Macroeconomic fluctuations and individual use of psychotropic medications : evidence from Swedish administrative data

BACKGROUND: A growing literature finds that adult mental health worsens during economic downturns. Current insights on the relationship between macroeconomic fluctuations and psychotropic medication are based on self-reported information or aggregate measures on prescriptions. This study assesses the relationship between local macroeconomic conditions and individual use of psychotropic medication

Transforming Church Strategies in a Changing Social Landscape : Sunday School Statistics from a Swedish Diocese, 1920–1990

This article offers a reconsideration of religious mobilisation in the inter- and post-war periods. It focuses on how the Church of Sweden gradually altered its catechetical activities aimed at children to meet changing needs. Built on a range of statistical sources, this article calls for a reconsideration of the ways in which larger Protestant denominations adjusted to meet declining religious p

The contribution of population age-sex structure to the excess mortality estimates of 2020–2021 in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden

The Nordic countries offer an ideal case study of the COVID-19 pandemic due to their comparability, high data quality, and variable mitigations. We investigated the age- and sex-specific mortality patterns during 2020–2021 for the five Nordic countries and analysed the total age- and sex-adjusted excess deaths, ratios of actual to expected death rates, and age-standardized excess death estimates.

Effective communications on invasive alien species : Identifying communication needs of Swedish domestic garden owners

Invasive alien species threaten biodiversity with domestic gardens acting as a major pathway for the introduction of alien species. Even though the Nordic region is not currently a hotspot for biological invasions, the number of invasions in the Nordic area has been predicted to increase due to climate change. Given a time lag between introduction and invasion, many non-invasive horticultural alie

Becoming Male Sex Worker, Doing Masculinities. Socio-Sexual Interactions and Gender Production in Men Selling Sex to Men in Italy and Sweden

Even though the actors involved are men, and previous studies have highlighted the importance of masculinity not only in the relation manto- woman but also in the “gay world”, there is a lack of attention in male sex working. Then, the aim of this pa

Masculinities at work. Male-to-male internet escorting in Italy and Sweden

Avhandlingens syfte är att kartlägga och analysera fenomenet manliga sexarbetare, specifikt män som säljer sex till andra män, i Italien och Sverige. Medan kvinnors sexarbete har studerats av många forskare runt om i världen, har den manliga sidan av detta fenomen inte uppmärksammats i samma grad. Kunskapsluckan inom forskningen speglar en mer generell osynlighet eller brist på förståelse för dess

Simulating glacier mass balance and its contribution to runoff in Northern Sweden

Glaciers are one of the main sources of freshwater in cold regions. The glacier melting process can significantly impact the glacier mass balance (GMB) and contribute a large amount of runoff in cold regions. This study applied the recently developed semi-distributed glacio-hydrological conceptual model (FLEXG) to understand the glacier melting process and the effect of topography on GMB in the To
