BACKGROUND: Prior to COVID-19, >90% of caregivers of people with brain health challenges (dementia, mental ill health, intellectual disability) experienced high levels of distress, burden, loneliness and social isolation. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased these impacts, particularly since these caregivers are often older and physically vulnerable themselves. The aim of this cross-s
Morphologic and immunohistochemical analysis of preoperative core needle biopsies (CNB) is important in the management of patients with soft tissue and bone tumors (STBTs). Most SBTB subtypes have more or less extensive DNA copy number aberrations (CNA), potentially providing useful diagnostic information. To evaluate the technical feasibility of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis
The thesis studies a European Union legal form for organisation from the perspective of EU law and Swedish law on associations (associationsrätt). The legal form in focus is the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), which was introduced by Council Regulation (EC) No 723/2009 of 25 June 2009 (the ERIC Regulation). The ERIC legal form allows states and intergovernmental organisations t
In this paper we look at the adaption of SI-PASS programmes during the COVID-19 pandemic drawing from four Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as case studies: The National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway in Ireland, Nord University in Norway, Lund University in Sweden and the University of Manchester in the UK. The paper also focuses on the role of SI-PASS in student engagement in an extraord
This chapter explores the circulation, use and public discussion of images of human foetuses travelling from the US to Sweden in the period before and after the introduction of abortion on demand in Sweden in 1975. In this period, new antiabortion groups formed and started to use graphic images of aborted foetuses in their campaigns. This chapter highlights the transnational and transmedial charac
In this chapter I analyse the recent criminalization of negligent rape in Sweden, introduced in 2018. My aim is to contribute to the discussion of criminalization as it relates to violence against women, while taking a broad view of criminalization that includes not only criminalization per se but also the application of law. My analysis of the application of the crime of negligent rape, from the
Background: Neck- and back- pain are highly prevalent conditions in Sweden and world-wide. Such pain often has consequences on everyday activities, work- and personal life. One consequence is work absence and decreased productivity at work. Adding a workplace dialogue to structured physiotherapy was recently found to lead to increased workability, i.e., not being on sick leave during the 12th mont
Mobility is one of the most fundamental aspects of a foraging society. Since prehistoric mobility is often difficult to identify in the archaeological record, our understanding is largely based on comparison with ethnographic communities. In recent years the application of 87Sr/86Sr isotope analysis has, however, greatly broadened our knowledge of mobility in the past. Despite this, few studies ha
Purpose: To understand the current practice in relation to the management of topical therapy for cutaneous chronic Graft versus Host Disease (ccGvHD) and access to extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) within European allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation centres by a survey of nurses. Method: This was a multicentre cross-national study at eligible European Blood and Marrow Transplant centre
A search for light long-lived neutral particles with masses in the O(MeV–GeV) range is presented. The analysis targets the production of long-lived dark photons in the decay of a Higgs boson produced via gluon–gluon fusion or in association with a W boson. Events that contain displaced collimated Standard Model fermions reconstructed in the calorimeter or muon spectrometer are selected in 139 fb−1
Background: The global incidence of stroke is on the rise, primarily due to an increase in the aging population and the prevalence of vascular risk factors among the elderly. However, stroke is a treatable condition if promptly recognized and managed effectively. To optimize stroke management, it is crucial to establish a well-prepared infrastructure comprising adequately trained physicians workin
Supported by a large body of scholarship, it is increasingly orthodox practice for cities to deploy urban greening interventions to address diverse socioenvironmental challenges, from protecting urban ecosystems to enhancing built environments and climate resilience or improving health outcomes. In this article, we expand the theoretical boundaries used to challenge this growing orthodoxy by layin
PURPOSE: This study focuses on 7- to 9-year-old children attending primary school in Swedish areas of low socioeconomic status, where most children's school language is their second language. The aim was to better understand what factors influence these children's narrative listening comprehension both in an ideal listening condition (in quiet) and for the primary school classroom, a typical liste
The 2010 population and housing census in Ghana revealed that more than half of the Ghanaian population lived in urban centers. Critical to the phenomenon of urbanization is the question of how to sustainably feed the urban population especially the urban poor as rapid urbanization has the tendency to urbanize poverty. This has led to renewed policy debate about the implications of farming in citi
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utvärdera förslagen gällande beskattning av den digitala ekonomin genom införandet av en betydande ekonomisk närvaro (SEP), betydande digital närvaro (SDP) eller införandet av en källskatt. För att på ett grundligt sätt förstå utmaningarna med beskattning av den digitala ekonomin använder jag det svensk-brittiska skatteavtalet för att ge ett konkret exempel på hThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the proposals to tax the digital econ-omy by introducing a significant economic presence (SEP), significant digital presence (SDP) or a withholding tax. To fully understand the challenges of taxing the digital economy, I use the Sweden-UK tax treaty to provide a concrete example of how digital business is handled in practice. The tax treaty is used as a too
The issue of dignity in the context of asylum seekers and their care has been widely discussed from various perspectives. As the rate of asylum-seeking increases, so too does the politics surrounding bare minimum standards. In the process of seeking asylum, individuals are increasingly forced to trade-off access to other rights. This study investigates the normative and human rights gaps in asylum
The study aims to investigate learning processes that take place in the European Innovation Community. The research is based on a case-study of one of the EU projects - Lifestyle AM. The project dealt with knowledge transfer issues, providing support to the EU innovation projects. The study addresses what- and how have the team-members of Lifestyle AM learnt in their work. Interview and document q
Lay judges are used in the Swedish courts to attain a democratic representation of judges, but the system has received criticism for giving weight to political affiliation in a role that ought to be unpolitical. The aim of this study is to investigate politicization of the laymen system through lay judges’ own perspectives of their roles, and their views of the structure of the lay judge system. H
