Reducing the ecological footprint and achieving environmental sustainability is regarded as one of the main goals of the world in recent decades. To achieve these goals, some practices in people’s life should be changed. As an essential part of human needs, food consumption is one of the practices that significantly impact environmental sustainability. In the last few decades, modern technologies,
Sweden have been under a lot of economic, political, and social pressure after the refugee crisis that occured 2015. Unanswered questions from the government made many citizens question the work that they do regarding the refugees in Sweden. A hot topic broke out when different media outlets spoke harshly against the Moroccan unaccompanied refugee boys and the criminal activities they commit. Thei
The co-administration of the tetravalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine, MenACWY-TT, with a licensed hepatitis A and B vaccine, HepA/B (Twinrix (R)), was compared to their separate administration in this open, randomised, controlled study. Healthy subjects 11-17 years of age (n = 611) were randomised (3:1:1) to receive both vaccines, MenACWY-TT alone or HepA/B alone. The co-administration of both
ABSTRACT Background Posterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism. Narrative ability refers to the capacity to understand, create, and share stories. Narratives can be analysed at the macBackgroundPosterior fossa tumours (PFT), among the most common childhood brain tumours, place children at risk of speech, language, and communication difficulties, often described in relation to cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) but also seen in children without mutism.

This article examines how intensive care staff navigated the emotional and temporal complexities of the COVID-19 pandemic, drawing on qualitative data from two Swedish ICUs. Rather than treating emotional responses as secondary reactions to crisis, the analysis shows that emotions were deeply embedded in professional feeling rules, organizational hierarchies, and the poly-temporal unfolding of the
The article deals with the genre consolidated government accounts of state-owned enterprises in Finland and Sweden. More specifically, the study is focused on the subgenre the foreword of the responsible minister, which we label Statement from the Minister in analogy with Statement from the CEO in the related genre corporate annual reports. The primary data consist of Statement from the Minister iThe article deals with the genre consolidated government accounts of state-owned enter-prises in Finland and Sweden.

The purpose of the thesis is to identify the key determinants of corporate liquidity in Swedish firms and whether these have changed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. For these means, data obtained from companies listed on the Swedish NASDAQ OMX Stockholm stock exchange are used to estimate a number of dynamic panel regression models in E-Views. The ambition is that the insights gained wil
Nätläkare, vårdgivare som tillhandahåller sjukvårdstjänster via smartphoneappar, har gått från att vara perifera inslag i den svenska sjukvården till att på allvar utmana det konventionella sättet att bedriva sjukvård. Den tillgänglighet som nätläkare erbjuder är oöverträffad men alla patientgrupper har inte sett sin tillgång till vård förbättras i samma utsträckning tack vare nätläkare.Syftet med
The aim of this study was to examine social workers experience on the Swedish statutory regulated program “contact family”. A contact family is a non-compulsory intervention to support children in families with social problems. The intervention contact family together with the intervention contact person is the most common non-compulsory intervention in the Swedish social service. The child lives
The provision of military and armed security services typically is the monopoly domain of the state. With the end of the Cold War legitimate private firms, however, expanded as worldwide providers of military and security services. The proliferation of private military companies echoes back to pre-modern eras when it was customary for state rulers to allocate force and security through the market.
The encoding-retrieval match has been established as a means to improve memory performance. It has recently been proposed that memory performance is not only explained by the encoding-retrieval match and that the cue overload effect needs to be taken into account when predicting memory performance. In the present study, participants were tested using a cued recall methodology. During a study phase
The resolution and fidelity of global chronostratigraphic correlation are direct functions of the time period under consideration. By virtue of deep-ocean cores and astrochronology, the Cenozoic and Mesozoic time scales carry error bars of a few thousand years (k.y.) to a few hundred k. y. In contrast, most of the Paleozoic time scale carries error bars of plus or minus a few million years (m. y.)
Pathological complete response (pCR) following chemotherapy is strongly associated with both breast cancer subtype and long-term survival. Within a phase III neoadjuvant chemotherapy trial, we sought to determine whether the prognostic implications of pCR, TP53 status and treatment arm (taxane versus non-taxane) differed between intrinsic subtypes. Patients were randomized to receive either six cy
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives and created wide-reaching impacts. Societies worldwide have confronted the crisis with grassroots mobilisation and social resilience. Civil society uncovers injustices by actively participating in the local decentralised pandemic response. This micro-level study provides insight into a long-standing social movement organisation’s framing of the crisis.
The thesis aims to offer an insight into how is Serbian identity re-constituted in the post-conflict period and what role does the European Union play in the process of identity re-construction. Specifically, it aims to discuss the issue of how is Serbian identity being reproduced in relation to the prospect of EU membership. How is the possibility of joining the EU changing the discursive constru
Recent genetic studies have identified alleles associated with opposite effects on adiposity and risk of type 2 diabetes. We aimed to identify more of these variants and test the hypothesis that such favorable adiposity alleles are associated with higher subcutaneous fat and lower ectopic fat. We combined MRI data with genome-wide association studies of body fat percentage (%) and metabolic traits
Zen Buddhists have long given the following advice to attain liberation: “Eat when you’re hungry. Sleep when you’re tired.” In other words: “Freedom” is the “knowledge of necessity” (Hegel, Marx, and Engels). Early Islamic communities dealt with the challenge of internal warfare and tyranny and concluded that, “sixty years of tyranny is better than one day’s anarchy.” In other words, the worst-cas
Objective: To evaluate the consumption of added fats and oils across the European centres and countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design and setting: 24-Hour dietary recalls were collected by means of standardised computer-guided interviews in 27 redefined EPIC centres across 10 European countries. Subjects: From an initial number of
