Firearm deaths in Sweden

BackgroundSweden’s firearm legislation obligates physicians to report patients that are deemed unsuitable to possess a firearm. This study aimed to explore the involvement of firearm use in firearm fatalities and to evaluate physician reporting concerning cases of firearm deaths.MethodsFatal firearm suicides and homicides in Sweden were studied for the years 2012–2013, accidental deaths and undete

Wetland areas' direct contributions to residents' well-being entitle them to high cultural ecosystem values

Wetlands in urban areas will be crucial to counteract the effects of climate change, for example, by improving flood protection and regulating local climate. To gain acceptance for larger-scale creation of wetlands, total values must be identified and revealed. Provisioning and regulating ecosystem services can be described as the quantitative effect, but cultural ecosystem services require other

Beyond rhythmanalysis : Towards a territoriology of rhythms and melodies in everyday spatial activities

The recent, rich scholarship on rhythms, following in the wake of Lefebvre’s book Éléments de rythmanalyse (1992), proves that rhythmanalysis is an important sensitising notion and research technique. Despite its increasing recognition, however, rhythmanalysis has not yet become a proper science as its proponents had hoped. In this article, we argue that rhythmanalysis could benefit from being fur

Community as a Key Word: : A Heuristic for Action-Oriented Sustainability Research

In this article, I outline the foundations of a consistent and systematic approach to conceptualizing communities in action-oriented sustainability research. More specifically, I develop a conceptual heuristic based on key questions related to ontology, epistemology, methodology and motivation that should be useful for researchers regarding the process of initiating, clarifying and reporting on re

A critical realist inquiry in conducting interdisciplinary research : An analysis of LUCID examples

The scale and complexity of contemporary sustainability challenges necessitates interdisciplinarity in research and pluralism in practice. In recent year, however, a strong natural science hegemony has predominantly framed our understanding of the dynamics of nature and society. This strong hegemonic conceptualization of global predicaments is troublesome given both the drivers of sustainability c

On the Accuracy Problem in Identification

The estimates obtained from data from an identification experiment depend on a number of items, such as the identification method used, the model structure used and the input signal generation. Effects of these items on the accuracy of the estimates are investigated. Linear, discrete-time systems are treated. Special attention is paid to systems operating in closed loop and to the effects of the f

Human Rights Due Diligence and the Root Causes of Harm in Business Operations : A Textual and Contextual Analysis of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights

Following John Ruggie’s UN mandate (2005-2011) the notion of human rights due diligence (HRDD) has become widely used by policymakers, corporations, NGOs and professionals. The question is whether this HRDD concept, as developed in the UN Guiding Principles (GPs), adequately addresses the deeper causes of human rights infringements in business operations. This article provides a textual and contex

HAVOSS: A Maturity Model for Handling Vulnerabilities in Third Party OSS Components

Security has been recognized as a leading barrier for IoT adoption. The growing number of connected devices and reported software vulnerabilities increases the importance firmware updates. Maturity models for software security do include parts of this, but are lacking in several aspects. This paper presents and evaluates a maturity model (HAVOSS) for handling vulnerabilities in third party OSS and

Gastrointestinal microbiota contributes to the development of murine transfusion-related acute lung injury

Transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) is a syndrome of respiratory distress upon blood transfusion and is the leading cause of transfusion-related fatalities. Whether the gut microbiota plays any role in the development of TRALI is currently unknown. We observed that untreated barrier-free (BF) mice suffered from severe antibody-mediated acute lung injury, whereas the more sterile housed s
