Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th

Background: Individualized cancer rehabilitation should be an integral part of cancer care. Contact nurses play a key role in identifying patient needs and coordinating evidence-based interventions to support rehabilitation. However, cancer rehabilitation remains marginal in current practice, as contact nurses face challenges due to the lack of systematic processes for assessment, intervention, an

Exekutiv funktion är en sammansättning av flera förmågor som är avgörande för ungas möjlighet att hantera krav i skolan och samhället. Studier tyder på att det finns ett samband mellan exekutiv funktion och psykisk ohälsa, däribland ångest, depression och icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende. Tidigare forskning har främst studerat exekutiv funktion utifrån psykologiska test samt undersökt ungdomar meExecutive function refers to a set of skills important for adolescents’ ability to handle school and societal demands. Research has shown associations between executive function and mental health problems, including anxiety, depression and non-suicidal self-injury. However, prior studies have mainly investigated executive function through psychological testing and focused on individuals with concu

BACKGROUND: Practically all data on familial risk in ovarian and other cancers are based on incident cancer, whereas familiality in cancer mortality is largely unknown. If fatal forms of cancer are a highly familial subtype, then familial risk for mortality may exceed that of incidence, which is relevant for clinical decision making and counseling. METHODS: Ovarian cancer patients in the nationwid

We examined associations between food intakes and incident breast cancer, defined by estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) status in the Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort (17,000 women aged 45-73 yr). The hazard ratios (HRs) of ER+PR+ (n = 270), ER+PR- (n = 87), and ER-PR- (n = 61) tumors and all cancer (n = 544) were estimated after 10 yr of follow-up. In multivariate analysis of ER+PR

Exhaustion is consistently found to be more prevalent in women than in men. Women suffer from job strain more often, which may constitute a partial explanation for this phenomenon, but experienced shortcomings in combining work and family demands may also contribute to ill health. The aim of this study was to investigate, and analyse by gender, how work-related and family-related factors, as well

Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This is in part attributed to the effects of hyperglycemia on vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In diabetic animal models, hyperglycemia results in hyper-contractility of vascular smooth muscle possibly due to increased activation of Rho-k

From 2004 there has been a substantial increase of foster homes on a full day contribution, in relation to this, municipalities have a hard time in recruiting foster homes. Earlier studies has pointed at that social workers contact with the foster home is an important parameter when it comes to decrease risk of collaps within the sector of foster home care. Our aim with the study has therefore bee

Background The forms of retailing can be divided into store retailing and non-store retailing. It is necessary for retailers who base their business in the fixed locations to conduct in-store marketing in the physical environment to enhance sales performance. Retailers generally take information and communication techniques such as store atmospheric design and interaction between shoppers and stor

Följande uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av Länsstyrelsen i Gotlands län med syfte att tillämpa GIS för att identifiera lämpliga områden för kontrollerad naturvårdsbränning. Skogsbränder, både naturliga och antropogena, har historiskt varit en frekvent närvarande störningsregim i den svenska skogen. Branden har bidragit till att skapa stora delar av de strukturer och den biologiska mångfald som finnThis study was conducted on behalf of the county administrative board of Gotland, with the aim of using Geographical Information systems to identify protected forest areas where controlled fires would be suitable to incorporate in management plans. Forest fire, being both a natural and cultural phenomenon has historically been a frequently recurrent disturbance regime in the boreal and boreonemora

Popular science Dissolve organic carbon degradation in the estuarine environment Dissolve Organic Carbon (DOC) is transported to the estuarine systems via river runoff where it is largely degraded by microbial communities. The availability of DOC effects aquatic ecosystems by causing changes in the bioavailability of toxic compounds, and by increasing the acidity of water . DOC degradation causes

När jag började fundera över hur jag skulle ta mig an min sista tid på arkitektskolan visste jag tidigt att jag ville arbeta med landsbygden. Dels för att större delen av projekten i min utbildning varit förlagda till urbana miljöer och jag såg det därför som en möjlighet att arbeta med en annan typ av plats och frågeställningar. Det kommer sig också från att jag funderat över min hembygd på landeWhen I began to consider my thesis I knew from an early stage that I wanted to work with a rural area. During most of my university studies the design projects had been located to urban environments. I saw my thesis as an opportunity to study another environment and different questions. My interest for rural areas also derives from my childhood on the countryside in northern Västergötland. I was b

I takt med den tekniska utvecklingen i samhället har forensisk bevisning, eller kriminalteknisk bevisning som det också kallas, fått en allt större betydelse inom rättsväsendet. Med forensisk bevisning avses bevis som upptäckts och värderats med hjälp av en naturvetenskaplig och/eller teknisk metod (även kallat forensisk metod). Det handlar vanligtvis om någon typ av fysiskt spår (DNA, skoavtryck,The technical development in society has made forensic evidence to become increasingly important in the judiciary. Forensic evidence refers to evidence that has been discovered and evaluated using a scientific and/or technical method (also called as a forensic method). It is usually about some type of physical trace (DNA, shoe prints, fibers, bullets from firearms, etc.) that has been left at a cr

How do neighbourhoods affect life chances? This is a question that researchers have asked in different forms as early as the 50’s –and there is no shortage of papers exploring neighbourhood effects: how where we live affects our well-being or our participation in the labour market, our life expectancy or, in general, our life outcomes. Yet, there is less consensus than one would expect from a fiel

Human-mediated landscape alterations has led to habitat loss for many pollinator species, causing declines in both diversity and abundance. In addition to habitat loss, habitat fragmentation can reduce population connectivity and lead to declines in genetic diversity, the variation that enable adaptation to novel conditions. In spite of this, to which extent pollinator species have lost genetic di

Fastigheter anses på grund av dess unika egenskaper att vara en av de bästa skattebaserna, och i takt med globaliseringens acceleration blir betydelsen av skatteintäkter från denna skattebas allt större. I Sverige har skatteuttaget från denna skattebas trendvis minskat med åren, något som sticker ut på ett internationell plan. Syftet med rapporten är att jämföra olika fastighetsbeskattningsmodell
