The legal paradox. Which factors are decisive in honour-related cases for compulsory care of young persons? Previous studies have shown that honour-related violence and oppression has grown to become a major problem in Sweden. The municipal social service is obliged to help and support all people who become victims of violence. Yet, several municipalities in Sweden have been criticized for their

Gängkriminalitet har ökat det senaste årtiondet i både Danmark och Sverige. Trots de i princip identiska problemen har Danmark, men inte Sverige infört extraordinärt hårda regler mot personer vilka är verksamma inom ett kriminellt nätverk. Syftet för denna framställning är (1) dels att beskriva lagstiftningen/förslag beträffande gängkriminalitet i respektive land, (2) dels undersöka vilka skäl resSummary Gang-related crime has increased the last decade in both Denmark and Sweden. Despite similar problems with organized crimes, the two countries have applied different approaches. Denmark has to a higher extent introduced extraordinarily strict rules against people who are active in an organized criminal gang. The purpose of this study is (1) to describe the legislation/proposals regarding g

Background: PhiC31 integrase facilitates efficient integration of transgenes into human and mouse genomes and is considered for clinical gene therapy. However recent studies have shown that the enzyme can induce various chromosomal abnormalities in primary human embryonic cells and mammalian cell lines. The mechanisms involved are unknown, but it has been proposed that PhiC31 attachment sites in t

Background: Several anticancer agents including paclitaxel have an inhibitory effect on angiogenesis. Aims: To compare the overall response rate and time to progression with changes in circulating angiogenic factors during palliative treatment with weekly paclitaxel. Material and methods: Patients with metastatic BC, ECOG 0-2, received weekly paclitaxel, concomitant with trastuzumab if HER2+ BC (n

One third of the patients with estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha)-positive breast cancer who are treated with the antiestrogen tamoxifen will either not respond to initial therapy or will develop drug resistance. Endocrine response involves crosstalk between ER alpha and TGF beta signaling, such that tamoxifen non-responsiveness or resistance in breast cancer might involve aberrant TGF beta signal

Objective. Our aim was to investigate the protective effects of a Lipoxin A(4) analogue (LXA(4)) in the early phase of acute pancreatitis in rats. Materials and methods. Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was induced by injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. Rats with SAP were treated with LXA(4) (0.1 mg/kg), 10 min after the 5% sodium taurocholate injection, after which LXA(4)

Oncogenetic events and unique phenomena of the tumor microenvironment together induce adaptive metabolic responses that may offer new diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets of cancer. Hypoxia, or low oxygen tension, represents a well-established and universal feature of the tumor microenvironment and has been linked to increased tumor aggressiveness as well as resistance to conventional oncologi

Heteroclitic monoclonal antibodies are characterized by the ability to bind multiple epitopes with little or no similarity. Such antibodies have been reported earlier, but insight into to the molecular basis of this propensity is limited. Here we report that the KIM185 antibody to human CD18 reacts with the plasma protein C4b-binding protein (C4BP). This was revealed during affinity purification p

The common way in which algal virus-host systems are discovered is when an algal culture collapses due to the virus-induced lysis. Therefore, the presence of a viral infection in a seemingly healthy culture of Chlamydomonas sp. is an oddity. This study describes such an infection in an algal sample from Örsjön, a lake in southern Sweden, sustained in culture for over six years with no observed adv

This study aimed to examine second-generation immigrant women and their experiences of integration in Swedish society. Furthermore, the study explores what consequences and difficulties they experience in this endeavour. This study is conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven young women between the ages of 18-25 who have at least one foreign-born parent. In our theoretic

This research addresses human error and the process standard EN 50126 Railway Applications - The Specification and Demonstration of Reliability, Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS). In Norway, it is required by The Railway Infrastructure Regulations to use the standard for new construction or changes to subsystems in the infrastructure. The standard is a harmonized standard which mean

På senare tid har regeringen genomfört kriminalpolitiska reformer i syfte att bekämpa den grova och organiserade brottsligheten. Flera av lagförslagen har kritiserats av bland annat utredningsväsendet vars syfte är att säkerställa rättsväsendets kvalité och kvalitetssäkra nya lagförslag. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge läsaren en fördjupad förståelse för utredningsväsendets funktion och undersöka Recently, the Swedish Government has prepared and implemented criminal policy reforms aimed at combating serious and organized crime. Several of the legislative proposals have been criticized by the investigative system, whose purpose is to ensure the quality of the judicial system and quality assurance of new legislative proposals. The purpose of the essay is to give the reader a deeper understa

Backup heating for passive houses. This paper consists of information and calculations considering the possibility for the passive houses in Björka 16:1 in north Helsingborg to be heated by district heating, heat pump or an electric boiler. This paper can be used as an inspiration for future projects considering passive houses, as the market for such houses is tiny in Sweden today. Helsingborgshem

The aim of this study is to understand how individuals construct their workplace at home, while they work from home digitally during the corona pandemic. The method through which the study has been conducted in order to achieve its aim is qualitative interviews. These were constructed to be held in the digital format of a digital communication software. The same format in which all e-workers have

Title: Are young nicotine addicts our future loyal customers? A qualitative study about marketing and increased consumption of white snus.

The thermal performance curve (TPC) of an organism captures how population growth depends on temperature. When populations experience increased temperatures, such as during global climate change, one prediction is that their TPC can evolve to accommodate the new environmental temperature. Although studies on TPC evolution have mostly focused on modifications in population growth rates, TPC evoluti

Although many efforts have been made to eliminate barriers in public transport worldwide, research shows that public transport is still often perceived as challenging, inconvenient, and inaccessible for many people with disabilities. A growing body of research points to several issues, relating to the spatial and temporal distribution of public transport, affordability, safety, and social barriers

Aims: Social science literature suggests that unlimited trust in others may lead to adverse outcomes, and that moderate trust may be more optimal in social interactions. The aim was to analyze associations between generalized trust in other people and all-cause mortality using a four-alternative generalized trust item that includes moderate trust. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: T
