Brott, kön och socioekonomi i Uppsala : en analys av statistik om ungdomar misstänkta för brott i Uppsala kommun / Crime, gender and socioeconomics in Uppsala : An analysis of statistics on youths suspected of crime in the district of UppsalaFaulkner, Lina, Rosenius, Cecilia January 2016 (has links)
Syftet med examensarbetet var att analysera ungdomsbrottsligheten i Uppsala kommun vad gäller brottstyper, områden och kön samt undersöka om det fanns några samband mellan ungdomsbrottslighet och socioekonomisk status på områdesnivå. Med hjälp av statistik över misstänkta ungdomar i åldern 13 till 20 i Uppsala kommun, så gjorde vi univariata och bivariata statistiska analyser. För att studera sambandet mellan områdesstatistik och misstankesfrekvens använde vi oss först av en korrelationsmatris, för att sedan gå vidare med en multipel linjär regressionsanalys. Resultaten visade på att det finns både skillnader och likheter gällande flickors och pojkars ungdomsbrottslighet. Den mest påtagliga skillnaden är dock frekvensen av misstankar. Vad gäller sambandsanalysen så förklarar den socioekonomiska statusen en relativ stor del av variansen i misstankesfrekvensen. / The aim of this thesis was to analyze delinquency in Uppsala regarding types of crime, neighborhoods and gender, as well as to study whether there was any correlation between delinquency and socioeconomics. By using data on suspected youths in the age of 13-20 in Uppsala, we did a univariate and bivariate statistical analysis. To study the relationship between the neighborhood structure and frequency of suspected youths we first used a correlation matrix and then proceeded with a multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicated that there are similarities and differences regarding delinquency of boys and girls. The most distinct difference was the frequency of suspected youths. Regarding the regression analysis, the socioeconomics explains a relatively large part of the variance of frequencies of suspected youths.

Socioeconomic status and health: exploring biological pathwaysLucas, Robyn Marjorie, robyn.lucas@anu.edu.au January 2004 (has links)
The cross-sectional Biomarkers Study was undertaken in Canberra, Australia (2000-2002) to examine the role of psychosocial factors in the socioeconomic health gradient, via physiological changes consequent upon activation of the neuroendocrine
stress response.¶
The study population was derived from healthy 40-44 year old men and women
already participating in a longitudinal cohort study. Using data from the cohort study, four groups with similar occupational status were formed. The study sample was randomly selected within these groups, thus representing the socioeconomic spectrum.¶
A pilot study involved 60 participants with blood and saliva samples measured on two occasions. A further 302 people had blood and saliva samples taken on one occasion. Socioeconomic status was measured by occupational code and status,
personal and household income, education and perceived position in the community and in Australia. Psychosocial and behavioural factors, including job strain, job security, coping style, anxiety, depression, optimism, self-esteem, sense of belonging and trust, social support, smoking, exercise and alcohol intake were assessed by selfreport.
Five biological parameters: plasma fibrinogen, glycated haemoglobin, waisthip ratio, serum neopterin and salivary IgA were measured as outcome variables.Three hypotheses were tested:¶
1. There is a socioeconomic gradient in measures of psychosocial stress, and of
psychological resilience.¶
2. There is a socioeconomic gradient in biological measures that have a plausible¶
association with future disease.
3. Psychosocial factors mediate the demonstrated association between
socioeconomic status and the biological measures.¶
Data analysis confirmed a socioeconomic gradient in some psychosocial and
behavioural variables: economic strain (r=-0.44, p<0.001), job demands (r=0.45,
p<0.001), job control (r=0.26, p<0.001), active coping style (r=0.28, p <0.001), sense
of optimism (r=0.24, p<0.001), social capital (r=0.26, p<0.001), job security (r=0.17,
p=0.002), job marketability (r=-0.16, p=0.005), sense of belonging (r=0.22, p<0.001),
number of adverse life events (r=-0.13, p=0.01) and positive interaction with family
and friends (r=0.20, p<0.001 ), vigorous physical activity (r=-0.16, p=0.002), alcohol
consumption (r=0.30, p<0.001) and smoking status (r=-0.25, p<0.001). There was no
socioeconomic gradient in anxiety, depression, neuroticism, hostility, locus of
control, self-esteem, perceived stress or mental health (SF-12). Four of the five
biological markers varied with socioeconomic status: plasma fibrinogen (female (F):
r=-0.26, p=0.002, male (M) r=-0.08, p=0.30), glycated haemoglobin (F: r=-0.23,
p=0.01, M: r=-0.11, p=0.17), waist-hip ratio (F: r=-0.19, p=0.03, M: r=-0.27,
p<0.001), serum neopterin (F: r=-0.21, p=0.009, M: r=-0.04, p=0.56), salivary IgA
(F: r=-0.07, p=0.38, M: r=0.004, p=0.97). A more adverse biological profile was
associated with lower socioeconomic status. Work characteristics, coping style,
smoking and exercise were particularly important mediators of the association
between the biological markers and socioeconomic status. Particular psychosocial factors were consistent mediators of the association between specific biomarkers and
socioeconomic status (with little variation for different measures of socioeconomic
status). However, the particular psychosocial factors providing significant mediation
varied for the different markers.¶
In this sample of healthy 40-44 year olds, four out of five biological markers showed
moderate socioeconomic variation with a more favourable profile associated with
higher SES. The data provide limited support for the importance of psychosocial
factors in the socioeconomic health gradient.

The Biogeography of Peel's Urban Forest: Patterns and Correlates of Species DiversityBourne, Kirstin 11 August 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this research project is to identify the species-level diversity and distribution of trees within the urban setting of Peel Region (Ontario, Canada) and to determine how these characteristics change as a function of land use type. To address this, alpha diversity (species richness within a community), evenness, and beta diversity (species richness between communities) were calculated for eight distinct land use types within the study area. As well, the influence that a variety of socioeconomic and urban form variables have in determining urban forest composition was examined using regression techniques. Results indicate that significant relationships exist between land use type, species richness and overall tree abundance. Variables reflecting wealth and urban form are also shown to significantly influence tree abundance. The results of this study address issues pertaining to the adaptation, conservation, and management of the region’s urban tree species.

Gymnasieinriktning och socioekonomiskt arv : En studie om familjebakgrundens påverkan av elevers val av utbildningFrost, Malin January 2020 (has links)
This study examines the relationship between pupils' choice of orientation on high school and their socio-economic backgrounds. It also examines the student’s intentions of further studies and their socio-economic backgrounds. The factors of the social background, or social status, in this examination is the parents educational level and their occupation. The result is based on a survey answered by 81 students from four different study orientations on high school, two with a theoretical orientation and two with a practical orientation. The answers from the survey was compiled and analysed and the conclusion of the study is that students with parents that have a higher socioeconomic status are overrepresented in the theoretical orientations, whom also is more interested in higher education, while students that studies on a practical orientation have parents with a lower socioeconomic status. This study as well as others shows that students are affected by their socioeconomic background, both in terms of study results and in aspirations to further studies. The earlier research also shows that one important factor of student’s successes in school is based on the families reading habits. The knowledge based on studies like this can be used by school staff and leaders to better understand, help and guide students with low socioeconomic status to better results and higher degrees of education.

Representing Lower Socioeconomic Class Struggles through Prosocial Game DesignMinkeviciute, Greta, Taillefer, Dana (Levi) January 2021 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to design a game, created in the form of a game design document, that represents lower socioeconomic class struggles. It is done by using a research through design method, with which we delve into studies and simulations of poverty, socioeconomic classes, previous games and studies on empathy. To make the representation unappropriated, an autoethnographic method is utilized to write down personal experiences as stories to use as inspiration. The studies and methods are used to inform the design decisions for this game called Lesser<Than... . The results show an overview of a finished game design document alongside informed design decisions. We also break the game down into and discuss its mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics. Extra attention is paid to the narrative too, since that is the biggest area of socioeconomic representation. For the conclusion, from this finished game design, we are also picking out three key ways of representing lower socioeconomic classes and explaining why these ways work for us. / <p>One of the author's legal name is Dana Taillefer, but preffered name that is on the thesis is Levi Taillefer</p>

Auditory impairment: a comparative analysis focused on raceKennedy, Dean 15 December 2021 (has links)
Hearing loss in pediatric populations is the most common Chronic congenital condition of American children.1 The complicated link between disease, socioeconomics, and race has been established thoroughly by previous studies. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between low socioeconomic and racial minority status in the United States and whether that influences the relative rates of hearing loss in pediatric populations using multivariate logistic regression to control for potential confounding variables. The goal is to better expand the current body of literature documenting the systemic barriers minorities face when accessing the healthcare system. Additionally, our goal is that this study will better raise awareness for children diagnosed with hearing loss and will spur action to improve access to intervention both medical and educational. / 2022-12-14T00:00:00Z
