Uppsatsen försöker att ta ett samlat rättssociologiskt grepp om kränkningsersättningen som är den viktigaste formen av brottsskadeersättning (under år 2006 betalade Brottsoffermyndighe-ten ut över 81 miljoner konor i kränkningsersättning). Hur dessa skador värderas och konstrueras speglar samhällets rättskultur och ger upphov till en rad rättssociologiska frågeställningar om rättens roll och samsp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Användningen av konstgjorda material för temporärt och permanent bruk, t.ex katetrar, skruvar, ledproteser är numera väl etablerad inom human- medicinen. Dessa sk biomaterial kan emellertid predisponera till proppbildning, inflammatoriska vävnadsreaktioner och infektioner i omgivande vävnad, ledande till svåra komplikationer, såsom blod- förgiftning, passagestopp samt pResident skin micro-organisms such as S. epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), are by far the most common causes of biomaterial-associated infections. These micro-organisms often exhibit surface adhesins that specifically bind serum and tissue proteins adsorbed to implanted biomaterials. The aim of this study was to extend our knowledge about such adhesins produced by CoNS
This paper is part of an ongoing research on the trajectory of rhetoric of political reforms in Bahrain during the past 10-years of reign by king Hamad bin Isa. Within less than two years of his reign, the king abandoned his wide ranging blueprints for political and institutional reforms designed to end to a decade-long civil unrest. I argue that the king continues to use, albeit more creatively,
I will describe principles and advantages of semiconductor nanowires as applied to fabrication of light-emitting diodes for display and solid state lighting applications as well as for the realization of nanowire array solar cells.
Universities have become important components of the national innovation systems in innovation driven economies. To strengthen the university related flow of mainly technological knowledge into commercialized products many European countries have followed the American example and changed from an inventor-ownership system to a university-owned system (Genua & Rossi, 2011). Today most European c
Screening instruments are often used for detecting mental health problems in children and adolescents. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is one instrument for screening children's mental health. The SDQ can be used for assessment by different informants, i.e. parents, teachers and by 11-16 year olds for self-reporting.
The aim of this thesis is to study early life risk exposures in relation to adult health and mortality in Sweden during 250 years. A number of causal mechanisms by which exposure to diseases and stressful economic and social conditions early in life may lead to increased morbidity and mortality later in life are discussed (paper I). The early life exposures investigated are the foetal origins (nut
Abstract OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of antenatal betamethasone on fetal and uteroplacental hemodynamics. METHODS: The study comprised 33 women with singleton high-risk pregnancies (23-33 weeks; 27 pregnancies < 30 weeks) not in labor, but at risk for preterm delivery based on fetal or maternal indications. They were treated with two doses of 12 mg betamethasone intramuscularly 24 h ap
Obese patients are prone to arterial hypertension, require more antihypertensive medications, and have an increased risk of treatment-resistant arterial hypertension. Obesity-induced neurohumoral activation appears to be involved. The association between obesity and hypertension shows large inter-individual variability, likely through genetic mechanisms. Obesity affects overall cardiovascular and
Substitution of carbohydrates with fat in a diet for type 2 diabetes patients is still debated.
Stroke is the third most common cause of death in developed countries, exceeded only by coronary heart disease and cancer, but there is still little knowledge on occupational risk factors. A systematic critical review was performed to assess the strength of evidence for causal associations between work-related psychosocial risk factors, shift work and stroke.
