Background: The aim in the thesis is to study diagnostic issues, clinical features, therapy, and prognosis in selected demyelinative disorders of the nervous system: optic neuritis (ON), primary progressive MS (PPMS), and tumefactive MS (a very rare acute demyelinating disorder). Methods: From an initial cohort of 110 patients with ON collected 19 to 31 years ago, a new follow-up survey was con
BACKGROUND: Primary cervical screening with both human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA testing and cytological examination of cervical cells with a Pap test (cytology) has been evaluated in randomized clinical trials. Because the vast majority of women with positive cytology are also HPV DNA positive, screening strategies that use HPV DNA testing as the primary screening test may be more effective. METHO
Att tvångsomhänderta ett barn enligt LVU (Lag om vård av unga (1990:52) innebär en inskränkning av de enskilda fri- och rättigheterna och innebär ett av de mest långtgående ingripandena i en familjs liv, vilket följaktligen ställer höga krav på rättssäkerheten och på förutsebarheten i lagarna. Rekvisiten i LVU redogör för när beredande av vård är motiverat. Ett av dessa är att det ska föreligga The Swedish social services are the authorities that have the right to take a minor into custody without the consent of either the minor or its parents. In order to do so, thorough investigations have to show that there are deficiencies in the child’s home environment or in his or her behavior. Nor the less, there also must be a significant risk that the minor’s health and development will be

This research aims to identify the role of the physical store within the high involvement products buying process in the context of an omnichannel customer journey. Furthermore, we aim to recreate an entirely new customer journey based on the importance of creating epic customer experiences, both in-store and online channels, by integrating an omnichannel strategy in the furniture industry.
In the central Himalayas, water dynamics are expected to change due to multiple factors like climate change, hydro power development and shifting land use practices. This thesis looks at possible changes in water dynamics in Marsyandi river basin, Nepal, as well as causes to those changes and how they are perceived locally. Grounded in critical physical geography, the study uses mixed methods an
Miljöproblemen har länge varit ett aktuellt och omtalat diskussionsämne som man aktivt jobbat för att begränsa och minska människans negativa klimatpåverkan med målsättningar samt nya lagar och krav. Byggsektorn står idag för en betydande del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp och för att ha möjlighet att uppnå de mål som finns i Parisavtalet krävs åtgärder i byggbranschen. Klimatneutralitet är ett relaThe environmental problems have for a long time been a current and highly spoken topic of discussion which one has actively worked to limit and reduce the human's negative climate impact with agreements, laws and requirements. Today the constructions sector stands for a significant part of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions and to be able to achieve the goals in the Paris Agreement, measure
This is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S
Urban Sprawl is one of the challenges to urban development in many nations. Different aspects of the phenomenon have been researched with a view to providing solutions to myriad of ills attributed to it. For any meaningful intervention, however, assessment of development to ascertain sprawl is essential. Despite this, its quantification and monitoring in environment with paucity of data remains a
The legal paradox. Which factors are decisive in honour-related cases for compulsory care of young persons? Previous studies have shown that honour-related violence and oppression has grown to become a major problem in Sweden. The municipal social service is obliged to help and support all people who become victims of violence. Yet, several municipalities in Sweden have been criticized for their
Shale gas extraction commonly known as fracking had support from the UK government with their ‘all out for shale’ policy. Despite this industry has struggled to establish itself mainly due to strong opposition from communities concerned about environmental and health impacts. Most research into the impacts of fracking is concerned with either environmental degradation or physical health impacts wh
Sustainability researchers are facing increasing pressure to improve their scientific communication and to achieve impacts in wider society with their research. Knowledge mobilisation (KMB) is a key component of both challenges, as it relates to efforts undertaken by researchers to achieve impacts with their research. This study seeks to identify some of the KMB practices being undertaken by exper
Det unionsrättsliga varumärkesskyddet är utformat som ett skydd för ensamrättsinnehavare som uteslutande tillskriver dessa rättsliga anspråk. I denna uppsats undersöks det huruvida det unionsrättsliga varumärkesskyddet trots detta kan användas för att ge konsumenter rättsliga anspråk på avtalsrättslig grund i kraft av den principiella uppfattning om varumärken som skyddet vilar på i kombination meThe trade mark law of the European Union confers legal rights on the proprietor of a trade mark and on the proprietor only – the law confers no legal rights on other legal entities. In this thesis it is examined whether, despite this fact, the trade mark law of the European Union may be used to confer legal rights on consumers on a contractual basis by means of the idea of trade marks which the tr
Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden. Today, 140 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste is generated in Sweden, which is unsustainable. 31% of the non-hazardous waste is traced to the construction industry, the mining industry excluded. Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas
In the year 2020 the pandemic COVID-19 caused several disruptions to society where increased border controls were a major one. This paper will examine how the shock from pandemic related border control affected service trade which relied on movement of people. This will be done by studying trade values on Sweden's import of services from Denmark allocated to two modes of supply. To examine the
Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo
A growing population with increasing life expectancy means that the proportion of cognitively ill people is increasing. This puts pressure on the home care service due to lack of time and resources, which leads to a decline in the well-being and quality of life of care recipients. A consequence of cognitive illness is memory loss, which leads to everyday chores such as toothbrushing often being fo
Deteriorating water quality is a challenge which affects people of the entire world, with a growing population and increased industrialization worldwide. The problem is especially apparent in many developing nations where water resource management must be improved to secure a future sustainable supply. This study was undertaken as a bachelor degree within the MFS-program funded by SIDA. The study
Outdoor climate has considerable impact on the indoor climate and it is therefore important to adapt the buildings to the climate. This thesis shows how to improve indoor climate in a climate which it is hot, dry in the summer and cold in the winter. My investigative unit is a middle class house in the town Baalbek in Lebanon and the purpose of the study is to come up with proposals on possible so
Popular science Using remote sensing to assess drought in Somalia Somalia, the country in East Africa in a region referred to as Horn of Africa is in a civil war, conflict and unrest since 1991. The prolonged conflict increases the impact of droughts in the country which is already prone to drought continuously. The country is frequently exposed to drought, occurring moderately every 3-4 years a
