Psykisk ohälsa utgör idag det främsta skälet till sjukskrivning i Sverige och involverar i hög grad arbetsplatser. I denna litteraturöversikt har vi mellan 2000−2016 undersökt dels svenska primär- och sekundärpreventiva insatser som inkluderar arbetsplatsen för att förhindra eller minska sjukskrivning på grund av vanlig psykisk sjukdom dels kartlagt hur svensk lagstiftning och policy inom rehabili

Background Most patients with alcohol and drug addiction have other risky lifestyles and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), adding to their morbidity and pre-mortality. Those are, however, potentially preventable. The aim was to identify and compare the patients in treatment for alcohol and drug addiction and identify important factors for high risk. Methods Data was collected prospectively by in

Objective: To assess the relative validity of two diet assessment methods, an extensive quantitative food frequency questionnaire (method A) and a novel shorter quantitative food frequency questionnaire with a 14 day food record (method B). Design: A randomized prospective cohort study. Setting: General community. Subjects: 206 residents of the town of Malmö, aged between 50-69 years, 101 men and

This study aims to examine the experience of international students from Lund and Malmö universities regarding social participation and loneliness throughout their studies abroad. I conducted qualitative interviews with international students from the universities. After I gathered my empirical data, I then assessed their experiences through Goffman’s stigma theory and Antonovsky’s sense of cohere

The global shift in the food system towards more sustainable diets has made legumes such as chickpeas, lentils and beans increasingly important due to their nutritional and environmental benefits. But despite these benefits that they offer, their consumption remains relatively low. A key reason for this, is the digestive discomfort they cause such as bloating and flatulence alongside reduced miner

Med bakgrund i FN generalförsamlings begäran om ett rådgivande yttrande från Internationella domstolen (ICJ) gällande staters ansvar i klimatfrågan, enligt resolution A/77/L.58, undersöker denna studie hur icke-statliga organisationer (NGO:er) framställer statligt ansvar för klimatrelaterade människorättskränkningar. Särskild vikt läggs vid rätten till liv samt rätten till ett rent, hälsosamt och

This thesis investigates the operational performance of IKEA’s Order-Initiated Flow (OIF) model for the Food Category in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It examines how extended lead times impact product availability, shelf life, and cost efficiency, and identifies the underlying factors contributing to these challenges. The research aims to evaluate the alignment between the desig

With the rapid development of Digital Rights Management (DRM), Technological Protection Measures (TPM) and Rights Management Information (RMI) as components of DRM have become essential tools for safeguarding copyright. The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) were the first international agreements to establish protections for TPM and RMI. Subsequentl

This thesis investigates the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as a novel intersection between climate regulation and international trade law. It explores the extent to which CBAM serves as a legitimate environmental measure under EU and World Trade Organization (WTO) legal frameworks or whether it risks functioning as a de facto instrument of protectionism. This is partic

Kelp forests are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, releasing detritus year-round through direct blade erosion, storm-induced detachment, wave breakage, seasonal shedding, as well as indirect urchin grazing. Fragmental kelp detritus is transported from the euphotic zone to deeper parts of the ocean such as fjords, where decomposition rates are very low and detritus may contribute to lo

There are arguments around the nature and boundaries of the moral domain, with this current paper aiming to delineate one of these arguments. With a basis in George Sher's (2021) discussion of cognitions (beliefs, fantasies, attitudes and some thoughts), the paper defends the notion that they are, in fact, morally relevant. By combining the logic of truth-aptness with the phenomenology of agen

This thesis examines whether the partially owned parent entity (POPE) rule in the Directive (EU) 2022/2523 (P2D) creates a restriction on the free movement of capital under Article 63 TFEU, and if so, whether that restriction be justified and regarded as proportionate under EU law. The POPE rule forms part of the EU implementation of Pillar Two, which aims to ensure a global minimum level of taxa

This thesis is motivated by the aim of ascertaining whether the ECtHR is limiting the ECHR’s potential, if any, to contribute to the curbing of child welfare disproportionality rates in CoE MSs. It provides a critical analysis of ECtHR jurisprudence on child protection interventions involving minority children – namely, children belonging to ethnic, religious, or linguistic minority groups or whos

In recent years, the demand for psychiatric services aimed at children and adolescents has increased in Sweden. Subsequently, the leave of absence due to mental health issues has increased among those who are employed in the field of social work. Social workers working in psychiatric services have a history of being a high-risk group for burnout due to high expectations on emotional labour and a r

Who’s Worth Identifying examines the reasonings behind the decision to exclude the use of forensic investigative genetic genealogy, or FIGG, to identify unidentified human remains belonging to victims of crime in Sweden. After FIGG was used to solve a double homicide in Linköping in 2020 the Swedish Police Authority published a report on its use. After the publishing of the report the Swedish Auth

This qualitative study examines how professionals describe support provided by selected support services for men who have been subjected to sexual violence and analyses how these descriptions can be understood in relation to norms of masculinity. The study is based on seven semi-structured interviews with professionals from different support services, including health care, social services, and lo

Civil society organizations and in particular LGBTIQA+ organizations tend to be naturally perceived as diverse. However, including ethnic/racial minorities in civil society organizations has its difficulties. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict adds another dimension that makes it even more complicated. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate how Israeli LGBTQIA+ organizations and projects discuss in
