Abstract in UndeterminedTranslational stem cell research raises many interesting ethical questions, which have, to a greater or lesser degree, been debated at an international as well as at an interdisciplinary level. Nevertheless, there is still no international consensus regarding how a number of ethical questions related to this research should be answered. Many of these ethical questions creat
Biodiversity, the variety of life at all organisational levels from genes to ecosystems, affects ecosystem processes and therefore the goods and services ecosystems provide. More research is needed to provide new insights into biodiversity changes and the processes that drive these changes, in order to formulate effective policy and conservation measures to stop the ongoing biodiversity loss. In
Transition to adulthood, referring to the process of moving from childhood to adulthood, can be a complex period for youths with disabilities who might need special support transitioning into an independent life as adults. Caregivers are significant persons for the youths, which is why their own health and wellbeing is important. Therefore the overall aim of this thesis was to gain a deeper unders
The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). These guidelines were prepared following the Standard Operational Procedure of the ESO and according to the GRADE methodology. Although BAO accounts for only 1–2% of all strokes, it has very poor natural outcome. W
Background and Objectives – Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is characterized by an amnestic- and limbic-predominant phenotype, which can mimic Alzheimer disease (AD). In a memory clinic cohort, we tested whether clinical criteria for LATE can detect a clinical profile of LATE that is distinct from AD.Methods – In this retrospective examination of a longitudinal memory c
In international trade with buyer and seller in different countries the parties can be insecure whether their counterpart will fulfil its contractual obligations in accordance with the contract of sale. The seller can be insecure in getting paid for his goods at contractual time and the buyer's insecurity can be whether the goods will be shipped at the contractual time and in contractual state
Första delen i denna avhandling fokuserar på 'Imaging Mass Spectrometry' (IMS), en analytisk teknik med kartografiska egenskaper. Denna teknik används dock inte för att kartlägga geografiska terränger, utan för att skapa kartor över det kemiska landskapet i biologiska prover, från vävnadssnitt av organ eller tumörer till enskilda celler. Dessa kartor visar med hög precision var olika molekyler, såThe development of imaging technologies and brain models is crucial for advancements in neurotherapeutic drug discovery and development. They assume a critical role in evaluating essential parameters such as drug blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeation, distribution, and metabolism, all of which are vital for the development of safe and effective medications. In the first part of this thesis, we expl
Grunderna i cancerbehandling är kirurgi, strålterapi och behandling med cancerläkemedel, ofta i kombination med varandra. Regimer med cancerläkemedel som definierar det eller de läkemedel som används, deras doser, hur ofta och hur länge de ska ges, har utvecklats och används för olika cancerdiagnoser. Flera professioner inom sjukvården är involverade i behandlingen: läkaren som ordinerar läkemedleThe basics in cancer treatment are surgery, radiation therapy, and treatment with cancer drugs, often combined. Chemotherapy regimens that define the drugs used, the dosage, the frequency and duration of drug administration, have been developed and used for different cancer diagnoses. Several healthcare professionals are involved in the treatment: the physician prescribing the drugs, the pharmacis
Background: Prediction of neurological outcome in unconscious patients after cardiac arrest (CA) forms the basis for decisions on further level-of-care based on results from clinical neurological examinations, neuroimaging (CT or MRI), neurophysiology (EEG or SSEP) and blood biomarkers of brain injury. Methods must be highly specific to avoid misclassifying patients with possibilities of a good ou
Climate changes, tightly linked to anthropogenic activities, are significantly altering environments and ecosystems globally, such as by increasing marine and coastal deoxygenation or occurrences of extreme weather events. The significance of paleoenvironmental and -climate reconstructions, as well as monitoring of current conditions, for unravelling baseline natural variation, today’s changes and
The subject of the present thesis is children’s rights in the process of debt collection. The main focus of the thesis is article 3.1 of Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and its legal relevance in proportionality tests prior to decisions on seizure and sales of houses and apartments in Swedish insolvency law. The thesis is based on two studies. One legal dogmatic study on Swedish enforc
Att Sverige har problem med långa häktningstider är allvarligt med tanke på häktningens karaktär som det mest ingripande av alla tvångsmedel. En av orsakerna till de långa häktningstiderna är att det ofta tar lång tid att får analyssvaren från de kriminaltekniska undersökningarna. Det är vanligt förekommande att åklagaren behöver begära att en misstänkte ska kvarbli i häkte med hänvisning till attThe length if detention periods in Sweden is a serious issue due to detention being the most intrusive of all coercive measures. One of the reasons behind long detention periods is that forensic investigations often are delayed. It is common that the prosecutor has to request continued detention because of forensic investigations not being completed. This essay investigated the questions of to wha
In Sweden there has been an increasing power shortage recently, especially in the region of Scania, which has resulted in escalating electricity prices and in turn a public will to fix the problem. The situation is a result of the existing electricity production being decommissioned or replaced by more variable alternatives together with the fact that electricity transmission from other parts of S
Background: Climate change and increasing threats that come with it fosters a need for changing from fossil sources of energy to renewable ones. Sweden aims to have net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the year of 2045. One of the sectors that need to take part in this shift towards fossil free energy is the transport industry. Electrification of vehicles is an important part of this shift. As a r
Flexible Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a plastic material commonly used in today’s society and a fundamental material for a lot of sectors. It has advantages over other polymers such as energy-efficient production, flame retardancy, durability and cost-effective. The one important component in flexible PVC that gives it is flexible properties is the plasticizer. The most common plasticizers used are
Climate change and human impact play a huge role in the sustainability and development of ecosystems and the services they offer to societies over temporal and spatial scales. Fossil pollen-based estimates provide unique information on past land cover change, but to date there are not many methods able to create spatially continuous maps and have a fine scale of land cover changes inferred from po
Stigande energianvändning och global uppvärmning har lett till en ökad efterfrågan av förnyel-sebara energikällor. Ett alternativ är att utnyttja avloppsvatten för att producera biogas. Avlopps-vatten kan därav ses som en resurs snarare än avfall. I biogasproduktion används anaerob ned-brytning där mikroorganismer bryter ner organiskt material till metan. Primär rening är första steget inom avlopThe global heating has resulted in rising temperatures and more extreme weather conditions around the world. In combination with increasing energy demands, this has led to an increasing demand of renewable energy. One option is utilizing the wastewater to produce biogas. There-fore, wastewater can be seen as a resource rather than waste. Biogas production is based on anaerobic digestion where micr
Denna uppsats behandlar anställnings- och diskrimineringsskyddet för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning i en uppsägningssituation. Skydd för arbetstagare med funktionsnedsättning finns i såväl arbetsrätten som i diskrimineringsrätten. I LAS (Lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd) finns regler som begränsar en arbetsgivares möjlighet att säga upp sina arbetstagare. För att en uppsägning ska vara fThis thesis examines the employment protection and the protection against discrimination for a disabled person facing dismissal. Legal protection for disabled employees can be found both in labour law and in anti-discrimination law. The Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80) contains paragraphs that limit employer’s possibilities to dismiss his or her employees. A valid dismissal according to th
