In Sweden approximately ten percent of all children grows up in a family where at least one parent is having an alcohol related addiction. Since 1998 the development of group activities for children in this situation has been immense. The aim of group activities is to break the child's isolation and make them feel that they are not lonely in their experiences, give them knowledge about addicti
Förvaltningsmyndigheter är en stor och olikartad grupp vilken bör särskiljas från samlingsbegreppet, och det i dagligt tal använda begreppet, myndighet. Detta har betydelse inte minst ur ett lagtekniskt perspektiv då förvaltningslagen (1986:223), FL, endast ska tillämpas av förvaltningsmyndigheter. Vilka myndigheter som omfattas är dock inte helt klart, då en tydlig definition saknas. Inför att Administrative authorities are a large and heterogeneous group which should be separated from what is referred to as public authorities. The Administrative Procedure Act is only applicable to administrative authorities. What public authorities that are included are not easy to determine as there is no clear definition. When an administrative authority is to make a decision that involves exercise
Tillgänglighet har funnits starkt relaterat till socio-ekonomiska indikatorer och markanvändning i många studier. Termen tillgänglighet har många definitioner. I grunden beskriver termen möjligheterna eller med vilken lätthet man kan nå, förskaffa eller delta i en plats, vara eller en aktivitet beroende på spatial eller social separation. Denna studien har fokuserat på den spatiala separationen. IAccessibility has been found closely linked to socio-economic indicators and to land use in many studies. The term has many definitions, basically the term describes the ability or the ease in which a location, opportunity or ware can be reached, obtained or be participated in by either spatially separated or socially separated people. This study has focused on the spatial separation. In this stud
Sjömansyrket är till karaktären ett speciellt yrke där en grundförutsättning är att arbetstagare rör sig över nationsgränser. Genom arbetets natur och dess globala prägel har det historiskt varit ett yrke som särskiljts från den normala inkomstbeskattningen och varit föremål för undantagsregler. Både konkurrensskäl och kolliderande beskattningsanspråk från olika stater är bidragande orsaker till d
Lead was an essential part of bullets used at shooting ranges in Sweden. This has lead to that many shooting ranges have elevated amounts of lead in the soil, ie. lead ground contamination. As lead causes severe health effects on humans and animals, and accumulates in the nature then this is of great concern. This contamination and its effects on humans is also very important since many of those s
The COVID-19 pandemic may have severe impact on mental health, and concerns have been raised about potentially increased online behavior and possibly increased gambling problems, such as in sports bettors at risk of transfer to even riskier forms of gambling during sports lock-down. Given the need for objective data about gambling behavior during the pandemic, the present analysis, from a project
Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in collision between patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and those with cancer on different fronts. Patients with cancer have been impacted by deferral, modification, and even cessation of therapy. Adaptive measures to minimize hospital exposure, following the precautionary principle, have been proposed for cancer care during COVID-19 era. We present he
Consumer choice policies may improve the matching of consumers and providers, and may spur competition over quality dimensions relevant to consumers. However, the gains from choice may fail to materialise in markets characterised by information frictions and switching costs. We use two large-scale randomised field experiments in primary health care to examine if individuals reconsider their provid
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors have an increased morbidity and mortality from secondary cancers and cardiovascular disease (CD). We evaluate doses with involved node radiotherapy (INRT) delivered as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3D CRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), or proton therapy (PT), compared with the extensive Mantle Field (MF). Patients and methods: For 27 patients with early-sta
Purpose: Added sugar is associated with a variety of adverse health outcomes, but its association with kidney stones is unclear. This study was to determine whether added sugar is associated with kidney stones. Materials and methods: This nationally representative study used National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) datasets from 2007 to 2018 for analysis. People aged ≥20 years who
Red blood cell (RBC) and iron status biomarkers are commonly used in clinical diagnostics. However, interpretations of infant test results are inherently challenging. Modern well-defined comparative data based on presumably healthy term-born infants have mainly been lacking and interpretations could be further complicated by interference from frequent infections. Moreover, the trends that follow w
PurposeTo determine the association between the occurrence of sporadic and periodic fetal heart rate accelerations during labor and acidemia at birth.Materials and methodsThis is a case–control study of fetal heart rate patterns from 364 neonates with acidemia at birth (cord blood pH ResultsDuring the first stage, ≥2 sporadic accelerations were present in 16% of cases and 78% of controls; OR for
Although there are some epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of insulin resistance, most of them did not replicate their findings and are focused in populations of European ancestry limiting the generalizability. In EPIPREG (294 Europeans and 162 South Asians), we conducted an EWAS of insulin resistance in maternal peripheral blood leukocytes, with replication in Born in Bradford (n=879; 430
Error estimation and data fusion are critical to improving the accuracy of global model- and satellite-based precipitation products for practical applications. However, they face challenges over vast areas of the world due to limited ground observations. Triple collocation (TC) method can overcome this limitation and provide an efficient way for error estimation without the “ground truth” and thus
Production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from sugar beet molasses as feed-stock should in theory be a straight-forward process: first, hydrolysis of sucrose, followed by dehydration of fructose, but is in reality challenging. The enzyme-catalysed sucrose hydrolysis is inhibited by impurities and the dehydration of fructose has low conversions. In this study, pretreatment of crude molasses through pur
Background: Many blood group antigens are carried by red cell surface proteins, thefunctions of which are not yet fully characterized or in some cases completelyunknown. By investigating red cells with naturally-occurring blood group variants,much has been learnt about the underlying molecules. However, interindividualvariation affecting other molecules than the one(s) of interest may confound oro
Sweden’s child welfare services are characterised by intra-organisational specialisation and collaboration with Barnahus as a standard procedure in cases of child abuse. This chapter examines what happens with social workers’ risk assessments when they are both filtered internally at different units and in relation to Barnahus and a criminal law-oriented logic. Various organisational tensions are
Perioperative hyponatremia, due to non-osmotic release of the antidiuretic hormone arginine vasopressin, is a serious electrolyte disorder observed in connection with many types of surgery. Since blood loss during surgery contributes to the pathogenesis of hyponatremia, we explored the effect of bleeding on plasma sodium using a controlled hypotensive hemorrhage pig model. After 30-min baseline pe
