Det humanitärrättsliga skyddet för civila i konflikter har sedan dess tillkomst främst reglerat internationella konflikter, något som inte förändrats i takt med att konfliktbilden skiftat från att ha dominerats av internationella konflikter till att istället präglas av mer svårdefinierade, interna sådana. Först 1993 togs ett avgörande steg mot en breddning av skyddet då säkerhetsrådet instiftade I

In this article we take the classic meaning of exemplum as a point of departure to show how examples are marked and used in oral discourse on 'others'. The empirical material is a transcribed focus group interview with Swedish students talking about a trip to Warsaw. Examples may be marked in explicit ways but also in implicit ways. Some examples seem recognizable by their allusive nature, others

The objective of this study was to describe environmental barriers and investigate the nature of accessibility problems in housing among single-living, very old people (N = 1,150) in urban regions in three European countries (Sweden, Germany, Latvia), in a one-year perspective. A specific feature of this study is the explicit conceptual differentiation between environmental barriers and accessibil

Ett i den politiska debatten centralt område är arbetsrehabilitering. Inom detta område går det att se en ökad politisk aktivitet som många gånger mynnar ut i begreppet "samverkan". Ropet på samverkan beror möjligen på att det blir allt svårare för enskilda myndigheter att såväl överblicka som hantera sitt verksamhetsfält i takt med att omvärlden ter sig allt mer komplex. Föreliggande rapport byg

Omräkning av barns (≥2 år) kreatininvärden till motsvarande värden vid 18 års ålder och applicerade i Lund–Malmö-formeln för vuxna ledde till avsevärt förbättrad skattning av GFR bland barn vid uppmätt GFR <75, bibehållen noggrannhet ≥75 ml/min/1,73m2 och likvärdig med pediatriska formler.Lund–Malmö-formeln kan användas under hela livet ≥2 år utan plötsliga artificiella förändringar i skattad GFR Age-adjustment of creatinine, i.e. recalculation of childhood levels of creatinine to corresponding levels at 18 years of age and applied in the adult revised Lund-Malmö GFR equation led to markedly improved accuracy in Swedish children (n=1 718) at measured GFR <75 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n=318) and preserved high accuracy at ≥75 mL/min/1.73 m2 (n=1 400). The adjusted LMR equation performed as well as de

Lung cancer (LC) generally lacks unique core symptoms or signs. However, there are a multitude of bodily sensations that are often non-specific, not easily understood, and many times initially not recognized as indicative of LC by the affected person, which often leads to late diagnosis. In this international qualitative study, we inductively analyzed retrospective accounts of 61 people diagnosed

In this paper, I briefly present my doctoral thesis research proposal. Recognizing that information has long been an important asset for any organization, I wish to explore in depth the management and use of information in contemporary information-intensive organizations such as academic libraries. Additionally, this research proposal emerges out of recognition that the academic library is a dynam

Background: The drive for home care has increasingly impacted the organization and allocation of resources within the Swedish healthcare system. Objectives: With an interest in uncovering prerequisites for palliative care, this study aimed to investigate longitudinal trends in place of death within the adult Swedish population from 2013 to 2019 and examine potential associations between place of d

We demonstrate that exceptional points exist in fully transparent, optically "effectively" biaxial, anisotropic micro-cavities, fabricated using an uniaxial cavity material with its axis inclined to the Bragg mirror growth direction. This is similar to the existence of singular (optic) axes in absorbing biaxial crystals, but the lack of time reversal symmetry is mediated by the mode broadening, i.

Background: Home oxygen therapy (HOT) improves survival in patients with hypoxaemic chronic respiratory disease. Most patients evaluated for HOT are former or active smokers. Oxygen accelerates combustion and smoking may increase the risk of burn injuries and fire hazards; therefore, it is considered a contraindication for HOT in many countries. However, there is variability in the practices and p

I projektet MDSEG (Myndighetsdriven Datadelning och Samverkan för EffektivareGodstransporter) strävar vi efter att främja ökad effektivitet inom lokal och regionalgodstransport genom datadelning och samarbete mellan olika aktörer. Vårtövergripande mål är att bidra till optimering av rutter för transporter och samordningav logistiken för att minska klimatpåverkan och öka effektiviteten. Vi har geno

The advent of single-cell biology opens a new chapter for understanding human biological processes and for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. This revolution now reaches the field of cardiovascular disease (CVD). New technologies to interrogate CVD samples at single-cell resolution are allowing the identification of novel cell communities that are important in shaping disease developmen

Surgical site infections (SSI) are a clinical and economic burden. Suture-associated SSI may develop when bacteria colonize the suture surface and form biofilms that are resistant to antibiotics. Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptide (TCP)-25 is a host defense peptide with a unique dual mode of action that can target both bacteria and the excessive inflammation induced by bacterial products. The pep
