Cross-sectional data were collected between 1986 and 1991 on 8959

The journal first appeared in 1986 and is a part of the activities of Islamiska Informationsföreningen. From the beginning, Salaam has been edited by female converts to Islam in their twenties or early thirties. Female converts also account for a large number of the texts that ha
Research suggests that access to transport, communication, market, and social infrastructure is important for provision of health. Humanitarian organizations - realizing the importance of building local capacities - are allocating noticeable time and resources on the process. But, studies testing this relationship are scant. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relation between transpor

Women-focused development initiatives have become a controversial issue connected with women's health and welfare. Previous studies indicated that development initiatives might increase women's workload, family conflict, and marital violence. This study explored the gendered characteristics of a development initiative Rural Mother Center in Bangladesh. Data incorporated policy document and intervi
Bostads- och servicesektorn i Sverige står idag för ungefär 40% av Sveriges totalaårliga energibehov (Energimyndigheten, 2021). Förutom detta används en stormängd energi för nyproduktion, underhåll och rivning av byggnader. Att minskaenergianvändningen i byggsektorns hela livscykel är en nyckel för att nå uppsattaenergi- och klimatmål. I detta projekt analyseras vad som är bäst ur ettenergiperspek
BACKGROUND: According to previous studies, foreign travellers and backpackers are at increased risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI). Concurrently, STI incidence, especially Chlamydia, is increasing among young Swedes. Our objective was to investigate Swedish backpackers' own view of sexual health and risks while travelling, with the purpose to identify hypotheses for further, more extensi
Precarious, flexibilised and informalised work has been a norm rather than the exception. Globally, formal employment, with a job contract, sick leave, vacation, rights to safe workspace, defined working hours, etc., has only been a reality for a minority. Much of the global workforce work outside formalised workspaces which include all types of economic activities deemed as ‘informal’, such as, s
This review aimed to summarize and estimate the TB treatment success rate and factors associated with unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes in Africa. Potentially eligible primary studies were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar. The risk of bias and quality of studies was assessed using The Joanna Briggs Institute’s (JBI) appraisal criteria, while heterogeneity across studies was assessed using
Background: The #metoo and #akademiuppropet media campaigns brought into stark relief the ongoing issue of workplace sexual harassment. Previous research shows this to be a pernicious and prevalent problem with severe consequences for individuals and organisations. Universities are complex spaces that can be considered as a workplace for students and as a site where boundaries between formal educa
Modern states energetically promote free—and compulsory—education for all as the key to futureprosperity. This means that, beyond a small private education sector, the overwhelming majority of children who will be educated in the twenty-first century, from any faith background including the whole range of “secular” worldviews, will receive their education through a state-funded system. Meanwhile i
Debate over the future of international science takes place in light of two trends that are frequently interpreted as standing in tension with each other. The longer-term pattern shows that science is increasingly an international endeavour, as collaboration across borders has grown. A more recent apparent re-nationalisation of science, however, raises questions over the march of international sci
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change needs to do more to include the expertise and voices of women, even as numbers and policies improve.
Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train
AIMS: Left ventricular hypertrophy, obesity, hypertension, and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) predict left ventricular diastolic dysfunction with preserved systolic function (DD-PSF). Self-rated health (SRH) is shown to be associated with chronic diseases, but the association of SRH with DD-PSF is unclear. In light of the clinical implications of DD-PSF, the following goals are
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of contextual (social capital and neo-materialist) and individual factors on sense of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Methods: The 2000 public health survey in Scania is a cross-sectional study. A total of 13,715 persons answered a postal questionnaire, which is 59% of the random sample.
