In recent work on international comparisons of income-related inequalities in health, the concentration index has been used as a measure of health inequality. A drawback of this measure is that it is sensitive to whether it is estimated with respect to health or morbidity. An alternative would be to use the generalized concentration index that is based on absolute rather than relative health diffe
In the recently completed and formally ratified new series and stage classification of the Ordovician System, the base of the Middle Ordovician Series coincides with the base of the global Dapingian Stage. In the Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) of this stage, which is located at Huanghuachang in southern China, the base of the Dapingian Stage is defined its the level of first appearance
Alcohol abuse is associated with an increased risk of osteopenia and fractures. Previous histomorphometric studies on iliac crest bone have found decreased bone formation and increased bone resorption in alcohol abusers but it has not been established whether alcohol abuse has any effect on the anatomical location or the healing time of tibial shaft fractures. We studied, retrospectively, 199 adul
Lathyrus vernus (L.) Bernh. is a diploid, long-lived perennial and insect-pollinated herb with no special adaptation to long-distance dispersal. It occurs on neutral soil in deciduous forests throughout western Eurasia. Due to specific habitat preferences, L. vernus has a fragmented distribution with isolated populations. We investigated allozyme variation at eleven loci in 20 populations of L. ve
Studien syftade till att skildra och förstå återkopplingspraxis efter psykologutredning av barn. En webbenkät skickades till 1 053 psykologer inom habilitering och psykiatri i Sverige. Svarsfrekvensen var 34,9 % och det slutliga stickprovet bestod av 317 respondenter, varav 64 % arbetade inom psykiatri, 82 % var kvinnor, medelåldern var 40 år, och medianvärdet för antal utredningar var 15 per år.
Ever since Lipsky wrote about street-level bureaucrats in 1980 the main belief has been that certain characteristics of their jobs make it exceptionally difficult to severely reduce their discretion. However, discretion comes at a price and if public servants abuse their power the legitimacy of government is at risk and ultimately even the democracy. This thesis address this question by analysing
The article examines the innovation-job quality-employment nexus in social and health care in the United Kingdom and Sweden, respectively. Through seven case studies carried out with a common methodological and analytical framework in the two countries, it shows how the constraining factors of fiscal strictures derived from budgetary regimes and chronic labor shortages have two key consequences fo
Genetic variants that inactivate protein-coding genes are a powerful source of information about the phenotypic consequences of gene disruption: genes that are crucial for the function of an organism will be depleted of such variants in natural populations, whereas non-essential genes will tolerate their accumulation. However, predicted loss-of-function variants are enriched for annotation errors,
This chapter approaches the process of spatial peripheralization from the perspective of concept-induced harm. Harm is both a moral and a legal term construed along any form of physical or mental damage, be it intended or unintended. More broadly, however, harm denotes any form of setback to interest, and while harm can arise as the result of an onset of emotion, more often than not harm is concep
Integrering av historia i fysikundervisningen har undersökts länge och i stor omfattning internationellt. Det finns ett brett stöd för att det kan ha många önskvärda effekter på elevers lärande och motivation. Denna positiva bild verkar inte delas helt av fysiklärare och det framkommer att det finns många utmaningar med att integrera fysikhistoria i undervisningen. Syftet med denna uppsats var attIntegration of history of physics (HOP) in the teaching of physics has been studied for a long time and to a great extent. There is a widespread support of the fact that history of physics can have many desirable effects on students learning and motivation. This positive picture is seemingly not shared completely among physic teachers and to implement history to the physics classroom has been show
Vi lever idag i en tid av fundamental osäkerhet och striden får vi inte sällan höra står mellan de som går en osäker framtid till mötes och de som nostalgiskt blickar tillbaka. I Vellinge möter vi de som med vemod ser sin ort förändras till vad den inte tycks ha varit förut, liksom de som betraktar ortens utveckling i starkt positiva ordalag. Men vi möter också personer med olika materiella föruts
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka organisationskultur och belysa hur kommunikation används för att bygga en stark organisationskultur. Fyra svenska organisationer som bevisligen har en stark organisationskultur med medarbetare som trivs, används som empiriskt exempel för att visa hur framgångsrikt kulturarbete kan förstås i praktiken. Studien presenterar, analyserar och jämför dessa organisat
