En kvantitativ studie över andelen rökare och dess påverkan på framtida sjukvårdskostnader / A quantitative study on the proportion of smokers and its impact on future healthcare costsHajdarovic, Ramo, Ibradzic, Amir January 2021 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur andelen rökare av cigaretter påverkar denrökningsrelaterade sjukvårdskostnaden för den svenska vården. Studien presenterar treframtidsprognoser för den framtida andelen rökare under de kommande 15 åren. I den förstaprognosen antas andelen rökare vara på dagens nivå, sju procent, de kommande 15 åren. Iden andra prognosen minskar andelen rökare initialt och når sedan ett lägre steady-statejämfört med den första prognosen. I den sista prognosen minskar andelen rökare enligt dentrend som varit sedan 2004.För att kunna kalkylera de framtida sjukvårdskostnaderna har tillskrivningsfaktorer använtspå ett urval av rökningsrelaterade sjukdomar. Resultaten visar olika rökningsrelateradesjukvårdskostnader utifrån prognoserna. Kostnaderna i den första prognosen är konstantagenom hela prognosperioden. I den andra prognosen minskade de rökningsrelateradesjukvårdskostnaderna till år 2028, därefter var kostnaden lika stor för varje år. I den sistaprognosen halverades nästan kostnaden fram till år 2033.Slutsatsen som kan dras är att andelen rökare har en direkt påverkan på de rökningsrelateradesjukvårdskostnaderna. Utvecklingen av andelen rökare innebär en stor skillnad iprognostiserade kostnader och den bör undersökas noggrannare i framtiden för att kunna fåbättre prognoser. / The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how the proportion of cigarette smokers affects thesmoking-related healthcare cost for the Swedish healthcare. The study presents threeforecasts regarding the development of future proportion of smokers in the coming 15 yearsand the estimated healthcare costs with each scenario. In the first forecast, the proportion ofsmokers is at today's 7 percent and is expected to be constant for the next 15 years. Thesecond forecast deals with a future scenario in which the proportion of smokers decreases andthen evens out, thus reaching a lower steady-state compared to the first forecast. In the lastforecast, the proportion of smokers decreases according to the trend seen since 2004.To calculate future healthcare costs, attribution factors were used on a selection of smokingrelated diseases. The results show different smoking-related health care costs based on theforecasts. The costs of the first forecast show no significant changes. In the second forecast,smoking-related healthcare costs decreased until 2028. After that, the cost was the same foreach year. For the last forecast, the cost almost halved by 2033.The conclusion that can be drawn is that the proportion of smokers has a direct impact onsmoking-related health care costs. The difference in the proportion of smokers makes a bigdifference to the costs incurred.

"Hon sitter i en jäkla rävsax" : Professionellas erfarenheter av hur ekonomiskt våld påverkar kvinnor som bryter upp från relationer med våldsutövande män / "She's trapped in a fox shears" : Social workers experiences of working with women subjected to economic abuse in the context of VAWArvidsson, Matilda, Pavlov, Anna-Maria January 2022 (has links)
Among all the types of violence against women the economic abuse does not always appear that often in the context of domestic abuse. Previous research interprets and categorizes economic abuse as physical violence and controlling behavior and is not distinguished for what it can imply for the life of the woman. Men’s economic abuse against women can therefore affect women’s life in a lifelong and/or life sacrificing way. The aim of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of social workers experiences of men’s economic abuse against women in heterosexual relationships and which consequences it may have for the women. The study is based on eight individual qualitative interviews with social workers and women shelter employees, both with and without a bachelor’s degree in social work. The empirical findings have been thematically analyzed with Yvonne Hirdman’s theory of gender system as a foundation. The result shows that the connection between the theory of gender system and men’s economic abuse against women, forms for example in gender contracts. The result also shows that social workers' experiences are that abused women suffer from multiple consequences of economic abuse, even after a separation, which can have lifelong negative impact for women as victims of violence. The gender perspective is useful in social work, to understand and interpret men’s economic abuse against women, and to prevent reproducing these systems. It is also important to acknowledge the consequences, for women, that emerge after the separation to create a stronger safety network for women that have been victims of men’s economic abuse.

Climate Disasters Impact on the Real Estate Market – The Economics of Resilience of Climate Refugees from Coastal Louisiana / Klimatkatastrofers påverkan på fastighetsmarknaden – En motståndskraftig ekonomi för klimatflyktingar från kustnära LouisianaKunstman, Zachary January 2024 (has links)
This thesis investigates the impact of climate refugees on the real estate market in coastal Louisiana and methods to mitigate entry barriers in safer markets. Utilizing a mix-methods approach, including quantitative analysis of socio-economic indicators from 2005 to 2023 and qualitative interviews with key stakeholders, the research reveals significant disparities in property values and housing trends between coastal and inland regions. The findings suggest that frequent climate disasters may be a significant factor that has led to declining property values and increased financial instability in affected areas. These results underscore the need for targeted policy interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on vulnerable communities. / Denna avhandling undersöker klimatflyktingars inverkan på fastighetsmarknaden i kustnära Louisiana och metoder för att mildra inträdesbarriärer på säkrare marknader. Genom att använda en blandad metod, inklusive kvantitativ analys av socioekonomiska indikatorer från 2005 till 2023 och kvalitativa intervjuer med viktiga intressenter, visar forskningen betydande skillnader i fastighetsvärden och bostadstrender mellan kust- och inlandsregioner. Resultaten tyder på att täta klimatkatastrofer kan vara en betydande faktor som har lett till sjunkande fastighetsvärden och ökad finansiell instabilitet i drabbade områden. Dessa resultat understryker behovet av riktade politiska insatser för att mildra de negativa effekterna av klimatförändringar på utsatta samhällen.
