Contemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities.

The preaching event is a complex process of communication and interpretation. The aim of this study is to describe and discuss how the preaching event is affected when it is digitally mediated and involves so-called “religious digital creatives” (RDCs). This is achieved through a case study of the preaching event at two Church of Sweden (CoS) congregations that offered pre-recorded, digitally medi

Bakgrund och syfte Arbetsmiljön för veterinärer i Sverige har på senare tid uppmärksammats i media med larm om hög arbetsbelastning, höga sjukskrivningstal och bristfälliga arbetsförhållanden. En studie i Norge har visat att 30 % av veterinärerna har psykiska problem och att självmordstankar är vanliga. Övrig internationell forskning har visat hur etiska konflikter och moralisk stress i allt högre

Håkan Hardenberger, MSOs hedersartist, tar oss med till Österrike och Ungern på en resa från det välkända och populära till det bisarra och äventyrliga. Inledningen till Haydns oratorium Skapelsen må ha titeln ”Föreställningen om kaos”, men nog låter det ganska harmoniskt och ordnat. Likaså hans populära Trumpetkonsert, som är ett av de första stora verken som skrevs för kromatisk trumpet. Kontras

Purpose:The purpose is to identify factors influencing the environmental sustainability of e-commerce packaging across its lifecycle.Design/methodology/approach:A systematic literature review captured 45 articles. To categorise the literature, a conceptual framework based on a lifecycle perspective was developed. An actor perspective analysed their influence and responsibilities.Findings:Five fact

OBJECTIVES: To compare sociodemographic, clinical, and suicide-specific characteristics between younger old (aged 65-74) and older old (aged 75+) adults who died by suicide in 2015, and to identify clinically relevant subgroups in the entire study cohort 65+ through cluster analysis.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study.SETTING: All health care units across Sweden.PARTICIPANTS: Individuals aged 65+ w

In ongoing research, several concepts of “next-generation” cross laminated timber (CLT) are being investigated aiming at creating innovative and optimized CLT-alike products. In the project InnoTLT (“Innovative Tailored LaminatedTimber”) one main aim is to show how today’s CLT production could be made more material efficient by introducing alternative geometries, including large gaps between lamin

INTRODUCTION: Women remain underrepresented in studies on immunological response (IR) among virally suppressed people living with HIV. Despite receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) some individuals do not attain an IR, increasing their risk of non-AIDS morbidity and mortality. This nationwide study investigated biomedical and social factors associated with IR among women with HIV in Sweden.METHOD

Vehicle models are often bound by non-disclosure agreements with manufacturers.This thesis presents a vehicle model based on vehicle data gathered for the NationalAdvanced Driving Simulator in Ohio and therefore it is not bound by such limitationsand can be used in future research projects.The development and validation of the vehicle model requires understanding of thesubsystems studied, componen

Katarzyna Herd, in this chapter, explores how inequalities and discriminatory practices in Swedish football manifest themselves in a country famous for its liberal and inclusive policies. She recognises that Sweden like most European countries has become a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society which is clearly reflected in Swedish football. After considering the emergence and (contested) social

PURPOSE: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the impact of a gluten-free diet (GFD) on β-cell function and glucose tolerance in persons with multiple islet autoantibodies.METHODS: Individuals (n = 59; median age 11 years) with multiple islet autoantibodies were recruited to a randomized clinical trial between April 2016 and April 2021. The participants were randomized to a GFD (n

We comment on the consequences of the target article for language evolution research. We propose that the default assumption should be that of language-readiness in extinct hominins, and the integration of different types of available evidence from multiple disciplines should be used to assess the likely extent of the realization of this readiness. The role of archaeological evidence should be rec

Objectives To study neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) levels in peripheral blood in SLE, and to propose a mechanism by which neutrophils secrete NGAL on stimulation with immune complexes (IC). Methods NGAL was measured by ELISA in two independent Swedish SLE cohorts acting as exploratory and validation cohort (n=124 and n=308, respectively), disease controls (n=38) and healthy cont

Many artificial systems simulate the physiological state of the human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its separate compartments. These systems have the biorelevant media and imitate the physical forces and transit times of the GIT compartments, however, they lack the food-related and within-compartmental regulations and thus issues with translation of the data obtained to clinics arise. We aimed

It is increasingly recognized that feelings of incompleteness and not just right experiences are important emotional and sensory processes underpinning obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Such experiences refer to uncomfortable sensations that something is not right or not in its proper order, and they are typically accompanied by urges to perform behavioral or mental actions until it feels just
