Unga vuxna nämns ofta som bland de mest ekonomiskt utsatta grupperna och Sverige karakteriseras ofta som ett av de länder i EU som har de mest skuldsatta hushållen. Även om hushållens skuldsättning främst är kopplad till bostadslån, har även andra former av kreditanvändning blivit allt vanligare. Mot bakgrund av en ökande tillgången till lättillgängliga konsumentkrediter, en tuff bostadsmarknad meYoung adults are often mentioned as among the most financially vulnerable groups, and Sweden is often characterized as being one of the countries in the EU with the most indebted households. While this houshold indebtedness mainly is linked to home loans, also other forms of credit usage have become increasingly common. Given the increasing access to readily availabe consumer credits, a difficult

IntroductionIn speech, there are no blank spaces to signal boundaries between words as there is in written language, but listeners can nevertheless recognise individual words rapidly. Without these blank spaces or commas, listeners have to divide up – segment – the continuous speech stream into discrete words using other means. This study aimed to investigate the tonal cues important for speech se

Background: As the treatment arsenal for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has expanded during the last decades, follow-up studies are needed on children diagnosed in the era of biological treatment to evaluate if this has improved the outcome. Our aim was to study the epidemiology and outcome of JIA in southern Sweden using a population-based cohort of children with a validated di

International bi-lateral agreements to support the conservation of rainforests to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are growing in prevalence. In 2009, the governments of Guyana and Norway established Guyana’s Low Carbon Development Strategy (LCDS). We examine the extent to which the participation and inclusion of Guyana’s indigenous population within the LCDS is being achieved. We conducted a sing

Polyaminanaloger – nytt botemedel mot cancer? Prostatacancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos män i Sverige. Idag behandlas sjukdomen med hjälp av kirurgi, strålning eller genom att sänka nivån av androgener, de manliga könshormonen, då prostatacancercellerna oftast är beroende av dessa för tillväxt. Så länge tumören endast är lokaliserad i prostatan är behandlingen oftast effektiv. Dock kan meAbstract One of many new targets when looking for anti-cancer treatment is the polyamine pathway, which is essential in cell proliferation, gene regulation and cell death. A way to intervene with this pathway is to use compounds called polyamine analogues. Depletion in the intracellular polyamine pools results in decrease in cell proliferation, something that is desirable in cancer treatment. In

Kan skuggträd och landskapsdesign minska insektsangrepp på kaffe?

Intresset för svenska modeprodukter ökar både i Sverige och utomlands. Under 2011 omsatte svensk modeindustri 206 miljarder kronor. I takt med att intresset för svenskt mode ökar blir det alltmer lockande att plagiera framgångsrika företags plagg. Modeföretagen investerar mycket tid och stora summor på formgivningen av en produkt för att den ska bli så attraktiv och konkurrenskraftig som möjligt.Interest in Swedish fashion products is increasing in Sweden as well as abroad.

Fashion companies invest much time and large sums of money in the designing of a product to make it as appealing and

Sammanfattning Bakgrund: Postural kontroll innebär reglering av kroppens orientering och stabilitet, det är ett brett begrepp som innefattar bland annat posturalt svaj och balans. Posturalt svaj innebär att projektionen av kroppens tyngdpunkt vid stillastående hamnar innanför stabilitetsgränserna, vilket gör att balansen kan bibehållas. Mätning av posturalt svaj kan användas för att detektera och

Methodology: This inductive study applied a qualitative research strategy to obtain an in-depth understanding of consumers’ feeling of brand trust on soci

Inledning Fatigue är något som drabbar personer med MS och personer som har haft stroke i stor utsträckning. Cirka 70% av de som har MS och 50% av de som har haft stroke upplever någon gång fatigue. Inom båda grupperna kan fatigue ha en stor negativ inverkan på personens livskvalité och vardag. Träning har visats kunna minska fatigue vid MS och stroke, men det är inte klarlagt vilken typ av tränin

The keyword for this study is autonomy, a concept most of us take for granted. But for individuals with disabilities this is a right they have had to fight for throughout history. During the 30-40 years this fight has been rewarded and they have gotten their rights incorporated in the law. Autonomy has been described in this study as a human right, which should be given to everyone, regardless of

The purpose of the study was to examine how mothers from 30 to 35 years living in a big city felt that stress and status affects their everyday lives and health. My questions was how mothers feel and handling requirements in relation to family life and parenting versus career, the demands on the mothers themselves, and how mothers look at the link between stress and status? I wanted to explore the

Den tekniska utvecklingen har möjliggjort nya former av sexuella övergrepp mot barn, där fysiskt möte mellan förövare och barn ofta helt uteblir. Detta har lett till olika typer av utmaningar till det straffrättsliga system som länge varit inriktat på fysiska övergrepp. Trots att forskning visar att digitala övergrepp kan orsaka ett psykiskt lidande som är jämförbart med de vid fysiska handlingar,Advancements in technology have enabled new forms of child sexual abuse, where physical contact between the perpetrator and the child is entirely absent. This development challenged a criminal justice system which has historically focused on physical offences. Research shows that children that have been subjected to online sexual abuse often experience psychological harm that is just as severe as

Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al

Beijing has been experiencing severe particulate pollution accompanying the fast growing population and economy. This study investigated the impact of PM2.5 and its water soluble organic and inorganic constituents on visual impairment in Beijing under different meteorological conditions. According to the analysis of PM2.5 samples collected in Spring 2012, water soluble species took up 38.1% of PM2

Life on Earth is a mosaic distributed across biogeographical regions. Their regional species pools have experienced distinct historical and eco-evolutionary pressures, leading to an expected context-dependent organization of biodiversity. Here we identify a general spatial organization within biogeographical regions of terrestrial and marine vertebrates, invertebrates and plants (more than 30,000

The world is experiencing deep climate changes caused by increased population and rapid urbanization. Hydropower is one of the renewable energy sources that can be used to meet energy demands, but most of the hydropower plants suffer from silt erosion and cavitation problems. Therefore, it is important to decide which parts to be repair or replace, as it affects the Operation and Maintenance (O&am
