Background: Patients in the forensic mental health services (FMHS) with a mental disorder, a co-occurring substance use disorder (SUD), and high risk of aggressive antisocial behavior (AAB) are sometimes referred to as the ‘triply troubled’. They suffer poor treatment outcomes, high rates of criminal recidivism, and increased risk of drug related mortality. To improve treatment for this heterogene

This chapter considers the creation of the Later Life Audio and Radio Co-operative (LLARC) as an outcome of a participatory action research (PAR) project with a focus on facilitating later life civic participation. Developed in the UK, but with potential to become a global initiative, the LLARC is a collaborative network of older content creators, age-friendly radio stations, third-sector organisa

Context. Gaia Data Release 3 (Gaia DR3) contains the second release of the combined radial velocities. It is based on the spectra collected during the first 34 months of the nominal mission. The longer time baseline and the improvements of the pipeline made it possible to push the processing limit from GRVS= 12 in Gaia DR2 to GRVS= 14 mag. Aims. We describe the new functionalities implemented for

Walking and biking are active transport modes, that may be part of sustainable transport chains, thereby reducing car use. In the scientific literature, they have commonly been investigated separately (e.g. Ewing et al., 2006; Kellstedt et al., 2021), but since pedestrians and cyclists often share the same environments, it makes sense to consider them jointly. This research proposes a conceptual m

OBJECTIVES: We sought to explore 25-year trends of gender disparity in the prevalence of obesity and overweight both in urban and rural areas among Chinese children from 1985 to 2010.METHODS: Data included 1 280 239 children aged 7-18 years enrolled in the Chinese National Survey on Students's Constitution and Health (CNSSCH), which is the largest nationally representative sample of school-aged ch

Limited research has assessed whether sports participation can be linked to decreasing risky sexual behavior among adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. The current study aimed to assess whether participation in a football league that provides sexual and reproductive health and rights lessons before each football match strengthened adolescent Zambian girls’ sexual health knowledge, attitudes, an

148Gd may contribute to around 50% of the dose from inhalation in case of an accident at the European Spallation Source. Methods for its detection have been developed. They rely on biokinetic models predicting activities of the gamma emitters 146Gd (T1/2= 48.3 d) and 153Gd (T1/2= 240.4 d) as tracers in the lungs, urine, and faeces. The optimal choice of model parameters and associated uncertaintie

Barriers to healthcare for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are rooted in stigma and discrimination against MSM fuelled by the criminalization of homosexuality. These barriers are influenced by factors involving MSM and the healthcare workers (HCWs). MSM are uncomfortable disclosing their identities and conceal symptoms of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), especial

Future Internet-of-Things (IoT) systems need to combine heterogeneous IoT components and support weak connectivity. This paper introduces ComPOS, a domain-specific language for composing IoT services into systems. ComPOS is a small language but supports powerful message mediation, using stateful reactions with nested and parallel message sequences and anonymous futures. To deal with weak connectiv

Empowering Children and Youththrough Law and ParticipationIn 2023, between August the 30th and September the 1st, the Child RightsInstitute at the Department of Sociology of Law, within Faculty of SocialSciences, Lund University, was arranging a three-day research conference onthe theme Empowering Children and Youth through Law and Participation.41 participants from 13 different countries particip

Strategisk kommunikation har länge förföljts av ryktet att vara omoraliskt, ofta använt synonymt med nedsättande ord som sofistik och propaganda. Forskare inom samhällsvetenskapen har tränats att acceptera denna beskrivning av strategisk kommunikation som en normativ utgångspunkt, genom inflytelserika teorier som Habermas diskursetik och metodologier som kritisk diskursanalys. Denna avhandling utmStrategic communication has long suffered from a reputation of immorality, often being conflated with derogatory terms such as sophistry and propaganda. Scholars in the social sciences have been trained to accept this moralizing idea of strategic communication as a normative point of departure, through influential theories such as Habermas’ discourse ethics and methodological approaches such as cr

Wetting and drying climate sequences and anthropogenic vegetation changes can have profound effects on the hydrological cycle and sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems. China contains many different climates, from humid to extremely arid and it contributes to the global mitigation strategies of climate change. China is also an important contributor to global greening and carbon sequestration. I

This is an experiment the perceptual differences between full and contractedsemi-modals in English, i.e. the distinction of going to vs gonna and (HAVE) gotto vs gotta. It is a listen-and-repeat experiment and is informed by the findingsof a corpus study of the use of these forms in American English (AmE). It thusaims to integrate the social/variational and the cognitive sides of the phenomenon.

Learning through virtual mobility in nursing educationOne of the assignments of the nursing education is to give the students awareness of international perspective in health care, being able to care for diverse population and to work abroad1. The education therefore gives students the opportunity to do parts of their clinical education abroad. To open the possibility of internationalization for a

Det sociala arbetets praktik handlar om att ge hjälp och stöd och förhindra exkludering och främja delaktighet. Socialt arbete handlar till stor del om att tillämpa befintliga lagar utifrån det tolkningsutrymme som finns. I varje enskilt fall vägs en rad individuella omständigheter samman med tolkningar av denna lagstiftning. Det är bl.a. inom ramen för detta handlingsutrymme som de sociala rättig
