Femoral neck fractures in children and young adults are rare, but have a high risk of avascular necrosis (AVN) and subsequent gradual collapse of the femoral head. In 2006, we initiated the use of scintigraphy for the diagnosis of vascular impairment after a cervical fracture in children. In the present retrospective case study, we evaluated the effect of the remaining postoperative circulation in
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
BACKGROUND: Prediction models for sentinel lymph node (SLN) status could potentially substitute surgical axillary staging in patients with early breast cancer. Several imaging modalities have been used with various feature extraction and selection approaches. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate prediction models for SLN status based on breast imaging in patients with early b
The Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure (ACTRIS) officially became the 33rd European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) on 25 April 2023 with the support of 17 founding member and observer countries. As a pan-European legal organization, ACTRIS ERIC will coordinate the provision of data and data products on short-lived atmospheric constituents and clouds relevant to clim
This paper addresses the conflict between an ethics of care and instrumental concerns in caring leadership. Caring leadership has become increasingly popular in organisation and management studies, encompassing a view of leadership that emphasises that paying attention to relational concerns is a fundamental duty of managers in contemporary organisations. It emphasises leaders seeing employees not
Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation
Honor-related violence and oppression in Sweden- A qualitative study of women's shelters and shelters work This bachelor essay is intended to investigate how different women's shelters are working with women and girls with honor problematic. Honour-related violence is different from domestic violence. Honour-related violence began to attract attention very early 21-st century when the mur
Anestesiläkare rapporterades i en svensk studie ha en högre mortalitet än genomsnittet av läkare. Detta fynd har dock ej kunnat reproduceras i motsvarande studier i de övriga nordiska länderna. Likväl har det spekulerats i om den angivna överrisken bland svenska anestesiläkare kan relateras till gruppens jourarbete med höga krav, nattarbete och stress. Kunskapen om hälsoeffekter av läkares jourarb
Internet access has been a part of the range in public libraries for approximately a decade. The Swedish municipals, in charge of the public libraries, and the libraries themselves, have a great deal of saying in how they should be run, what to offer the public, how many hours they have to stay open etcetera. The Library law is very vague on many things, including public Internet access. Even thou
This research explores the development and use of waste to energy (WTE) technologies in Europe and in the Province of Ontario, Canada. As the quantity of waste generated has continued to increase in industrialized countries, the need for alternative waste management methods to reduce the dependency on landfill and to recover the resource in the waste has also increased. Many European countries, in
When we communicate with others, we use a variety of abilities to facilitate and enable that communication. These abilities range from being responsive to others’ communicative cues to making one’s own communication more functional. Such facilitators of communication has been suggested as atypical in the development of autism. Reduced infant responsiveness towards communicative cues -– such as speWhen we communicate with others, we use a variety of abilities to facilitate and enable that communication.

The medial temporal lobe (MTL) is connected to the rest of the brain through two main networks: the anterior-temporal (AT) and the posterior-medial (PM) systems. Given the crucial role of the MTL and networks in the physiopathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the present study aimed at (1) investigating whether MTL atrophy propagates specifically within the AT and PM networks, and (2) evaluating
In an explorative manner this article uses a data driven digital history set-up to focus on broad cultural heritage issues in Sweden during the second half of the 20th century. By distant reading and topic modeling a dataset of 3100 Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) between 1945–89, the article gives a new perspective of how the Swedish state examined and discussed national cultural herita
Inflation began to increase rapidly towards the end of 2021 and remained elevated throughout 2022. Higher energy prices contributed significantly to the increase in inflation. However, core-inflation, excluding the direct contribution of energy prices, was also significantly above the European Central Bank’s inflation target.

Higher energy prices contributed significantly to the increase in inflation. However, core inflation, excluding the direct contribution of energy prices, was also significantly above the European Central Bank’s inflation target, which was partially due to the highly expansion
During lipolysis of chylomicron triacylglycerol by lipoprotein lipase, arachidonic acid (AA) esters are hydrolyzed at a slower rate than the predominant 16-18 carbon fatty acid esters. The further metabolism of the AA that is hereby enriched in the chylomicron remnant acylglycerols has not been investigated. In the present study, we examined the low density lipoprotein (LDL) dependent and independ
Background: Countries rely on out-of-pocket (OOP) spending to different degrees and employ varying techniques. The article examines trends in OOP spending in ten high-income countries since 2000, and analyzes their relationship to self-assessed barriers to accessing health care services. The countries are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland
Adverse weather conditions can cause deterioration of wireless channels, leading to reduced link capacities. Unlike in other types of networks, in radio-based wireless mesh networks, the link capacities depend not only on the prevailing conditions, but also on interfering transmissions, as well as the transmission power and modulation and coding schemes used. This leads to increased difficulty in Adverse weather conditions can cause deterioration of wireless channels, leading to reduced link capacities.

Sites of Lobaria pulmonaria reported from the nemoral zone of the Swedish provinces Skåne and Blekinge since 1990 were revisited. At each locality, the habitat ecology and lichen viability were investigated. A substantial decline was noted, particularly in Skåne, as L. pulmonaria was found at only 24 sites, 22 of which were forests and two were wooded meadows. The commonest habitats for L. pulmona
