This article is based on research performed in Lund on the taxation of women in income tax. This series of two articles deals with the question whether the family or the individual would be the most suitable unit of taxation. This second article discusses other criteria including tradition, status quo, ability to pay, solidarity within families, the UN social development goals (gender equality),

Strengthening of masonry walls is a means to improve the energy performance of modern external masonry walls without further increasing their total thickness. The present paper evaluates the feasibility - here refer-ring to ease-of-application and structural performance - of several techniques aimed at strengthening mason-ry walls subjected to eccentric axial loading. Four full scale walls made of

M. B. Hintikka (1939–1987) and J. Hintikka (1929–2016) claimed that their reconstruction of the ‘Sherlock Holmes sense of deduction’ can “serve as an explication for the link between intelligence and memory” (1983, p. 159). The claim is vindicated, first for the single-agent case, where the reconstruction captures strategies for accessing the content of a distributed and associative memory; then,

The aggregation and accumulation of pathologic forms of the microtubule-associated tau protein into fibrils, eventually forming characteristic tangle pathology, hallmarks the majority of all dementia disorders which constitute the most prevalent family of neurodegenerative disorders. These so-called tauopathies are difficult to identify and diagnose, especially at early disease stages. The relativ

The role of muscle activation in both pathological and spastic populations is of interest for understanding central nervous system function. Muscle activation patterns may provide insight into pathological changes compared to healthy controls. To gain a better understanding of surgical interventions, gait muscle activation patterns are studied before and after surgery. Previous studies using surfa

Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior

You can save either David or Peter and Mary. Is there a compelling reason for saving the greater number? Taurek (1977) (in)famously denied it. In providing such reason one might attempt to establish that it is better if more people survive rather than fewer. This would settle the issue for consequentialists, but even non-consequentialists might find it relevant to the question at hand. The standar

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put pressure on healthcare services, forcing the reorganisation of traditional care pathways. We investigated how physicians taking care of severe asthma patients in Europe reorganised care, and how these changes affected patient satisfaction, asthma control and future care. Methods In this European-wide cross-sectional study, patient

Physical interaction between humans in the form of touching is associated with positive outcomes. It has a promotional influence on well-being, compliance and helping behaviour. Based on the notion that the universal need to belong could be satisfied with a touch, this study explored the question, if one brief touch on the shoulder could enhance the feeling of general belongingness. It was also hy

The aim of this study was to examine how school counsellors experienced and managed the circumstances of developing trustworthy relationships with pupils, while considering the obligation to report. We conducted six semistructured interviews consisting of school counsellors from diverse schools in the southern part of Sweden. The results are presented in three main themes, upon which the first the

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Allt flera människor flyr från sitt hemland pga. krig, hot eller förföljelse, de söker skydd hos mottagande land. Papperslösa personer tillhör dessa grupp av människor, de är en extremt utsatt grupp bland Europas befolkning både inom vården och bland allmänheten. De får oftast ojämlikt vård och riskerar därför att få sämre hälsoutfall jämfört med resten av befolkning. MajoriteteAbstract Background: An increasing number of people are fleeing their home countries due to war, threats, or persecution, seeking refuge in host countries. Undocumented individuals are part of this group, constituting an extremely vulnerable population in Europe, both in healthcare settings and among the public. They often receive unequal treatment and are at risk of poorer health outcomes compare
