In this paper some findings from a pilot study regarding the use of risk- and vulnerability analysis in society's management of extreme events is presented. The study consisted of two major parts. The first part was an interview study with the main objective to generate a preliminary overview of methods and procedures used by 9 selected Swedish governmental agencies in their risk- and crisis manag
Well developed emergency response capabilities are crucial in order to keep the risk in a community at low levels. Analysing these capabilities before an emergency occurs is important since it can identify weaknesses and possibilities for improvements. To start off from an operational definition is a possible point of departure in such an analysis. In this paper, therefore, we develop an operation
Preparedness planning is part of the disaster management process in many countries and it includes building capabilities to improve the effectiveness of response to various scenarios. Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom all use risk and vulnerability analyses together with capability assessments as part of their preparations for disasters. Whereas the definitions of risk and vulnerabili
In this paper an approach for employing risk and vulnerability analyses as the basis for emergency preparedness planning is discussed and exemplified using a case study. The study consisted of three connected parts: a broad scope hazard identification and analysis, an assessment of potential assistance needs should any of the hazards materialise and finally a mapping of actors and dependencies. Th
Background: International migration has been on the rise over the past few decades and is expected to remain high. Young people make up a significant proportion of those migrating. It has long been known that young people are at greater risk of sexual violence and there is growing evidence that migrants too, are particularly vulnerable. There is a lack of evidence on young migrants’ vulnerability
We suggest a method that can be used for analysing an emergency response system. Both the literature and empirical findings indicate that response operations sometimes diverge from existing plans when adapting to an event and its consequences. The method, which aims at achieving a better understanding of emergency response management, adopts a systems perspective using various relationships that e
In making societal decisions concerning hazards with potentially disastrous consequences it is important to have soundly based knowledge of how people evaluate the seriousness of disasters. In the present study a group of students evaluated the seriousness of disasters described in terms of four basic attributes (and their ranges): number of fatalities (0-1000), number of serious injuries (0-4000)
This essay attempts to shed light on why aggressive ideas gain support within established western states. To do that it attempts to answer the question why the armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support during the first four months of 2003 within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. A comparative study indicates that the justifications for the armed con
OBJECTIVES: To analyze whether there is an association between neighborhood deprivation and cervical cancer morbidity and mortality, beyond individual level characteristics. DESIGN: The entire Swedish population aged 25 to 74, a total of 1.9million women, were followed from January 1, 1990, until hospital admission due to cervical cancer during the study period, or the end of the study on Dece
Objective: Using Swedish nationwide registry data, the authors investigated genetic and environmental risk factors in the etiology of drug abuse by twin sibling modeling. The authors followed up with epidemiological analyses to identify shared environmental influences on drug abuse. Method: Drug abuse was defined using public medical, legal, or pharmacy records. Twin and sibling pairs were obtaine
Environmental exposures, including smoking, hormone-related factors, and metabolic factors, have been implicated in the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A previous study has indicated that blood lipid levels may influence the development of RA. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of serum total cholesterol and triglycerides on the risk of RA in a prospective study.
This article stresses the significance of recognising interdependencies between factors determining disaster risk in any attempts to integrate disaster risk reduction in international development cooperation. It bases its arguments on the case studies of four past projects in Sri Lanka and Tajikistan, which are scrutinised using a theoretical framework based on systems approaches. It appears that

Bakgrund: Några av de viktigaste aspekterna att ta hänsyn till i vår nutid är att konsumera hållbart och minska mängden avfall vi efterlämnar. En del enskilda individer har börjat ta aktivt ansvar för sin egna miljöpåverkan och sociala medier har visat sig vara ett viktigt verktyg i att engagera sig i hållbarhet. Detta för att nå ut till andra, engagera dem, sprida medvetenhet och kommunicera medBackground: Some of the most important aspects to take into account in our present time are to consume sustainably and reduce the amount of waste we leave behind.

Den globala uppvärmningen gör sig ständigt påmind genom extremväder och naturkatastrofer. Vid klimatkonferensen COP21 år 2015 undertecknade i stort sett alla världens länder Parisavtalet med målet att temperaturökningen ska begränsas. För att uppnå Parisavtalets mål ligger en stor del i att länder behöver minska sina utsläpp av växthusgaser. Sverige har minskat sina utsläpp med 35 procent sedan 19Global warming is constantly reminding us of its presence through extreme weather and natural disasters. At the COP21 climate conference in 2015, almost every country in the world signed the Paris Agreement with the aim of limiting temperature increase. The countries need to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve this. Since 1990, Sweden has reduced its emissions by 35 percent, and in 20
