Infectious diseases often vary seasonally in a predictable manner, and seasonality may be responsible for geographical differences in prevalence. In temperate regions, vector-borne parasites such as malaria are expected to evolve lower virulence and a time-varying strategy to invest more in transmission when vectors are available. A previous model of seasonal variation of avian malaria described a

This chapter describes the musculoskeletal (MSK) context in children and young people as an important contributor to the global non-communicable disease burden. Through selected MSK conditions, we describe the impact on patients, families and communities and highlight the challenges that need to be addressed. We focus on opportunities for better working together and describe exemplar initiatives t

Organisms use circadian rhythms to anticipate and exploit daily environmental oscillations. While circadian rhythms are of clear importance for inhabitants of tropic and temperate latitudes, its role for permanent residents of the polar regions is less well understood. The high Arctic Svalbard ptarmigan shows behavioral rhythmicity in presence of light-dark cycles but is arrhythmic during the pola

Sustainably produced renewable biomass has the potential to replace fossil-based feedstocks, for generation of biobased fuels and chemicals of industrial interest, in biorefineries. In this context, seaweeds contain a large fraction of carbohydrates that are a promising source for enzymatic and/or microbial biorefinery conversions. The thermoanaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium AK17 is a versatile ferme

Background: Cortical contusions are common in moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Cortical contusions often expand, potentially causing neuro-worsening several hours to days post-trauma. While contusion expansion (CE) may affect outcome, potential clinical and radiological markers that can predict CE have been insufficiently explored. In the present single-center retrospective observatio

Traditionally, traffic safety is expressed through the number of accidents (crashes) or people injured, since these are the most direct manifestations of an unsafe traffic environment. As we discuss in this chapter, such an approach has its limitations due to the low frequency of accidents and some other issues. Neither is it unusual that accident data is not available, not reliable or lacks impor

The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo

This essay examines the philosophical questions posed in Virginia Woolf’s famous novel Mrs Dalloway (1925) set in London in the aftermath of World War I. In her unique tone and poetic aesthetics, Woolf deals with questions about war and its aftermaths, evil and oppressive power, time and temporality, duality of life, fear of suffering and death, sacrifice and suicide but also, most importantly, lo

I denna rapport föreslås en metod som syftar till att fördjupa förståelsen för identifiering av verifieringsbehovet, som rekommenderas i de svenska byggreglerna för analytisk dimensionering av byggnadstekniskt brandskydd. Syftet med denna rapport är att ge vägledning åt ingenjörer att noggrant ta reda på vilken effekt en förändring av en byggnads utformning har på byggnadens brandskyddssystem. FöIn this report a method is proposed that aims to deepen the understanding for identification of the need for verification that is recommended in Swedish regulations for performance based design of fire safety in buildings. The purpose of this report is to provide guidance to engineers on how to thoroughly identify the effect that an alteration to a building design has on the buildings total fire s

Bakgrund: Prokrastinering är uppskjutande av utförande av aktivitet trots vetskapen om att det kan ge negativa konsekvenser i längden. Det är ett fenomen som är väl beforskat inom den vetenskapliga disciplinen psykologi men i stort sett outforskat inom arbetsterapin och aktivitetsvetenskapen. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga prokrastinering samt förekommande behandlingar ur ett aktBackground: Procrastination is the postponement of performance of an activity despite the knowledge that it can have negative consequences in the long run. It is a phenomenon that is well researched in the scientific discipline of psychology but largely unexplored in occupational therapy and occupational science. Aim: The aim of this study was to map procrastination and existing treatments from th

Our ever-changing world has to a great extent created a need of efficient financial risk-management programs for financial institutions and corporations operating in a demanding international environment. These changes have however also increased the types of financial tools and derivatives used to handle the multifold macroeconomic exposures. Companies have therefore diversified opportunities to

På senare år har det diskuterats frenetiskt om arbetet mot gängkriminaliteten. Inom ramen för regeringens 34-punktsprogram, ett program bestående av flera förslag till åtgärder mot gängkriminaliteten i Sverige, infördes en ny tillfällig lag som gäller under en femårsperiod. I april 2020 trädde lagen (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning i kraft, för att möjliggöra för de brottsbekämpande myndigheternaOver the past years in Sweden, there has been a lot of discussions concerning the struggle on gang-related misconduct. Enclosed in the framework of the Swedish government's 34-point program, moreover an agenda comprising several proposals for measures to combat gang-related criminality, a new temporary legislation was introduced for a period of five years. In April 2020, the Secret Data Interc

Framställningen behandlar en normkonflikt som synliggjorts de senaste åren i avgöranden från Europadomstolen där en förälder bortfört sitt barn utom-lands. I avgörandena har föräldern, och i vissa fall barnet, ansetts ha fått sin rätt till respekt för familjelivet kränkt enligt artikel 8 EKMR. Kränkningen har skett när en nationell domstol beslutat att ett bortfört barn ska föras till-baka till he
