Objective: Psychosocial stress increases the risk for subsequent episodes of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and drug use disorder (DUD), with most studies assessing stress exposure by questionnaire or interview methods. We developed an environmental risk score (ERS) using multiple classes of stressful life events (SLEs) obtained from national Swedish registries. Method: We assessed, in the entire adul
Black carbon (BC) is an air pollutant of emerging concern, and further evidence is needed to understand its health effects. This study investigates the association between gestational BC exposure and birth outcomes, and whether these effects are independent of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) exposure. We used data from the population-based birth cohort, Maternal

Genom en feministisk kritisk diskursanalys granskar denna studie Sierra Leones nationella handlingsplan för implementeringen av FN:s säkerhetsråds resolutioner 1325 och 1820. Syftet är att undersöka huruvida könade diskurser inom resolution 1325 överförs till nationella handlingsplaner samt vilken påverkan detta har för föreställningar om kvinnor och könsroller inom sektorn för fred och säkerhet. Through the use of feminist critical discourse analysis this study examines Sierra Leone’s National Action Plan in its implementation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1325 and 1820. The aim is to investigate whether gendered discourses in resolution 1325 have been included in the national action plan and provide an assessment of the impact this has had on the perception of women and gender withi
This thesis examines if it’s possible for Global Cities to claim international political authority on a legitimate basis of State Capacity. How is it that Global Cities can develop their own independent foreign and security policies even though these areas traditionally have been seen as a monopolized core function of the nation state and its central governments? Why do the international system of
Background The mechanism underlying the association between urban birth/upbringing and increased schizophrenia risk is unknown. This study explored whether an urban effect might be present in a low-income country setting, where the 'urban' environment may have radically different components, for example urban architecture, pollution levels or social cohesion. Aims To investigate the potential asso
In this study, we demonstrate that an integrated approach, combining palaeolimnological records and limnological monitoring data, can increase our understanding of changing ecological patterns and processes in shallow lakes. We focused on recent regime shifts in shallow Lake Krankesjon, southern Sweden, including the collapse of the clear-water state in 1975 and its subsequent recovery in the late
Since IPCC AR4 in 2007, climate science has made continual progress for more than three years. This is reflected both in the number of new scientific papers, but also in the development of the research agenda. By and large, the physical climate science as assessed by IPCC Working Group I in AR4 appears robust in the light of more recent research. The knowledge base is of course continuously develo
Climate change has been identified as one of the greatest threats facing our world today. The effects of climate change are expected to increase global sea level rise and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. This poses a significant risk to cities due to their high population density and economic, political, cultural and commercial activities. Coastal cities in low- and middle-in
Every year hundreds of thousands of Central American migrants from mainly Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador embark on a journey through Mexican territory with the hopes of a better future in the United States - estimations suggest that up to thirty percent are women. Transnational migration is due to heightened violence in Central America on the rise. Although earlier research about women´s part
Since Russia initiated their war in Ukraine February 2022, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj went from being a national celebrity to becoming a global phenomenon. With international news media reporting on his every move, the representation of Zelenskyj has become central to how distant audiences make sense of the war, gaining immense popularity among Western audiences particularly. For Ukra

The technological capabilities that help smallholders adopt and apply sustainable agriculture practices and comply with sustainability standards are related to production, investme
Arktiska miljöer har de senaste decennierna upplevt en stark temperaturökning, vilket påverkar tundrans kolcykel.Smältande permafrost, minskande snötäcke och förändringar i hydrologiska mönster är exempel på pågående processer som förändrar samspelet mellan mark och atmosfär samt ekosystemens säsongsdynamik.Då ett antal av dessa processer involverar utbyte av växthusgaser, såsom spårgaserna metan Arctic environments have experienced strong warming in recent decades, which is affecting the carbon cycle of tundra ecosystems.Degrading permafrost, diminishing snow cover, and changing hydrology are examples of ongoing processes that affect the land-atmosphere interactions and seasonal ecosystem dynamics.Since a number of the affected processes involve the exchange of atmospheric greenhouse gase
