While the current research mainly deals with the Palestinian youth in the Middle East, reports from various organisations, whose most accounts are descriptive, hardly provide a sustained and critical evaluation of their nature and impact. With an urgent need to understand better youth engagement in exile under adverse conditions in a conflict-ridden society such as the Palestinian one, this paper

As the nineteenth century turned to the twentieth, the relation between the law and the Christian church became increasingly challenged in Europe. Social claims from political forces and increasingly strong labor unions formed the introduction to the modern social welfare state. In the increasingly secularized Nordic societies, Christian philanthropy was replaced by social legal reforms in the ear

Att människan påverkar klimatet och att utsläpp av växthusgaser värmer planeten är ingen nyhet. Byggsektorn stod 2015 för 18 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser och 2018 lanserade Bygg- och anläggningssektorn en färdplan för att nå en klimatneutral värdekedja tills år 2045. Tidigare studier har pekat på att majoriteten av klimatpåverkan ifrån flerbostadshus kommer från driftskedet, men se

Background and purpose — We have previously observed differences in treatment and outcome of knee arthroplasties in the Nordic countries. To evaluate the impact of Nordic collaboration in the last 15 years we aimed to compare patient demographics, methods, and revision rates in primary knee arthroplasties among the 4 Nordic countries. Patients and methods — We included 535,051 primary knee arthrop

The strive to create sustainable societies is often addressed through the lens of social, economic-, or environmental sustainability. However, this division fails to acknowledge existential dimensions of sustainability, i.e., the fundamental concern to sustain a good and meaningful life. This paper expands the notion of Existential Sustainability in relation to socio-material dimensions and built The strive to create sustainable societies is often addressed through the lens of social, economic-, or environmental sustainability. However, this division fails to acknowledge existential dimensions of sustainability, i.e., the fundamental concern to sustain a good and meaningful life.

I forskningsprojektet Välfärdsstaten analyserad (1945–89) arbetar vi med olika typer av algoritmisk textanalys av storskalig empiri från politikens sfär (digitaliserat riksdagstryck och statliga offentliga utredningar under perioden), dagspress och skönlitteratur. Svensk efterkrigstid är en väl utforskad period, men genom att applicera digitala metoder på kurerade dataset kan politikens, nyhetsmed

Early reports raised concern that use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19). Users of the COVID Symptom Study smartphone application reported use of aspirin and other NSAIDs between March 24 and May 8, 2020. Users were queried daily about symptoms, COVID-19 testing, and healthcare seeki

Cascading effects, arising from intricate interactions among vital social and technical infrastructures, are essential to consider when assessing the societal impacts of various disruptions caused by, for example, natural hazards, climate change, and antagonistic attacks. Critical Infrastructures (CIs) form the backbone of society, and their interdependent nature amplifies the risk of cascading ef

Aerosol emissions from anthropogenic activities cause detrimental health effects and affect the climate system. Combustion is a large source of airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and the uncertainties of the climate role of these emissions are still large. A good understanding of the microphysical properties of aerosols from various sources and their atmospheric aging is essential for accura

Avhandlingen består av tre oberoende kapitel som alla är empiriska studier av forskare och den roll som olika typer av rörlighet spelar för att forma forskarnas vetenskapliga produktion och karriär.Kapitel 1 studerar effekterna av avregleringen av svensk arbetsmigration, 2008, på publiceringsproduktiviteten hos akademiker verksamma i Sverige. Reformen ledde till en kraftig ökning av antalet asiati

Objectives The objective of this Health Technology Assessment was to evaluate effectiveness, complications and cost-effectiveness of surgical or non-surgical treatment for proximal, diaphyseal or distal fractures of the humerus in elderly patients. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the intervention costs per treatment of proximal humerus fractures (PHF) and to investigate treatment traditions
