IMG_9852Kristina Börjeson,  Head of Film Support said that since the beginning of the 1990s, Swedish government has decided to support film production in the country. The funding almost all comes from the Film Support. For example 12 of the 16 films are supported by Swedish Film Support.  Directors can apply for many kinds of subsidies to produce films. There has always been a great enthusiasm in making films in Sweden.

“I have got some flavor of my own background in the film, it’s about friendship. When one of the two friends wants to go outside world, the other was almost mad,” said Linda Hambäck to Green Post.

Another film aroused our attention was The last Generation. It is about Sami culture and Sami people.  Petri Storlöpare who directed the film told Green Post that he lived around many Samis.  He was born in Finland but lives in Sweden all his life.  He was luckily able to follow the main charactor in the film for a year to experience his life as a reindeer herdsman.

He wanted to show the sami people, sami culture and hope that they will not disappear so soon.

A  lot of funds were invested in promoting sami culture during the 2014 European Cultural Festival.

Relationships between parents and small children

Stockholm, Jan.13(Greenpost)–Statistics show that 30 percent of all parents of young children in Sweden separate.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have mapped the most important factors behind the separations and divorces – and offer five tips that can save the relationship. 

 According to 2012 statistics from Statistics Sweden, one out of three Swedish couples that have small children get separated. The average age of the first child at the time of the separation or divorce is 4 years and 8 years.

In a study at the Sahlgrenska Academy of the University of Gothenburg, 452 parents answered a scientific questionnaire that measures relationship quality in five different dimensions:

Consensus,  Cohesion, Satisfaction, Sensuality and Sexuality. The questionnaire was answered at three occasions, when the first child was 6 months old, 4 years and finally when the child was 8 years old.

Of the respondents, 23 couples had separated after four years, and after eight years, another 16 had separated. In the study, the researchers measured the separated parents’ relationships quality before they went separate ways, and compared the results with those who still lived together.

The study found certain similarities:

“When the child was 4 years old, both sexuality and sensuality were at constant low levels both among the couples who separated and those who had not,” says Malin Hansson, doctoral student at the Sahlgrenska Academy.

The largest statistically significant differences were seen in the dimensions of Satisfaction,  Consensus and  Cohesion: when the child was 6 months old, the separated respondents agreed less about different matters, they were less satisfied with the relationship, and felt less togetherness and lower quality in their sexual lives compared with those who did not separate.

The study showed that the risk of separating was twice as high among co-habitating partners as married spouses. A low level of education and unemployment were also risk factors (which agrees with Statistics Sweden’s statistics from 2012).

Using the parents’ answers to the question “What factors do you think contributed to your current situation (both positive and negative)?”, the Gothenburg researchers were able to formulate seven factors that contribute to separation. They were: strains from parenthood, stressful conditions,  lack of intimacy, insufficient communication, differing personalities and interests, no commitment (in the relationship), and negative effects of addiction.

“If you were to generalize, you coud say that the separated fathers wanted to have more time for themselves, while the mothers wanted more time together with both their partner and with their children,” says Malin Hansson:

“It is not always bad that parents separate. But there are “unnecessary divorces” that are a result of communication problems or a temporary downturn in the relationship, which could be avoided with more support. The healthcare system also has a responsibility here. Healthcare staff come into contact with most prospective and new parents, and should take on the task of supporting them in the relationship by for example emphasizing the importance of sharing responsibility for the home and the children, arranging relief and emphasizing the importance of maintaining sensuality and a shared sex life.”

The article Factors contributing to separation/divorce in parents of small children in Sweden was published online in Nordic Psychology in October.

瑞典10位老人活100岁的秘诀

北欧绿色邮报报道(记者陈雪霏)瑞典哥德堡大学的萨尔格林学院发布消息称,老人活过百岁的秘诀在于有良好的母亲基因,良好的社会经济条件,不吸烟,性格温和,能很好地控制胆固醇。

在刚刚发表的论文中,研究人员对855名出生于1913年的哥德堡男子进行了50年的跟踪调查。现在调查研究结束,其中有10人已经活过百岁,因此可以对他们长寿的秘诀进行一下总结。

在过去的半个世纪里,哥德堡大学进行了跟踪调查。第一次调查是在1963年。然后,他们分别在54岁,60岁,65岁,75岁,80岁和100岁的时候进行调查。结果显示: 232人,也就是27%的人活到了80岁,111人,也就是13%的人活到了90岁。10人或1.1%的人,活到了100岁。

调查还显示80岁死亡人群中的42%人口是由于心血管疾病而死亡的。20%是感染性疾病死亡的,8%中风,8%癌症,6%肺炎,其他原因死亡的占16%。
80岁以上人群中,23%患有老年痴呆。

拉矢.维尔赫穆森直接参与调查,他说,这个调查让我们发现了一些影响生存的因素。我们对那些希望能活百岁的人的建议是不要吸烟。保持好胆固醇的水平,每天最多只喝四杯咖啡。

另外,如果你的房租高说明房子好,或者你自己拥有别墅,就是说有很好的社会经济生活水平,在54岁时自行车测试中显示很好的体能,而且你的母亲也长寿。这些都是有利条件。

“我们发现男人的寿命和母亲的寿命很有关系,但和父亲的寿命没有关系。而这个基因关系在夏威夷也有显示,而且还很明显。不过,相比其他因素,基因因素是相对较弱的因素。”他说。

调查过程中有两个100岁老人后来放弃了,因为老年痴呆,另一个是由于个人原因。另外7个百岁老人中,有两个是住在自己家中,有7个是住在有人帮助的房屋设施里。他们都不吸烟,都是有很好的性格,都需要助听器,都带眼镜能读书读报或看电视。他们都比较瘦,身材都比较好。他们都用拐杖。

通常他们在医院里调查,但他们对这七个百岁老人都是到家里访问。他们临床上看都很健康,都对现有生活感到满意,对他们的住的地方也比较满意。研究人员说。
