The aim is to test the reliability of two alcohol screening instruments: (1) The Parent Alcohol Screening Questionnaire (PASQ5), and (2) the Social Support for an Alcohol-free Pregnancy (SSAFP) questionnaire. This is a cohort study from the south of Sweden using repeated surveys during pregnancy. To examine if responses differed according to different data collection methods, two cohorts consistin

Social movements are series of sustained interactions and collective actions, contentious performances, displays and campaigns by ordinary people outside established political institutions. Yet, why do certain movements persist over a significant period of time while some do not? How do those that persist, sustain themselves and overcome constraints over time, especially those imposed by non-liber

Participants: A total of 12 children (24 eyes) with recessive LRPAP1 mutations and associated high myopia.

Beyond biomimicry! We are at a threshold where technology and life converge, where living machines modify and adapt the environments that they construct and persist within. Who is working at this frontier? How are scientists, engineers, programmers, designers and biologists converging to capture organismal construction algorithms from nature and play them back to emerging swarm robotic and digital

INTRODUCTION: Successful treatment of tuberculosis depends to a large extent on good adherence to treatment regimens, which relies on directly observed treatment (DOT). This in turn requires frequent visits to health facilities. High costs to patients, stigma and burden to the health system challenged the DOT approach. Digital adherence technologies (DATs) have emerged as possibly more feasible al

The phenomenon of migration is a highly debated topic in international politics, rising in importance on the global agenda. This can be seen in the securitisation of migration policies of the EU, who has sought to restrict migration and sharpen border controls since mid-70s. In this process Turkey is of vital importance, considered one of the main ‘bridges’ for transit migration into the EU. Thus,

For some time now “Rondellen”, a roundabout just outside Folkets Park in Malmö, has been a place where drug transactions are taking place out in the open street. Buyers know that sellers will be there for a quick and easy transaction in a central part of Malmö. But why are the transactions taking place just there? A lot of people are passing by who can watch them trade or the police can come aroun

This study uses qualitative research by documenting experiences of social workers work-related stress in a governmental organization. The aim of this research is to investigate how social workers experience sense of coherence and how that relates to stress in their work-place. Both of these will hopefully allow for a clearer picture regarding what factors can help create a healthy workplace. Semi-

Tidigare forskning har visat att attraktiva personer bedöms vara mer kompetenta och bättre lämpade i rekryteringssituationer jämfört med mindre attraktiva personer (Hosoda, Stone-Romero & Coats, 2003). Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan attraktivitet och bedömning vid rekryteringar närmre. Hur bedöms attraktiva och oattraktiva individer i förhållande till medelattraktivPrior research shows that in regards to hiring, attractive people are perceived as being more competent and well suited for a job compared to less attractive peers (Hosoda, Stone-Romero & Coats, 2003). The purpose of this study has been to further examine the relationship between attractiveness and ratings of job-candidates. How do attractive and unattractive individuals compare to individuals

Our thesis examines how social services are portrayed and reviewed in media. We chose to focus on two cases from two different townships, brought to attention by a Swedish TV show called Uppdrag granskning during two different coverages. The cases are called “Mardrömmen” and “Processen”. These cases involve children and their families who have been in contact with social services regarding allegat

Arbetstagare som presterar upphovsrättsliga verk inom ramen för en anställning omfattas av två huvudsakliga regelverk: det arbetsrättsliga och det immaterialrättsliga. Inget av regelverken innehåller uttryckliga bestämmelser för sådana verk som uppkommer under en anställning, med undantag för bestämmelsen i 40 a § URL avseende datorprogram. Vägledning får därför sökas i andra rättskällor. AvseendeFor an employee creating property that can be subject to copyright, two regulations apply: the intellectual property law and the employment law. In Swedish statutory law, however, it is not stated when the employer is entitled to take over the copyrights for property created by the employee. This is further complicated by the fact that the copyright law recognises the creator of the property as th

Friande domar i mål om sexualbrott mot barn har upprepade gånger kritiserats i samhällsdebatten. Inte minst i förhållande till att gärningsmän inte ansetts ha haft skälig anledning att anta att målsäganden varit underårig, trots så låga åldrar som 11–12 år. Kritiken har varit befogad sett till de problem som tillämpningen av 6 kap. 13 § brottsbalken innan ändringen den 1 juli 2018 omgavs av. EffekAcquittals in cases of child sexual abuse have repeatedly been criticized in the social debate. Not least when it comes to perpetrators not being considered having reason to assume that a child was under age, although the child being as young as 11-12 years old. The critique has been legitimate when regarding the problems before the change of the statutory regulation on July 1st, 2018. The efficie

Samvets- och religionsfrihet är skyddade rättigheter enligt Europakonventionen. I svensk rätt däremot, skyddas enbart religionsfriheten. Åberopande av samvetsfrihet är inte helt ovanligt vid abortvård, då det finns vårdpersonal som av religiösa och samvetsbetänkliga skäl inte vill delta i sådan vård. Våren 2017 avgjordes ett mål i Arbetsdomstolen som handlade om just en barnmorska som nekats anstäFreedom of conscience and religion are both protected rights under the European Convention, though only the freedom of religion is a protected right under national Swedish law. The right to conscientious objection, on the other hand, is not a protected right according to national Swe-dish law. Conscientious objection is not completely unusual in abortion care, where individuals wish to not partici

We chose to write this essay on how the social services were illustrated and how it was reviewed in the media after the two cases in the municipality of Mark and Sandviken. These cases were brought to attention by Uppdrag granskning, the Swedish TV program, in two different coverages. Moreover, we have emanating from articles, blogs, and chat room conversations and gathered what people have writte

The zoo is a place where you as a visitor can experience and see wild animals which they probably would not encounter elsewhere. It is a place for learning about our planets nature and biodiversity. Many species are rapidly disappearing due to human activity. There are for example more tigers in captivity than there are left in the wild. One of the zoos most important roles is the conservation of

Due to a globalized market place, risk management has grown in importance and become a central part of firms’ corporate strategies. The incentives for engaging in risk reducing activities revolve around reduced agency costs and exploitation of financial advantages. According to the precautionary motive for holding cash, firms must ensure stable and secure access to capital for future investments.
