Modern technology against falls-The MoTFall project

Background: The strongest risk factor for falls is a history of falls. Therefore, interventions targeting persons at risk of falling before they are aware of the risk themselves is highly demanded. The prevention of falls is a complex task and has no easy solutions; an interdisciplinary approach is necessary. Modern technology provides us with novel opportunities to detect and monitor falls and ne

Social trust in adaptation to multi-species management

Trust is fundamental in any interpersonal relationship, and is highly essential to initiate, establish, and maintain social relationships.

Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events After Parathyroidectomy in Patients on Renal Replacement Therapy

Background: A majority of patients with end-stage renal disease suffer from secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. Parathyroidectomy (PTX) is often necessary despite medical treatment. However, the effect of PTX on cardio- and cerebrovascular events (CVE) remains unclear. Data on the effect of PTX from population-based studies are scarce. S

Översättning och testning av ett livskvalitetinstrument: : The PedsQL™ Family Impact Module

Stakeholder views on large carnivore management interventions

Successful conservation of large carnivores can only be achieved if the side effects of carnivore presence and protection are mitigated, allowing development of sustainable agricultural practices in the local society. A core element of large carnivore management is the mitigation of carnivore attacks on livestock or dogs. However, whilst attacks may be rare, the domestic animals and their owners w

Landskapsperspektivet

Ett landskapsperspektiv krävs för att effektivt bevara biologisk mångfald och gynna ekosystemtjänster, eftersom de bakomliggande ekologiska processerna sker på rumsliga skalor som är större än enskilda fält och gårdar. Genom att förstå dessa processer bidrar forskningsmiljön SAPES och associerade forskningsprojekt till att visa värdet av att lantbrukare samarbetar för att gemensamt gynna ekosystem

Mot en evidensbaserad CAP

EU:s gemensamma jordbrukspolitik (CAP) är ett av de viktigaste styrmedlen för svenskt jordbruk, både när det gäller ekonomiska resurser och med avseende på hur stora arealer mark som påverkas. I den nuvarande CAP finns medel avsatta för miljöåtgärder såväl inom pelare 1 genom de så kallade förgröningsåtgärderna, som genom Landsbygdsprogrammet (pelare 2) via miljöstöden. Därmed skulle det kunna fin

Evaluating of public information meetings to address fear of brown bear

Information and education are frequently proposed as interventions to reduce the public’s fear of large carnivores. There are however few comprehensive evaluations of informational approaches, and existing evaluations rarely capture effects on human dimension factors such as people’s feelings of fear. In a recent study of public information meetings designed according to psychological principles i

Fishing villages fearing seals

The current presence of three species of seals along the Baltic coast; the grey seal (Halichoerus grupys), the harbor seal (Phoca vitulina) and the ringed seal (Pusa hispida) is a result of successful conservation management. However, seals cause severe economic losses to small-scale fisheries and are considered to threaten traditional fishing communities and thereby cultural values, tourism, and

Potential for conflict in carnivore management and conservation

Large carnivore conservation in the Swedish multi-use landscapes can only be successful if carnivores can share the landscape with human activities. Interventions to reduce the risk of brown bear, lynx, wolf, and wolverine attacks on domestic animals have become a core element in carnivore management. Whereas the intention is that interventions mitigate human-carnivore interactions, the interventi
