- Background: This paper scrutinizes the association between maternal practices to correct child behavior and the mothers' exposure to and attitudes towards intimate partner violence (IPV).Methods: Nationally representative data comprising 14 016 married women were retrieved from the Egyptian Demographic and Health Survey, 2005. Data on practices used to correct child behavior, exposure to IPV, attitudes towards IPV were our primary interest. Data were analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression.Results: The majority of the mothers reported use of violent methods, like shouting (90.6%), striking (69.1%) and slapping (39.3%) to correct child behavior. Seven percent of the mothers used only the explanation option. Exposure to physical IPV and tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with an augmented risk of using violent methods (shouting, striking or slapping) to correct child behavior. On the other hand non-tolerant attitudes towards IPV were associated with increased likelihood of sole use of the explanation method.Conclusions: We thus recommend the implementation of local parental education programs focusing on communicative skills to reduce IPV and related child abuse.

- Background: To examine women's attitude towards discontinuation of female genital mutilation (FGM) in association with their access to information, knowledge of health effects and cultural beliefs concerning FGM in Egypt.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 9159 women, using data from the household survey in Egypt by Demographic and Health survey 2003. A comprehensive questionnaire covering attitudes towards FGM, demographics, and access to information was used. Chi-square analysis and logistic regression were applied to investigate how demographics, level of education, access to information, knowledge of health consequences and cultural beliefs influence women's attitudes towards FGM.Results: Among the demographic variables, discontinuation of FGM was independently associated with urban residency and post-secondary education. Moreover, women who were informed by the media, and those who had attended community meetings, church, or mosque where FGM was discussed, as well as women who were aware of the negative health consequences of FGM, were more likely to support discontinuation of FGM. By contrast, women with positive cultural conceptions of FGM were less likely to favor its discontinuation.Conclusions: Public education and information dissemination aiming to change current cultural notions favoring FGM practice - through community and religious leaders, and radio and television programs - may play an important role in modifying women's attitudes towards FGM. These findings have some implications for intervention and policy.

Bokkapitel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Kontrollen av den åländska lagstiftningen sker efter att lagtinget antagit lagen, men före den träder i kraft. Lagkontrollens aktörer är Ålandsdelegationen (ÅD) och Högsta Domstolen (HD), men även Republikens President (RP) som kan stoppa en åländsk lag genom att använda sin i självstyrelselagen inskrivna vetorätt. HD har en central roll i kontrollen av lagstiftningen då dess utlåtanden i praktiken avgör om RP ska underkänna en åländsk lag. HD har därmed ett de facto tolkningsföreträde då det gäller att, inom ramen för gällande självstyrelselag, sätta gränserna för ålänningarnas självbestämmande och möjligheter att styra sitt eget öde. I detta kapitel redovisas och diskuteras resultatet av en granskning av samtliga beslut om avslag av åländska lagar sedan självstyrelsens början med avseende på avslagens konsekvenser för autonomins omfattning.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines social inequalities in intimate partner violence (IPV) among women of reproductive age in Kenya. A sample comprising 3,696 women was retrieved from the Kenyan Demographic and Health Survey of 2003. The study design was cross-sectional. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that while high education among women reduced the risk of IPV exposure, both being employed and having a higher education/occupational status than her partner increased a woman's vulnerability to IPV. Age differences between the partners, illiteracy, and lack of autonomy and access to information increased the likelihood of IPV. Finally, being in polygamous relationships was associated with IPV exposure. The findings indicate demographic, social, and structural differences in exposure to IPV with important implications for interventions.

- The impact of different passive protective measures against external vertical firespread was investigated using the numerical tool Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS).The numerical study was divided into a validation study and a comparative analysis.The validation study was performed to evaluate FDS as a calculation tool for modellingexternal vertical fire spread and was conducted using experimental results from alarge‐scale fire test done on a SP FIRE 105 test rig at SP, Sweden. It was concludedthat FDS 6.2.0 could reproduce the experimental results with a reasonable level ofdetail. In the comparative analysis, the impact on the external fire from a smallerapartment was studied in FDS with different configurations of horizontal projectionsand spandrels in the building exterior. Also, the effects of an upper and lower facadeset‐back configuration were studied. The results show that facade solutions based ona horizontal projection or an upper facade set‐back configuration result in comparableor better protection compared with a defined spandrel height. The results also showthat a spandrel height of at least 1.2 m can be replaced by a 60‐cm‐deep horizontalprojection, given that the balcony is wider than the underlying opening.

Attitudes Toward Physical Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Nigeria
- 2016
-
Ingår i: SAGE Open. - : SAGE Publications. - 2158-2440. ; 6:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Attitudes toward intimate partner violence (IPV) are known predictors of IPV victimization and perpetration with more women generally believed to justify IPV than men. An understanding of the determinants of justification of IPV may provide information necessary for holistic interventions. This study sought to examine the magnitude, extent, and predictors of justification of physical IPV against women among men and women in Nigeria. Data from 33,385 women and 15,486 men from the 2008 Nigerian demographic and health surveys were analyzed using chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions. Results show that although larger proportions of women justified physical IPV, certain categories of men such as poor, illiterate men, and men with secondary education justified abuse more than women. Contrary to expectations, access to radio/TV increased the odds of justifying abuse among women thus casting doubts on program content. The gender differences observed for predictors of attitudes to physical IPV suggest a need for gender-tailored interventions to change attitudes toward partner violence in Nigeria.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I ett tidigare temanummer av Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift 2019 (nummer 4) redovisas mäns våld mot kvinnor och våld i nära relationer både nationellt och globalt. I en av artiklarna betonades vikten av både grundutbildning för de som möter problemet i sin yrkesutövning men även behovet av lokala utbildningar i närområdet bland grupper där jämställdhetsarbetet är eftersatt. De yrken som omfattas av det nya examensmålet i Högskoleförordningen möter personer som utsätts för olika typer av våld mot kvinnor och våld i nära relationer. Införandet av det nya examensmålet är därför ett unikt sätt att bekräfta den högre utbildningens strategiska roll.Detta temanummer syftar till att både generellt sprida och öka kunskapen men framför allt att bidra till ett kunskapsutbyte mellan de olika lärosätena. Här ges en möjlighet att ta del av varandras erfarenheter, idéer och pedagogiska grepp. Vår förhoppning är att temanumret skall var en källa till inspiration i det fortsatta viktiga arbetet med att minska mäns våld mot kvinnor. Glädjande har många värdefulla och intressanta artiklar inkommit som representerar hur man arbetar med ämnet både för blivande fysioterapeuter, socionomer, sjuksköterskor och för personalen inom kriminalvården.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objectives To examine the association between reproductive health practices/outcomes and exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV) among women in Nigeria. More specifically, the association between IPV and use of contraception; miscarriages, induced abortions, stillbirths, and infant mortality; and having many children, was assessed. Methods Data on studied variables were retrieved from the Demographic and Health Surveys of Nigeria 2008, a nationally representative sample of 33,385 women of reproductive age. IPV was defined as exposure to physical, sexual or emotional abuse. The association between contraception use, pregnancy outcomes and infant mortality, and exposure to IPV was assessed using the chi-square test for unadjusted analyses. To control for potential confounding, socio-demographic variables were adjusted for using multiple logistic regression. Results Compared with women not exposed to IPV, those who were, exhibited a higher likelihood of using modern forms of contraception; having a history of miscarriages, induced abortions, stillbirths, or infant mortality; and having many children. The aforementioned observations still stood after adjustment for potential confounders (e.g., demographic and socioeconomic factors). Conclusion Though causal inference cannot be drawn due to the cross-sectional design, the study has important implications for incorporation of IPV detection and management in initiatives aimed at improving women's reproductive health.
