BACKGROUND: Public health policies and healthcare quality play a pivotal role on the health outcome level and disparities across sociodemographic groups. However, there is little evidence on their role on disparities in life expectancy (LE) and life disparity (LD) in low and middle income countries. The present study aimed to assess the contributions of avoidable mortality, as a measure of inter-s

Properties of t

I samband med påföljdsreformen år 1989 infördes preciserade regler för påföljdsval och straffmätning i det svenska straffrättssystemet, med syftet att öka förutsägbarheten och möjliggöra en enhetlig rättstillämpning. Bland annat infördes billighetsskälen, ett antal skäl hänförliga gärningspersonen, dennes agerande eller sådant som inträffat efter begånget brott. I det fall omständigheten är av särIn connection with the Swedish penal reform of 1989, specific rules for sentencing and penalty assessment were introduced into the Swedish criminal justice system, with the aim of increasing predictability and enabling uniform application of the law. The grounds for equity were established, consisting of various factors related to the offender, his or her actions, or events occurred after the crim

Inom den sociala barnavården och familjehemsplaceringar av barn finns det tre grundtankar, kontinuitet, flexibilitet och närhet. Vid en familjehemsplace-ring med stöd av lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga ska vår-den vara inriktad på att den unga ska återförenas med sina föräldrar, men det finns undantag. Flyttningsförbudet stadgas i 24 § LVU och ger möjligheten att införa ett förbudIn the field of child welfare there are three fundamental principles: continuity, flexibility and proximity. In the case of a family home placement according to The Care of Young Persons Act, the care must be aimed at reuniting the young person with their parents, but there are exceptions. Prohibition of relocation is regulated in section 24 of The Care of Young Persons Act and pro-vides the possi

In the prevailing retail climate sustainability has become an important factor of competition actualizing questions about why we buy green products, how we buy them and how they are marketed. These questions touches upon the contextualization of green products, they need to be made meaningful and functional to consumers. It is therefore interesting to study the processes involved in the production

In many countries, GMO policy-making has been characterised with a lot of controversy, participation and trust being the most pressing issues. The ongoing Ghanaian GMO policy-making is not spared of the controversy. The GMO Bill which was introduced in the Ghanaian Parliament in 2013 remained unpassed amid accusations and counter-accusations between government-led groups and civil society-led anti

Även om terrorism utgör ett växande problem kan få presentera en precis och heltäckande förklaring av dess innebörd. I en internationell såväl som akademisk kontext råder oenighet om vilka handlingar som bör omfattas. I svensk straffrätt saknas likaså en definition av begreppet; istället straffbeläggs ett stort antal terroristhandlingar under skilda brottstyper. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vadAlthough terrorism poses a growing threat, few can present a precise and all encompassing definition of the term. Internationally, as well as academically, there is disagreement about which acts should be subjected by the term. Swedish criminal law similarly lacks a definition; instead numerous terrorist acts are criminalized under separate forms of crimes. The purpose of this essay is to investi

Wireless relays extend coverage, improve spectral efficiency, and enhance reliability and rates of wireless cellular communication systems. In this work, we introduce the fundamental notion of asymmetric cooperation among cooperating relays in cellular downlinks - different relays are party to different but overlapping knowledge about the messages transmitted from the base station. We argue that a

The major part of the Swedish hydro power development took place between 1945 and 1975. At that point of time, significant progress had been made regarding the use of high quality concrete for hydraulic structures. In spite of the progress made, deterioration of concrete due to freezing and thawing is still frequent. Superficial damage at the waterline and spalling of concrete far below the water
