Sex and social norms have always existed throughout human history, and are communicated through institutions such as schools, religion, and culture, making them an integral part of everyday life.

Children’s exposure to violence in their home is portrayed as a direct consequence of violence committed by adults, but when the perpetrator is the child's sibling it does not seem to acquire the same recognition. With this study, we want to draw attention to the victims of sibling violence by investigating the views of professionals who come in contact with children on the boundary between si
Children who come into contact with social services often have prior experiences of trauma. While Social Services aim to provide protection and support, research shows that encounters with authorities may also entail a risk of secondary victimization, particularly when children are not listened to, informed, or involved in decisions concerning their lives. Despite growing attention to children'

This study examines the experiences of former middle managers in Swedish social services regarding their psychosocial work environment, perceived work-related stress, and motives for voluntary turnover.

Background:Serious illness conversations are an iterative, interprofessional, team-based process that includes recommendations about medical care. Yet, it is not clear how clinicians in different role groups work together in this process.Objectives:We sought to examine how interprofessional clinicians in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) who were trained in the serious illness care program (S
AIM: This retrospective observational cohort study aimed to investigate the prevalence of suspected lateral lymph node metastases (LLNM), as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and its impact on local recurrence (LR) and overall survival (OS). Patients who underwent dissection of suspected lymph nodes were evaluated in subgroup analysis.METHOD: Patients diagnosed with rectal cancer in S
Background/Aim: Circumferential resection margin (CRM) has been shown to be a strong predictor of risk of local recurrence (LR) and distant metastases (DM) in patients with rectal cancer treated with total mesorectal excision (TME). However, not all patients with a CRM of zero develop LR or DM. This study aimed to identify factors associated with disease-free survival (DFS) despite non-radical exc
Purpose: High-risk colon cancer may benefit from preoperative chemotherapy (preCHT), but evidence on its short-term safety and outcome is limited. Population-based evidence before its incorporation into national guidelines is lacking. Methods: Patients with final weighted stage II–III colon cancer undergoing elective resection between 2007 and 2017 were identified in the Swedish Colorectal Cancer
BACKGROUND: We hypothesized that the main barriers to integrating exercise in routine care of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were structural within European healthcare systems rather than due to resistance among healthcare professionals or patients.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This descriptive cross-sectional study used anonymized questionnaires to investigate nurses' and physicians' attitud
Background: Surgery in select individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may obviate the need for future IBD-related treatment. Aims: To characterise individuals who remain treatment-free during the first 5 years after initial IBD-related surgery. Methods: We performed a nationwide cohort study using the Swedish National Patient Register and the ESPRESSO histopathology to identify individua
Calorie labeling is a popular policy to address the obesity epidemic, but it has had little empirical success. Under the premise that willful avoidance of information plays a role in this result, we propose a novel approach—pre-nudges—to make consumers more receptive to calorie information. Unlike nudges, which are used to directly influence a choice, pre-nudges are used to directly influence how
Kan vi veta något om den historiske Johannes genom att läsa evangelierna och kan det vara så att han såg sig som en av de två messias som vi möter i texter från den hebreiska bibeln och i dödahavsrullarna? I evangelierna framställs Jesus som messiaspretendenten och Johannes alltid bara som hans förelöpare. Båda har kopplingar till profettraditionen och även till annan symbolik i den hebreiska bibe

This study examines how financial market uncertainty in North America, measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), affects Eurozone bond markets. The purpose is to analyze the dynamic relationship between the VIX to both government and corporate bonds across different credit ratings, and to assess whether these relationships differ when the bonds are measured as yield-to-maturity (YTM) or option-
Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida aktivt förvaltade aktiefonder uppvisar högre riskjusterad avkastning än passiva indexfonder under perioder av ökad marknadsoro orsakad av handelspolitiska chocker. Analysen fokuserar på två distinkta perioder av tullrelaterad osäkerhet: handelskonflikten mellan USA och Kina under 2018–2019 samt den nya tullvågen under 2024–2025. Studien baseras på veckovisa paneld
