This study assesses the short and medium-term impact of extreme temperatures on population health and health-related costs in Germany. For 1999 to 2008, we link the universe of 170 million hospital admissions and all 8 million deaths with weather and pollution data at the day-county level. Extreme heat significantly and immediately increases hospitalizations and deaths. This finding holds irrespec

In this paper, I seek to investigate the effect of economic conditions on mental ill health and substance abuse among young adults in Sweden. I investigate whether this effect differs across population subgroups, defined by age, sex, foreign background and educational attainment. In robustness analyses, I also investigate asymmetry in the effect of macroeconomic conditions on mental health and sub

In the global context of an ever-growing trend of automobility and all its drawbacks, cycling offers an environmentally and socially sustainable transport alternative. Copenhagen has become one of the best cities for cycling, and impressive advances in promoting this practice have raised their cycling share up to 41% of all trips to work/education. However, municipal cycling goals have been postpo

The purpose of this thesis is to present what weather protection is used for in wooden constructions and to investigate, evaluate and compare different weather protection available on the market today with a focus on their quality, function, user-friendliness, price and impact on the work environment. This project is divided into two parts. The first part is a literature study to gain a greater in

Skyddsrum ska tillgodose civilbefolkningens behov av fysiskt skydd vid väpnat angrepp. Det har inte byggts några nya skyddsrum sedan 2002 men befolkningen har ökat. Totalförsvarsplaneringen har återupptagits med anledning av att den säkerhetspolitiska situationen i Europa har förändrats. Ett väpnat angrepp mot Sverige kan inte uteslutas. Av 3 kap. 9 § MB framgår att de prioriterade områdena för dThe purpose of shelters is to provide protection to the civilian population in case of war. Any new shelters have not been built in Sweden since 2002 but the population has increased. The national defense planning has been resumed because of changes in the security policy situation Europe. War against Sweden cannot be ruled out. According to the 3rd chapter 9 § The Swedish Environmental Code (MB)

Jezebel (in this essay, Isebel) is often described as the evillest woman in the Bible and has for many reasons become a favourite in feminist exegesis. In this thesis, I put Jezebel in her context: historical, religious, social, political, and try to discern the following aspects: • How is Isebel as a character depicted in the Bible? • Why is she depicted in this way? • What can we know about Iseb

There is not much that can compete with pre- paring and enjoying a meal, cooked to perfec- tion, in the company of friends. No matter how skilled you are at cooking or baking, it is impossible to achieve the same quality of bread and pizza as in a restaurant since a regular household oven will not genera- te the temperature or taste needed. To solve this I set out to design a way for homeowner

Behovet av mer miljövänliga lösningar har aldrig varit större än idag. Mängden koldioxidutsläpp ökar ständigt, vilket leder till ökad mängd koldioxid i atmosfären. Vid tillverkning av plast används idag vanligtvis olja som råmaterial, men man kan använda biobaserat råmaterial i stället såsom socker. I Sverige produceras socker av sockerbetor. En restprodukt är då melass en tjock sirapsliknande socMolasses is a low value by-product from sugar production that is usually used for animal feed, bioethanol fermentation, and yeast growth substrate. Even though it is a by-product and most of the sugar have been taken out the molasses still contains a fair amount of sugar that can be used for production of HMF, a biobased platform chemical with many areas of application, for example as a feedstock

The main goal of this thesis is to examine the causal effect of the hybrid war with Ukraine beginning from 2014 on Russian export of services towards its main services importers in Belarus, Kazakhstan, China, Cyprus, Switzerland, Germany, United States of America, United Kingdom, Türkiye in years 2006-2020 with the execeptions of 2010 and 2011 due to data limitations.

This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner

I samband med att vi människor bor allt tätare och träffas allt oftare, ökar tyvärr även spridningen av virus. Det som tidigare i historien var en epidemi, blir nu snabbt en pandemi (t.ex. coronapandemin med start 2020). Mot denna bakgrund står det klart att vårt immunförsvar spelar en avgörande roll för vår hälsa och i sin tur samhällets funktion. Vår bästa metod är som bekant att träna upp vårt Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. This way, a cell signal from the TCR to the nucleus can be initiated. Depending on the "m

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a part of the globalization process, a process increasing all over the world. These investments affect people, both in the home economy and the host economy. People in the host economy are, due to several aspects, affected in different ways. One of those aspects is gender. Gender inequality in the world is well known, women have less political, economic and socia

Av företrädesprincipen följer att EUF-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet och icke-diskriminering har företräde framför nationell rätt. Innebörden av principen är bland annat att nationella domstolar vid rättstillämpningen har att åsidosätta en nationell reglering som är oförenlig med EUF-fördraget. Kommissionen har till uppgift att kontrollera så att medlemsstaterna uppfyller EU-rättens bestAs a consequence of the supremacy doctrine, the provisions of free movement and non-discrimination in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), prevail over national legislation. Pursuant to this principle, a national regulation inconsistent with the TFEU must be set aside in national court proceedings. The Commission shall ensure that the Member States comply with the regulation

Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th

This study is about the extent of how church law (of 1571, 1686 and 2000) in Sweden has affected and still affects the church's welfare administrations such as schools, hospitals and care institutions. Recent studies seem to indicate that the Church of Sweden is aiming to start expanding its organisation to include more social welfare activities to meet increasing demands from the general publ
