Objective: The authors sought to clarify the sources of parent-offspring resemblance for drug abuse, alcohol use disorders, and criminal behavior, using a novel genetic-epidemiological design. Method: Using national registries, the authors identified rates of drug abuse, alcohol use disorders, and criminal behavior in 41,360 Swedish individuals born between 1960 and 1990 and raised in triparental
This article introduces a special issue on the expanding research agenda on institutional fragmentation. The term refers to the growing diversity and challenges to coordination among private and public norms, treaties, and organizations that address a given issue area of international politics. International relations scholars increasingly address this phenomenon, framing it with alternative conce
In clinical practice, blood volume flow (BVF) is typically calculated assuming a perfect parabolic and axisymmetric velocity distribution. This simple approach cannot account for the complex flow configurations that are produced by vessel curvatures, pulsatility and diameter changes and, therefore, results in a poor estimation. Application of the Womersley model allows compensation for the flow di
Background/Aims: Psychosocial intervention has shown positive effects on the caregivers' burden and satisfaction. The aims of this study were to describe the cost and cost-effectiveness of such an intervention. Methods: We analyzed resource use and costs of formal care for 308 persons with dementia and their caregivers' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Results: The costs of home help servic

People in industrialized countries spend most of their time indoors. In this respect, a pleasant indoor environment is therefore very important, and daylight plays a fundamental role in this matter. A good lighting design in offices has proved to improve the worker’s wellbeing and increase their productivity. It has become an important part of the early stages of the building design. Simultaneous
Jämfört med många andra industrier så har byggnadsindustrin halkat efter med att implementera digitala lösningar. I dagsläget är det enbart ett fåtal materialleverantörer och tillverkare som erbjuder en tjänst av så kallade digitala BIM-objekt till sina produkter. Dessa digitala produkt kopior kan nyttjas för flera syften i projektmodeller vilket exempelvis gynnar desing-team och entreprenörer. DeThe construction industry has in general been rather slow in its implementation of new digital solutions compared to other industries. To date, only a handful of material suppliers are offering a service of so-called digital BIM-objects of their products. These 'digital product copies' can be utilized in projects' BIM-models for several purposes, being favorable to the design team and
This thesis investigates how Vicke Lindstrand’s public sculpture Legend i glas, located in Teaterparken in Växjö, can be related to its location and spatial context in terms of meaning, function and reception. Central questions asked are: How do changes in the direct surroundings affect the situation of reception? How does that affect the meaning and function of the sculpture? To what extent is me
It is common knowledge that shading systems and solar control glasses are used to avoid glare and overheating at expenses of daylight. In Dynamic Thermal Modelling tools, there is no assessment method where the shading use is expressed when predicting the building performance. Furthermore, literature often refers to studies where complex fenestration systems are optimized for specific cases. Howev
The purpose of my essay is to examine how the archival world in Sweden is handling the question of sami archives. The Sami people are the Indigenous people of Sweden, as well as of Norway, Finland, and Russia, and have historically been subjugated to assimilation politics and restrictive policies regarding their land and rights, and the consequences can still be seen today. This is also reflec
There is a need for a complement to caregivers’ mobile phones in home health care. Mobile phones disrupt patient contact because caregivers often need to look down at their phone’s screen and they increase the risk of infection because phones’ screens often have bacteria, viruses and infectious fungi on them. They also disrupt caregivers’ ability to use both hands to deliver care to their patients
En stor del inom utvecklingen av nya produkter är test och validering. Denna process kräver användning av dyra och stora testsystem. På grund av dessa faktorer är det viktigt att maximera användningen av dessa testsystem. Till följd av detta har ett övervakningssystem utvecklats av test- och validerings-avdelningen på BorgWarner i Landskrona som kan läsa driftstatus (Till exempel på och av) av visA large part of developing products is the testing and validation of the new products. This process requires expensive test systems and a great deal of time and space. Because of these factors it is very important to maximize the usage of the test systems. Therefore, a monitoring system has been developed by the test and validation department at BorgWarner Landskrona that can read the operational
As companies are digitising and connecting their products and venturing into the “internet of things”, they are facing challenges befitting what has been described as the third wave of IT-driven competition. In this wave, new technological capabilities are reshaping industries, redefining organisations and promoting new ways of doing business. To facilitate a holistic approach to these no doubt da
There is today a growing interest in psychological research to see how the feeling of shame affects individuals who are in vulnerable situation in our welfare society. In an attempt to shed light on how the individual servicerecipient experiences the treatment from government officials, a qualitative approach was adopted in this study. Using a hermeneutic approach, seven semi-structured interviews
One important aspect that is considered when designing safer buildings is human behavior. A comprehensive assessment of how people react during a fire, provides engineers valuable information, which will allow them to develop effective solutions to help people reach a safe place under tenable conditions. When evacuating a building, a key factor is pre-evacuation time, this is the lapse of time tha
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to examine how multilingual literature is acquired by public libraries in three municipalities of varying sizes in Skåne: what channels are used for purchase, what the selection process is based on and whether the target population is involved in the process. It also looks to explore the extent to which the professional librarians are representative of the po
In the 21 century many post industrial cities have converted their former areas into cultural areas with entertainment areas, cultural schools and museums. The city of Malmö has transformed itself into a city of culture and it uses its place brand to compete for tourists, inhabitants, businesses and labor with other cities. The purpose with this paper is to find out how culture is included in the
Introduction: For nurses and other health professionals the obligation to notify social services about child abuse is a problem of complex nature given the difficulty of identifying child abuse. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the child health care nurses´ experiences of dialogues with guardians of children at risk, with focus on the relationship. Method: The data consist of interviews
The telecom and the IT-industry are converging, which creates new possibilities and threats for both existing mobile handset vendors and new entrants originating from the IT-industry. The purpose of this thesis is to explain how IT-players’ entrance in the mobile handset industry affects the industry in regards of key success factors and value chain structure. This study has used dynamic theories
In microfluidic systems, resonant acoustic fields enable controlled particle manipulation, a phenomena known as acoustophoresis. These contactless and low-cost processes have successfully been applied to manipulate bulk particle populations, however robust single-cell manipulation for single-cell analysis remains a challenge. This work presents an experimental investigation into optimising the con
