In this chapter we argue for taking time and place into account in analyses of law and legal practice and for law to embrace a chronotopic approach. We demonstrate the relevance of this approach through a chronotopic analysis of the crime of sexual molestation under Chapter 6 Section 10 in the Swedish Criminal Code (1962:700). We present results from a quantitative study of 215 police-reported inc
Commercial sexual exploitation of Children and Adolescents (CSEC) is an increasing problem all over the world and especially in developing countries with growing tourist industries. In these countries CSEC and Child Sex Tourism have become two often closely connected problems. In Costa Rica there are many NGOs and governmental institutions working with these problems through prevention, attention
The purpose of this thesis is to explore whether access to justice in Guatemala can be provided for the Mayan population by the use of their own justice system and what the consequences of its application would be. Prohibiting factors are economical, geographical, linguistic, cultural and institutional in nature. It is clearly the indigenous people that suffer most from the lack of the basic right
OBJECTIVES: Pectus excavatum (PE) can cause both physical and psychosocial symptoms and affect patients' health-related quality of life. Previous international studies have shown that the Nuss procedure increases both self-esteem and body image. The aim of the study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life in patients who have undergone the Nuss procedure for PE. METHODS: The study had a
Spectrum clustering is a powerful strategy to minimize redundant mass spectra by grouping them based on similarity, with the aim of forming groups of mass spectra from the same repeatedly measured analytes. Each such group of near-identical spectra can be represented by its so-called consensus spectrum for downstream processing. Although several algorithms for spectrum clustering have been adequat
Decisions to admit or refuse admission to intensive care for acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) can be difficult, due to an uncertainty about prognosis. Few studies have evaluated outcomes after intensive care for AECOPD in patients with chronic respiratory failure requiring long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT). In this nationwide observational cohort study, we investigated survival after first-time
Purpose: To explore pressure-related effects in the adult porcine retina in vitro. Methods: Retinal explants were subjected to 0, 10, 30, or 60 mmHg of pressure for 24 or 48 hours in culture. Overall tissue damage in sections was assessed by lactate dehydrogenase media levels, hematoxylin and eosin staining, and TUNEL staining. Inner retinal neurons were evaluated by protein kinase C alpha (rod bi
PURPOSE: To investigate acute and long-term changes in hormonal and inflammatory biomarkers in nonambulant children with cerebral palsy in response to dynamic standing exercise.METHODS: Fourteen children with severe cerebral palsy were recruited. Anthropometrics and body composition measures were obtained. Physical activity levels before the study were assessed using hip-worn accelerometry. All ch
Fishing is a livelihood that is typical for many Indigenous peoples in the world and is often based on specific natural resources within areas that they have traditionally inhabited, giving rise to a distinct culture and way of life. Fishing may be important for the subsistence of an Indigenous group but also for trade, social life, language, ceremonies or artwork. It is also transmitted from gene
Dermatitis herpetiformis has been investigated in the past; however, only a limited number of studies have reported its incidence based on validated nationwide population-based registries. To address this gap, the aims of this study are to estimate the incidence of dermatitis herpetiformis in Sweden and to validate the National Patient Register (NPR) for diagnosis of dermatitis herpetiformis. A po
The purpose of the study was to develop a simple and rapid method for measuring the average settling velocity of particles in stormwater ponds. Water samples with suspended particles were collected from the bottom of a stormwater pond in Lund, Sweden. The absorbance in various samples was measured over 24 hours (at 600 nm wavelength) and then translated into total solids concentrations. A one-dime
Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a safe procedure. However, complications occur, including uncommon complications such as valve malposition, which requires the implantation of an additional rescue valve (rescue-AV). The aim was to study the occurrence and outcomes of rescue-AV in a nationwide registry. Methods: The Swedish national TAVI registry was used as the
Benzodiazepine receptor binding heterogeneity evident from differential affinities of some ligands was compared with that suggested by differential interactions with γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)/bicuculline and pyrazolopyridine/barbiturate receptor sites. The GABA receptor antagonist bicuculline only partially reverses pentobarbital enhancement of [3H] diazepam binding in rat brain membranes, while
Information about genetic variation has been collected for some 20 years into registries, known as locus specific databases (LSDBs), which nowadays often contain information in addition to the actual genetic variation. Several issues have to be taken into account when considering establishing and maintaining LSDBs and these have been discussed previously in a number of articles describing guidelin
Epidemiological studies have shown an increased incidence of cancer among workers occupationally exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). As the dermal route is considered important for exposure to PAHs in the workplace, the aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a tape-stripping technique for monitoring dermal exposure to pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene. The tape-stripping method was
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a type of cardiac arrhythmia that significantly increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. In general, in the case of patients affected by AF, their electrocardiogram (ECG) shows a typical pattern of irregular RR intervals and abnormal P waves. However, discriminating AF from a normal sinus rhythm or from other types of rhythms remains a challenging problem today.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Färger innehåller mer tillförlitlig information än vad bara skillnader i ljusintensitet gör. Det är därför inte svårt att förstå varför de allra flesta landlevande ryggradsdjur har färgseende. Några upplever en färgfattigare värld än vi människor, men många ser fler färgnyanser. På kvällen däremot gör bristen på ljus det svårt att se färger. Trots detta finns det nattakMost terrestrial vertebrates have colour vision, some perceive a less colourful world and others actually discriminate a wider colour spectrum than humans do. Still, we can all make use of the valuable colour information, which is more rigid than just brightness. However, at night when the light is dim, the lack of photons makes colour vision difficult. Nevertheless, some hawkmoths and bees can se
This paper presents current results of an ongoing project to develop a Modelica base library for thermohydraulic systems. There are many different aspects to the development of such a library, fromthe basic physics of fluids and heat to the structuring of model classes in the library and the actual implementation in the Modelica language. The structuring should define interfaces and partial classe
The VOTS2025 is the third edition of the Visual Object Tracking Segmentation benchmark. Organised the VOT initiative, VOTS builds on 10 years of experience in organising VOT challenges. Building on the tracking setup introduced in VOTS2023, the challenge continues to integrate short-term and long-term tracking, as well as single-target and multi-target scenarios, using segmentation masks as the so
