Background: Poor health and unmet healthcare needs is common among people with substance use disorder (SUD) including patients in opioid substitution treatment (OST). Low health literacy (HL) is associated with poverty, low education and physical limitations, but is unexplored in an OST context. Methods: Mixed-methods were used. Participants were consecutively recruited by clinic staff or research
Biochar has been extensively studied as a soil amendment for carbon sequestration and for improving soil quality; however, a systematic understanding of the responses of soil microbial biomass and diversity to biochar addition is lacking. Here, a meta-analysis of 999 paired data points from 194 studies shows that biochar increases microbial biomass but has variable effects on microbial diversity.
Health plays an essential role for human and economic development. This thesis consists of four independent empirical papers on health and health care in developing countries. The first paper investigates the relationship between globalization, democracy, and child health in low- and middle-income countries. Using panel data for 70 developing countries between 1970 and 2009 we examine how globaliz
BackgroundSubstandard and falsified medical products are a public health threat, primarily associated with low- and middle-income countries. Today, the phenomenon also exists in high-income countries. Increased Internet access has opened a global market. Self-diagnosis and self-prescription have boosted the market for unregulated websites with access to falsified medicines.AimTo describe the state
Bridge monitoring is essential for ensuring their long-term safety, reducing disruptions, and supporting economic and social activities. Traditional monitoring techniques rely on periodic inspections and contact-based sensing systems, which, while effective, have limitations due especially to high installation and maintenance costs. Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) o
Climate change affects the functioning of all of the components of food systems, often in ways that exacerbate existing predicaments and inequalities among regions of the world and groups in society. At the same time, food systems are a major cause of climate change, accounting for a third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Therefore, food systems can and should play a much bigger role in clim
Objectives: This study explored the relation between external shame, two types of self-criticism, and depressive, anxious and stress symptoms, in a clinical sample. Specifically, we set out to test whether the impact of external shame on such symptoms would be mediated by two forms of self-criticism. Method: A total of 279 patients (228 female and 51 male; mean age of 28.58) with axis I and II dis
Introduction: Despite a strong wish of most seniors to age in place, no services exist to support seniors in their residential reasoning, i.e., to plan and prepare for future housing needs. The aim of this study was to describe the first steps of development of a web-based housing counseling intervention aiming to promote active ageing.Material & Methods: A user-centered design process was app
Food systems are primary drivers of human and environmental health, but the understanding of their diverse and dynamic co-transformation remains limited. We use a data-driven approach to disentangle different development pathways of national food systems (i.e. ‘transformation archetypes’) based on historical, intertwined trends of food system structure (agricultural inputs and outputs and food tra
Family accommodation (FA) is widely-recognised as an important clinical phenomenon in obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders, and is related to poorer treatment outcomes. However, FA has not been quantitatively explored in Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The aim of this study was to investigate the patterns and correlates of maternal accommodation in adolescent BDD, and its asso
Almost 20 years ago, MSB's representatives published general advice and comments on fire protection at camping facilities (SRVFS2004:12). However, this is considered general advice and is not technically mandatory. This advice is linked to 2 kap. 2 § of the Act (2003:778) on protection against accidents, which in this case points out an obligation for owners and users of camping facilities to main
Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior
Push-pull technology (PPT) is a strategy for controlling agricultural pests, improving soil fertility, diversifying farm output, and reducing gender and age disparities. The benefits of PPT have been demonstrated in East Africa, but efforts to upscale its adoption can face many challenges. Agroecosystems comprise social-ecological networks, with interactions that transcend spatial and temporal sca
Transitioning to fossil-free transport and reducing car use are necessary to meet European and national climate goals. Cities are promising leverage points to facilitate system transitions by promoting local innovation and policy experimentation. Building on transition management, we developed a knowledge base for the implementation of transition experiments to reduce city-level car use. From scre
Kontaktförbudslagstiftningen har sedan den infördes varit omdiskuterad och stundvis kritiserad. I syfte att möjliggöra att fler kontaktförbud ska kunna meddelas reformerades lagen senast 2025. En av ändringarna var införandet av en ny grund för kontaktförbud, ”risk för otillbörlig övervakning”. Följande uppsats syftar till att undersöka den nya kontaktförbudsgrunden med särskilt fokus på vilka betThe Swedish legislation on restraining orders has been debated and often criticized. In order to broaden the possibility of getting a restraining order, the Swedish Government introduced a new legal ground, ”the risk of unwarranted surveillance”. This thesis aims to investigate the new legal ground, focusing on surveillance-related conduct on the social media platforms, Instagram and Snapchat, whi
In the Swedish contemporary media landscape, marked by limited financial resources, many local newspapers are searching for sustainable business models. This reality brings an unprecedented challenge: finding a balance between the market-driven demands of economic efficiency and audience expectations of trustworthy local news. A way of doing this is by writing captivating headlines that appeal to
