Sales statistics indicate large variations in benzodiazepine consumption between the Scandinavian countries: the current difference between Denmark (highest) and Sweden (lowest) is almost two-fold. There are also large within-country variations: e.g. benzodiazepine sales in the Swedish city of Helsingborg, which is close to Denmark, were at the average Danish level and were the highest in Sweden.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) and the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) require ambitious policies for existing buildings. One important aspect of policy design is to understand the decision making of building owners and investors. Governments can support such decisions with grants, but public funds can only cover part of the investments. Hence, schemes need to be well-design
Objectives Male breast cancer is a rare disease of largely unknown aetiology. In addition to genetic and hormone-related risk factors, a large number of environmental chemicals are suspected of playing a role in breast cancer. The identification of occupations or occupational exposures associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer in men may help to identify mammary carcinogens in the en
The research area of Digitalization and Privacy, as defined and delimited within the context of this knowledge review, (mainly through the selection of search strings), is in a phase of development. The present study has been delimited to articles in English that have been published in scientific peer-reviewed journals. During the past ten years, the number of scientific articles per year has incr
Global warming will unquestionably increase the impact of heat on individuals who work in already hot workplaces in hot climate areas. The increasing prevalence of this environmental health risk requires the improvement of assessment methods linked to meteorological data. Such new methods will help to reveal the size of the problem and design appropriate interventions at individual, workplace and
Objective: To compare mortality and costs of health and social care between participants with access to care based on Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) in an out-patient care setting with a control group receiving usual care only. The comparison was done 36 months after inclusion. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Inclusion criteria: community-dwelling, aged ≥75 years, ≥3 hospitalisatio
Cytogenetic analyses of a consecutive series of 67 paediatric (median age 8 years; range 0-17) de novo acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) patients revealed aberrations in 55 (82%) cases. The most common subgroups were KMT2A rearrangement (29%), normal karyotype (15%), RUNX1-RUNX1T1 (10%), deletions of 5q, 7q and/or 17p (9%), myeloid leukaemia associated with Down syndrome (7%), PML-RARA (7%) and CBFB-M
Förhållandet mellan brottsoffers yttrandefrihet, förövares rätt till privatliv och förtalsbrottet är en fråga som blev aktuell i samband med #metoo-rörelsen, då kvinnor öppet via sociala medier delade med sig av sina erfaren-heter av sexuellt våld och sedan dömdes för förtal. Trots att #metoo-rörelsen i skrivande stund inte har samma intensitet förekommer det fortfarande lik-nande situationer. I sThe balance between victims’ freedom of expression, offenders right to respect for their private life and the crime of defamation, became a topical issue in Sweden, in connection with the #MeToo movement, where women who shared their experiences of sexual violence through social media, later were convicted of defamation. Although the #MeToo movement is no longer as intense, similar situations stil

Kognitiva bias omfattar flertalet systematiska avvikelser från rationellt tänkande. Anchoring är ett sådant bias där människor tenderar att förlita sig för mycket på en initial siffra eller information i beslutsfattande eller bedömningar. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ankareffekten i allvarlighetsbedömningar av möjliga hotbilder mot Sveriges totalförsvar. Två hypoteser prövades: (1) AnCognitive biases encompass numerous systematic deviations from rational thinking. Anchoring is one such bias, where individuals tend to rely too heavily on an initial number or information when making decisions or judgements. The purpose of the following study was to examine the anchoring effect in severity assessments of potential threats towards Sweden’s total defence. The experiment tested two
INTRODUCTION Globally, 20% of women who become pregnant are obese at the time of conception. The prevalence of women becoming pregnant after gastric bypass (GBP) surgery has been increasing.

Introduction: Reaching universal coverage of assistive technologies remains a challenge in many low- and middle-income countries. Tajikistan has recently adopted several policies and national strategies to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities and improve the provision of assistive products.

INTRODUCTION: The ability to provide primary care with the help of a digital platform raises both opportunities and risks. While access to primary care improves, overuse of services and medication may occur. The use of digital care technologies is likely to continue to increase and evidence of its effects, costs and distributional impacts is needed to support policy-making. Since 2016, the number
Environmental destruction has long been used as a military strategy in times of conflict. A long-term example of environmental destruction in a conflict zone can be found in Dersim/Tunceli province, located in Eastern Turkey. In the last century, at least two military operations negatively impacted Dersim’s population and environment: 1937–38 and 1993–94. Both conflict and environmental destructio
File sharing programs have changed the music industry in the last few years, as a lot of Internet users have started to download music. While the access to music has spread though the population of most countries, music sales have also dropped. The music industry has been pressuring political institutions to change laws to protect music copyrights. Sweden and Spain are two different countries with
Popular Abstract in English Plant diseases are directly associated with food security because they result in severe reduction of plant yield and thus they add to the scarcity of foods in the world, which can lead to negative repercussions on humankind. Late blight disease that severely hit Ireland in 1840s, which was caused by Phytophthora infestans and is mentioned in the historical records as thAbstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. infestans, there is a need to explore several new approaches th

The thesis focuses on the evolving relationship between art and its reproduction in the digital age on the one hand, and the contemporary observer on the other. The research focuses on art reproduction by means of virtual reality (VR) techniques, and delves into the history of art reproduction from antiquity to modern methods. It adopts a phenomenological approach, scrutinizing two case studies: R
HR indicators are increasingly used as a method for analysis in the work with human rights. However, the concept of HR indicators is often subject to confusion due to the lack of a common and universal theoretical framework. This study focuses on the elaboration of HR indicators for state reporting within the UN treaty monitoring bodies and argues that an extended and more coherent use of HR indic
