Sweden has a high number of bomb shelters per capita when compared to other nations. After the end of the cold war, Sweden began to construct bomb shelters and continued to increase their number until 2002. However, because Sweden has not experienced a crisis or war since then, these bomb shelters have aged and some are even past their due date. Formerly, it was determined that other countries co

Klimatförändringar och katastrofer bidrar till migration och fördrivning av människor över hela världen, inklusive Europa, och ändå verkar klimatrelaterad rörlighet förbises i EU:s interna politik. Syftet med denna studie är att använda diskursanalys och den Foucauldianskt inspirerade ramen "analys av styrning" för att analysera och förstå utformningen och konstruktionen av EU:s politik Climate changes and disasters are evidently contributing to migration and displacement of people all over the world, including Europe, and yet, climate-induced mobilities seem to be neglected in EUs internal policies. The aim of this study is to use discourse analysis and the Foucauldian inspired framework “analytics of governance”, to analyze and understand the shaping and construction of EU poli

Climate change has had significant impacts, which have made it necessary to shift towards a just energy transition. However, there is a paucity of research on how energy justice is integrated into energy policies and documents in the global south, particularly in Nigeria. To address this gap, this study used thematic analysis to investigate how energy justice is integrated into the Nigerian Nation

BACKGROUND: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in midlife are strongly associated with the long-term risk of lethal prostate cancer in cohorts not subject to screening. This is the first study evaluating the association between PSA levels drawn as part of routine medical care in the Norwegian population and prostate cancer incidence and mortality.OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between

Experimental studies characterizing the reactivity of siliceous materials, such as biogenic silica from the field or laboratory cultures, typically require organic matter removal prior to experimental analysis. Consequently, it is highly desired to develop and optimize a cleaning protocol that imposes minimal alterations to the reactivity of the siliceous substrate and can be robustly employed amo

This article demonstrates the value of “scalable reading” of historical travel guides, combining traditional close reading with computer-assisted distant reading. Aiming to scrutinize the persistence of older tourist attractions under communism, we analyse guidebooks intended for similar audiences but produced under different political regimes. More specifically, we compare three travel guides to

Background: Pre-anaesthesia assessment is crucial to ensure the quality and safety of anaesthesia and surgery. However, despite being very common and essential for many patients undergoing elective surgery, little is known about the different pre-anaesthesia assessment approaches. Hence, this article outlines a study protocol for a scoping review aiming to, systematically, map the literature on pr

This thesis investigates if fiscal policy and quantitative easing (QE) can interact to raise the inflationary effect from central bank asset purchases. This is done by applying a distributed lag model on a set of macroeconomic variables for Sweden and the United States. The results show strong signs of interaction between the two policies in the U.S. but weaker and less clear results in Sweden. Th

Segregation är ett pågående och komplext problem i Sverige idag som både påverkar individen och samhället i stort. Hyresrätter är ett attraktivt val för många, som till exempel unga hushåll och utländsk arbetskraft, då det är en bra väg in på bostads- och arbetsmarknaden. Hyresregleringens syfte är att möjliggöra för fler att bo i attraktiva områden och på så sätt leda till en mer rättvis fördelni

This Bachelor’s thesis consists of an empirical study using a gravity regression model to determine if Ukrainian bilateral export flows were affected by the 2014 war through an increase in political and social risk functioning as trade resistance. There is an empirical research gap on this issue that this thesis attempts to mitigate. The study was conducted using PPML with fixed effects to solve t

In this master's thesis the ability to estimate the respiratory frequency from heart rate variability measurement is analyzed. The goal was to implement a solution that is easily transferable to real time. Starting from the initial processing of data, continuing with two different spectrogram implementations, a single spectrogram and a multitaper spectrogram, combined with three different meth

An online survey of 691 clinicians who use hypnosis was conducted in 31 countries to gain a broad real-world picture of current practices, views, and experiences in clinical hypnosis. Among 36 common clinical uses, stress reduction, wellbeing and self-esteem-enhancement, surgery preparations, anxiety interventions, mindfulness facilitation, and labor and childbirth applications were the most frequ

Maternal vitamin D levels during pregnancy may be important for reproductive health in male offspring by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation during development. We conducted a follow-up study of 827 young men from the Fetal Programming of Semen Quality (FEPOS) cohort, nested in the Danish National Birth Cohort to investigate if maternal vitamin D levels were associated with measures

The climate crisis calls for a new generation of social policy compatible with planetary limits and economic postgrowth circumstances. This article analyses how some of the pillars of such a new generation of social policy may be conceptualized by highlighting commonalities between the most recent IPCC report and the sustainable welfare literature. Methodologically triangulating content analysis o

Parks and other public spaces play an important role in working class formation. Yet, these placeswere often provided for urban populations by philanthropic elites who in turn set the, oftenunambiguously authoritarian, terms of use. In the Swedish city Malmö, the social democratic labormovement acquired a public park run by the movement itself in 1893 and proclaimed it “ThePeople’s Park”, mimickin

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor i vården kommer möta patienter som av olika anledningar har skadat sig själva. Alla personer som söker vård ska behandlas med respekt och värdighet. Men personer som söker vård för självförvållade skador upplever ett negativt bemötande vilket leder till att de blir avskräckta att söka vård i framtiden. Ett bristande bemötande kan innebära ett onödigt vårdlidande för personBackground: Nurses in healthcare will encounter patients who for various reasons have harmed themselves. All persons seeking healthcare must be treated with respect and dignity. But patients who seek care for self-inflicted injuries often experience negative encounters, which discourages them from seeking healthcare in the future. A lack of nursing care can mean unnecessary suffering for the patie
