of tax departments, authorities, and professionals. With rapid digital advancement, there has been a shift toward real-time reporting, e-invoicing, and greater reliance on digital data. This change is driven by investments in data analytics, robotic process automation, cloud platforms, and, more recently, artificial intelli

Disentangling future effects of climate change and forest disturbance on vegetation composition and land surface properties of the boreal forest

Forest disturbances can cause shifts in boreal vegetation cover from predominantly evergreen to deciduous trees or non-forest dominance. This, in turn, impacts land surface properties and, potentially, regional climate. Accurately considering such shifts in future projections of vegetation dynamics under climate change is crucial but hindered (e.g., uncertainties in future disturbance regimes). In

Preschool remodelling through systemic (ex)change

Based on the experiences from a social innovation process ofSwedish preschool remodelling – aiming to enhance equal and inclusivelearning and play – the study investigates socio-material dimensions incomplex multi-actor/level (ex)change. Previous studies on systemic changethrough social innovation ecosystems help reveal dynamics and challenges inthe coordination of varying logics and interests amo

Experiences of Swedish Parents Seeking Social Services Support for Their Adult Children With Drug Addiction

Objective: Family members of a person with drug addiction often experience negative impacts on their lives and face barriers to seeking professional support. More knowledge is needed about such barriers so they can be reduced. This article examines the help-seeking experiences of parents of adult children with drug addiction, a group that has received little attention in research. Method: We condu

The pros and cons of supervised urine tests in opioid replacement therapy : A study of patients' experiences

Background: In opioid replacement therapy (ORT), drug testing is performed continuously to ensure that patients are taking their prescribed medication, and to detect whether they have taken other, non-prescribed, substances. Typically, supervised urine testing is conducted, and in Sweden such testing is often an ORT precondition. Aim: This study investigates ORT patients’ experiences of and views

From Deformation to Hydrology A Comparative Evaluation of InSAR and Modelling Techniques for Assessing Water Availability in Varied Hydrological Systems

Water resources are under increasing pressure from population growth, climate change, and intensified human activity. Effective water management requires a clear understanding of both surface and subsurface hydrological systems, yet traditional monitoring methods often fall short in spatial and temporal coverage. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), a satellite-based remote sensing te

Monitoring techniques for embankment dams: A study on ERT and IP measurements, and seepage modelling of the Älvkarleby test dam : A multi-method approach to investigating internal anomalies in an embankment dam

Modern society depends on dams for renewable hydropower, water supply, and flood control. As climate change increases the frequency of extreme rainfall and flood events, and as the demand for renewable energy sources continues to grow, ensuring the safety of these critical structures becomes more urgent than ever. One of the most serious hidden threats in embankment dams is internal erosion – a sl

A comparison of privileged access interviewing and traditional interviewing methods when studying drug users in treatment

Aims: Privileged access interviewing (PAI) has traditionally been used to reach illicit drug users and other ‘hidden’ populations. How PAI data compare to other self-reported data have seldom been discussed. We compare data from patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST), gathered through PAI and researcher interviews, respectively, to investigate whether PAIs and researchers are reaching com

A community intervention to reduce alcohol consumption and drunkenness among adolescents in Sweden : a quasi-experiment

BACKGROUND: Several studies have examined the effect of community interventions on youth alcohol consumption, and the results have often been mixed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a community intervention known as the Öckerö Method on adolescent alcohol consumption and perceived parental attitudes towards adolescent drinking. METHOD: The study is based on a quasi-experim

Does it matter in what family constellations adolescents live? Reconsidering the relationship between family structure and delinquent behaviour

OBJECTIVES: This study examines the associations between ten family structure types and delinquency, including four groups of symmetrical and asymmetrical living arrangements. We also adjust for attachment to parents and parental monitoring. METHODS: Data are drawn from four cross-sectional surveys conducted between 2016 and 2019 in southern Sweden. The sample consists of 3,838 adolescents, aged 1

Illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine among adolescents and young adults in Sweden

Background Illicit use of methadone and buprenorphine has been described as a growing problem in Sweden in recent years, and has been associated with an increased drug-related mortality. Critics claim that the substances have become popular among adolescents and that they function as a gateway to heroin use. The aim of this study is to investigate, firstly, the extent to which illicit use of metha
