I början av 2018 utbröt en debatt om kulturrådets utdelning av litteraturstöd i svenska dagstidningar. I samband med uttalanden från kulturminister Alice Bah Kuhnke menade vissa av bokmarknadens aktörer att litteraturstödet är utsatt för politisk styrning och att kvalitetskriteriet bortprioriteras. Uppsatsen undersöker de olika förväntningarna och föreställningarna som finns på litteraturstödet. J
The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book sets the standard for the most recent regulatory framework for minimum capital requirement within market risk. It will be implemented gradually up until 2019 and will overhaul a major part of the current regulation. More specifically it will cause financial institutions to estimate risk with Expected Shortfall instead of Value-at-Risk and add a new way of
I folkrättsligt hänseende är en stat endast skyldig att låta de egna medborgarna uppehålla sig på dess territorium. Ur ett EU-rättsligt perspektiv är dock varje medlemsstat förpliktad att tillämpa de regler som avser främja fri rörlighet för personer inom unionen. Dessa återfinns i EU:s primärrättsliga stadganden men konkretiseras genom sekundärrättsliga bestämmelser, framförallt genom direktiv 20With regard to international law, a state is only required to allow its citizens to reside within its own territory. However, from an EU law perspective, each Member State is obliged to apply regulations which intend to facilitate the free movement of persons within the EU. This is expressly laid down in the EU treaties, but must be viewed within the context of secondary law, in particular, the Ci
Tidigare forskning har visat att patienter inom vuxenpsykiatrisk vård utsätts för kränkningar av vårdpersonal, där dehumanisering och stigmatisering av psykisk sjukdom ses som bidragande faktorer. Denna studie ämnade undersöka om det fanns skillnader mellan anmälningar till Inspektionen för vård och omsorg (IVO) rörande kränkande bemötande jämfört med anmälningar rörande andra bemötandebrister, utPrevious research has shown that patients in adult psychiatric care are subject to abuse by healthcare staff, where dehumanization and stigmatization of mental illness are seen as contributing factors. This study aimed to investigate whether there were differences between reports to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO) concerning abusive treatment compared to reports concerning other trea
The European Union’s Sustainable Finance Agenda has launched several new actions in order to reorient capital flow of the financial market to sustainability objectives. One of these initiatives was to unify and harmonize the rules on marketing of sustainable aims of financial products. Financial Market Participant, including institutional investors, are obligated to disclose their due diligence po
This study aims to examine the challenges and practices of staff working at accommodations regulated by the Swedish Act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) when working with women with disabilities who have suffered from violence. Previous research shows that women with disabilities are at a greater risk of being victims of violence. Despite this kn
TRIM28 is a corepressor that mediates transcriptional silencing by establishing local heterochromatin. Here, we show that deletion of TRIM28 in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) results in high-level expression of two groups of endogenous retroviruses (ERVs): IAP1 and MMERVK10C. We find that NPCs use TRIM28-mediated histone modifications to dynamically regulate transcription and silencing of ERVs, wh
Cardiopulmonary diseases are major causes of death worldwide, but currently recommended strategies for diagnosis and prevention may be outdated because of recent changes in risk factor patterns. The Swedish CArdioPulmonarybioImage Study (SCAPIS) combines the use of new imaging technologies, advances in large-scale 'omics' and epidemiological analyses to extensively characterize a Swedish cohort of
The impact of cytogenetic findings in AML was analyzed in the large population-based Swedish AML registry. Karyotypic patterns differed by age: t(8;21), inv(16) and t(11q23) were more common in younger patients, whereas loss of 5q, 7q and 17p, monosomal karyotype (MK) and complex karyotype (CK) were more common in older patients. Patients with ≥5 chromosome abnormalities had worse overall survival
Hur gestaltades den diskursiva katolska manligheten i Skandinavien under konfessionalismens tidevarv? Och hur förhöll sig de katolska manlighetsidealen till de idéer om manlighet som framträdde inom nordisk folkkyrkokristendom vid samma tid? Dessa frågor har utgjort utgångspunkten för min undersökning om mansideal och manlighetskonstruktioner hos katolska präster, ordensmän och manliga konvertiter
The field of vertical nanowire array-based applications in cell biology is growing rapidly and an increasing number of applications are being explored. These applications almost invariably rely on the physical properties of the nanowire arrays, creating a need for a better understanding of how their physical properties affect cell behaviour. Here, we investigate the effects of nanowire density on
BackgroundThere is a need to develop and validate surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in subjects with diabetes. The macrovascular changes associated with diabetes include aggravated atherosclerosis, increased arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study was to determine which of these factors is most strongly associated with clinically manifest cardiovascula
The evolution of char porous structure can affect the gasification rate of biomass char. A model based on the classical capillary pores is developed taking into account different conversion rates for pores having different radii. The contribution of different pores with different radii is taken into account using an effectiveness factor presented for each pore radius. As the char conversion procee
Nanowires are increasingly used in biology, as sensors, as injection devices, and us model systems for toxicity studies. Currently, in situ visualization of nanowires in biological media is done using organic dyes, which a;:e prone to photobleaching, or using microscopy methods which either yield poor resolution or require a sophisticated setup. Here we show that inherently fluorescent nanowire ax
HER2 is a well-established prognostic and predictive factor in invasive breast cancer. The role of HER2 in ductal breast carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is debated and recent data have suggested that HER2 is mainly related to in situ recurrences. Our aim was to study HER2 as a prognostic factor in a large population based cohort of DCIS with long-term follow-up.
Abstract in Undetermined Background: Measured or modeled levels of outdoor air pollution are being used as proxies for individual exposure in a growing number of epidemiological studies. We studied the accuracy of such approaches, in comparison with measured individual levels, and also combined modeled levels for each subject's workplace with the levels at their residence to investigate the influe
Background. Sunlight exposure and fair skin are major determinants of human vitamin D production, but they are also risk factors for cutaneous malignant melanoma (MM). There is epidemiological evidence that all-cause mortality is related to low vitamin D levels. Methods. We assessed the avoidance of sun exposure as a risk factor for all-cause mortality for 29 518 Swedish women in a prospective 20-
Genetic predisposition for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is likely to be modified by environmental exposures. We tested if the associated risk of CVD and CVD-mortality by the single nucleotide polymorphism rs4977574 on chromosome 9p21 is modified by life-style factors.
