Economic divisions have deepened in Sweden in recent years, and lone mothers are one group where the poverty rate has increased most (Salonen 2014). At the same time, di erences between the situations of lone mothers have also increased (Lundqvist 2014). As a consequence, intergenerational support from grandparents in terms of care and nancial transfers are important (see also Halleröd 2008). Thi
The Lund professor Sven Nilsson achieved international fame in the nineteenth century in such diverse subjects as geology, zoology, and archaeology. This man of contrasts is described as brilliant but temperamental and touchy, assertive, with a fondness for sensation but simultaneously highly sensitive to criticism. His research on faunal history was pioneering, and many of the results are still v
On the 24th of January in 2004 a portrait of Reem Raiyshi and her son was published in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet. In a short notice the reader was informed that on the 14th of January Reem Raiyshi had killed herself in a terrorist attack at a border crossing between Israel and Gaza. The picture, a still frame from a video, was bought by Aftonbladet from AFP, but has also circulated on the
Blastocystis is an enteric protozoan purportedly associated with numerous clinical cases of diarrhea, flatulence, vomiting, and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Despite new knowledge of Blastocystis cell biology, genetic diversity, and epidemiology, its pathogenic potential remains controversial. Numerous clinical and epidemiological studies either implicate or exonerate the parasite as a cause of
Planning and execution of large infrastructure projects benefit from detailed mapping of the subsurface through geophysical methods. However applying geophysical methods in an urban environment requires careful preparation to ensure success in areas where source of noise and present infrastructure may compromise the results. We present and discuss the results of a seismic investigation conducted i
Conceptually, this paper is about the becoming of states and how such states are a socially constructed spaces, imagined and performed by those who perceive themselves as belonging to that state. It asks through what imaginaries and performative practices does a state come into being? More specifically, the paper investigates how the state is imagined and performed in times of war and peace hoping
This chapter explores the Nordic countries’ attempts to reconcile their environmental front-runner ambitions with their high productivity as advanced welfare states. On the one hand, the Nordics have taken leading positions in promoting environmental issues on the international stage. On the other hand, however, their high productivity, which is needed to support their welfare aspirations, has mad
Thefirst reported applications of laser sheet imaging for the study of atomizing sprays date from the mid 1980th.Since those early tries, blurring effects from the light being scattered multiple times by the surrounding dropletswere already observed and reported. While s trategies in suppressing part of this multiple light scatteringcontribution, were known for transmission imaging (e. spatial Fou
Objectives To examine the long term mortality associated with preterm delivery in a large population based cohort of women, and to assess for potential confounding by shared familial factors. Design National cohort study. Setting Sweden. Participants All 2 189 477 women with a singleton delivery in 1973-2015. Main outcome measures All cause and cause specific mortality up to 2016, identified from
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to numerically study the influence of wall conduction on the heat transfer of supercritical n-decane in the active regenerative cooling channels. Design/methodology/approach: A horizontally placed rectangular pipe with a solid zone and another one without a solid zone were used. A drastic variation of thermo-physical properties was emphatically addressed. Afte
