The temporality of territorial production : The case of Stortorget, Malmö

In recent years, we have seen the development of a more relational approach to territoriality. This perspective, which focuses on events rather than space, also opens up for an elaboration of temporal aspects of territorial production. In this study, I investigate the central urban square, Stortorget, in Malmö, Sweden, in order to develop a discussion of a time-space territorology. In 1978, Korose

Cloud Droplet Forming Potential of Ageing Soot and Surfactant Particles : Laboratory research and Köhler modelling

Aerosol particles affect Earth’s climate system by scattering and absorbing light. The perturbation of the climate system caused by a change in aerosol configuration due to anthropogenic emissions has recently improved. However, the radiation balance and hydrological cycle of Earth are also highly influenced by clouds: a small change in cloud configuration can have a large effect on the climate. C

Castle and Commerce in Medieval Sweden - the Examples of Stockholm, Borgholm and Piksborg.

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the connection between castles, commerce and urbanity in Scandinavia. This is made by comparing three Swedish royal castles. The castle in Stockholm has its roots in the twelfth or thirteenth century and was founded in connection with the contemporary town. Here are indications that the merchants in an early phase lived in the bailey of the castle. The casIt is generally accepted that there were well-established relationships between castles and commerce in medieval Sweden. However, to date, the complexities of those relationships have arguably not been fully explored. Through focusing on archaeological evidence from three very different examples, Stockholm, Borgholm and Piksborg, this paper seeks to illustrate the variety of often intimate and com

Parents' attitudes to risk and injury to children and young people on farms

Objectives Children and young people growing up in a farm environment run a greater risk of being injured or dying in an accident than their non-farming counterparts. This study examines farming parents' attitudes and experiences of having their children grow up on farms, one of the most dangerous work environments as their home, everyday environment and playground. Method Data were collected usin

Patterns of somatic diagnoses in older people with intellectual disabilities : A Swedish 11-year register-based study of inpatient data

Aim: To investigate patterns of somatic inpatient ICD-10 diagnoses in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) 55 years and older in relation to age over an 11-year period, and to compare these patterns with a general population sample. Method: The study was based on Swedish national registers. The ID group (n=7936) comprised people who were aged 55 or above in 2012. They were age- and sexmatche

Drug use and healthcare consumption among persons with intellectual disabilities and dementia: A registry study

Aim: To describe drug use and healthcare utilisation among persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) and dementia in comparison to persons with ID only and dementia only. Method: From the group of persons with ID (n=7936), 216 individuals with dementia were identified. 81 persons with dementia were identified from a general population sample matched by age and sex. Information on outcomes was co

Höjd pensionsålder kräver anpassad arbetsmiljö

Vi lever längre och befolkningen blir därför allt äldre. Som vårt nuvarande pensionssystem är uppbyggt måste vi jobba två tredjedelar av vårt vuxna liv för att systemet ska fungera. Därför ligger det förslag om att justera pensionsåldern till 69 år. Men för att fler ska kunna och vilja arbeta till en högre ålder krävs en rad organisatoriska förändringar på dagens arbetsplatser. Att gå i pension är

Aging with intellectual disability: A prevalence study of older people in Sweden

Aim: Life expectancy of people with intellectual disability (ID) has increased along with that in the general population. The aims were to estimate prevalence of older people with intellectual disabilities (ID) during 2004-2012, and identify differences in prevalence across counties in Sweden. Method: Individuals aged 55+ years were identified through two national registers; the LSS register and t

Patterns of somatic healthcare utilisation in people with intellectual disabilities: A Swedish 11-year register-based study

Aim: To explore somatic healthcare utilisation patterns among people with intellectual disabilities (ID) 55 years and older living in Sweden in comparison with the general population. Method: The ID group (n = 7936) comprised people with ID who were 55 years and older in 2012. A general population sample (n = 7936) was age- and sexmatched. The sample was divided into four age groups:

Makroinnovationer, långsiktig ekonomisk utveckling och framtida utsläpp av växthusgaser

Samhället förändras kontinuerligt. Hur samhällsutvecklingen ser påverkar energiefterfrågan och utsläppen av växthusgaser. Sedan den industriella revolutionens genombrott har Sverige gått igenom tre större samhällsomställningar som har haft en stor inverkan på energisystemet och därmed utsläppen. Syftet med denna underlagsrapport är att diskutera drivkrafterna bakom dessa omställningar och vilka lä

PEPPSI-type Complexes of Palladium and Platinum: : Investigation of Properties and Applications in Catalysis

Catalysis is a powerful tool to highly efficient production of desired newchemicals by acceleration of a chemical reaction rate. Special compounds used forthis purpose are called catalysts; they induce a change in the chemicalenvironment without being consumed during the process. Catalysis affects manyfields of life leading to a decrease of the energy use, less pollution, fewer sideproducts and loCatalysis is a powerful tool to highly efficient production of desired newchemicals by acceleration of a chemical reaction rate.

Cardiovascular events associated with use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in chronic myeloid leukemia

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have increased survival dramatically for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but continuous administration of these drugs may elicit long-term toxicity. Objective: To investigate the incidence of vascular events in patients with CML treated with first-and second-generation TKIs. Design: Retrospective cohort study using nationwide population-b

Integrated molecular pathway analysis informs a synergistic combination therapy targeting PTEN/PI3K and EGFR pathways for basal-like breast cancer

Background: The basal-like breast cancer (BLBC) subtype is characterized by positive staining for basal mammary epithelial cytokeratin markers, lack of hormone receptor and HER2 expression, and poor prognosis with currently no approved molecularly-targeted therapies. The oncogenic signaling pathways driving basal-like tumorigenesis are not fully elucidated. Methods: One hundred sixteen unselected

Spatial heterogeneity in repeated measures of perceived stress among car commuters in Scania, Sweden

BACKGROUND: Long commutes by car are stressful. Most research studying health effects of commuting have summarized cross-sectional data for large regions. This study investigated whether the levels of stress and individual characteristics among 30–60 min car commuters were similar across different places within the county of Scania, Sweden, and if there were changes over time. METHODS: The study p
