This study explores how traffic safety implementation at local level in line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is characterised. By investigating interactions between traffic safety and other sustainability goals (synergies), as well as identifying contradictions between goals and conflicting interests (challenges), the study aims to pinpoint the main enablers for implementing traff

IntroductionImmigrant children are often challenged at school. School performance is an important predictor of future socioeconomic position and mental and physical health. While studies have investigated parental mental disorders as a potential factor for poor school performance, no studies have investigated this among children with foreign-born parents, i.e., second-generation immigrant children

Background: The Prostatype score (P-score) is a prognostic biomarker that integrates a three-gene (IGFBP3, F3, and VGLL3) signature derived from prostate biopsy samples, with key clinical parameters, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, Gleason grade, and tumor stage at diagnosis. The test has demonstrated superior predictive accuracy for prostate cancer outcomes compared with traditi

Det övergripande temat i denna avhandling är hur normbrott (breaches) kan användas för att belysa blinda fläckar inom designfältet, samt hantera och förvalta den potentiella friktionen som uppstår på ett konstruktivt sätt. Forskningsprojektet som presenteras här består av två delar: Bling?-studierna, som redovisas i licentiatavhandlingen, bifogad i sin helhet i Appendix 2 och Breach!-studierna.I BThe overall theme of this thesis is norm deviations, i.e. breaches, as an approach to illuminating blindspots in the design field in order to handle potential friction that arises constructively. The research presented consisted of two parts: the Bling? studies, which are part of the licentiate thesis, attached in Appendix 2, and the Breach! studies.The Bling? studies present how planned provocati

In the eighteenth century, the portrait genre, previously restricted to royalty and nobility, became available to users from a broader social spectrum. All over Europe, physicians, scholars, writers, merchants, and proprietors had their portraits painted to mark their standing in society. However, not these grand paintings but their printed versions made the sitters known to the broader public. Bu

Fracture risk is determined by bone strength and the risk of falls. The relationship between serum sex steroids and bone strength parameters in men is well known, whereas the predictive value of sex steroids for falls is less studied. The aim of this study was to assess the associations between serum testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) and the likelihood of falls. Older men (aged ≥65 years) from t

Being poor during childhood increases the likelihood of being poor as an adult, which points to an intergenerational transmission of poverty. We know much more about this transmission for contemporary contexts than for the past, as extant research primarily covers the post-1960 period, and thus provides limited insights into the changing influence of poverty as societies modernize and welfare stat

As globalisation of economy is developing, the value of “human capital” was discovered as one of the solid basics for sustainable entrepreneurship in a knowledge-based society. Accordingly, the relevance of Participation and Empowerment (P&E) among management approaches has increased significantly. In this anthology, 26 authors from six European countries, networking in the “International Soci

Mapping spatial variability of bioavailable strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) is fundamental to robust analyses of prehistoric human and animal mobility and provenance based on strontium isotope data. A key challenge is how to construct and extrapolate a baseline for specific landscapes to enable meaningful correlation with high-resolution archaeological data. This study presents a regional high-reso

Introduction Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease, which has extensive pathology that critically includes the loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons. This loss leads to debilitating motor features such as bradykinesia and rigidity, as well as some non-motor symptoms. Intracerebral dopamine cell transplants have been explored for many years as a new approach to treating PD
