Background Implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) is a priority to improve service delivery and outcomes. Clinicians’ EBP attitudes are likely to play a crucial role in implementation but are poorly understood. This study aimed to assess variation in EBP attitudes in a large national sample of CAMHS clinicians in Sweden, and to compar
Many of the original sociological premises, concepts and ideas regarding social action, legal change and social reform were initially formulated by studying conditions specific to Western industrial societies. The socio-cultural consequences of globalisation over the last three decades have, however, affected the relationship between state, law and society, blurred sharply drawn distinctions betwe
Sediment-dispersed extraterrestrial chromite grains (63-355 mu m) have been recovered in a section across the Arenig-Llanvirn transition in the Killerod quarry in southeastern Scania. Previous studies of the same stratigraphic interval in the Orthoceratite Limestone at Kinnekulle, ca. 350 km to the north in Vastergotland, have shown a two orders of magnitude increase in extraterrestrial chromite b
Purpose: To presents results after 18 months of follow-up of a longitudinal study aiming at exploring the correlation between diabetic retinal vascular lesions and functional change. Methods: Patients were consecutively recruited from attendees to the screening program for diabetic retinopathy. Subjects are followed every sixth month for the first 3 years and thereafter annually up to 5 years. Pro
Evidence suggests that educational differences in perinatal outcomes have increased in some countries (Eastern Europe) while remained stable in others (Scandinavian countries). However, less is known about the experience of Southern Europe. This study aims to evaluate the association between maternal education and perinatal outcomes derived from birthweight (low birthweight and macrosomia) and ges
In order to reduce its environmental impact, the chemical industry no longer produces base chemicals such as ethylene, solely from fossil, but also from biomass-based feedstocks. However, a biomass option suitable for one region might not be as suitable for another region due to, e.g., long transport and the related environmental. Therefore, local biomass alternatives and the environmental impact
The building sector uses about 40% of the total global energy use. Sweden aims to reach its new goal to reduce the energy use in their residential sector as well as commercial sector by 20%, which should be reached by year 2020 and 50% by year 2050. To find a solution to this problem European Union (EU) collaborated with IVL (Swedish environmental Research Institute) and LKF (lunds Kommuns Fastigh
Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th
The start-up company LEVTEK is launching a new ultralight electric utility vehicle called the LEVKART. The Levkart uses a combination of robotics and AI-technology to offer semi-autonomous or autonomous riding and usage. The purpose of the vehicle is to serve as an alternative to cargo bikes and electric scooters designed for easy usage and as a more sustainable option to fossil-based transport. T
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) transitions sustainability reporting from voluntary to mandatory, aiming to enhance transparency and improve sustainability practices. A new demand from the directive is that companies need to report information on their supply chain, ensuring cooperation throughout supply chains as essential for implementing the CSRD effectively while mainta
The construction sector accounts for a significant portion of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions and is a contributing factor to several other current environmental issues. Given this, demolitions are problematic from an environmental perspective. The aim of this study is to examine demolition permits granted within the City of Stockholm and assess the associated climate impact. The resea
This thesis investigates the role of sense of place narratives in the scaling of conflicts, using the Israel-Gaza conflict as a critical case study. Existing literature has extensively discussed scale framing and the significance of scale in conflict resolution but has not fully explored the mechanisms through which the scaling of conflicts occurs. The study aims to address this gap by proposing a
With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:
There is growing pressure from stakeholders on global corporations to ensure the sustainability of their products throughout the supply chain. At the same time, due to the high complexity and dynamism of supply chains, companies often do not know what actors operate in their supply chains beyond direct suppliers. Supply chain visibility (SCV) and transparency (SCT) are crucial for ensuring respons
The rise of global and alternative distribution channels in the automotive industry puts pressure on importers and dealerships, as they face the threat of substitution when it comes to the downstream distribution activities in the automotive supply chain. Thus, to attain a competitive advantage automotive importers and their respective dealerships must strive for a high degree of collaboration in
