Background: High-level sports have been described as a risk situation for mental health problems and substance misuse. This, however, has been sparsely studied for problem gambling, and it is unknown whether problem gaming, corresponding to the tentative diagnosis of internet gaming disorder, may be overrepresented in athletes. This study aimed to study the prevalence and correlates of problem gam
OBJECTIVE: To define age-adjusted incidence trends in multiple myeloma (MM) in a well-characterized population during a long period, given that some, but not all, studies have reported increasing MM incidence over time and that clinical experience from some centers suggests an increased incidence mainly in younger age groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We identified all patients (N=773) with MM diagnos
Western Europe boasts advanced health care systems, robust kidney care guidelines, and a well-established health care workforce. Despite this, significant disparities in kidney replacement therapy incidence, prevalence, and transplant access exist. This paper presents the third International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas's findings on kidney care availability, accessibility, aff
I denna rapport sammanställer vi resultaten från en workshop med Hovedstadens Beredskab i Danmark. Workshopen utfördes som en del av projektet FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century). I projektet studerar vi (forskare från Sverige, Norge och Danmark) hur räddningstjänster löser problem i så kallade problemlösande nätverk. Vi ser dessa som nödvändiga för att lösa problem i dagens och
Urban tourism depends on the place specific qualities of destinations. In many cities, climate change poses a threat to these qualities, through increasing risk of excessive heat, draught and flooding. Cities need to adapt to reduce these risks. One way of doing this is to improve their green infrastructure. Urban forests, parks, rivers and wetlands may help reduce the effects of climate change in
Background: Randomised clinical trials with a factorial design may assess the effects of multiple interventions in the same population. Factorial trials are carried out under the assumption that the trial interventions have no interactions on outcomes. Here, we present a protocol for a simulation study investigating the consequences of different levels of interactions between the trial interventio
OBJECTIVES: Occupational exposure to vibration using hand-held tools may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Correct diagnosis and grading of severity are crucial in protecting the individual's health and for workers' compensation claims. The International Consensus Criteria (ICC) has been suggested to replace the widely used Stockholm Workshop Scale (SWS). The aims were to, in a clinical se
Myanmar is the world's second-largest producer of opium poppy, the raw material from which heroin and opium are produced. 85% of this opium poppy is cultivated in rural areas of Shan State, where about 1 in 10 households in the villages are directly involved in opium poppy cultivation for the drug industry (MIMU, 2017). The economy of opium poppy permeates social and family dynamics; nonethele
The student group is an emerging target with high potential for both the service industry and municipalities. However, previous studies scrutinizing this segment have been limited despite its significance. The aim of this study is to provide a deeper understanding of how domestic and international students perceive Helsingborg city and to offer insight into the key factors influencing students’ pe
This thesis has two major purposes: (1) to create a 3D virtual “reconstructive” model of the peristyle with the nymphaeum wall (room b) of the house V 1,7 (House of the Bronze Bull) in Pompeii, and (2) to prepare a probability map based on this model that will show the reliability level for each individual part. The author underlines the importance of recording paradata of the entire workflow. The
The presumption of parental liability is an important tool for the Commission, enabling it to hold parent companies jointly and severally liable with their subsidiaries. Parent companies claim however, that they cannot rebut the presumption and are thus rendered strictly liable for their subsidiaries’ conduct. Due to the fact that parent companies repeatedly failed rebutting the presumption with e
Lesbian, gay, and bisexual people continue to face discrimination and persecution in their daily lives, often from both the state and their communities. Where states do not provide for the basic human rights and physical security of their lesbian, gay, and bisexual citizens, many such citizens would flee their countries of origin in search of refuge in more hospitable countries. If other countries
EU:s koncentrationsförordning syftar till att skydda konkurrensen på den inre marknaden från skada som orsakas av betydande strukturella förändringar, genom att säkerställa att företagsförvärv och fusioner leder till ökad tillväxt och en högre levnadsstandard inom EU. Denna uppsats undersöker det rättsliga ”vakuum” som uppstår utanför förordningens tillämpningsområde, samt hur den praktiska tillämThe EU Merger Regulation aims to protect the common market from lasting damage to competition caused by significant structural changes, by ensuring that mergers and acquisitions ultimately lead to improved growth and a higher standard of living within the EU. This thesis examines the regulatory gap outside the scope of the EU Merger Regulation, and how the practice of EU merger control has evolved
Denna studie undersöker hur slutpriset vid exekutiva försäljningar av småhus och bostadsrätter förhåller sig till bedömt marknadsvärde och till prisbildningen på den frivilliga marknaden. Exekutiva försäljningar som genomförs av Kronofogdemyndigheten(KFM) skiljer sig från frivilliga transaktioner på ett grundläggande sätt: de sker under tvång, med begränsad objektinformation och en reglerad försälThis study examines how transaction prices of forced sales of single-family houses and tenant-owned apartments relate to assessed market value and to prices on the free market. In this study, the term forced sales is used to describe enforcement sales conducted by the Swedish Enforcement Authority (Kronofogdemyndigheten, KFM). Forced sales differ fundamentally from voluntary transactions in that t
Denna artikel undersöker hur innebörden av ekonomisk ersättning kan omdefinieras över tid i svenska familjehemsföräldrars liv. Med utgångspunkt i fyrtio kvalitativa intervjuer visar jag att familjehemsföräldrar initialt kan tona ned eller bortse från de ekonomiska aspekterna av uppdraget, men senare komma att vara beroende av denna inkomst – inte nödvändigtvis av egenintresse, utan som ett sätt atThis article examines how the meaning of financial compensation may be redefined over time in the lives of Swedish foster parents. Drawing on forty qualitative interviews, I demonstrate that while foster parents may initially downplay or disregard the monetary aspects of fostering, they can later come to depend on this income, not necessarily out of self-interest, but as a means of deepening their
The keystone species concept holds that certain members of an ecological community, despite their low abundance, exert disproportionately large effects on species diversity and composition. In microbial ecology, experimental validation of this concept has been limited because targeted removal of individual species remains technically challenging. Here, we developed a procedure to test the keystone
In this report heat quantity measuring and temperature regulation of smaller heating networks have been studied. At lower flows, as well as at lower difference temperatures, the accuracy of the measurement is very low. Today's control of a heating plant endeavour to let the temperature of the water into the heating network follow the heat requirement. This control strategy leads to small heat
