The purpose of this study has been to examine how family counselors with a social work degree perceive their role within the inpatient care of child - and adolescent psychiatry. The empirical data consisted of interviews with six family counselors, all of whom are social workers and work in inpatient care. The study is based on a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, where the inter
We propose a consensus definition of "an exaggerated orthostatic pressor response" in subjects in whom systolic blood pressure increases ≥ 20 mmHg when going from supine to standing posture. This definition can be extended for seated to standing measurements. We reserve the term "orthostatic hypertension" for when this pressor response leads to an upright systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg. We bel
Repurposing former industrial sites to creative uses (so-called 'creative reuse') contributes to both cultural heritage and environmental sustainability, as it maintains the existing building stock. Creative reuse may also have positive impacts on the site surroundings. This study explores the prerequisites, functioning, and consequences of creative reuse in a small post-industrial town in Sweden.
Food security assessment in sub-Saharan Africa requires simultaneous consideration of multiple socio-economic and environmental variables. Early identification of populations at risk enables timely and appropriate action. Since large and widely dispersed populations depend on rainfed agriculture and pastoralism, climate monitoring and forecasting are important inputs to food security analysis. Sat
Previous research on violence during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina has resulted in a one-sided presentation of the phenomenon of “war violence.” Researchers have emphasized the importance of narratives in general but have not analyzed stories on war violence that were the product of interpersonal interaction and meaning-making activity. The aim of this article is to fill this knowledge gap by
We have previously shown that SRp55 inhibits splicing from HIV-1 exon 3, thereby generating partially spliced mRNAs encoding HIV-1 vpr. Here we show that SRp55 also inhibits splicing from HIV-1 exon 5 to generate HIV-1 vpu/env mRNA, albeit with lower efficiency. We also show that inhibition of HIV-1 splicing by SRp55 causes the appearance of partially spliced vpu, env and vpr mRNAs in the cytoplas
The empirical part of this study is based on a survey of 600 Swedish households and a number of interviews where questions about residential energy behaviour and possible policy instruments for change were raised. The study provides insight into current behavioural patterns and gives a bottom-up perspective on the realistic perspective potentials for change and ways to achieve them. Residential en
Abstract submitted to ISEE 2012 Theme: The Political Economy of Green Development By Rikard Warlenius PhD Candidate Human Ecology Division Lund University, Sweden 2011.11.24 Calculating Climate Debt. A Comparison and a Proposal The notion of climate debt has invoked widespread interest in the last few years. First conceptualized in 1999 within the Millennium movement for (financial) debt cancella
I will present a study, concerning crime writer Henning Mankell, and his stories about chief inspector Kurt Wallander at the Ystad police department in southern Sweden. In a cooperation between the local Tourist Office and the film production company producing films based on the Mankell/Wallander stories, a concept has been developed where tourists are invited to follow a ”murder walk” in Ystad. D
On 10 September 1751 the Swedish botanist Pehr Osbeck visited the outskirts of Canton. On his way back into the city he was surrounded by a gang of robbers who demanded money from him. When they did not receive any money, they pelted Osbeck with large stones; it was very fortunate that he was not severely injured. One of the questions this paper discusses is what were the laws in China at that tim
Context: The insulin response to meal ingestion is more rapid in the morning than in the afternoon. Whether this is explained by a corresponding variation in the incretin hormones is not known. Objective: Assess islet and incretin hormones after meal ingestion in the morning versus afternoon. Design, Settings and Participants: Ingestion at 8am and at 5pm of a standardized meal (524 kcal) in health
A bioeconomy can be defined as an economy where the basic building blocks for materials, chemicals and energy are derived from renewable biological resources. This paper provides an overview of the bioeconomy in Europe, examining it from a policy framework and concept perspective. The role of bioenergy in the bioeconomy is discussed particularly through biofuels for transport and biorefineries. Th
