The purpose of this essay is to describe some of the factors influencing the ability to see to the best interest of the child originating from article 3.1, in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which states: " In all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, courts of law, administrative authorities or legislative bodies, the
It is a commonly held belief that human rights and economic development has a relationship where the one hinders the other, and that governments in developing countries must choose one or the other. This essay explores the relationship between the two in the context of the economic development in South Korea since its liberation in 1948. It will do a historical overview and see how the economic po
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka förändringen av den psykiska hälsan hos en grupp manliga flyktingar. Skattningarna är utförda före och efter stabiliserande/inledande gruppbehandling utförd vid Röda Korsets behandlingscenter för krigsskadade och torterade i Malmö. Validerade och välkända självskattningsverktyg avseende posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD), depression och ångest har använts. SThis study aims to investigate changes in mental health of a group of male refugees. The estimates are done before and after initial stabilization treatment, performed at the Red Cross treatment center for war wounded and tortured in Malmö. Validated and well-known self-assessment tool for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression and anxiety have been used. The estimates are made on three
Popular science summary The effect of glucose and incretin proteins on insulin secretion and OPN production Insulin secretion is a sensitive cellular process with ramifications in diabetes mellitus development. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, a chronic condition defined by high levels of circulating glucose. Insulin hormone is the primary regulator of glucose absorption from
Many proteins consist of folded domains connected by regions with higher flexibility. The details of the resulting conformational ensemble play a central role in controlling interactions between domains and with binding partners. Small-Angle Scattering (SAS) is well-suited to study the conformational states adopted by proteins in solution. However, analysis is complicated by the limited informatio
BACKGROUND: Aortic-root dissection is the leading cause of death in Marfan's syndrome. Studies suggest that with regard to slowing aortic-root enlargement, losartan may be more effective than beta-blockers, the current standard therapy in most centers.METHODS: We conducted a randomized trial comparing losartan with atenolol in children and young adults with Marfan's syndrome. The primary outcome w
In this paper, we introduce a wideband dictionary framework for estimating sparse signals. By formulating integrated dictionary elements spanning bands of the considered parameter space, one may efficiently find and discard large parts of the parameter space not active in the signal. After each iteration, the zero-valued parts of the dictionary may be discarded to allow a refined dictionary to be
Objective: To present the baseline data of the international TuberOus SClerosis registry to increase disease Awareness (TOSCA) with emphasis on the characteristics of epilepsies associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC).Methods: Retrospective and prospective patients' data on all aspects of TSC were collected from multiple countries worldwide. Epilepsy variables included seizure type, age a
Drawing on international and national research and examples from Swedish miracle-tales from the Middle Ages, the author discusses the symbiosis as well as the tensions implicit in the canonization processes. It was a matter of reconciling God and secular law, faith and evidence, trust and scepticism, spirituality and materiality. The author argues that faith in miracles probably was not blind, nei
We propose and analyze a simple mesoscopic quantum heat engine that exhibits both high power and high efficiency. The system consists of a biased Josephson junction coupled to two microwave cavities, with each cavity coupled to a thermal bath. Resonant Cooper pair tunneling occurs with the exchange of photons between cavities, and a temperature difference between the baths can naturally lead to a
The analytical technique of ion beam thermography (IBT) is reported for the first time. IBT is a technique for the determination of chemical compounds. This IBT setup combines the multielemental ion beam technique's particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) and particle elastic scattering analysis (PESA) with thermography. A large number of elements are monitored with PIXE (Z > 14) and PESA (hydrogen
Inom läkarutbildningen vid Lunds universitet förekommer undervisning i samtalsmetodik under såväl den prekliniska som den kliniska delen. Under kursen i samhällsmedicin på termin 10 träffas grupper om sex till sju studenter och en gruppledare fyra gånger för att diskutera studenternas videoinspelade konsultationer. Vi har utvärderat detta moment genom en klassrumsenkät till samtliga studenter och At Lund University Medical School communication skills are taught during both the preclinical and clinical part of the medical programme. As part of the training during the 5th year the students are required to videotape at least one patient consultation at a local primary health care centre. The students then meet in groups of 6-7 participants and a group leader to watch the recorded consultation
Sulfur-containing compounds are used as rescue agents to protect normal tissue from the toxic side effects of cis-[PtCl2(NH3)(2)] (cisplatin) without affecting its anti-tumour activity. Reactions of the model complexes [Pt(dien)Cl](+) (1) and [Pt(dien)(GSMe)](2+) (2) (GSMe = S-methylglutathione) with the rescue agents glutathione (GSH), thiourea, thiosulfate, and diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) have
The MR examinations in 25 patients with intramedullary tumors were analyzed. Seven patients were diagnosed with astrocytoma, 6 ependymoma, 2 unspecified glioma, 3 medulloblastoma, 2 metastasis, one neurinoma, and one teratoma. In 3 patients the diagnosis was uncertain. The tumors frequently involved a large portion of the cord and were often accompanied by intratumor necrosis, cystic degeneration,
Swedish universities and government authorities are increasingly making their publications electronically available on the World Wide Web, either on web sites or in local systems, so called institutional repositories. Standardisation of metadata is a way of increasing access to these publications. Tools and workflows are also being developed to secure long term preservation and access. On 18 Octob
