Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om när sjukdom kan utgöra sakliga skäl för uppsägning enligt 7 § lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Utgångspunkten i svensk arbetsrätt är att sjukdom i sig inte utgör grund för uppsägning. Syftet är därför att klarlägga under vilka förutsättningar sjukdom ändå kan leda till en rättsenlig uppsägning. Uppsatsen bygger på en rättsdogmatisk metod där lagtext, föThis essay examines under what circumstances illness may constitute objective grounds for dismissal under Chapter 7, Section 1 of the Swedish Employment Protection Act (1982:80). The starting point in Swedish labour law is that illness as such does not justify dismissal. The purpose of the study is therefore to clarify the legal conditions under which illness may nonetheless result in a lawful ter

Importance: Etiologic heterogeneity in breast carcinogenesis needs to be well characterized for targeted prevention. Associations between menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT) and oral contraceptive (OC) use and breast cancer intrinsic-like subtypes are not well understood. Objective: To examine whether exogenous hormone use is differentially associated with breast cancer subtypes and to evaluate hete

Out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures for childbirth in Bangladesh have increased substantially, intensifying financial pressure on lower-income households. While wealthier groups historically bore higher delivery costs, recent trends indicate a narrowing gap in spending across socioeconomic strata. This study investigates the drivers of this convergence in delivery-related expenditures between 2014 an

BackgroundWomen’s empowerment may influence non-communicable disease (NCD) risk. However, evidence on these associations among women in Bangladesh remains limited. This study examined the associations between women’s empowerment and the prevalence of selected non-communicable conditions among ever-married reproductive-aged women in Bangladesh.MethodsData from the 2022 Bangladesh Demographic and He

BACKGROUND: Neurointensive care is moving toward more automated patient management. This study aimed to evaluate a novel external ventricular drainage (EVD) system, the VGuard® system, as a tool for intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring and automating ventricular drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), focusing on its safety and potential to reduce complications associated with manual EVD manageme

AbstractBackgroundThe role of nutrient intake in celiac disease pathogenesis is poorly understood.ObjectiveTo examine whether longitudinal childhood intake of selected vitamins and minerals is associated with celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA, primary outcome) and celiac disease (secondary outcome) in genetically at-risk children.MethodsA total of 6,520 HLA-conferred at-risk children in the observa

Infections caused by anaerobes are common in children. However, limited data are available on bloodstream infections caused by these bacteria in Europe. A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted over a 4-year period (2020–2023) across 44 European hospitals to analyze all anaerobes isolated from blood cultures. The study examined the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance pro

BACKGROUND: Accreditation of cancer centres aims to deliver high-quality, person-centered care and underscores the integration with education, research, and innovation. Over the past decade, cancer centres in the Nordic countries have engaged in accreditation processes through the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI).OBJECTIVE: This study provides an overview of a rapidly evolving lan

Nucleotides and coenzymes play critical roles in energy metabolism and cellular signaling and as building blocks of nucleic acids. This work addresses the challenges in the measurement of the phosphorylated metabolites using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, which facilitates the separation and detection of polar metabolites. Here, we present optimized H

In low-and middle-income countries, inadequate sanitation results in faecal contamination of the water used by urban farmers for irrigation. Consumers of raw contaminated vegetables run the risk of developing diarrhoeal diseases and helminth infections, which are a leading cause of under-five mortality and impact the well-being and productivity of millions of adults. This review identifies the evi

Whereas the link between impaired male fertility and risk of testicular and prostate cancer is well established, studies investigating non-reproductive cancer risk among men with impaired reproductive function are scarce and show conflicting results. The aim of the study was to compare the risk of developing non-reproductive cancers in men achieving paternity through assisted reproduction as compa

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its virulence factor Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA) have been linked to myocardial infarction (MI), but the mechanisms are unknown. This study aims to test if Hp infection and CagA are associated with pre-specified inflammatory and vascular biomarkers in patients with MI and to explore whether a broader biomarker panel can predict infection. Furthermore

Air pollution has been linked to reduced birthweight, but the association with black carbon (BC) remains insufficiently explored. This study examined the association of gestational exposure to BC with birthweight outcomes. We included data on all singleton births in Denmark between 2004 and 2016 (n = 690,898). BC and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were estimated by high-resolution air pollution m
