What are the social positions of adults who were in long-term foster care as children, compared with the general population and with adults who grew up at home in families similar to foster children's birth families? How common is it to have been in foster care? Four approaches are used in this study: - A systematic review of around 50 studies on adult foster children. Conclusions are more pessim
Objectives To determine which endometrial morphology characteristics as assessed by gray-scale ultrasound and which endometrial vessel characteristics as assessed by power Doppler ultrasound are useful for discriminating between benign and malignant endometrium in women with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) and sonographic endometrial thickness > 4.5 mm and to develop logistic regression models to ca
1. Background The workgroup of Traffic Psychology is concerned with the social, behavioral, and perceptual aspects that are associated with use and non-use of bicycle helmets, in their various forms and under various cycling conditions. 2. Objectives The objectives of WG2 are to (1) share current knowledge among the people already working in the field, (2) suggest new ideas for research on and eva
Background: It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet. Up to 43% of these women are at risk of developing chronic distress requiring complex interventions; however, how to early identify and meet these women's needs is unknown, leaving them with suboptimal chances of r
Alternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The compression ignition (CI) engine has a high overall efficiency which makes it a valuable option for the transport fleet, despite the well known NOx and soot pollutants it emits. These two pollutants are emitted due to a combination of high local cAlternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions.

Över 80 000 personer bor på särskilt boende i Sverige. Flytten dit är ofta livets sista och kan medföra psykisk och fysisk påfrestning med risk för depression, försämrad hälsa och för tidig död. Endast personer med omfattande hjälpbehov beviljas plats, och enligt lag får flytten inte ske mot den äldres vilja. Trots ökad skörhet förväntas individen alltså själv ta stort ansvar för flyttprocessen. DMore than 80,000 people live in nursing homes in Sweden. The move isoften the final relocation in life and may involve both psychological andphysical strain, with risks of depression, deteriorating health, and prematuredeath. Only individuals with extensive care needs are granted placement,and by law, the move cannot be made against the will of the older person.Despite increased frailty, individua
Handeln med varumärkesförfalskade produkter, som länge har ansetts som en ganska harmlös företeelse som konsumenten varit väl införstådd med, har utvecklats till en väloljad miljardindustri där såväl rättighetsinnehavaren, samhället och konsumenten riskerar att lida skada. De varumärkesförfalskade produkterna består inte längre av dåligt imiterade solglasögon utan av professionellt utformade kopioCounterfeiting has long been considered a rather harmless phenomenon. However, counterfeiting has evolved from a small-scale activity into one on an industrial scale. It has come to pose a serious threat, not only to the interests of the right holder, but to the consumers and the society as a whole. Counterfeit products are no longer just poorly crafted copies of sunglasses; today they are profess
Negative environmental impacts generated by new buildings and the built environment needs to be reduced in order to contribute to mitigation of anthropogenic global warming. Sustainable building certifications such as Miljöbyggnad and DGNB was introduced as a measure to transition into more sustainable buildings. The research study explores the environmental impacts of cross-laminated timber and t
In order to study and evaluate the care provided at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), an accurate model to assess severity of illness and predict patient mortality based on admission data is required. Since 1983, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) based on logistic regression (LR) has become one of the international standards for this purpose and is used in Sweden for adults. While being a
This thesis investigated the potential of using reactive power compensation to solve overvoltage issues caused by high amounts of distributed generation, such as rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems, in the low voltage grid. High voltages are caused by increasing distributed generation as the Swedish power grid shifts from centralised to decentralised power production. The aim was to manage overvol
Progressing urbanisation puts strong pressure on existing infrastructure, forcing new projects to provide for society’s increased demand. Owing to modern state-of-the-art knowledge and imposed regulations, publicly driven initiatives are mandatory to use Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) technologies for project realisation. The thesis examines High Sp
Context. While the influence of the LMC on Milky Way (MW) stellar streams has been extensively studied, streams associated with the Clouds have received far less attention. Beyond the Magellanic Stream, only four stream candidates (S1–S4) have been reported. Aims. We focus on the S3 stream, a long (~30°) and narrow (~1.2°) structure at 60–80 kpc that is nearly aligned with the LMC. Our goals are:
Air traffic control (ATC) is a safety-critical activity in which practitioners must continuously navigate uncertainty, trade-offs, and operational variability. In such environments, resilience emerges not from strict adherence to procedures alone but from the adaptive strategies that air traffic controllers employ to sustain safe performance. One striking property of air traffic control is that co
