The aims of this study are first to compare the incidence of force on the first occasion of sexual intercourse reported by participants with disabilities to that of students without disabilities; second to determine whether there are significant differences in mental health, substance abuse, and school performance as reported by participants forced into their sexual debut as opposed to those who w
Objectives: Counts of missing teeth or measures of incident tooth loss are gaining attention as a simple way to measure dental status in large population studies. We explore the meaning of these metrics and how missing teeth might influence other measures of dental status. Methods: An observational study was performed in 2 contrasting adult populations. In total, 62 522 adult participants were ava
Background: Sex workers have high incidences of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Although, interventions targeting sex workers have shown to be effective, evidence on which strategies are most cost-effective is limited. This study aims to systematically review evidence on the cost-effectiveness of sexual health interventions for sex workers on a global level. It also evaluates the qual
Within the framework of a Swedish national experiment with different types of Intelligent Speed Adaptation, 300 vehicles are being equipped with an active gas pedal in the city of Lund. The active gas pedal provides drivers with counter-force whenever they try to exceed the pre-set speed limit. During the experiment the equipment will be continuously set on the actual speed limit. The vehicles wil
The word queer landed in Sweden in a terminological and theoretical vacuum. It was not that nobody had studied issues and theories relating to sexualities and identities before queer theory were introduced, but the approach of the then new queer theory was slightly different. Above all, it concerned a term that had no history in the Swedish language. Queer is not a Swedish word, and therefore it c
S-phase fraction (SPF), estimated in the flow cytometric DNA histogram, is a prognostic factor in breast cancer. There are, however, some inherent difficulties in the estimation of SPF, such as the influence of debris, aggregates, and normal cells. Most of the available SPF calculation principles try to consider these difficulties, but so far no consensus has been reached with regard to which prin
In a north European context, identifying invasive species is far from trivial because the vegetation has been influenced by human activities for thousands of years. New species have immigrated continuously since the end of the last glaciation, both spontaneously and through direct or indirect help by man. Still, newly immigrated species may be problematic in a nature conservation context and may h
BackgroundThe greatest potential to reduce the burden of stroke is by primary prevention of first-ever stroke, which constitutes three quarters of all stroke. In addition to population-wide prevention strategies (the mass' approach), the high risk' approach aims to identify individuals at risk of stroke and to modify their risk factors, and risk, accordingly. Current methods of assessing and modif
Uganda’s development-based refugee model is widely recognised as the most progressive in the world by the international community. The model has however come under solid pressure owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and food insecurity among refugees in the country has become a major problem. This study examines how the pandemic has affected urban and settlement-based refugees’ food security with a par
A foreign individual who is considered an expert, researcher or otherwise an important person (nyckelperson) may currently be covered by what is commonly referred to as the expert tax rules (expertskattereglerna). Individuals who receive remuneration above a certain level are also subject to these rules. Under these rules, certain benefits qualify as tax-free as well as a part of the renumeration
Fire-safety documentation is an essential part of regular inspections during the building operations and maintenance phase. As help, service drawings exist to detail the positions of various fire-safety devices and their addresses, as well as fire zone coverage throughout the floors and sectors of a building. Automatically extracting this information would be immensely helpful towards, for example
Översvämningshotade byggnader är ett växande problem som uppkommer till följd av havsnivåhöjningen. Problemet är större i södra delar av landet, där många fastigheter riskerar att ta skada eller förstöras till följd av översvämningar. För att förbereda Skåne och Halland för framtiden behövs därför informationen hur havsnivåhöjningen kommer uttrycka sig. Detta projekt fokuserar på att samla, förvalBuildings threatened by folding is an ever-increasing problem due to sea level rise. The problem is greater in the southern parts of Sweden compared to the rest of the country, where a lot of properties are at risk of being destroyed or damaged as a consequence of floods. To prepare Scania and Halland for the future, information about the sea level rise is therefore needed. This project focuses on
About 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The phenomenon is common throughout the population, but bereaved women and couples struggle nonetheless. Lang et al. (2011) have shown that a miscarriage can cause shock, grief and pain and lead women into questioning their reproductive abilities. Hiefner (2012) has argued that pregnancy loss is surrounded by a norm of silence, making it difficul
Title: Ensuring Supplier Compliance to Stakeholder Demands Author: Fanny Åklundh Supervisors: Stefan Olander, Department of Building Production, LTH Brian Sieben, Head of Sourcing Excellence, Hilti Group Examiner: Radhlinah Aulin, Department of Building Production, LTH Purpose: To create a conceptual framework for defining requirements for supplier qualification in terms of certificates and
This study aims to contribute knowledge to the needs of managers in support of the return-to-work process of a burnt-out employee. This study explores managers’ perspectives on the organisational factors that they experience, how these factors affect them in the return to work process for a burnt out employee, and how these factors affect their feeling of being supported by their organisations and
Tillverkning av batterier är en mycket komplex process och det är en process som Saft AB är väl förtrogen med. För att kunna producera det antal batterier Saft AB gör måste de se till att alla led i produktionen håller en viss standard. Detta projekt hade i mål att utveckla ett användarcentrerat, interaktivt verktyg för Saft AB med förmågan att övervaka och analysera data som samlas in av sensorerThe production of batteries is a substantially complex process, and it is a process with which Saft AB is greatly familiarised. In order to produce the number of batteries Saft AB does, they need to ensure that all stages of production adhere to a certain standard. This project’s purpose aimed to develop a user focused, interactive tool for Saft AB with the capability to monitor and analyse the da
To examine the potential influence of terrestrially derived DOM on the Baltic Sea, a year-long study of dissolved organic matter (DOM) was performed in three river catchments in Sweden. One catchment drains into the Bothnian Sea, while two southern catchments drain into the Baltic proper. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations were positively correlated with discharge from forested catchmen
