This paper examines the relation between violent conflicts and democratization in Georgia. Since independence in 1991, Georgia has grown towards increased democratization but within the political transition, many obstacles, in form of violent conflicts and war have threatened the country. In the Democratization and War theory, Mansfield & Snyder argues that increased democracy increases the ri
This thesis evaluates the EU-level tobacco products regulation and the regulation of tobacco products for oral use, in particular. The evaluation includes a historical overview of the development of relevant secondary legislation and a more detailed analysis of the current regulatory state. Following the analysis of the Tobacco Products Directive as the main legal instrument in the European tobacc

The COVID-19 pandemic caused universities worldwide, including those in Sweden, to adopt online distance learning as the primary teaching approach. However, there is limited research on how larger environmental changes affect university students’ occupational balance.

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Brott på strålbenet på handledsnivå (handledsbrott) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till att patienter måste uppsöka en akutmottagning. Skadan drabbar oftast medelålders och äldre kvinnor. Skelettet blir skörare hos kvinnor efter klimakteriet, vilket lättare leder till ett benbrott. Medan brott på lårbenshalsen oftast drabABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som nedsatt glukostolerans av varierande svårighets¬grad som upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossning. GDM innebär ökad risk för såväl moder som barn. Kvinnor med GDM föder ofta stora barn och har ökad risk för komplikationer i samband med förlossningen. GDM-prevalensen varierar avsevärt mellan olika popuGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and immunological risk factors that increase susceptibility to GDM. First, we investigated whether autoimmuni
Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Grupp B streptokocker (GBS) Grupp B streptokocker (GBS), på latin Streptococcus agalactiae, är det vanligaste fyndet vid bakteriella infektioner, som blodförgiftning (sepsis), hjärnhinneinflammation (meningit) och lunginflammation (pneumoni) hos nyfödda barn. Sjukdomsförloppet är ofta våldsamt och livshotande. Sedan 1970-talet har det skett enABSTRACT Streptococci constitute a heterogeneous group of Gram-positive bacteria, divided into different serological groups on the basis of antigenic differences in a cell wall-associated carbohydrate. This thesis describes related surface proteins expressed by bacteria in two of these groups, the group B streptococcus (GBS) and the group A streptococcus (GAS). GBS is an encapsulated bacterium th
Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige har andelen förtidspensionärer ökat under lång tid och uppgick år 1998 till 7.6% av befolkningen i arbetsför ålder (16-64 år). Den vanligaste orsaken till att en individ förtidspensioneras är reducerad arbetsförmåga till följd av problem i rörelseorganen. Kunskaperna om förtidspensionärers livskvalitet är bristfälliga. Syftet med denna studie var att studera lThe starting-point of this thesis was the high rate of disability pensioners in Sweden and the lack of knowledge about what a disability pension entails for quality of life (QL). The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about QL among disability retirees with musculoskeletal disorders (ERPs). A questionnaire was sent in 1992 to 450 ERPs in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden, granted their disabil
The purpose of this paper is to describe a novel approach to economic evaluation of infrastructure, the benefit analyses in the Swedish high-speed rail project, and to analyse what role these can play in the decision-making process. The reports identify benefits from infrastructure investment at the local level and were intended to assist in making co-financing agreements and as a basis for decisi

Traditional robots used in manufacturing are very efficient for solving specific tasks that are repeated manytimes. The robots are, however, difficult to (re-)configure and (re-)program. This can often only be done byexpert robotic programmers, computer vision experts, etc., and it requires additionally lots of time. In thispaper we present and use a skill based framework for robotic programming. Traditional robots used in manufacturing are very efficient for solving specific tasks that are repeated many times.

In this study the strain rate effects on the tensile and compressive properties of nano-crystalline nanoporous gold (nc-NPAu) are investigated by performing molecular dynamics simulations. In order to examine the role of strain rate,atomistic models of nc-NPAu structures with three different grain size are generated through a novel modeling technique based on the Voronoi tessellation method.

The existence of slavery in Viking-Age and high medieval Scandinavia is accepted as a fact. Law codes, literary sources and some few burials vouch for that. It is, however, more complicated to ascertain regional differences in the use of slaves, their ethnic identities and geographical distribution, as well as changes in the intensity of their exploitation over time. A new source, household potter
