The digitalisation of adolescents’ everyday lives has created new contexts in which intimate partner violence can occur. Digital intimate partner violence includes controlling, monitoring, and harassing behaviours carried out through digital tools such as social media, messaging applications, and location-sharing services. These behaviours are often normalised among young people, which makes the v
In the field of development economics corruption is considered a major obstacle to economic development. When opportunities to abuse power for self-interest are widespread, inequalities may become reinforced and democratic and economic development will be undermined. Empirical studies have found a negative relationship between gender and corruption implying that increased female participation lowe
The P&I insurance is the shipowners liability insurance and is only provided by the clubs. Sveriges Ångfartygs Assurans Förening (SÅAF) or as it now day is called, the Swedish club, is Swedens P&I-club. P&I stands for protection and indemnity and protects the shipowner from liability. In the world of marine insurance, the P&I insurance differs from the hull insurance. Hull insuranc
Secondary clients: a discourse analysis of affinity and kinship In recent years, a trend has developed in care-giving systems. It was previously thought that care for our elderly, physically disabled or chronically ill relatives and loved ones, was to be provided by and cared for in institutions. As of now, we see a retrograding trend where a lot of the treatment and/or care is to be provided in
Indonesia, one of the most populous countries in the world, is undergoing a major transition to democracy. In the anti-government demonstrations that led to the fall of the authoritarian leadership of Suharto, many university students played an active and significant role. Whereas professionals with an academic background often have a strong influence over the political and societal affairs of a c
Background: The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) is the most widely used scale which assesses psychological resilience. Although it is recommended to be applied as a unidimensional scale, its factor structure, reliability, as well as discriminant and predictive validity need to be assessed when used in a new context. Moreover, the original five-factor structure has not been replicated in
Adaptation is becoming increasingly significant for public policy and practice in dealing with climate change-related risks and achieving sustainable development. Consequently, the exploration of different ways of assisting successful adaptation has brought under scrutiny the different lifestyles of communities all around the world. Most frameworks adopted to understand adaptation among societies
Differences in pancreatic islet susceptibility during type 1 diabetes development may be explained by interislet variations. This study aimed to investigate if heterogeneities in vascular support and metabolic activity in rat and human islets may explain why some islets are attacked earlier than other islets. In rats, highly blood perfused islets were identified by injection of microspheres into t
Preeclampsia is one of the most common causes of perinatal and maternal morbidity/ mortality. One suggested environmental risk factor is exposure to endocrine-disrupting pollutants such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The present case-control study in southern Sweden aims to investigate the hypothesized association between serum concentrations of PFAS in early pregnancy and the risk
Transitional care for adolescents with congenital malformations, such as anorectal malformations (ARM), is described sparsely in the literature and referred to as being inadequate. In order to organize future successful healthcare structures, knowledge of patient-reported important aspects of transition is required. The aim of the study was therefore to explore the needs and expectations of transi
Aims: High expression of the RNA-binding motif protein 3 (RBM3) correlates with improved prognosis in several major types of cancer. The aim of the present study was to examine the prognostic value of RBM3 protein and mRNA expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods and results: Immunohistochemical expression of RBM3 was evaluated in surgically treated NSCLC from two independent pati
Spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) affects ~3.4 million people worldwide each year, causing ~2.8 million deaths. Many randomised controlled trials and high-quality observational studies have added to the evidence base for the management of people with ICH since the last European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guidelines for the management of spontaneous ICH were published in 20
When violence against a child is reported to authorities, it is crucial that its severity is communicated effectively and evaluated accurately by professionals. This study, conducted in two phases, investigated perceptual differences in calibration and accuracy regarding psychological and physical violence against children among parents, social workers, and laypeople. In Phase 1, parents who had w
Reliable and cost-effective operation of structural systems over their service life depends on the implementation of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and maintenance activities, which influence operational costs, the expected costs of failure and downtime. Decision Value Analysis (DVA) provides a framework to quantify the value of such activities by evaluating their effect on total expected life
Purpose: This article problematizes the dominant functionalistic and organization‑centric view of employees’ communication engagement on social media and challenges the assumption that such engagement merely reflects managerial success or failure. Adopting an employee‑centred, relational approach, the study advances the understanding of employees’ communication engagement by foregrounding the tensPurpose: This article problematizes the dominant functionalistic and organization‑centric view of employees’ communication engagement on social media and challenges the assumption that such engagement merely reflects managerial success or failure. Adopting an employee‑centred, relational approach, the study advances the understanding of employees’ communication engagement by foregrounding the tens
By international standards, children in Sweden experience good health. Sweden has low infant mortality rates, low accident mortality rates, a high number of breastfed children and a high proportion of vaccinated children. However, during the past twenty years the prevalence of overweight children has doubled in Sweden, while that of obese children has increased 4-5 times. Furthermore, there has be
For construction in rock a thorough pre-investigation is important in order to avoid unforeseen conditions which may delay the work. It is crucial to remember the results from this investigation in the further work, and use the experience from the construction to update the geological prognosis and reduce the uncertainties. Different geophysical methods have proved valuable tools in such investiga
The neuropeptide galanin is considered to be an endogenous antiepileptic agent, presumably acting via inhibition of glutamate release. Previously, we have demonstrated that in mice ectopically overexpressing galanin in cortical and hippocampal neurons, particularly in granule cells and their axons, the mossy fibers, hippocampal kindling epileptogenesis is suppressed and is associated with attenuat
A 3D model is developed to describe an anode-supported planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), by ANSYS/Fluent evaluating reactions including methane steam reforming (MSR)/water-gas shift (WGSR) reactions in thick anode layer and H-2-O-2/CO-O-2 electrochemical reactions in anode active layer, coupled with heat, mass species, momentum, and ion/electron charges transport processes in SOFC. The predicte
A systemic nature of allergic diseases has been hypothesized. As part of this discussion, we studied if adolescent allergic wheeze and increasing combinations of allergic organ involvements (lung, nose and skin) would also increase the reporting of other health problems (headache, muscle pain and abdominal pain). In addition, we studied if parental asthma was associated with adolescent clustering
