Other marketing strategies such as Femvertising utilise societal movements in order to be effective. These marke
Abstrakt. Bakgrund: Ergonomiska utmaningar är något som operationssjuksköterskan möter dagligen i sitt yrke.

Försäkringskassan uppger att sjukskrivning relaterat till dessa besvär (ergonomiska belastningsbesvär) är den näst vanligaste bland sjukskrivningar i Sverige 2

This thesis suggests Comprehensive Understanding as an alternative approach of sustainable corporate decision making. It shows how sustainability becomes the intrinsic rationale of corporate decision making in complex realities. The approach of Comprehensive Understanding is based on a synthesis of different concepts of sustainability science. As methods, a review of academic literature,a dialogue
The Öresund Region, comprising areas of Sweden and Denmark, is involved in a process of sustainable urban transformation. The region has high ambitions in terms of carbon emissions reduction and has set itself steep targets to meet over the next 15-20 years. The energy consumption of buildings accounts for a significant proportion of carbon emissions. With the urban areas of the Öresund Region exp
This paper evaluates the Swedish school reform that was implemented in 1992, at upper secondary school level. The reform implies that independent schools are welcome to compete on the school market and are publicly funded. This reform has led to an increase in the share of students attending independent schools. Several estimations are performed in this paper on what impact this increase of compet

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) exert trophic effects on striatal neurons in vitro, which raises the possibility that these growth factors might also counteract neuronal death provoked by various insults. We have found that BDNF and NT-3, but neither PDGF-AA nor -BB, added 24 h before the insult ameliorated hypoglycemic neu
The decoupling of energy use from economic growth is an essential element in the transition to a sustainable future. However, little is known about the long-term drivers of decoupling, especially considering the possibility that it is at least partially due to increased trade. This study uses structural decomposition analysis to examine the main factors that contribute to changes in the energy foo
Similarities and differences in the everyday clinical management of moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis in Nordic countries are unknown. Using a modified Delphi approach, 15 dermatologists from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden completed face-to-face and online questionnaires and participated in summary discussions to map expert opinion on the clinical management of moderate-to-severe atopic de
Data and literature related to water quality as well as nutrient loads were used to evaluate the Changjiang River (also Yangtze or Yangzi) Basin with respect to its hydrological regime, sediment transport, and eutrophication status. Waterbodies exhibited different eutrophic degrees following the ranking order of river < reservoir < lake. Most of the eutrophic lakes and reservoirs distributed in th
Swedish national breast cancer guidelines recommend that all women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) at the age of 35 years or younger should be referred to their regional oncogenetic clinic for genetic counseling and testing, regardless of family history of cancer. The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether place of residence at BC diagnosis and treating hospital were associated wit
