The aim of this thesis is to uncover the determining factors behind the feminisation of the Swedish bank sector 1910-1939, through analysis of time-series and the Union periodical Bankvärlden. Economic and institutional explanations are tried, from a structural-analytical and gender perspective. The results show that feminisation was most rapid during the 1910’s, driven by a strong demand for labo
OBJECTIVE: To examine temporal changes in late diagnosis of HIV (LD) among migrant and non-migrant people with HIV in Sweden 2003-2023 and to assess demographic and socioeconomic risk factors for LD in these two populations.METHODS: People with HIV diagnosed with HIV-1 in Sweden 2003-2023 were included (n = 6278). LD was defined as a first CD4+ T-cell count <350 cells/μL or an AIDS-defining event
BackgroundLongitudinal data on weight change, its timing, and the age of obesity onset in relation to cause-specific mortality are limited.MethodsFrom ODDS, a nationwide pooled cohort study in Sweden, we included 258,269 men and 361,784 women with at least three weight assessments between ages 17 and 60, collected in 1963–2015. We applied linear mixed-effects models to estimate weight trajectories
Political communication research has long sought to understand the effects of cross-cutting exposure on political participation. Here, we argue for a paradigm shift that acknowledges the agency of citizens as producers of cross-cutting expression on social media. We define cross-cutting expression as political communication through speech or behavior within a counter-attitudinal space. After expli
Closed-form approximations of the expected per-terminal signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) and ergodic sum spectral efficiency of a multiuser multiple-input multiple-output system are presented. Our analysis assumes spatially correlated Ricean fading channels with maximum-ratio combining on the uplink. Unlike previous studies, our model accounts for the presence of unequal correlation
This book is meant as a guide to the evidence available for different conservation interventions and as a starting point in assessing their effectiveness. The assessments are based on the available evidence for the target group of species for each intervention. The assessment may therefore refer to different species or habitat to the one(s) you are considering. Before making any decisions about im
The Port of Rotterdam is an important industrial cluster, comprising mainly oil refining, chemical production and power generation. In 2016, the port's industry accounted for 19% of the Netherlands’ total CO2 emissions. The Port of Rotterdam Authority is aware that the cluster is heavily exposed to future decarbonisation policies, as most of its activities focus on trading, handling, converting an
Background Health challenges like coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are becoming increasingly complex, transnational, and unpredictable. Studying health system responses to the COVID-19 pandemic is an opportunity to enhance our understanding of health system resilience and establish a clearer link between theoretical concepts and practical ideas on how to build resilience. Methods This narrative
The role of informality in African citizens’ everyday survival reflects the strategies and attitudes of citizens towards state plans and policies. This chapter dissociates the discussion of temporary urbanism from its typical Global North perspective to explore how this concept plays out in a Southern context, namely Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We look at the relationships between temporary urban set
Although the move to the center of many European Social Democratic par- ties in the 1990s was first rewarded with victories, these parties have since faced a remarkable electoral drought.What explains the seeming inability of these catchall parties to cast a wider but sustainable net for voters? Incorpo- rating a temporal dimension helps explain when and why the broadening of party platforms fails
AbstractThe building sector in Sweden and Europe is a major energy consumer, accounting for around 40% of total energy use. It is a challenge to optimize available technical and social strategies for the fragmented construction industry. Professionals such as architects and different building engineers play a crucial role in the technology adoption process.This study aims to contribute to the unde
This chapter explores the interaction between competition law and especially Article 101(3) TFEU and environmental and climate change goals in the context of the EU’s Green Deal and the aim of energy transition. First, it reviews the evolution of the Commission’s and national authorities’ approaches to environmental and climate benefits in their general assessment of horizontal and vertical agreem
High latitude mires are key ecosystems in the context of climate change since they store large amounts of carbon while constituting an important natural source of methane (CH4). However, while a growing number of studies have investigated methane fluxes (FCH4) at the plot- (~1 m2) and ecosystem-scale (~0.1–0.5 km2) across the boreal biome, variations of FCH4 magnitudes and drivers at the mesoscale
Current literature describes digital nomadism as an interesting for tourism research but a relatively exclusive social phenomenon (Chevtaeva & Denizci-Guillet, 2021; Thompson, 2019). Digital nomads are self-employed people with a mobile lifestyle made possible by digital work. Based on that description, it would seem like a research field with limited societal significance. However, the call f
In this paper, a view will be given on the establishment of large scale science facilities in Lund, Sweden, recognizing some of the recent political changes of this region around the end of 20th century and start of the 21st. During this time the well-renowned social democratic welfare politics in Sweden gave way to a more pragmatic third way politics with clear marks of a neoliberalist housing ma
Entreprenadavtal är förknippat med ett antal särdrag och betraktas vanligen som en avtalstyp. Det finns ingen direkt tillämplig lagstiftning som reglerar parternas rättigheter och skyldigheter i kommersiella entreprenadavtal. Denna avtalstyp regleras istället i stor omfattning av entreprenadbranschens standardavtal. Det förhärskande standardavtalet på området är AB 04. Utmärkande för entreprenadavConstruction contracts are associated with a number of special features. There is a general lack of directly applicable legal rules addressing the parties’ obligations in construction contracts. Instead, standard forms are predominantly used for commercial ventures in the construction industry. The most dominant standard form in Sweden is AB 04. Construction contracts is characterized by its gener
Det svenska häktningsinstitutet har under decennier återkommande fått kritik från internationella konventionskommittéer. Den mest framträdande kritiken Sverige fått vidkännas har kommit från Europarådets kommitté för förhindrande av tortyr, Förenta nationernas kommitté mot tortyr och FN:s kommitté för barnets rättigheter. De två förstnämnda är kommittéer med sin grund i konventioner som avser allaFor decades, the Swedish Remand Institute has received repeated criticism from international convention committees. The most prominent criticism Sweden has received has come from the Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the United Nations Committee against Torture and the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The first two are committees based on conventions that app
