Background: A major challenge of today is to protect the marine ecosystem from a total collapse. Overfishing, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing, climate change in the sea, coral bleaching, ocean acidification, marine pollution impacts of coastal development, exotic and invasive species and last but not least all the cumulative impacts, are just some of the factors degrading our marine en

Next-generation sequencing of the V1-V2 and V3 variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene generated a total of 674,116 reads that described six distinct bacterial biofilm communities from both water meters and pipes. A high degree of reproducibility was demonstrated for the experimental and analytical work-flow by analyzing the communities present in parallel water meters, the rare occurrence of biolog

Cognitive reserve helps mitigate the impact of pathology on the clinical expression of dementia. Education and occupational complexity are considered as contributors to reserve, although it has been argued that cognitive reserve is likely formed over the life-course. A life-course model of cognitive reserve in dementia risk has not yet been tested. We apply a life-course model and examine if schoo

To investigate the sex- and age-specific incidence of healthcare-register-recorded anorexia nervosa (AN) and other eating disorders (OED) in a complete birth cohort, and assess whether incidence varies by diagnostic period and (sub-) birth cohort.

While drug abuse (DA) is strongly familial, we still have limited knowledge about the causes of its cross-generational transmission.

The societal consequences of drug abuse (DA) are severe and well documented, the World Health Organization recommending tracking of population trends for effective policy responses in treatment of DA and delivery of health care services. However, to correctly identify possible sources of DA change, one must first disentangle three different time-related influences on the need for treatment due to

BACKGROUND: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and other spondylarthritides (SpA) impose great impact on the individual in addition to the costs on society, which may be reduced by effective pharmacological treatment. Industry independent health economic studies should complement studies sponsored by industry. OBJECTIVE: To study secular trends in baseline health utilities in pa

Fathers often want to be involved in labour and birth.

To analyse late morbidity and mortality in pre and post-menopausal breast cancer patients treated with postmastectomy radiotherapy, with emphasis on side-effects from the heart, cerebrovascular and respiratory systems.

Biologisk mångfald är ett begrepp som alla känner till och dess betydelse. Det påverkar oss alla på alla möjliga sätt och vi kan enkelt påverka det genom att förändra de minsta sakerna i naturen. Flera arter är extremt känsliga för förändringar och med en mindre förändring i sin miljö försvinner de. Rödlistade arter är arter som är sårbara, orkidé är en art som alla typer är rödlistade i Sverige. The aim of this literature study was to understand the different perspectives of actors within forestry and conservation in terms of the species goodyera repens, and its debate.This study focuses on the red-listed orchid G. repens. A comparation of different actors was done, and it can be seen that the opinions of the actors’ are very different from each other. In summary, the actors who were more

E-scooter sharing systems (ESS) have rapidly gained popularity since their introduction in the U.S. in 2017, promoting sustainable urban mobility and offering a new solution to transport systems challenges. However, research on ESS usage in relation to the built environment, particularly in European contexts, is limited, and comparative studies between urban areas of different sizes are not readil

Problem Statement: Company Pie is planning for a new centralised distribution centre, as part of a reorganisation of their distribution network. This entails consolidating volumes from several existing facilities, and another company named Company Rho, when setting up a distribution centre configuration. Company Pie wants a second set of eyes to create a configuration, including operations, and de

Fraud is a crime that causes severe economic damage, and crime rates are rising because of technological advancements. There is a research gap regarding how fraud crime prevention is organised and which actors are important for it. This thesis aimed to explore how the rising occurrence of cyber fraud is addressed on a societal level, using the civil, banking, governmental, and business sectors. It
