Staters interventionism har legat bakom många grova människorättskränkningar. Eftersom FN-systemets vetorätt skyddar vissa stater från straffrättsligt ansvar finns det få reella utsikter för en minskning av dessa människorättsbrott. Inom det institutionella systemet är den Internationella Brottmålsdomstolen ICC och det möjliga aktiverandet av dess jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet – som nu befi
Krita-paleogen-gränsen har länge varit central i diskussioner mellan forskare runt om i världen, då den markerar/sammanfaller med utdöendet av 75% av jordens arter till följd av ett enormt asteriodnedslag på Chicxulúbhalvön i Mexiko. Gränsintervallet är vida utbrett i sedimentära lagerföljder som bildades under denna tid, och kan identifieras genom sina unika kemiska egenskaper och karakteristiskaThe Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary has long been a center of discussion amongst scientists as it marks the extinction of 75% of all species on Earth. This mass extinction event was probably caused by an enormous asteroid impact event in what is now Mexico. The boundary interval is easily identified in the sedimentary geological record because of its unique chemical properties as well as its charact
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Då man för ner en elektrisk ström i marken kommer vissa material i marken laddas upp p.g.a. att positiva och negativa joner samlar ihop sig på ytor och i trånga porkanaler. Detta kallas för polarisering och kan användas för att bestämma t.ex. vad för typ av geologiska material som finns under markytan eller vart föroreningar i marken tar vägen. Fenomenet som uppIt has been shown that surveys of Induced polarization (IP) often contain data of low quality, because it is highly sensitive against different noise sources. When measuring induced polarization, where the method uses multicore cables and continuous electrode sounding (CVES, Continuous Vertical Electrical Sounding), noise phenomena such as capacitive coupling effects have to be considered. It is p
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sedimentära facies och fauna från den sensiluriska Bjärsjölagårdkalkstenen i Skåne. Under den sena delen av silurperioden, för ca 420 miljoner år sedan, låg Sverige söder om ekvatorn och Skåne var täckt av ett grunt, varmt hav. I det här havet, den så kallade Baltiska bassängen, bildades sediment som vi idag återfinner bl.a. i ett gammalt övergivet kalkbrott i BThe late Ludlow Bjärsjölagård Limestone Member comprises a part of the Klinta Formation of the Öved-Ramsåsa Group in Skåne, southern Sweden. The ~25 m thick member was formed during the time of the globally known Lau Event and a major sea-level lowstand in the Baltic Basin. This study describes the sedimentary rocks, and their fossil fauna, of the Bjärsjölagård Limestone Member exposed in the Bjär
Southeast Asia is the hardest-hit region worldwide regarding the frequency and severity of natural hazards, which are deemed to increase significantly in the incoming years. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCRC) in Southeast Asia, through its International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Asia Pacific Regional Office (RO), IFRC Country Cluster Suppor
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a rapidly growing form of crypto assets with unique characteristics. However, existing tax regulations have struggled to keep up with these developments. This thesis addresses the taxation of NFTs within the European Union (EU) and highlights the legal gap in their treatment, given their exclusion from the Markets in C
Originating in the Treaty of Rome, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is the European Union’s largest and first supranational policy, well-known for its high cost, trade distorting effects and its reluctance to change. Despite being subject to three major reform attempts during 1992-2003 many of the original defects still remain. The aim of this thesis is to examine how far reaching the CAP refo
Denna uppsats behandlar fattigdomsbekämpning utifrån svensk biståndspolitik. Bi-ståndsgivning har länge varit en självklar del i både internationell och svensk politik, ändå har inga större framgångar skett med att utrota fattigdom. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utvärdera Sveriges politik om bistånd genom det senast utgivna dokumentet om bi-ståndspolitik – Biståndspolitisk plattform – utgiven av regThis essay concern poverty alleviation through Swedish aid policy. Giving aid has been an evident part of both international and Swedish policy for a long time, yet there has been no great success with eradicating poverty. The purpose is to evaluate Sweden’s aid policy through its most recently published document on aid policy, which the govern-ment published in March 2014. The document will be an
A healthy and functional peritoneal membrane is key to achieving sufficient ultrafiltration and restoring fluid balance, a major component of high-quality prescription in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Variability in membrane function at the start of PD or changes over time on treatment influence dialysis prescription and outcomes, and dysfunction of the peritoneal membrane contri
Background and Goal of StudyWe aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a mobile system using off-the-shelf components, torecord and review simulations and debriefings in four separate rooms during standardized simulation courses at multiple centres in Sweden. Ourrequirements were: high quality sound and video; easy to install, use and demount; suitable for transport by courier; no requirement to
E-poster, 2-minute presentation Statement of Problem Self-generated mobility, defined as the capacity for independent movement, plays a critical role in early childhood development. Limited mobility, often associated with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, poses significant developmental delays, particularly impacting physical, social, and cognitive growth. Description of the Co
A combination of Fourier transform infrared and phase transition measurements as well as molecular computer simulations, and thermodynamic modeling were performed to probe the mechanisms by which guanidinium (Gnd+) salts influence the stability of the collapsed versus uncollapsed state of an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), an uncharged thermoresponsive polymer. We found that the cation's action wa
Background: A pilot study investigating proteomic profiles from 78 patients from the Target Temperature Management after Out-of-hospital Cardiac arrest (TTM) trial revealed 35 proteins associated to functional outcome, and six proteins associated to targeted temperature management at 33 °C. We present the protocol for a study investigating proteomic profiles in the full cohort of the TTM-trial bio
Platelet P-selectin and activated glycoprotein IIb–IIIa (GPIIb–IIIa) are markers of platelet activation and mediates platelet aggregation. Prasugrel (Pras) 5 mg may be used in very elderly (VE) acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing PCI, but its effect on platelet P-selectin and activated GPIIb–IIIa in those patients is not known. Stable ACS patients, VE (78 ± 5 years, n = 23) and non-e
The aim of this study was to map out the quality of the treatment in the forensic outpatient care unity in Malmoe from a patient point of view. This target group, seriously mentally disordered law-offenders, has been neglected in the scientific research. This investigation will hopefully contribute to a positive change in this subject. To achieve a good understanding of this field a methodological
Bladder cancer is the ninth most common type of cancer globally, and the projected number of deaths is estimated to almost double by the year 2040. Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors has revolutionized treatment of bladder cancer and can achieve durable responses; however, only a minority of patients respond. By identifying additional targets and treatment combinations, more patients could b

Background: It is unclear whether thyroid hormone levels are associated with the risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD) events, or cancer in men with normal TSH. Objectives: We analyzed if serum free T4 (FT4) or TSH is associated with the risk of mortality, incident CVD events, or cancer in Swedish men. Methods: Elderly men (n = 1801; mean age 75 years) in the Gothenburg and Malmö subcoho
Background and aims: Animal studies have suggested that high salt intake might increase the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but results from populations are mixed, in part due to inadequate salt intake measurement. Salty taste preference is the primary factor leading to salt choice and can reflect habitual salt intake. However, no study has investigated t
Introduction Despite an increasing amount of research related to gender-affirming treatment (GAT) outcomes among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) people (ie, people who experience discomfort or distress in the misalignment between their gender and sex assigned at birth) in recent years, the evidence base for current recommendations is suboptimal. One contributing factor is the heterogeneity in
