Accurate maps of past land cover and human land use are necessary for studying the impact of anthropogenic land-cover changes, such as deforestation, on the climate. The maps of past land cover should ideally be separated into naturally occurring vegetation and human-induced changes, thereby enabling the quantification of the effect of human land use on the past climate. We developed a Bayesian hi
Background: Parents of young children are a vulnerable group with an increased risk of stress-related health problems compared to adults without children. Low occupational balance has been identified as a risk factor for stress-related disorders. Aim: The study aimed to describe occupational balance in parents of pre-school children and to explore potential differences between mothers and fathers.
As a theoretical framework in organization studies, institutional logics is immensely popular. It has been used in a large amount of highly contributory and enlightening empirical studies, and developed far beyond its original formulation in a classical paper by Friedland and Alford (1991). In our paper, we identify three key theoretical problems that have emerged in the development and use of ins

Cultural norms that promote gender inequality have shown to encourage power imbalances in heterosexual relationships, increasing both young men and young women’s risk of STDs, HIV, unplanned pregnancy and intimate partner violence (WHO, 2004). Understanding how exactly these cultural norms impact youth’s gendered sexual roles and overall sexual health has been increasingly highlighted as an import

År 2014 drabbades Västmanland län i Sverige av en allvarlig skogsbrand som växte till att täcka drygt 13 000 ha. På grund av vädersituationen klarade räddningstjänsten inte av att hantera branden, vilken resulterade i att bli den största branden i Sverige sedan mitten av 1900-talet. Året efter branden rapporterade Myndigheten för Sam- hällskydd och Beredskap ett behov av ökad beredskap för allvarlIn 2014, the Västmanland County in Sweden suffered from a severe forest fire that grew to a size of roughly 13000ha. Recent and prevailing weather conditions made the fire overpower the extinguishing ability of the Swedish emergency services, and it ran out of control to become the largest forest fire in Sweden since the middle of the 20th century. The year after the fire, a need to increase the e
About 20 percent of Sweden's municipal street network is now in urgent need of maintenance. This is assumed to correspond to a cost of about 12 billion Swedish crowns. That the streets are maintained in an effective manner is of great importance both for the users' safety and accessibility. Today, however, numerous municipalities suffer from a maintenance debt incurred because of the lack

Den svenska sexualbrottslagstiftningen har genomgått stora förändringar över åren. Våldtäktsbestämmelsen har på olika sätt utvidgats och tvångskravet har sänkts med tiden. Syftet har delvis varit att förstärka och tydliggöra rätten till sexuellt självbestämmande och sexuell integritet. Detta är två begrepp som har varit återkommande i sexualbrottslagstiftningen under senare år. Trots detta har tvåThe Swedish legislation on sexual offences has been subject to major changes over the years. The provision of rape has in various ways been extended and the coercion requirement has been reduced over time. The purpose of the changes has partly been to strengthen and clarify the sexual integrity and self-determination – two concepts that have been recurring in the legislation on sexual offences in
Industrisamhällets syn på resurshantering har länge sett densamma ut och följer en linjär konsumtionsmodell . Den modellen innebär att företag utvinner och extraherar material, använder dem för att skapa en produkt, säljer sedan den till konsumenten som gör sig av med produkten när hen inte längre har användning för den och till slut blir produkten till avfall (Ellen McArthur Foundation, 2013). DeIndusty’s view on resource management has for a long time looked the same and follows a linear consumption model. This type of consumption model puts a lot of pressure on the Earth’s resources. In contrast to this, the concept of circular economy has developed which aims to create a closed production loop by reusing “waste” and resources as well as by prolonging the life of materials (Leising, Qui

Majoriteten av bostäderna på landsbygden i Ukraina är ineffektiva ur ett energiperspektiv, och de har ett bristfälligt inomhusklimat. En stor del av bostadsbeståndet i Ukraina är i stort behov av renovering eftersom det är föråldrat och energianvändningen är hög. Mer än 70% av bostadsbeståndet beräknas ha behov av ytterligare isolering, och energianvändningen är i genomsnitt 210–240 kWh / (m² · årThe majority of the dwellings in the rural areas of Ukraine are inefficient from an energy perspective, as well as having an inadequate indoor climate. A large part of the housing stock in Ukraine is in great need of renovation as it is outdated, and the energy use is high. More than 70% of the housing stock is estimated to be in need of additional insulation, and energy use is on average at 210–2
The aim of this case study of Malmo is to investigate the relations between the perceived density and the physical density by comparing areas with different densities and distance from the city center and to which extend this may be connected to social justice. In this essay, social justice is defined as an even distribution of resources, services and opportunities regardless of one’s geographical
Barn som tar del av socialtjänstens heldygnsinsatser, exempelvis genom att vara placerade i familjehem, har ofta traumatiska erfarenheter och hög prevalens av psykisk ohälsa. Många upplever svårigheter inom utbildning, arbetsliv och socialt liv upp i vuxen ålder, men tidiga insatser verkar kunna bryta denna negativa spiral. Dock saknas tillräckligt med evidens för att säkerställa effekten av de inChildren in the social services' out-of-home care, for example, those living in family homes, often have traumatic experiences and a high prevalence of mental illness. Many have difficulties in education, work and social life into adulthood, but early intervention can potentially break the negative spiral. However, there is a lack of evidence of potential effects of the interventions offered.
