Våld i nära relationer, och då främst mäns våld mot kvinnor, utgör ett erkänt samhällsproblem. En särskilt utsatt grupp är våldsutsatta kvinnor med osäker uppehållsrätt som kommit till Sverige på anknytning till en svensk man. Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence. Their migration status depends on that of their spouse, and they receive only a temporary residence permit. If the relationship is broken, the conditions for the residence permit are no longer present and the woma

In light of alarming reports on devastating effects of deforestation, the UNFCCC initiated in 2005 REDD+; a climate scheme designed to halt deforestation and mitigate emissions from forest degradation. Despite being met with enthusiastic approval at top level, the scheme has been met with resistance by local forest community groups. Displaying the core characteristics of a depoliticized policy iss

Skyddet för folkhälsan är det bakomliggande värde som genomsyrat utformningen av svensk alkohollagstiftning. Inträdet i EU och internets framväxt har emellertid genererat nya frågeställningar, däribland under vilka förutsättningar svenska alkoholproducenter får marknadsföra sig i sociala medier. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod utreds vilka möjligheter inhemska alkoholproducenter har att marknadsföraThe goal to protect public health is the essential value that has set the foundation for the Swedish Alcohol Act. Nonetheless, both Sweden’s entry into the EU and the Internet’s growth has generated new questions on this issue, for example under which circumstances Swedish alcohol producers are allowed to market themselves on social media. By using a Legal dogmatic method, Swedish producers’ oppor

Syftet med arbetet är att utreda om faderskapspresumtionen har spelat ut sin roll i ett modernt samhälle. Jag har använt mig av rättsdogmatisk metod och inleder med att utreda rättsläget för att sedan presentera de alternativ som finns till nuvarande reglering. Är en moder gift med en man vid sitt barns födsel ska denne anses som barnets far. Detta kallas ”pater est”-regeln och ger uttryck för deThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether the paternity presumption has been outdated in a modern society. I have based the work on legal dogmatic method and begin by investigating the legal position to continue by presenting potential options to current regulations.

Through qualitative methods, six women students have contributed with their stories, thoughts and ideas of gender normative systems at the school. The interviews form the basis of the analysis in which three theoretical perspectives have been integrat

This project got inspired by Alastair Humphreys‘ book ”Microadventures. Micro adventures are small escapes from daily life which should be ”short, simple, close to the home and cheap” as Humphreys writes. For me, the epitome of micro-adventures is staying one night out in nature - an activity that shouldn’t afford a lot of gear, knowledge, money, or time and should be accessible for everyone. Foc

The final chapter presents a summary of the key themes and insights from the Elgar Handbook as workshopped in Dublin in October 2023 and developed by the named authors. Health system resilience is a potent and useful concept which has shown a versatility and appeal across a range of health system crises. Nevertheless, it still needs to gain maturity with key challenges around understanding and mea

Definition of older age in AML is arbitrary. In the context of the clinical studies, it starts with age ≥ 60 or ≥65 years and in recent years ≥70 or 75, depending on the selection of the studied population. In clinical practice, with older age we often mean that the patient is unfit for intensive chemotherapy. Higher age overlaps with categories such as worse performance status, unfitness, co-morb

The need to make consumption patterns more sustainable is widely acknowledged, yet effective policies for sustainable consumption are lacking. This article examines Nordic policy makers' views on why sustainable consumption research is difficult to apply in policy practice. We draw on the knowledge brokering literature to outline how the challenges of knowledge utilization in policy are connected

In 1980, Sweden was a highly regulated economy with several state monopolies and low levels of economic freedom. Less than twenty years later, liberal reforms turned Sweden into one of the world's most open economies with a remarkable increase in economic freedom. While there is resilience when it comes to high levels of taxes and expenditure shares of GDP, there has been a profound restructuring

District heating is well expanded in the residential areas in Sweden, although not in detached house areas, where it is often impaired with problems of low heat density, large heat losses and high construction costs. However, due to the changes on the electricity market, increased environmental concerns and technological improvements, the detached houses’ sector is a potential market for district

Background Clinical experience indicates that patients declining participation in randomised clinical trials (RCTs) at the time of surgery are older, less healthy and of lower social status than patients accepting to participate, compromising the external validity of the RCT and bringing the non-participants in higher risk at surgery. To our knowledge, no studies exist on patients with hazardous

BACKGROUND: Carcinoids are rare indolent neuroendocrine tumors, mainly located in bowel, stomach, and lung. Their etiology is virtually unknown although a family history is a minor cause.METHODS: Site specific incidence trends and several risk factors of carcinoid tumors were studied based on the nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database of 10.2 million individuals and their more than 1 million tu

We used pooled individual data from the Swedish Collaboration on Health Effects of Snus Use to assess this association. Methods: A total of 417,872 male participants from nine cohort studies a

Chronic handicap in early life may have a long-term impact on children's psychosocial well-being. Here, we investigated whether Brachialis Plexus Birth Injury (BPBI)-an unpredictable injury at birth-is associated with worse mental health later on, as indicated by prescription and use of psychotropic drugs in adolescence. We explored further whether this association is different depending on socioe

Introduction: Endometriosis is a benign disease that affects women of reproductive age. Laparoscopic excision of endometriotic implants is considered one of the most effective therapeutic options. The disease and its treatment can have a major impact on psychosexual well-being but this is often overlooked as most studies focus on pain instead of sexuality in a holistic approach. The aim of this st

Sweden is often cited as one of the starkest examples of a country where corporatist policy structures and centralized wage bargaining produced remarkable economic and social outcomes in the postwar golden years. Not surprisingly, previous explanations for Sweden’s full employment period have emphasized this set of labor market institutions which was in place from the 1950s. Alternatively, tempora
