Background: The water supply in the Gaza Strip, Palestine, has been unstable and under strain for decades, resulting in major issues with drinking water quality, reliability, and acceptability. In 2018, between 25% and 30% of Gazans did not have regular access to running water. The progressive deterioration of water infrastructure and concerns over the quality of piped water have resulted in a com

crataegi Germar, 1824. The first specimen was found in the city of Malmö in the southernmost province of Sweden in the beginning of October 2020, where one individual had taken shelter from a heavy morning rain on a house wall, together with several other beetle species. The species was subsequently sought after during late autumn and winter by sifting litter beneath putative host plants, but it c

Popular Abstract in Swedish I början av 1980-talet rökte ungefär var tredje gravid kvinna i Sverige. Detta innebar att rökning under graviditet var lika vanligt förekommande som rökning bland den vuxna befolkningen i övrigt. Sedan dess har rökningen bland gravida minskat markant och idag är det ungefär 10-12% som röker vid inskrivningen på mödravårdscentralen. Rökning under graviditet är en av deA smoking cessation program targeting pregnant women and their partners was monitored during 17 years and subjected to several substudies. All women in Blekinge, who gave birth in the months of September during the period 1984 to 2000, were asked to fill out a questionnaire, anonymously, about their smoking habits before and during pregnancy. During these years a long-term educational programme co

Background: Periampullary adenocarcinomas are a heterogenous group of tumours with poor prognosis that hasnot improved considerably the last decades. Tumour morphology, i.e. intestinal type (I-type) or pancreatobiliarytype (PB-type), has been demonstrated to be a more relevant prognostic factor than anatomical origin. Tumourinfiltrating immune cells are vital in shaping the natural progress of canBackground: Periampullary adenocarcinomas are a heterogenous group of tumours with poor prognosis that hasnot improved considerably the last decades.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and often causes pain and functional impairment. Despite its high burden on society, knowledge about the occurrence of OA and its associated mortality is sparse. The epidemiology of OA is difficult to determine due to the patients’ fluctuating symptoms and challenges in detecting and defining the radiographic disease. The specific aims of th

Importance To our knowledge, there is no consensus regarding when individuals who repeatedly self-harm and are at risk of suicide should be hospitalized. To evaluate a new alternative, we examined the effects of brief admission (BA) to hospital by self-referral.Objectives To determine the effects of BA on inpatient service use and on secondary outcomes of daily life functioning, nonsuicidal self-i

En av de största utmaningarna i modern tid är att på ett hållbart sätt producera mat och andra varor för en ökande global befolkning, utan att utsätta mark- och vattenresurser för ytterligare belastning och därmed ha negativ inverkan på människors livskvalitet. Storskaligt jordbruk har genererat många fördelar för människan gällande matproduktion, men har även bidragit till många hållbarhetsutmaniA major challenge of our time is to sustainably produce food and other goods for a growing global population, without putting additional pressures on land and water resources and local people’s quality of life. Large-scale agriculture has brought many benefits to humanity in terms of food production but has also caused multiple sustainability challenges, including land and water degradation, defor

AIMS: To describe the occurrence of psychiatric diagnoses in a specialist care setting in older people with intellectual disability (ID) in relation to those found in the same age group in the general population.METHOD: A cohort of people with ID (n = 7936), aged 55 years or more in 2012, was identified, as was an age and sex-matched cohort from the general population (n = 7936).

The present thesis explores perceptions about if and how are the EU norms adopted, adapted, resisted or rejected in the case of Kosovo. Moreover, a comparison between two parts within Kosovo will be conducted: a northern part with Serbian majority and the "rest of Kosovo" with Albanian majority. The objective is to investigate the effect of the EU normative power in different parts of a

The aim of this essay is to explain which conditions may lay behind the emergence of the political consumer, focusing on globalization, individualism and the increase of consumerism as a result of the rise of global political issues such as climate change. Thereafter, the portrayal of this transition will be investigated in Swedish media by comparing debate articles considering environmental and c

Recent studies focusing on the analysis of emissions embodied in trade have shown that high-income countries are increasingly becoming net importers of emissions. This is commonly explained by the economies’ changing trade specialization in heavy and light industrial goods. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare the trade specialization patterns of twelve Anglophone and Nordic co

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka upplevelsen hos deltagare med spindelrädsla som deltagit i Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) för spindelrädsla. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes vid uppföljning en vecka efter behandling med nio deltagare. Det samlade materialet analyserades med tematisk analys vilket ledde till tre huvudteman och fem underteman. De tre huvudtemana var RThe aim of this study was to explore the experiences of participants with fear of spiders who underwent Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) for fear of spiders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted one week after VRET with nine participants. The collected material was analyzed using thematic analysis which led to the identification of three main themes and five subthemes. The themes were:

The last decades have shown increased nitrogen leeching from soil to water recipients. This is in Sweden mainly due to over-manuring of agriculture land, effectivization of drainage systems and the declining extent of wetlands. The accumulated amount of nitrogen in water doesn’t only make it unsuitable for use by humans and cattle, but also decreases the biological diversity as well as negatively

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Småvatten i form av dammar och våtmarker har en viktig funktion i både den terrestra och akvatiska miljön. De fungerar till exempel som buffert för näringsämnen från att flöda ut i havet och dem ökar den biologiska mångfalden bland växter och djur. De flesta antropogena småvattnen har sitt ursprung från 1800-talet och 1900-talets början, då näringsrik märgelleraSmall water bodies in the shape of ponds and wetlands have an important function in both the terrestrial and the aquatic environment. They serve as a buffer to prevent rash out-flow of nutrients into the oceans and they maintain biological diversity for plants and animals. Most anthropogenic small waters originated in the 19th century and beginning of 20th century. During this time, good fertilizi

This thesis answers questions of what it is that constitutes a struggle enclosing the conflict between Ungdomshuset and the municipality of Copenhagen during the years of 2006-2008 and what this struggle produces in terms of different stories and different futures. The purpose is to create a link between a poststructuralist critique and a critical theoretical strategy as the thesis argues that suc

This paper examines the relationship between ultra-low interest rates and the amount of zombie firms using panel data for Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland over the period 2007-2020 in a multivariable regression model. Specifically, the questions addressed are: is there a relationship between the interest rate and the amount of zombie firms? Could it be concluded that the amount of zombie firms

Sweden faces an upcoming period where thousands of buildings built during the million program period will be in need of a façade renovation. There is a large energy-saving potential in these buildings, since they are often poorly insulated and often have a ventilation system without heat recovery. Performing energy-efficient renovation measures to a building are expensive, which results in that th
