This Swedish national study aimed to describe the extent of such deaths, circumstancesand fatal injuries. Data, including all explosion-related deaths in Sweden from 2000 through 2018, were retrieved from theregister of the National Board of Forensic

Treatment resistant depression (TRD) and suicidal behavior are among the most important public health problems and are commonly associated with significant disability and psychosocial impairment. Although there have been recent advances in identifying neurobiological correlates of these complex conditions, their pathophysiology still remains unclear. Although the recent advances concerning the neu

The first part of the article is an outline of the nature of sexual harassment, its extent and the growing awareness of it. The second part considers why there was a need for a community initiative and looks at the extent of sexual harassment in the Member States, the consequences of sexual harassment, legal remedies and the impact it has on the community's principles, including health and safety

It has been argued that competitive elite sport both a) reduces the humanity of athletes by turning them into beings whose sole value is determined in relation to others, and b) is motivated by a celebration of the genetically superior and humiliation of the weak. This paper argues that while a) is a morally reproachable attitude to competition, it is not what competitive elite sport revolves arou

This paper presents an acoustofluidic chip for the sorting of bacteria from protozoa in water using standing acoustic waves. The size-based acoustophoretic sorting method provides a means for sample pre-concentration, which is vital for real-time, on-site monitoring of drinking water quality and preventing outbreak of waterborne diseases. In practice, high throughput and high recovery pre-concentr

This paper presents results from a project on the experiences of Palestinian refugee youth in Lebanon, taking part in NGO programs for facilitating university education. To what extent may such informal educational projects be instrumental in circumventing and counteracting social exclusion? And how do such initiatives interrelate with constructions of senses of “Palestinianess” among their young

Klimatförändringen och barns rättigheter i svenska kommuner Klimatrelaterade katastrofer drabbar främst barn i låginkomstländer men vad innebär klimatförändringen och relaterade utsläpp för barns rättigheter i Sverige? Den här studien ger en bild av vilka klimatrelaterade risker som barn i Sverige kan drabbas av och hur dessa kan relateras till barnets rättigheter enligt barnkonventionen till livChildren’s rights are affected by climate change in numerous ways but few research studies on the subject have been conducted in Swedish municipalities. The objectives of this study have therefore been to assess the impact on children’s rights due to climate change in Sweden and the influence of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) on climate policies and measures in Swe

The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, the famous international mathematical journal. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with complex analysis. The Mittag-Leffler theorem which built on Karl Weierstrass' work asserts the existence of meromorphic function with prescribed poles and principal parts. The main purpo

Narrative is one method of tapping individual and collective memory where human experience is organized into temporally meaningful episodes and where a "point" is often made. In research projects that I have carried out about working life, "body stories" are often spontaneously related in making a "point." These stories exemplify "doing gender"-that is how gendered relations (that revolve around e

The European Union is often portrayed as a soft, civilian power. In this thesis we question this view of the Union, by comparing it to the United States of America; usually described as a hard power user. We compare the foreign policy actions of the EU and the US in the seventeen conflicts of 2004. With help from K. J. Holsti's division of strategies to exercise power we create our own tool fo

The period of 1880-1910 was a time of fast modernization and industrialization in Transylvania. Fertility decline only started in the South, while in the North there was a marked fertility increase. This paper attempts to explain these differences, using a cross-sectional analysis of fertility for 4112 Transylvanian settlements. The factors affecting fertility are modeled using the Eastrelin-Crimm

This study explores how Olympic legacy is leveraged as a branding tool by the International Olympic Committee and host nations, applying Mats Urde's Brand Identity Matrix to the Opening Ceremonies of Paris 2024, Rio 2016, and Beijing 2008. We conduct a qualitative analysis of secondary data to uncover key alignments and misalignments in legacy communication. We develop a Dual Mission Framework

This study explores why men's employment rates remain relatively stable after childbirth, in contrast to the significant changes often observed in women's employment. Despite progress in gender equality, cultural, economic, and structural factors continue to influence parental work patterns across European countries. Using survey data from the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP),
