Vi vill med den här artikeln peka på att Sveriges städer har flera utmaningar kring styrning och hantering av vatten, samt föreslår sju principer för lösningar. Klimatförändringarna och den urbana tillväxten gör att åtgärder behövs nu för att hantera både vattenbrist och översvämning på ett integrerat sätt. Här fokuserar vi på kommunnivå och urbana områden, där vi argumenterar för att det behövs eWe argue in this paper that Swedish urban areas have several urgent challenges when it comes to water governance and we propose seven principles for addressing them. Climate change and urban growth call for swift action to manage both water scarcity and flooding in an integrated way. This paper focuses on the municipal level for which we argue that there is a need for a more systematic approach. T

Purpose The recruitment of participants to randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in palliative cancer care by health care professionals is often unsuccessful, which could result in failure to achieve study power. The purpose of this paper is to describe how health care professionals experienced recruiting patients and family caregivers to an RCT in palliative cancer care. Methods The study had a qua

The Zero Drafts of the compacts were published on 31 January 2018 and 5 February 2018, respectively. The move towards the discussion and adoption of the global compacts comes in part in r

This paper describes the results of the conceptual and practical strategy work performed by the Swedish Ergonomics and Human Factors Society (EHSS) today. The rationale of EHSS is to strengthen the quality of ergonomics/human factors knowledge and practice in Sweden and form a multidisciplinary platform across disciplines and professions for collaboration and for knowledge sharing. EHSS gathers ab

PURPOSE: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently exhibit atypical cognitive profiles, sensory processing challenges, sleep disturbances, and co-occurring psychiatric and somatic conditions. This exploratory prospective study, with a single-arm pre-post design, investigated the effects of a 10-12 weeks structured physical activity program on psychological symptoms, cognitive functio

BACKGROUND: Integration of oncology and palliative care has been shown to increase quality of life in advanced disease. To meet the needs of the growing older population, integration of palliative care and geriatrics has been proposed but scarcely described.OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to integrate palliative care into geriatrics by a structured care guide, the Swedish Palliative Care Gui

The paper provides an overview and preliminary results from ongoing research with the aim to evolve cross-laminated timber (CLT) into the next generation of Tailored Laminated Timber (TLT). This is done by exploring innovative concepts that optimize the mechanical performance, while simultaneously ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. The current study aims at investigating the potent

This chapter presents life cycle assessment (LCA) and its current and potential use as a tool of governance. LCA is considered as providing governance input in three different dimensions: (1) as results; (2) as a method; and (3) as a mindset. Life cycle approaches are increasingly informing policymaking and legislation, either as an abstract idea such as “the circular economy” or as calculation ru

IntroductionHousing shortage due to population growth within metropolitan areas, combined with an ageing population has put pressure on current housing provision policies in Sweden. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable housing policies to accommodate the growing number of seniors in accessible home environments. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of how municipaliti

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has seen many deaths, but the majority were for causes other than COVID-19. However, end-of-life care in all settings has been affected by measures limiting the spread of the virus, for patients with and without COVID-19. The Swedish coronavirus strategy was different compared to many other countries, which might have affected end-of-life care. The aim was to desc

Purpose: An increasing number of children and young adults with complex medical conditions and respiratory failure are treated with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). The current study aimed to describe how young adults using HMV experience their everyday life with the ventilator, their physical impairments and their opportunities for an educational and professional career. Materials and methods:

Background: The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is pivotal for growth of epithelial cells and is overexpressed in several epithelial cancers like head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). EGFR signalling is also involved in diverse innate immune functions in epithelia. We previously found a role for EGFR in modulating the complement system in skin, this prompted an investigation into

Skatteflykt, skatteundandragande och aggressiv skatteplanering av företag underminerar staters förmåga att respektera, skydda och uppfylla mänskliga rättigheter eftersom stater berövas nödvändiga resurser för att förverkliga ekonomiska, sociala och kulturella såväl som medborgerliga och politiska rättigheter. Företags skattebeteenden har tidigare betraktats som en elefant i rummet inom Förenta natCorporate tax evasion, tax avoidance, and aggressive tax planning undermine states’ ability to protect, respect and fulfill human rights since states are deprived of necessary resources to realize economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil and political rights. Corporate tax has previously been called the elephant in the room within the United Nations’ (‘UN’) framework of Business and H
