På senare år har flera studier visat på att järnhalten ökar i sjöar och vattendrag i norra Europa. Järn spelar en nyckelroll i akvatiska miljöer genom att påverka tillgängligheten av andra näringsämnen i vattnet så som kväve och fosfor, vilket kan reglera tillväxten av växtplankton. Dessutom färgar järn tillsammans med organiskt material vatten brunt. När vattnet blir brunare försämras ljusklimateIron (Fe) concentrations are increasing in freshwaters (lakes and streams) in Sweden, as well as in other regions in northern Europe. Together with increasing concentrations of organic matter, Fe is contributing to the ongoing browning of freshwaters, which may have serious ecological consequences and implications for ecosystem services. The aim of this thesis was to investigated where, to what ex

This paper adds to the small literature on the role of welfare benefits and mental health by studying the relationship between uptake of Social Assistance Benefit (SAB) and objective mental health measures. We use rich longitudinal administrative data on income, unemployment benefits and psychopharmaceutic prescriptions (antidepressants, anxiolytics, and hypnotics) for more than 140,000 Swedes in

The use of material extrusion (MEX) has increased rapidly due to the affordability of 3D printers. This has led to a growing demand for improved print quality, high fidelity, strength, or fast print times. In this study, a non-planar approach for better surface quality is investigated. The hardware of a 3-axis MEX printer was developed together with testing new software for non-planar slicing. The

Trots växande insatser förblir kustnära anpassning fragmenterad och otillräcklig när det gäller att hantera sårbarheten hos dem som drabbas mest. Dessa brister är inte enbart tekniska utan även politiska, formade av konkurrerande idéer om vad som räknas som anpassning och vem den tjänar. Även om det finns ett växande erkännande av behovet för att förstå de olika sätt på vilka anpassning upplevs ocDespite growing efforts, coastal adaptation remains fragmented and insufficient in addressing the vulnerabilities of those most affected. These shortcomings are not only technical but political, shaped by competing ideas about what counts as adaptation and whom it serves. Although there is growing recognition of the need to understand the various ways adaptation is known and experienced, empirical

BACKGROUND: Pramipexole, a dopamine agonist, has demonstrated antidepressant efficacy as an augmentation strategy in unipolar and bipolar depression. However, dopaminergic treatments are associated with impulse control disorders, including gambling disorder, and evidence regarding behavioural risks in psychiatric populations remains limited.METHODS: We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort

Regardless of one’s opinion of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), it is hardly possible to work in hospital care and not be exposed to the term or its practical effects. Despite the term being relatively new, the number of publications in the field is vast, including several excellent reviews of general and specific aspects. Work in antimicrobial stewardship is complex, and includes not on

BACKGROUND: Many therapists practise PC6 acupuncture for emesis (nausea and vomiting) during pregnancy, different cancer therapies, palliative care, after surgery, or to induce relaxing effects in general. Knowledge of side effects is central to shared decision-making.AIM: To describe the type and frequency of side effects and the level of needle-induced pain during PC6 acupuncture.METHODS: We inc

Det har skett en markant ökning av medellivslängden för personer med intellektuell funktions-nedsättning under de senaste decennierna och allt fler uppnår pensionsåldern och hög ålder. Ökningen är ett direkt resultat av medicinska och sociala framsteg. Samtidigt är det en grupp som har svårigheter att uttrycka sina behov och där forskning visat att deras åldrande ter sig annorlunda än för befolkni

Abstract in Danish Kapitlet viser først gennem en historisk analyse, at det er et relativt nyt fænomen, at de pårørende til mennesker, som trænger til hjælp i det danske sundhedssystem, på hospitalet, på plejehjemmet, i eget hjem og alle andre steder, beskrives og tænkes som en del af sundhedsvæsnet. Herefter gøres analytiske nedslag på hospitalet, plejehjemmet og i hjemmeplejen mhp. at se, hvorda

Heterogamy is linked to less effective contraceptive use amongst adolescents. It is not known whether this holds for married/cohabiting women, though the couple context of dating partners differs from stable relationships with respect to communication and power. We explore the association between heterogamy and women’s choice of contraception by analyzing partnered women from the 2006-2010 Nationa
