Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom ramen för detta forskningsprojekt har det utvecklats två resultat. En operativ teknik – kallad ”Tool for Strategic Territorial Planning (TSTP)” – som hjälper stadsplanerare att visualisera och bättre informera beslutsfattare om vilka effekter olika åtgärder får på fattigdoms bekämpning, har utvecklats. Detta genom att med statistisk information som grund, framställFew planning practices in the South seem to be equipped with key concepts and technical, empirical and administrative capacities required to comprehend and visualize the phenomenon of poverty at inter- and intra-urban levels, which compromises their ability to inform decision-makers on the effects on poverty reduction of the land-based actions they design, implement and monitor. This challenge was

The aim of the paper is to critically review the notion of social capital and review empirical literature on the association between social capital and health across countries. The methodology used for the review includes a systematic search on electronic databases for peer-reviewed published literature. We categorize studies according to level of analysis (single and multilevel) and examine wheth

The galectins are known to be able to recognize and cross-link beta-D-galactopyranoside-containing glycoconjugates as a result of presenting multiple binding sites. This review summarizes efforts in our group for the last ten years towards low-molecular weight chemically modified carbohydrate derivatives. In addition to providing an avenue for improved affinity and galectin-selectivity, we have fo

Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilket skydd svensk lagstiftning stadgar mot barn- och tvångsäktenskap samt bakgrunden till detta skydd och hur skyddet förhåller sig till mänskliga rättigheter samt kulturella och religiösa normer kring äktenskap. Synen på äktenskapets syfte och ingående varierar stort mellan olika normsystem och är till stor del beroende av vilket samhälleThe main purpose of this paper is to investigate what protection Swedish legislation provides against child and forced marriages as well as the background to this protection and how it relates to human rights and cultural and religious norms regarding marriage. The view on matrimonial purpose and conclusion varies greatly between different norm systems and is largely dependent on what kind of soc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bekämpningsmedel och algblomningar - finns det någon koppling? Inom det konventionella jordbruket används idag regelmässigt stora mängder bekämpnings-medel, bara i sverige spreds under år 2001 mer än 1700 ton kemiska bekämpnings-medel på åkrarna. Ett stort problem med användandet av dessa ämnen är risken att de sprids och förorenar den intilliggande naturen. De kan driIn this thesis I have investigated the effects of pesticide exposure on the ecosystem level using various types of experimental ecosystems, i.e. microcosms. The direct effect of exposure to cyperemthrin, a pyretroid insecticide, was a rapid decrease of crustancean zooplankton in enclosures in a lake. In the exposed enclosures the biomass of algae, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliates and bacter

Alcohol and tobacco consumption are closely correlated and published results on their association with breast cancer have not always allowed adequately for confounding between these exposures. Over 80% of the relevant information worldwide on alcohol and tobacco consumption and breast cancer were collated, checked and analysed centrally. Analyses included 58515 women with invasive breast cancer an

BACKGROUND: Individuals with low income have poorer health and should, therefore, have higher health expenditure than people with high income particularly in countries with a universal health care system. However, it has been discussed if social inequities in health diminish with age and we, hence, aimed to analyse this question. METHODS: We performed an age stratified cross-sectional analysis usi

The article uses embodiment and the experiential basis of conceptual metaphor to argue for the metaphorical essence of abstract legal thought. Abstract concepts like ‘law’ and ‘justice’ need to borrow from a spatial, bodily, or physical prototype in order to be conceptualised, seen, for example, in the fact that justice preferably is found ‘under’ law. Three conceptual categories of how law is con

För att en utveckling ska anses hållbar måste mål ur såväl sociala, ekonomiska som miljömässiga aspekter vara uppfyllda. Det svenska miljömålssystemet, baserat på Agenda 2030, innehåller 16 miljökvalitetsmål och ett antal etappmål. För genomförande och uppföljning ansvarar åtta myndigheter, av vilka Boverket har ansvar för målet ”En god bebyggd miljö”. Faktorer som har valts att studera är inomhusFor a development to be considered sustainable, social, economic and environmental requirements must be met. The Swedish sustainable development goals, based on Agenda 2030, contain 16 national environmental quality goals. The National Board of Housing, Building and Planning is responsible for achieving the goal "A good built environment". Essential factors chosen for studies are: indoor environme

Frakturer är ett stort och dessutom ökande samhällsproblem. Genom att stärka skelettet och muskulaturen kan risken för frakturer minskas. Hög fysisk aktivitet är associerad med hög benmassa, gynnsam skelettstruktur, god muskelfunktion och låg risk att drabbas av frakturer. Fysisk aktivitet skulle därför kunna vara en möjlig strategi för att minska antalet frakturer i samhället. Tidigare forskning

This paper extends the application of quantile-based Bayesian inference to probability distributions defined in terms of quantiles of observable quantities. Quantile-parameterized distributions are characterized by high shape flexibility and parameter interpretability, making them useful for eliciting information about observables. To encode uncertainty in the quantiles elicited from experts, we p

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) services in Uganda. In response, digital health tools were rapidly adopted as one of the strategies to restore service delivery. However, the experiences of MNCH professionals implementing these adaptations remain underexplored. This study aimed to explore how MNCH professionals in Uganda experienced
