The pursuit for equality between men and women is an ongoing struggle. One of the largest differences between men and women in general is the amount of time spent taking care of children and the home. This difference between men and women is one of the reasons women have less opportunity to pursue a career, be financially independent or take part in politics in most parts of the world. This differ

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Havsnivåförändringar på södra Grönland. Den globala havsnivån har förändrats under den nuvarande mellanistiden främst på grund av fördelningen av vatten mellan hav och glaciärer. Den relativa havsnivån på södra Grönland påverkas också till stor del av jordskorpans anpassning till storleken på det grönländska istäcket. I denna studie presenteras en ny strandförUntil recently there have only been a few observations of relative sea-level change from the inner Bredefjord area in southern Greenland. Here a new sea-level curve is presented from the Tasiusaq area based on data mainly from a sediment sequence from a marine embayment. Sea-level changes can be recorded in sediments as changed chemical composition, physical properties and macrofossil content. Iso

The critics about poor performance of NGOs over the last two decades focuses on their inclination towards ‘big D’ development – project based intentional activity in health, education and water which has little intention to challenge existing power relation and social structures - and underlined the loss of transformatory edge of participation. Critics further urged NGOs to realign their orientati

Låt inte åkern få för djupa sår, – annars vi i framtiden inga grödor får! Om det inte vore för växterna skulle vi inte kunna leva en enda sekund på vår jord. För varje andetag förlitar vi oss på att växterna producerar tillräckligt med syre till atmosfären och åkerns grödor ger oss mat på bordet. Det här är exempel på så kallade ekosystemtjänster, vilket är ett resultat av fungerande ekosystem, dAbstract The four weedy species Capsella bursa-pastoris, Elytrigia repens, Rumex longifolius and Tripleurospermum perforatum were grown for 4 weeks in a greenhouse experiment in intact soil cubes, excavated from 15 conventional agriculture fields with different land use intensity, situated in the agricultural area of South West Scania, Sweden. Soilbiodiversity provides ecosystem services and is

Idag vet man genom flertalet forskningsrapporter och studier att barn som bevittnar våld i nära relationer kan ta lika stor skada som barn som direkt utsätts för misshandel, och att omfattningen av barns våldsexponering i hemmet är stor. Det har i förarbeten uttryckts att dessa barn kan anses vara föremål för en form av psykisk misshandel. Att låta barn bevittna våld är emellertid inte en kriminalWe know from a majority of research studies that children who witness domestic violence can take as much damage as children directly exposed to assault offenses, and that the extent of children's exposure of violence at home are of great proportions. It has been expressed in Swedish legislation that these children can be subject to psychological abuse. Allowing children to witness violence is

När beslut skall fattas rörande barn förekommer det situationer där flera olika lagstiftningar skall bedömas. När vårdåtgärder på barn aktualiseras skall hälso- och sjukvårdens lagstiftning parallellt tillämpas med föräldrabalkens bestämmelser om vårdnadshavarens ansvar och barnets växande autonomi. Grundlagen och hälso- och sjukvårdslagen ställer upp krav på att ett samtycke skall föreligga för aWhen considering measures to children, there are situations where several different acts of legislation must be assessed. When care measures in children being addressed the health care legislation applies in parallel with parental code provisions of the guardian's responsibility and the child's growing autonomy. The Constitution and Health Act sets out a requirement that a consent must be

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether malnutrition or nutrition impact symptoms (NIS) affect the possibility of returning to work after treatment for head and neck cancer. Methods: Patients of working age with head and neck cancer were followed up from treatment initiation to 3 months (n = 238), 1 year (n = 182), and 2 years (n = 130) after treatment completion. The observed decrease in

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to scrutinize the connection between creativity and innovation in the context of public healthcare. This is achieved by applying the theoretical concept of employee-driven innovation (EDI) to explore employees’ perceptions of their creative engagement in innovation processes, as well as to capture the managerial implications of setting up such processes in the

Background: The primary aim was to assess psychological distress in patients with longstanding hip and groin pain (LHGP) and compare them with healthy controls. The secondary aim was to explore the association between psychological distress and symptom duration, self-reported pain and symptoms in patients with LHGP. Methods: Seventy-two patients with LHGP and sixty-three controls were included. Th

Objective To assess patient's self-reported global assessment of health (PGA) in relation to inflammation, pain and disability in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods Data were obtained from the Better Anti-Rheumatic PharmacOTherapy early RA cohort, in which patients were scheduled for follow-up of 15 years. Longitudinal PGA trajectories were identified using hierarchical agglomerative

INTRODUCTION: Low birth weight is an important measure of the health of pregnant women and newborns. We investigated the prevalence of low birth weights in India over nearly three decades to assess trends and convergence across states.METHODS: Data came from five waves of the National Family Health Survey (1992-93 to 2019-21). The prevalence of low birth weight was estimated. To explore the sensit

BACKGROUND: Despite the significant personal and societal burden of tic disorders (TDs), treatment outcomes remain modest, necessitating a deeper understanding of their etiology. Family history is the biggest known risk factor, and identifying risk genes could accelerate progress in the field.METHODS: Expanding upon previous sample size limitations, we added 4800 new TD cases and 971,560 controls

Background: There are currently no molecular tests to identify individual breast cancers where radiotherapy (RT) offers no benefit. Profile for the Omission of Local Adjuvant Radiotherapy (POLAR) is a 16-gene molecular signature developed to identify low-risk cancers where RT will not further reduce recurrence rates. Methods: An individual participant data meta-analysis was performed in 623 patien

Objective: To evaluate if postnatal treatment with betamethasone in extremely preterm infants was associated with neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 6.5 years of age. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study (gestational age <27 weeks, born 2004-2007). Patients: 428 children born extremely preterm were assessed at 6.5 years of age, 115 treated with b
