Mother's country of birth and prescription of psychotropic medication in Swedish adolescents: a life course approach.

Besides medical needs, psychotropic medication use in adolescence might be conditioned by the cultural context of the family. This knowledge is relevant for both detecting inequities in healthcare, and identifying information bias in epidemiological studies using psychotropic medication as a proxy for impaired psychological health. Therefore, we investigated whether, independent of needs, the soci

Vulnerability Analyses of Interdependent Critical Infrastructures: Case study of the Swedish National Power transmission and Railway system

Critical infrastructures provide services that are essential for the functioning of our society and extensive disruptions in these can have widespread effects. These effects are not only limited to the directly affected infrastructure but also indirectly through interdependencies to other infrastructures. By only account-ing for the direct consequences when analysing critical infrastructures, the

Simulation of collision loads to bridge supporting structures from heavy goods vehicle traffic on Swedish highways

This paper investigates accidental loading in the form of heavy goods vehicle (HGV) collisions to bridge supporting structures. Structures adjacent to roads are normally strong enough to resist collisions from light vehicles, while it may not be feasible for such structures to resist collisions from all HGVs (greater than 3,5 tons). In this paper a probabilistic model is used to determine these co

The seashore – beyond monumentality : The case of Pitted Ware coastal sites in southern Sweden

What is the significance of a place at the seashore? What kind of a sense of place does a place by the seashore constitute in the absence of any kind of monumental structures? Today, it is obvious within the archaeological domain that archaeological material culture is not only functional, but also acts as a metaphor for people’s self-perception.

Socioeconomic aspects of farmers’ markets in Sweden

An alternative to the current model of global food chains is local production of food and local sales of food at farmers’ markets. This chapter assesses the social and economic benefits of farmers’ markets both for the farmers taking part in the markets and for the consumers purchasing the products on sale. The deve
