The aim of this study was to examine how women described their experiences of living with a drug and or alcohol abusing man. A qualitative approach has been used and the study was based on four autobiographical books written by Swedish female authors who either live or have lived with abusive men. The empirical material has been analyzed based on Lazarus and Folkman's theory of coping and Goff

Den svenska stiftelsen är av mycket gammalt ursprung, och idag ryms flera vitt skilda stiftelsetyper inom stiftelsebegreppet. Bland dessa utmärker sig den näringsdrivande stiftelsen. Trots att stiftelsen inte är en association kan den bedriva näringsverksamhet, antingen direkt genom stiftelsen, eller indirekt via näringsdrivande dotterbolag. Under det senaste halvseklet har den näringsdrivande stiThe Swedish foundation (Sw: stiftelse) is of old origin, and today the concept comprises several different types of foundations, among which the enterprise foundation stands out. Though the foundation is not a form of business entity, it can still carry out commercial activities, either directly through the foundation in its own name, or indirectly via subsidiary companies. During the last half-ce

This paper investigates the dynamics of poverty in rural Ethiopia during the period from 1994 to 2009. In order to explore factors that decisively affect the possibility of falling into and exiting out of poverty, the paper uses six rounds of data and employs alternative dynamic probit model which handles the problem of serial correlation, unobserved individual heterogeneity, state dependence and

We study active human visuo-locomotive experience in everyday navigation from the viewpoints of environmental familiarity, embodied reorientation, and (sensorimotor) spatial update. Following a naturalistic, in situ, embodied multimodal behaviour analysis method, we conclude that familiar users rely on environmental cues as a navigation-aid and exhibit proactive decision-making, whereas unfamiliar

Denna uppsats analyserar hur synen på straffets ändamål kommer till ut- tryck i Straffreformutredningen (SOU 2025:66 En straffreform). Syftet är att undersöka vilka straffteoretiska principer som får störst genomslag i utred- ningen och dess tillhörande direktiv, samt vad denna riktning reflekterar för grundläggande föreställningar om straffets funktion. Särskilt fokus ligger på hur straff, i synnThis thesis analyses how the purpose of punishment is articulated in ”Straff- reformutredningen”(the report for the proposed criminal law reform in Swe- den, SOU 2025:66). The aim is to examine which penal theories gain the greatest influence in the report and what this direction reflects in terms of underlying conceptions of the purpose of punishment. Particular attention is paid to how punishmen

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vissa E. coli bakterier kan vara utrustad med arvsanlag (gener) som kodar för vidhäftningsfaktorer, som gör att den kan binda till tarmslemhinnan, eller toxiner som kan orsaka olika typer av tarmsjukdom som diarré. En annan faktorer som kan bidra till att en bakterie kan orsaka infektion är genkassetter, som kodar för en rad av olika gener, som t.ex för upptag av järn, The presence of genes in food, encoding some virulence factors, was studied by PCR, and species of Enterobacteriaceae, associated with food, were studied by the DNA-based methods of TTGE, ribotyping and sequencing. The flora of fresh and chill-stored pork were analysed by a culture-independent approach, using specific amplification of 16S rRNA genes followed by cloning and sequencing. No evidence

Mycorrhizal symbioses are formed between plant root systems and compatible fungal hyphae that results in a complex mixed structure. They are found in all ecosystems and with the majority of land plants such as forest trees or crops that are of commercial interest. Mutual exchange of nutrients between the two symbionts is central to the successful functioning of the symbioses. In order to understan

The timing of the ice margin retreat of the Late Glacial Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) in southern Patagonia has been the object of discussion for many years. In order to resolve questions about the complex response of the PIS to past climate change, any geological interpretation and data modelling need evaluation against an absolute chronology. The aim of this project is to investigate the applicabi

Verification and validation activities take a substantial share of project budgets and need improvements. This is an accepted truth, but the current practices are seldom assessed and analyzed. In this paper we present a qualitative survey of the verification and validation processes at 11 Swedish companies. The purpose was to exchange experience between the companies and to lay out a foundation fo

PURPOSE: To report the lifetime risk of visual impairment resulting from glaucoma in patients originally followed up in a 10-year prospective randomized study initiated in 1981 to assess patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP).DESIGN: Retrospective patient chart review.PARTICIPANTS: Data on deceased patients who initially were followed up prospectively in the randomized controlled study

Cigarette smoking is one of the most important health concerns worldwide. Even though the rate of smoking is declining in developed countries, it is still experiencing growth in developing regions. Many studies have examined the relationship between smoking, as an established risk factor, and cardiovascular diseases. We provide an updated review of the underlying mechanisms of smokinginduced cardi

The sFLASH-experiment has been built at the Free-Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) to study the high-gain-FEL amplification of a laser seed from a high harmonic generation (HHG) source. Ideally, the HHG-seed can be amplified up to a GW-power level, improving both the shot-to-shot stability and the longitudinal coherence of the FEL-pulse. In 2010/2011 the sFLASH-components and sub-systems have been

Context. We present the early installment of the third Gaia data release, Gaia EDR3, consisting of astrometry and photometry for 1.8 billion sources brighter than magnitude 21, complemented with the list of radial velocities from Gaia DR2. Aims. A summary of the contents of Gaia EDR3 is presented, accompanied by a discussion on the differences with respect to Gaia DR2 and an overview of the main l

Modelling tools used in impact assessment procedures can be regarded as tools for communication between science and policy. In order to create an integrated system for modelling not only the scientific components have to be in place but also the science/policy interfaces in the assessment procedures have to be identified and their social dynamics understood.To make a system like SEAMLESS Integrate

Solid grafts of autologous superior cervical ganglia (SCG) or fetal locus coeruleus (LC) were implanted unilaterally into a fimbria-fornix lesion cavity adjacent to the hippocampal formation after a 6-hydroxydopamine lesion of the intrinsic noradrenergic system. Twelve to 15 months after transplantation, one microdialysis probe was implanted in the dorsal hippocampus ipsilateral to the graft, and

The paper aims at examining the levels of social cohesion and socio-economic dysfunctionality in former State Agricultural Farms (post-PGR) areas and at assessing the possibilities for initiating bottom-up actions, and for participating in the creation of mechanisms for local development. Data used in the study was obtained in multimethods approach, i.e. mainly during a questionnaire survey, in-de

Background: Vacations at international nightlife resorts represent an important but also risky element in the lives of youth in many countries. There is an urgent need for evaluating the role played by bars and nightclubs in producing and reducing risks; this task is important, especially at upcoming nightlife resorts with limited experience in managing young partygoers from other countries. Metho

Eastern Northeast Brazil (ENEB) generally experiences a high variability in precipitation in the dry season, with amplitudes that can overcome 500mm. The understanding of this variability can help in mitigating the socio-economic issues related to the planning and management of water resources this region, which is highly vulnerable to drought. This work aims to assess spatio-temporal variability
