Despite the clear restrictive guidelines about the use of modern handheld devices among children younger than 2 years, parents are seen to extensively use these devices with their infants. However, parents’ perceptions in this regard remain unclear and underexplored especially, in the context of South Asian cultures such as Pakistan. This qualitative study aims to explore parents’ perceptions rega
Introduction: The bicoid (bcd) gene in Drosophila has served as a paradigm for a morphogen in textbooks for decades. Discovered in 1986 as a mutation affecting anterior development in the embryo, its expression pattern as a protein gradient later confirmed the prediction from transplantation experiments. These experiments suggested that the protein fulfills the criteria of a true morphogen, with t
Popular Abstract in Swedish I avhandlingen försöker jag visa hur polis, socialtjänst, rättsväsen, massmedia, olika intressegrupper, allmänhet och inte minst ungdomar själva skapar föreställningar om vad som är ett ungdomsproblem. De rutiner som de olika organisationernas aktörer utvecklar och det sätt som ungdomar och vi övriga "pratar" om ungdomsproblem bidrar till att den framställda bilden som The main aim of my dissertation is to investigate som conceptions, power relations, and practices in the discourse of youth problems. I have studied some of the actors that are involved in the social constructing of the "juvenile delinquent" such as the police, the judical system, the social service, the media, the general public and last but not least, the young people themselves. The bulk of my
Context. The HR 1614 is an overdensity in velocity space and has for a long time been known as an old (2 Gyr) and metal-rich ([Fe=H] +0:2) nearby moving group that has a dissolving open cluster origin. The existence of such old and metal-rich groups in the solar vicinity is quite unexpected since the vast majority of nearby moving groups are known to be young. Aims. In the light of new and signifi
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is challenging the world. With no vaccine and limited medical capacity to treat the disease, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPI) are the main strategy to contain the pandemic. Unprecedented global travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders are causing the most severe disruption of the global economy since World War II. With international travel bans affecting ov
Abstract Objective. To increase the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) from creatinine overall and at measured GFR ≥90 mL/min per 1.73 m(2) by revising the Lund-Malmö (LM) equations, to elaborate on more complex forms to improve the LM and CKD-EPI equations further, and to assess benefits of adding lean body mass (LBM). Material and methods. Swedish Caucasians (n = 850, 376 women; median 60, range 1
One of the target goals for sustainable development is the reduction of maternal mortality, which is a big health issue in some countries. Even if the research on maternal health care has come far and with the right expertise and supplies, almost all maternal deaths would be preventable. A working force to reduce the issues within maternal mortality in many countries are non-governmental organizat
The international law of the sea has its roots in Roman law embedded in the ancient doctrines of res communis and res nullius. The law came from custom and practice and was transformed into customary law periodically confirmed and consolidated by fundamental doctrines such as mare liberum or freedom of the seas enunciated by Hugo Grotius in the 1500s and eventually by the doctrine of common herita
Title: A changed life by hiv? – A study of three life stories [translated title] The purpose of this study was to, through a theoretical framework consisting of stigma and crisis theories, illustrate and create an understanding of how you can experience life after testing positive for HIV. More specifically its aim was to examine the impact of a HIV-positive test result and how an HIV infection a
Sepsis is a serious clinical syndrome and one of the most common causes of death. It is defined as a microbial invasion and excessive immune reaction. There is no common cure for sepsis, and mortality in sepsis is high and rises quickly, so it is important to start precise treatment quickly. Sepsis is, however, hard to diagnose, as it has no symptoms specific to it alone, and thus new ways to diag
For the last three decades, many things have changed around us. New businesses have grown up and new fields have emerged. One such field is video games which are liked by children. There is already research, which proves that children often like to play violent games which affect their personality and make their behavior violent (Rathus, 2004; Anderson & Dill, 2000; Crawford, 2003; Walsh, 2001
Los Bambues is a low socioeconomic status (SES) barrio tucked away in the municipality of Giron, in the Metropolitan area of Bucaramanga, Colombia. This study observes a case of nineteen adolescents from the barrio, who are members of a youth program, in order to learn more about their career aspirations and who or what enables those aspirations. It discovers that family ties play the largest enab
Mord är det allvarligaste av de grövsta brotten. Straffet för den som berövar en annan person livet har sedan brottsbalkens ikraftträdande år 1965 varit fängelse i 10 år eller på livstid. I syfte att skapa en mer nyanserad straffmätning för mord och en höjd straffnivå för de mord som ej föranleder fängelse på livstid infördes den 1 juli 2009 en utvidgad straffskala för mord, enligt vilken den som Murder is the most serious crime of violence according to Swedish law. The punishment for a person who commits a murder has been either 10 years or a lifetime in imprisonment since the year of 1965. In order to create a more nuanced sentencing for murder and increased punishments for murders that do not give rise to life imprisonment imposed on 1 July 2009 an expanded scale of punishment for murde

The study has also intended to get an insight into attitudes and thoughts surrounding the archival function in the museum context. The result has been analyzed with basis in archival theory. Especially appraisal theory has been of great importan
The objective of this paper is to understand the debate around the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and find a tool to describe it. In connection with the games a great debate occurred around the world: whether the games should be boycotted or not. The reasons for the boycott threat was because of the Chinese attitude towards human rights. By following the debate in the two bigger Swedish newspap
Reduced, stoichiometric and oxidized TiO2(110) surfaces have been compared using valence photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that the intensity from the band-gap state carries contributions from both oxygen surface vacancies and residual Ti interstitials, present after the sample cleaning procedure. The density of Ti interstitials was found to be 0.05 +/- 0.02 monlayers (ML), while the de
