The functioning of modern societies is highly dependent on flows, relying on timely deliveries of goods and services. Critical flows are those particularly important, e.g., electricity, food, and pharmaceuticals. Infrastructures upholding flows often transgress national borders, where a disruption can escalate into wide-spread crises. Continuity of critical flows is hence of outmost importance und
Critical infrastructures (CIs) and the services they provide are imperative for the functioning of societies. CI safety and security have historically been addressed and regulated on a sectoral basis, despite their interdependent nature. These silo-structures potentially hinder achieving resilience from a system-of-systems governance perspective. Cross-sectoral initiatives addressing interdependen

BACKGROUND: Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) is an adverse effect of antiresorptive treatment. This study estimated incidence proportions and incidence rates of ONJ in cancer patients with bone metastases from solid tumors treated for the prevention of skeletal-related events in routine clinical practice.METHODS: This cohort study in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in 2011-2018 included 3 treatment coho
AIMS: To characterize changes in patterns of adolescent substance use in Sweden between 1988 and 2011, and to assess whether sex and psychosomatic problems were associated with substance use and whether these associations changed over time.DESIGN: Secondary analysis of repeated cross-sectional survey data. Survey data were collected eight times and analyzed as four cohorts (1988-91, 1995-98, 2002-
BACKGROUND: Internalizing problems have increased among Swedish adolescents. We examined whether classroom disorder was associated with internalizing problems and whether it explained the trends in internalizing problems. Furthermore, we examined whether school contextual factors were associated with internalizing problems and whether they moderated the association between classroom disorder and i
We compared the mental health of native and immigrant adolescents in Sweden from 1995 to 2011 and examined whether the municipality-level proportion of immigrant adolescents moderated the association between individual-level immigrant status and mental health. The sample (14,189 adolescents aged 15-16) was obtained from a repeated cross-sectional study conducted from 1995 to 2011. Adolescent self-
BACKGROUND: Alcohol use has decreased among Swedish adolescents in the past few decades. We examined peer and parent factors (i.e. time spent with peers, time spent with parents and parental monitoring) that could contribute to explaining this trend by investigating their main effects and interaction effects with investigation years on alcohol use. We furthermore examined whether municipality-leve
It has been commonly assumed that post-adolescent youth have fewer political discussions with parents than do adolescents, due to transitional events in young adulthood and the emergence of new age-appropriate socializing agents, like peers, colleagues, and romantic partners. We proposed a contrasting view that post-adolescent youth have more frequent political discussions with parents due to thei
Increasing inequality in many societies highlights the importance of paying attention to differences in mentalhealth between the economically disadvantaged adolescents and the non-disadvantaged adolescents. Also im-portant is to understand how changing inequality in society over time influences adolescents’mental health atthe population- and individual-level. The current study examined to what ext
How parents and adolescents perceive each other’s life values is a key to understanding successful value transmission. In the value socializations literature, it has been proposed that parents’ values become internalized when children correctly perceive their parents’ values and decide to adopt them as their own. In the current study, we propose that interpersonal value perception of broader life
The role played by the Internet in young people’s political lives has received great research attention. However, two gaps in the literature hinder the drawing of conclusions on how online political participation is related to its offline counterpart. First, although there are multiple hypotheses on the nature of the relationship, they have not been compared in any single study. Second, although t
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between social engagement and motivation to share knowledge in a hybrid college class using a web infused curriculum. Online social engagement, operationalized through concepts such as connectivity, social presence and social space has been an important topic of research in web based education for more than a decade. An important sub-text of this resea
This paper developed a Democratic Classroom Survey to measure students' perceived democratic environment of the classroom. Perceived democratic environment is one of the most important variables for understanding classroom activity and indeed any type of group activity, but actually measuring perceptions in an objective manner has been problematic. We developed the survey items from both a strong
In this study, a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) - based nomenclature system have been used for the classification of groundwater samples in a coastal aquifer. The capability of three models (7 hlr, 7 M conc, and Greater molar conc) in determining the water types has been investigated. The results show that Ca-HCO3, Na-Cl, and Na-HCO3; and Ca-HCO3, Na-HCO3, and Na-Cl are the three dominant wate
Within China’s renewable energy industry, the importance of the solar photovoltaic industry has been increasingly recognized. Many Chinese provinces have adopted various measures to develop the solar photovoltaic industry. This study used the diamond model and the analytic hierarchy process to clarify the relative importance of the determinants of the development of the solar photovoltaic industry
