Interdisciplinary research and education on human-environment relations has a natural place in many Anglo-American geography and anthropology departments. In Sweden, however, critical scholarship across the socio-natural divide has largely been outsourced to the interdisciplinary field of human ecology. Since the 1970s, Swedish human ecologists have sought to integrate perspectives from the social
An experimentally based prediction model of road abrasion wear due to studded tyres is available in Sweden and has been found to work well. However, it has not been validated since 2007, and since then road surfaces and tyre design have developed, and the question has arisen regarding the model’s current validity. The abrasion wear model is used in the NORTRIP emission model (NOn-exhaust Road Traf
Due to advances in technology, sampling procedures and short lag times between successive sampling, autocorrelation among the measured data has become common in most applications. Neglecting autocorrelation leads to a poor false alarm performance. In the current paper, the effect of the autocorrelation on the performance of a variable-parameters multivariate single control chart is investigated in
Variable parameters (VP) schemes are the most effective adaptive schemes in increasing control charts' sensitivity to detect small to moderate shift sizes. In this paper, we develop four VP adaptive memory-type control charts to monitor multivariate multiple linear regression profiles. All the proposed control charts are single-chart (single-statistic) control charts, two use a Max operator and tw
Mental health problems in Sweden are a growing concern, especially among children and young adults. Child and adolescent psychiatry services (BUP) in Sweden currently have more active cases than in previous years. Consequences of this include an increase in diagnoses of ADHD, a higher risk of suicide among children and young adults, and a growing number of involuntary hospitalisations. The purpose
Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.
ObjectiveTo compare the early and midterm outcomes of left subclavian artery revascularization during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) following carotid subclavian bypass/transposition (CSB) vs. fenestrated repair when landing in zone 1/2. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to adjust for baseline differences.MethodsDEbranching versus FENestrated Repair for Left SubClavian Arter
The ways in which victims of rape are portrayed in news media is important, as they influence public perceptions of blame and responsibility. Media coverage can contribute to victim blaming by emphasising certain behaviours or circumstances, or by framing specific narratives. Despite extensive research on this topic, little is known about how such portrayals are affected by legal change, and how ‘
Renewable energy expansion and carbon sink enhancement are central to developing sustainable climate pathways, yet the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies is intensifying land-use competition and increasing the need for more resource-efficient siting strategies. Solar development on former peat extraction sites represents one such approach, as it enables the use of degraded land whil
This article examines the underexplored issue of public social protection in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector. Social protection is defined as public actions taken in response to levels of vulnerability, risk, and deprivation considered socially unacceptable within a given society and polity. Drawing on a study of ASM in Rwanda, the article identifies a range of state-led policies
A dose survey of positron emission tomography (PET) examinations was performed in 12 regions of the Russian Federation, where the effective dose values were assessed for the various types of PET examinations. The comparison to similar published data show that the patient doses in Russia are higher than in other countries. Low-dose CT protocols and justification of multiphase CT protocols should be
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate graft preservation, major bleeding, and reinfection rate using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for perivascular surgical site infections (SSIs) in the groin after vascular surgery and factors associated with failure of treatment. Methods: Retrospective data were collected during 2004-2015. Failure of wound treatment was defined as a wound
Inclusive isolated-photon production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is studied with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using a data set with an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb−1. The cross section is measured as a function of the photon transverse energy above 125 GeV in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. Next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD and Monte Carlo event-gener
Multiconfigurational methods are applied to study electronic properties and structural changes in the highly flexible metal-organic framework MIL53(Cr). Via calculated bending potentials of angles, that change the most during phase transition, it is verified that the high flexibility of this material is not a question about special electronic properties in the coordination chemistry, but about ove
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines for accessing graphs non-visually are based on giving access to underlying tabular data and reading the values one by one. When data sets are large, it becomes impossible to get an overview.OBJECTIVE: This work presents a proof-of-concept of automated audio description of data sets up to 100 data points that can be used by persons with visual impairment or persons wh
