Background: In mental health care practice and research it is increasingly recognized that clients' subjective perceptions of everyday occupations, such as satisfaction, are important in recovery from mental illness. Instruments thus need to be developed to assess satisfaction with everyday occupations. The aim of the present study was to assess psychometric properties of the 13-item Satisfaction

Consumption of clothing, fashion and shopping has increased and the fashion industry is driven by the constant need for bigger profits while fashion consumption today is a major villain in the globalization debate. New shopping centers and malls are steadily built throughout Sweden, and the craving never seems appeased. But what is it that drives us to continually consume this excess amount of clo

There are a lot of debates surrounding the sustainability of liquid biofuel as a means of mitigating some global challenges like climate change and energy insecurity. The European Union (EU) for example has set up renewable energy targets and sustainability criteria. Biofuel is expected to contribute significantly to meet up with these targets. Much of these targets will be met by importing liquid

Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the deadliest disease that claims millions of deaths globally. Ethiopia is among the countries heavily hit by the disaster. Despite the effective directly observed treatment and TB infection control (TBIC) measures provided by the world health organization (WHO), the rate of new cases increased daily throughout the country. Healthcare workers (HCWs) ar

AIMS: Cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) is a matricellular protein implicated in fibrotic diseases, with ongoing clinical trials evaluating anti-CCN2-based therapies. By uncovering CCN2 as abundantly expressed in non-diseased artery tissue, this study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that CCN2 plays a pivotal role in maintaining smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotype and protection aga

Retail and cities have had a long and intertwined history together. Since the beginning of first cities established, being a hub for commercial exchange has been one of the main elements what makes a city (Söderlind, 2011). Nevertheless, since 1980s, there have been some substantial shifts at the global scale regarding the organization of retail, and in turn, its spatial manifestations in the citi

This paper examines the Nordic as an ideological, cultural, and geographical site from which to examine place branding. Although a number of studies have addressed Nordic place brands and branding, the peculiarity of branding within the Nordic welfare states remains understudied (Lucarelli et al., forthcoming 2019). The unusual open access to the field of practice granted to researchers (at least

The concrete structure of a reactor containment is pre-stressed with tendonsplaced in ducts. In some reactor containments, these ducts are injected withcement grout after pre-stressing. The cement grout protects the tendonsagainst corrosion and has the potential to redistribute the stresses in a tendon in the case of wire failure. The disadvantage of injected ducts is that the tendons pre-stressin

Background: Delayed cord clamping at birth has shown to benefit neonates with increased placental transfusion leading to higher haemoglobin concentrations, additional iron stores and less anaemia later in infancy, higher red blood cell flow to vital organs and better cardiopulmonary adaptation. As iron deficiency in infants even without anaemia has been associated with impaired development, delaye

The increasing emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuel burning are today thought to be one of the main contributors to global warming. At the same time, developing countries are striving for an increased welfare and burning more fossil fuel, which in turn is augmenting the greenhouse gas effect. In this thesis the current understanding of the connection between greenhouse gases and the climat

Energifrågan berör många politikområden, inte minst säkerhetspolitiken. Föreställningar om framtida energisäkerhet, eller energi och säkerhet, baseras oundvikligen på underliggande antaganden och subjektiva perspektiv som gärna färgas av dagsaktuella problem. Detta kan innebära problem för dem som ägnar sig åt beslutsfattande i ett långsiktigt perspektiv. Denna rapport har ett säkerhetspolitiskt

In 2011 Eli Pariser coined the term ‘filter bubble’ and warned that online algorithm driven filters based on users’ click behaviour, would risk to reduce the diversity of public discourses and thereby deliberative democracy. Through the multidisciplinary and iterative Realist Synthesis method, the aim of the study has been to synthesise empirically based understanding of how online algorithm drive

Amphibian populations are declining globally due to several abiotic factors such as climate, pH, water permanence and biotic factors including predation by exotic species, competition and the spread of diseases. Habitat destruction caused by humans is also an important factor. Several species of amphibian have been declining in Sweden, and in most cases explained by habitat destruction and isolati

The combination of a growing global population and a limiting amount of farmland creates a need for new innovative food products to achieve a global sustainable development and a healthy population. Rapeseed press cake is a low-cost by-product of rapeseed oil production and is very high in protein and fiber. The rapeseed protein contains high concentrations of S-amino acids as methionine and cyste

Today there are more than 45 million hectares (ha) of concluded large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in the low- and middle- income countries around the globe. Whether LSLA is referred to as land grabbing or land investment, LSLA means that the right to utilise land is moved from the local people to investors. Few studies investigate agro-ecological consequences and water use of LSLAs. Hence, t

Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. In order to support reforestation, as well as appropriate sustainable forest management practices, two aspects need to be taken into account: (a) the ecosystem functioni

Rapid global urbanization is a major concern for the food production system, as it is recognized that relying on conventional methods of distant large-scale farming contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. One of the key strategies to address this challenge is rooftop greenhouses (RTG), which are greenhouses built on unoccupied rooftops. Besides that, this technology goes beyond crop
