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
Background: It has been reported that caseload midwifery, which implies continuity of midwifery care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period, improves the outcomes for the mother and child. The aim of this study was to review benefits and risks of caseload midwifery, compared with standard care comparable to the Swedish setting where the same midwife usually provides antenatal care
Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless and odorless gas that is a leading cause of environmental poisoning in the USA with substantial mortality and morbidity. The mechanism of CO poisoning is complex and includes hypoxia, inflammation, and leukocyte sequestration in brain microvessel segments leading to increased reactive oxygen species. Another important pathway is the effects of CO o
BACKGROUND: Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in children with Paediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) has for many years been used on clinical indications, but the research evidence for its efficacy is insufficient.METHODS: Open-label prospective in-depth trial including ten children (median age 10.3 years) with PANS, who received IVIG treatment 2 g/kg monthly for t

Nesting phenology in birds has been studied for decades and two different breeding strategies have been identified, income and capital breeding. The nesting behaviour and the breeding strategies of 131 females were studied from three species, the Common eider (Somateria mollissima) (n = 65), known to be a capital breeder and two species the Velvet scoter (Melanitta fusca) (n = 48) and the Red-brea
INTRODUCTION AND AIM Virtual Visit Tool is a computer tool containing a total documentation of the delivery ward of Ystad Hospital in Sweden. Virtual Visit Tool places the user within a photo-realistic simulation of the delivery ward. This pilot study has two aims: 1) to analyse how pregnant women walk through the virtual delivery ward and to see what catches their attention during the virtual wal
According to EU directive 2008/98/EG all member states are obliged to strive for a sustainable use of resources. To achieve this, Sweden, as well as other states, have developed waste treatment plans to ensure that waste is being responsibly treated. However, the most crucial step is to prevent unnecessary recourses to be used in the first place. In an attempt to follow the directive in southern S
The debate on the inclusion of women in peacebuilding has hit the scholarship field and received wide attention in the last years. There is a greater understanding of the significance from including women in the peacebuilding process. Most existing research focuses on the inclusion of women in the peace process. This thesis also took the same direction but diverged in using postcolonial theories t
Skydd för kulturarv under internationell rätt introducerades i internationella konventioner i början på 1900-talet. Ursprungligen behandlades ämnet uteslutande i förhållande till regler gällande väpnad konflikt. Frågor om kulturarv har traditionellt sett tillhört den nationella jurisdiktionen men framväxandet av idén om ’världsarv’, kulturarv som på grund sitt värde tillhör alla folk och nationer,The protection of cultural heritage first appeared in international conventions at the beginning of the 20th century. At the time, protection was only awarded in the event of an armed conflict. Traditionally, questions of heritage and its eventual destruction belonged within the national jurisdiction but the emerge of internationalist ideas of a ‘common heritage of mankind’ changed the perception.
Today, Sweden is experiencing a significant pressure on the housing market. Most of the municipalities are facing a housing shortage, and the problem is especially acute in metropolitan regions. Currently, Sweden has one of the highest levels of urbanization in the EU and, taking into consideration the rising population, the lack of housing has become a national issue. Lund is a university town a
This is a project about local small scale production, a story about how an artisan designer could take on the IKEAs of the world armed with modern day technology and some old fashioned hard work. This project is at its core a reflection about the future of design general and my role in particular. This contemplative journey does a few stops along the way to discuss the following sentence and wh
Rättssäkerhet är en grundläggande förutsättning för ett fungerande samhälle. För att öka enskildas förtroende till staten krävs det att individen skyddas mot godtycklig rättstillämpning. Genom att garantera medborgarnas likhet inför lagen och lagars förutsebarhet ökar rättssäkerheten. Dessvärre korrelerar inte alltid rättssäkerheten med tillämpning av Sveriges lagar. Lagen (2014:307) om straff förRule of law is a fundamental requirement for a functioning society. To in-crease individuals' trust in the state, it is necessary to protect the individual against arbitrary application of the law. Guaranteeing citizens' equality before the law and the predictability of laws increases legal certainty. Unfortunately, legal certainty does not always correlate with the application of Sweden&#
This master’s thesis is about digital history and digital documents, studying attitudes and practises concerning this in some non-profit organizations. The study centres on how creators of archives handle their digital presence and on what they think about their digital material as part of their future history. The study has two main theoretical starting points: one in document theory, centring
The role of public transport in society is crucial, particularly for those who do not have access to alternative transport modes. For public transport to be able to fulfil its societal role, it should not be perceived as unsafe or unhealthy by its (potential) users. Several studies from all over the world have shown that anxiety has increased remarkably during the pandemic, and it is likely to las
BACKGROUND Anaesthesiology represents a rapidly evolving medical specialty in global healthcare, currently covering advanced peri-operative, pre-hospital and in-hospital critical emergency management (CREM), intensive care medicine (ICM) and pain management. The aim of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) is to develop and promote a coordinated interdisciplinary and m
Phthalates are mainly used as plasticizers and are associated inter alia with adverse effects on reproductive functions. While more and more national programs in Europe have started monitoring internal exposure to phthalates and its substitute 1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (DINCH), the comparability of results from such existing human biomonitoring (HBM) studies across Europe is challenging.
