Almost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family. This increases the probability of having (or to be a) bonus/step-grandchild and raises the question: How does the caregiving dynamic between bonus-grandparents and bonus-grandchildren intersect with gender and life situation, unraveling the intricate threads that weave through familiAlmost half of all divorced Swedes are aged 60+ and many of them are, or have been, part of a reconstituted family.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse survival rates and causes of death in adults with spina bifida in Sweden compared with a matched control group.DESIGN AND METHODS: This population-based study included 11,900 adults born between 1950 and 1997. Three national Swedish registers were used to identify individuals with a diagnosis of spina bifida and a matched control group without spina bifida in the period 1990-
The aim of this study was to give insights on the effects of an industrially relevant kilning method, with a focus on lipase inactivation and oat-base production. Storage of non-kilned, dehulled oat kernels in either room temperature or at 37 °C for up to 64 days led to increasing lipase activity with time, despite a decrease in moisture content and water activity, demonstrating the importance of

Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potentialRecently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally.

Many locations in Indonesia such as small islands and remote villages on the main islands are not connected to the main electricity grid, and may never be as they are too remote for grid extensions to be economically justifiable. Therefore, many either do not have electricity or are dependent on expensive diesel transports to fuel their stand alone, diesel powered mini-grids.

Access to water is a necessity for farmers for them to be able to produce food. This poses a problem in Jordan, one of the world’s driest countries, but also in Sweden, where after a drought in the summer of 2018 the state of the water levels was more critical than ever. Virtual reality (VR) has shown to be a tool with a good effect on students’ learning. In this work VR has been taken advantage o
Identifying and keeping track of different structural representations of functionally overlapping issues is important in order to keep a well maintained issue management corpus, establishing efficient and organized response ability to develop and code software patches repairing these issues and defects. This is normally achieved by manual, time-costly reviewing-processes by special teams put up to
Background: The Andean indigenous philosophy known as Buen Vivir or Sumak Kawsay, loosely translated into Good Living or Well Living, is rarely studied within the field of public health. The studied philosophy has been institutionalized in Bolivian and Ecuadorian constitutions, why it sets the agenda for health in the Andean region. The ongoing progression of the health definition, combined with gThis study has looked upon how a philosophy called Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir explains what health means. The studied philosophy has its origins in the Andes in Latin America. The reason why this study was done came from the writers wish to understand what the philosophy meant, and how it could be used within public health-work. The writer thought that it is important to include different explanat
