Since January 1st, 2008, there is a law in Sweden prescribing that all municipalities must be able to offer youths under 21 years of age mediation in case of crime. When mediating, two different kinds of mediators are used, one being a professional mediator and the other one a layman mediator. The purpose of my essay has been to examine how two rather small municipalities use laymen mediators and
Denna uppsats behandlar leverantörers möjligheter till skadestånd vid offentlig upphandling. De frågor som kommer att behandlas är under vilka förutsättningar en leverantör har rätt till skadestånd enligt lag om offentlig upphandling (LOU), huruvida det är möjligt för en leverantör att grunda sin skadeståndstalan direkt på skadeståndslagen (SkL) samt hur skadeståndet ska beräknas. Då lagstiftningeThis paper discusses suppliers' possibilities to recover damages at public procurement. The issues that will be addressed are the conditions under which a supplier is entitled to damages under the law on Public Procurement, whether it is possible for a supplier to base their claim for compensation directly on the Tort Liability Act, and how damages should be calculated. Since the legislation h
I Sverige förvaltar upphovsrättsorganisationen Sveriges Tonsättares Internationella Musikbyrå (STIM) rättighetsinnehavares musikaliska verk så som de framkommer i 2 § lagen (1960:729) om upphovsrätt till litterära och konstnärliga verk (URL). En del av förvaltningen går ut på att övervaka rättigheterna och licensiera dem till användare mot en ekonomisk ersättning. Sedan en lång tid har upphovsrättIn Sweden, the exclusive rights to musical works such as presented in § 2 Act (1960:729) on Copyright in Literary and Artistic Works (URL) are managed by the collecting society Sveriges Tonsättares Internationella Musikbyrå (STIM). STIM monitor the right holder’s works and licenses them to users in return for economic compensation. Collecting societies such as STIM have long been considered to con
This study examines Tanusia, a woman depicted in the historiographical work of Dio Cassius. The study is focusing on the confrontation between Tanusia and Octavianus [Augustus] at the theatre during the second triumvirate (43 b.C – 31 a.D). The meeting between the two was a result of Tanusia’s husband being proscribed in the aftermath of Julius Caesar’s murder. Being proscribed initially meant bei
The genetic causes of familial breast cancer are still unclear, where only less than 20% have evident germline mutations. Most studies focus on mutations that cause a direct impact in the protein, disregarding the synonymous variants, where the codon is changed but the amino acid encoded remains the same. Synonymous variants can affect mRNA stability and translation, by differences in codon usage
Spåravgifter - Är det tillåtet och hur vanligt är det? En promenad i naturen, en cykeltur i skogen eller en skidtur på fjället - ja allt detta har vi rätt att utföra helt gratis tack vare allemansrätten. Men under senare år har det blivit allt vanligare att man tvingas att betala för skidspår och cykelspår i naturen. Är denna utveckling verkligen förenlig med allemansrätten? I det nyligen preseThe right of public access, in Swedish called allemansrätten, gives people the opportunity to roam freely in nature. Whether one prefers to explore nature by foot, on a bike or on a pair of skis is up to the individual since the right of public access includes all the above-mentioned types of transportation. Today there seems to be a trend that the usage of cross-country skiing tracks and mountain

Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility and accuracy of chemical shift–encoded imaging of the fatty acid composition (FAC) of human bone marrow adipose tissue at 7 T, and to determine suitable image-acquisition parameters using simulations. Methods: The noise performance of FAC estimation was investigated using simulations with a range of inter-echo time, and accuracy was assessed using a phantom
Using biomass for charcoal production in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) may change carbon stock dynamics and lead to irreversible changes in the carbon balance, yet we have little understanding of whether these dynamics vary by biome in this region. Currently, charcoal production contributes up to 7% of yearly deforestation in tropical regions, with carbon emissions corresponding to 71.2 million tonnes
Two large-scale randomized screening trials, the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary (PLCO) cancer trial in the USA and the European Randomized Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial in Europe are currently under way, aimed at assessing whether screening reduces prostate cancer mortality. Up to the end of 1998, 102,691 men have been randomized to the intervention arm and 115,322 to the contr
BACKGROUND: Patients with acute coronary occlusion (ACO) may not only have ischemia-related ST-segment changes but also changes in the QRS complex. It has recently been shown in dogs that a greater ischemic QRS prolongation (IQP) during ACO is related to lower collateral flow. This suggests that greater IQP could indicate more severe ischemia and thereby more rapid infarct development. Therefore,
Despite the growing interest in employee voice, real opportunities for co-workers to challenge the status quo are limited (Kenny et al., 2020; Wilkinson et al., 2018; de Maria, 2008). This conceptual paper explores the unruly dimension of employee voice in connection to whistleblowing and protest as modes of ethical resistance (de Maria, 2008). It partly follows recent attempts inorganisation stud
Different methods can be used to define healthy vascular ageing (HVA). In this prospective cohort study, we explored three different definitions in order to provide guidance for which to use. 2718 subjects were included from the Cardiovascular (CV) arm of the Malmö Diet Cancer Study (MDCS; median age 71.9 years, 62.2% females). Three different definitions of HVA were used: HVA-1 (<15th percentile
Objectives: The adaptive humoral immune response following clinical infection with extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales (EPE) has not been thoroughly investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of anti-CTX-M-15 and/or anti-CTX-M-27 IgG antibodies in bacteremia patients diagnosed with EPE compared to a control group consisting of patients suffer
Breast cancer screening is predominantly performed using digital mammography (DM), but higher sensitivity has been demonstrated with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). A partial DBT screening in selected groups with a clear benefit from DBT might be more feasible than a full implementation, and using artificial intelligence (AI) to select women for DBT might be a possibility. This study used data
Background. Seeking to clarify the parent-offspring transmission of Major Depression (MD) and type I Bipolar Disorder (BD), we examined offspring MD and BD risk in five informative parental pairs: Unaffected x MD, Unaffected x BD, MDxMD, MDxBD and BDxBD. Methods. We identified 289,637 individuals born in Sweden 1970-1990, followed through 2018, from parents with MD and/or BD identified from Swedis
Background and aims Secondary prevention medications after myocardial infarction (MI) are crucial for reducing mortality and cardiovascular events, however, adherence is often suboptimal. This study aimed to investigate predictors of adherence, and clinical outcomes among STEMI and NSTEMI survivors in Sweden. Methods This nationwide cohort study included patients hospitalized with MI between 2017
We study the effect of more informative feedback on student performance. Using data on the population of Swedish school children, we exploit a reform to the grading system in compulsory school which in 2011 introduced a more granular grading scale and thus provided students with more informative feedback on their academic performance. Exploiting a difference-in-discontinuity research design, we fi
BACKGROUND: Growing concerns over the environmental and human health impacts of conventional insecticides have intensified interest in botanical alternatives, including essential oils. However, their compositional complexity poses challenges for quality control and consistent efficacy. This study evaluated and compared the predictability of nonparametric and parametric models for predicting the mi
