To meet the needs of an increasing, heterogeneous, ageing population it is imperative to understand links between home and health. In Latvia, only limited research targeting the health and home situation of very old people is available. Consequently, the aim of this study was to describe how the home environment and aspects of health have changed over nine years between 2002 and 2011 for very old

The demographic development indicates an increased elderly population in Sweden in the future. One of the greatest challenges for a society with an ageing population is to provide high-quality health and social care. New information and communication technology and services can be used to further improve health care. To enable elderly persons to stay at home as long as possible, various kinds of t

Very few countries have managed to decouple economic growth from resource use and greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms and at rates to meet the climate targets of the Paris Agreement. To achieve this, technological solutions would need to be combined with sufficiency-oriented policies in a postgrowth context. This paper develops policy ideas for a sustainable welfare–work nexus via citizen e

Implementation of Bridge weigh-in-motion (B-WIM) measurements and probabilistic approaches in bridge assessment may reveal hidden bridge reserves and changes in reliability levels over their projected service life, providing a key input for optimized bridge management. But, as scientists and engineers and at the same time vendors of our own ideas, we need to be in position to present the results o

Biomass densification elevates the bulk density of the biomass, providing assistance in biomass handling, transportation, and storage. However, the density and the chemical/physical properties of the lignocellulosic biomass are affected. This study examined the changes introduced by a briquetting process with the aim of subsequent processing for 2nd generation bioethanol production. The hydration

Within integration policies in Denmark, something new has happened. Private enterprises have been included in the delivery of a public policy in a Public-Private Partnership that aims at integrating refugees into society. The current issue of the welfare state is to provide public services without increasing the cost for the taxpayers. Public-Private Partnerships can be seen as a solution to this

This study illuminates civil society organizations (CSOs)’ possibilities to prevent HIV among girls and women in Tanzania, reflecting on policy implications. A qualitative case study was conducted with a purposively selected CSO, Mtandao. Departing from a Socio-Ecological perspective, its staff was interviewed to find out (i) what signifies girls and women vulnerability to HIV infection (ii) how M

The primary purposes of this study were to investigate the potential differences in interpersonal electronic surveillance (IES) between attachment styles and participant recruitment groups. People with anxious attachment were hypothesized to monitor their partners more than those who are avoidantly attached. A secondary purpose was to explore the possibility of different internet usage motivations

Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects lots of people all around the world. It greatly impacts the health of those with it and places many demands on healthcare services. Early detection of diabetes can significantly improve treatment outcomes, lower the chances of future health issues, and help patients to have a better healthier life. In this study, I evaluated the reproducibility of the per

The purpose of this study was to understand how field workers in social services work on drug prevention efforts with young people and how they cooperated with other actors in this work. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with five field workers from different parts of Sweden, all of whom work with youth. The theoretical approaches used to analyze the material were learning theory a

Widespread losses of production and conservation values make large-scale ecosystem restoration increasingly urgent. Ecological restoration by means of biomanipulation, i.e., by fishing out planktivores to reduce the predation pressure on herbivorous zooplankton, has proved to be an effective tool in restoring degraded lakes and coastal ecosystems. Whether biomanipulation may prove a useful restora

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur revisorer uppfattar och kommunicerar det bestyrkande dem ger till användare genom revisionsberättelsen. Den avser också att se hur revisorer tror att förändringar i revisionsberättelsen kan påverka revisorernas kommunikation med användare och huruvida dessa förändringar kan påverka förväntnings- och informationsgapet. I uppsatsens referensram presenter

In a time full of environmental changes the need for understandings of the operational work and services, the control of the business and key figures, and flexibility to adapt to different circumstances is crucial in many organizations. In a time where national borders are getting more and more invisible and where the humans are traveling and moving more than ever it is even more important to have

Bilingualism has become increasingly prevalent globally, with about half of the world's population being bilingual by 2012. This growing trend has prompted cognitive research to explore the effects of bilingualism on executive functions. The Bilingual Advantage (BA) theory posits that bilingual individuals experience enhanced cognitive abilities due to their practice in managing multiple langu

För att informera konsumenterna om livsmedelsföretagens livsmedelshantering har Malmö stad infört ett frivilligt premieringsystem som kallas för Smiley. Malmö stad har tidigare genomfört studier som fokuserar på vad konsumenterna anser om premieri

Cultural norms that promote gender inequality have shown to encourage power imbalances in heterosexual relationships, increasing both young men and young women’s risk of STDs, HIV, unplanned pregnancy and intimate partner violence (WHO, 2004). Understanding how exactly these cultural norms impact youth’s gendered sexual roles and overall sexual health has been increasingly highlighted as an import

This paper seeks to investigate the effects of the real exchange rate on the Swedish trade balance. By investigating for the elasticities of demand from the real exchange rate on Swedish exports and imports this paper seeks to present a more detailed and specific estimate than previous studies on the trade balance. An Autoregressive dynamic lag model (ARDL) is used to conduct regressions, using la
