BACKGROUND: Lifestyle-related diseases, such as stroke, heart disease, and diabetes, are examples of noncommunicable diseases. Noncommunicable diseases are now the leading cause of death in the world, and their major causes are lifestyle related. The number of eHealth interventions is increasing, which is expected to improve individuals' health literacy on lifestyle-related diseases.OBJECTIVE: Thi

Plant-feeding insects reduce yields substantially in all major crops despite considerable crop protection efforts. A lack of long-term monitoring data and insufficient ecological knowledge of pest insects limit our possibilities to characterize drivers of change in their abundances. We demonstrate how a suite of complementary methods and data sources can be used to analyse historical shifts in pes

We present an analysis of atmospheric transport impact on estimating CO2 fluxes using two atmospheric inversion systems (CarboScope-Regional (CSR) and Lund University Modular Inversion Algorithm (LUMIA)) over Europe in 2018. The main focus of this study is to quantify the dominant drivers of spread amid CO2 estimates derived from atmospheric tracer inversions. The Lagrangian transport models STILT

Organic colloids are an important part of dissolved organic matter (DOM) yet many of their properties remain elusive. The main aims of this study were to assess how the colloidal properties of DOM extracted with water from an organic boreal soil horizon varied with the extraction protocol, and thereby provide insight into the nature of the DOM colloids and develop a mechanistic understanding of ho

In recent years, newly arrived students have been in focus in Swedish education, for example, because of the large number of asylum seekers to Sweden which has become a challenge for the Swedish school system (Swedish Schools Inspectorate, 2015). But also because of recent changes in the Education act whereby time spent in reception classes was to be reduced for newly arrived students and they sha

Background: At birth, infants' lungs are fluid-filled. For newborns to have a successful transition, this fluid must be replaced by air to enable effective breathing. Some infants are judged to have inadequate breathing at birth and are resuscitated with positive pressure ventilation (PPV). Giving prolonged (sustained) inflations at the start of PPV may help clear lung fluid and establish gas volu

To study global nitrogen (N) leaching from natural ecosystems under changing N deposition, climate, and atmospheric CO2, we performed a factorial model experiment for the period 1901-2006 with the N-enabled global terrestrial ecosystem model LPJ-GUESS (Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator). In eight global simulations, we used either the true transient time series of N deposition, climate

The movement of DOM from terrestrial to aquatic systems is a globally significant flux affecting both carbon sequestration and CO2 emissions. Here, DOM dynamics were investigated in terrestrial and aquatic systems within the context of this carbon flux. The overall aim was to investigate the source and chemistry of DOM and determine how chemistry is affected by microbial processing of DOM. In the

That the Church of Norway has now adopted gender equality as its policy, is a new situation in a historical perspective, and is the result of a long process within the framework of the state church system. In this context, the way in which the Storting (the Norwegian parliament) dealt with the issue of admitting women to clerical offices in the 1930s was important. The purpose of this thesis has b

Background: Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is commonly used to screen different types of genetic variation in humans and model species. Here, we performed aCGH using an oligonucleotide gene-expression array for a non-model species, the intertidal snail Littorina saxatilis. First, we tested what types of genetic variation can be detected by this method using direct re-sequencing and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Allt fler ungdomar i vårt land, liksom i många andra länder, lever i vardagen med mer än en kultur. En femtedel av eleverna i den svenska skolan är antingen själva födda i ett annat land eller har minst en förälder med utländsk bakgrund. För många av dessa barn och ungdomar har därför inte samhällets dominerande kultur funnits med från början av deras liv. Bekantskapen The present study is based on interviews with 22 youth and young adults. The perspective is phenomenological, since my aim has been to analyse and describe the everyday world as it presents itself to these young people. A process begins in the encounter with the majority culture and the emphasis is on how they think about events and experiences along the road to a more complex life-world. The proc

There is a need for further studies to compare the decomposition of biochar to that of the original feedstock and determine how these amendments affect the cycling of native organic matter (NOM) of different soils to improve our understanding of the resulting net C sequestration potential. A 510-days incubation experiment was conducted (i) to investigate the evolution of CO2 from soils amended wit

We investigated the distribution, storage and landscape partitioning of soil amorphous silica (ASi) in a central Canadian region dominated by tundra and peatlands to provide a first estimate of the amount of ASi stored in Arctic permafrost ecosystems. We hypothesize that, similar to soil organic matter, Arctic soils store large amounts of ASi which may be affected by projected climate changes and

Method All medical records containing information on drug treatment were collec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utforskar vad det innebär att vara verksamhetsnära chef i en svensk kommunal omsorgsorganisation. Det forskningsprojekt som utgör avhandlings empiriska bas tillkom för att de medverkande cheferna upplevde att de hade en svår arbetssituation. Resultaten från projektet belyser chefskapets innebörd och förutsättningar, sett ur chefernas perspektiv. Det allra The present doctoral thesis aimed to explore what it means to be a first-level manages in a Swedish municipal social care administration, seen from the managers’ perspective. The empirical data derives from a participative, constructivist project which intended to contribute to new practice-based knowledge and to the learning and development of the participating managers. The participating manager

As the interest in greenwashing as a strategy for marketing increases, monitoring institutions in Sweden have not failed to acknowledge the tendency of unwarranted and exaggerated statements that has left the impression of products or services without any legitimate support. Even as institutions have voiced their active engagement in tackling this problem, critique has been raised arguing that gre

Det finns i detta nu en pågående debatt inom den offentliga upphandlingen kring huruvida det är en för samhället positiv sak att i samband med upphandlingsprocessen ställa krav på att leverantören lever upp till vissa sociala åtaganden. De senaste årens utveckling har resulterat i att EU i allt större utsträckning uppmuntrar upphandlande myndigheter att använda sig av sociala hänsyn i sina upphandThere is, as we speak, an on-going debate within the area of public procurement, about whether the society has something to gain by setting social requirements on suppliers in the procurement process. The last years’ development has resulted in that the EU in a wider range encourage government bodies to take social concerns in public procurement, with the purpose to reach the common goals that the

Inom omsorgsverksamhet uppstår ibland situationer där personalen ser en frihetsberövande åtgärd som nödvändig för att fullfölja sin omsorgs- och tillsynsplikt. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda hur gränsen dras mellan brottsliga och icke brottsliga frihetsberövanden inom nyss nämnda kontext. I avsaknad av särskild reglering med relevans för bedömningen är allmänna straffrättsliga regler och priIn health and social care services situations may arise where the staff considers deprivation of liberty to be a necessary measure to fulfil their supervisory and care duties. This essay aims to examine how the line between criminal and noncriminal deprivations of liberty is being drawn in the context of health and social care. Whereas no specific regulations of relevance for the issue exist, gene

Miljöanpassad offentlig upphandling betraktas idag som en viktig del i främjandet av en positiv miljö- och samhällsutveckling. Detta beror dels på den offentliga upphandlingens stora ekonomiska betydelse, dels på att miljöhänsyn är en aspekt av offentlig upphandling som tillmäts allt större betydelse. Genom att ställa miljökrav i offentlig upphandling kan upphandlande myndigheter påverka utbudet aToday, green public procurement is considered an important part of a positive environmental and social development. This is partly because of the large economic importance of public procurement and partly because environmental considerations constitute an aspect of public procurement with increased significance. By imposing environmental requirements, contracting authorities can affect the supply
