In recent years, extreme flow events in rivers have become more frequent and caused numerous bridge failures worldwide. Such events increase headwater levels in the rivers that may cause water to flow over the bridge deck, referred to as bridge overtopping. This is one of the primary factors affecting bridge functionality, possibly leading to failure. In general, bridges are designed and construct

Imaging-defined atherosclerosis represents an intermediate phenotype of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on directly measured coronary plaques using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) are scarce. In the so far largest population-based cohort with CCTA data, we performed a GWAS on coronary plaque burden as determined by the segment

Previous findings on results of treatment of aggression in violent offenders show inconsistent results, and implementations of such treatments have demonstrated varying success with sometimes marginal gains in forensic settings. New methods, incorporating virtual reality as a tool for experiential learning, have been put forward yet require deepened investigations concerning both treatment content

The paper investigates possible effects of cross-linguistic variation on measures of syntactic complexity in 60 texts from learners of L2 English, L3 French and L4 Italian at CEFR level A and CEFR level B. A previous study by Gyllstad et al. (2014) showed significant differences between proficiency levels for two length measures of complexity in English and French, but not in Italian. In this pape

The challenge of multi-use forestry is to fulfil a range of economic, ecologic and social goals in a sustainable way, accounting for synergies and trade-offs among the ecosystem services provided. Climate changes add to the complexity via effects on forest ecosystem processes, such as primary production and respiration, and also by adding a new goal on the agenda: the role of forests in climate mi

The localization of glucokinase in pancreatic beta-cell nuclei is a controversial issue. Although previous reports suggest such a localization, the mechanism for its import has so far not been identified. Using immunofluorescence, subcellular fractionation and mass spectrometry, we present evidence in support of glucokinase localization in beta-cell nuclei of human and mouse pancreatic sections, a

The housing market in Malmö is characterized by major differences between socioeconomic groups regarding the possibility to access housing of decent quality. Many households in Malmö with limited financial resources have a hard time meeting their housing needs. To address this problem, Malmö Stad has initiated the “Mallbo project” in which the city of Malmö collaborates with market actors to devel

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Idag mår och presterar barn allt sämre i skolan.

En explorativ kvalitativ studie formades i syfte att undersöka ensamstående kvinnors upplevelser av assisterad befruktning i Sverige. Studien genomfördes i samarbete med Reproduktionsmedicinskt Centrum (RMC), Skånes Universitetssjukhus (SUS). Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta kvinnor, varav fyra befann sig i behandling och fyra nyligen hade fått barn. Datamaterialet analyserades ge

Att omplacera en arbetstagare kan vara ett sätt för en arbetsgivare att komma till rätta med samarbetssvårigheter på en arbetsplats. Omplaceringsrätten är en del av arbetsgivarens bestämmanderätt, som utgör ett viktigt fundament i svensk arbetsrätt, men begränsas bland annat av gränsen för arbetstagarens arbetsskyldighet. Till följd av Arbetsdomstolens avgörande i mål AD 1978 nr 89 kom arbetsgivar

Den svenska psykiatrins avinstitutionalisering innefattade visionen att stärka patienters autonomi. I klinisk vardag manifesteras detta bland annat genom en ökad förväntan på att patienter ska fatta aktiva beslut om den egna vården. Föreliggande enkätstudie syftade till att undersöka självskattad grad av autonomi bland patienter inom öppenvårdspsykiatrin i Skåne (n = 63). Vidare undersöktes samban
