Globaliseringen har haft en stor inverkan på människors privata relationer. Den ökade migrationen har avsevärt ökat chanserna för att människor slår sig ner och startar familj utanför sina hemländer. Detta arbete visar att föräldrar från internationella familjer begår mer än hälften av alla olovliga internationella barnbortföranden eller kvarhållanden till/i sina hemstater. Övriga fall svarar de fGlobalisation has made its impact not the least on peoples’ private relations. The increased migration has made chances of people settling down and starting family outside their home countries rather high. The thesis has shown that parents from international families commit more than half of international parental abductions or retentions to/in their home states. The remaining group of parents sim

Abstract in UndeterminedEdge sealing is often used to assure one-dimensional moisture flow and a defined exposure area in moisture transport experiments. This paper deals with the performance of a number of edge sealing systems including wax-paraffin mix, epoxy adhesive, silicone and different tapes and films. The overall performance of the sealing systems includes vapor permeability and hygroscop

Swedish Red (SR) dairy cattle is the second most common breed in Sweden and hence SR milk quality is crucial for the nutritional value and the processability of the milk delivered to the Swedish dairies. This thesis will give an insight into the quality of milk from SR cows and it will illuminate the possibilities for improvements of both breeding programs and the quality of different dairy produc

The composition of the labour force is an important economic factor for a country. Often the changes in proportions of different groups are of interest. In this paper we study a monthly compositional time series from the Swedish Labour Force Survey from 1994 to 2005. Three models are studied: the ILR-transformed series, the ILR-transformation of the compositional differenced series of order 1, and

European researchers from both the natural and social sciences show growing interest in studying interactions between society and wildlife. A wealth of theoretical frameworks, concepts, and methods are used, but an integration of perspectives is lacking. This research note summarizes results from two orkshops that included 63 delegates from 25 European countries, as well as a follow-up survey of 4

The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) presents its 2016 Guidelines for Stem Cell Research and Clinical Translation (ISSCR, 2016). The 2016 guidelines reflect the revision and extension of two past sets of guidelines (ISSCR, 2006; ISSCR, 2008) to address new and emerging areas of stem cell discovery and application and evolving ethical, social, and policy challenges. These guidel

Dercum’s disease is a rare disease characterized by chronic pain (>3 months) in the adipose tissue, generalized overweight, and a number of associated symptoms. The pain is often disabling and resistant to traditional analgesics. Liposuction of Dercum’s disease was first described in 1987, and two prospective controlled studies have demonstrated that it can give pain relief and improve quality of

To maintain the quality of the feathers, birds regularly undergo moult. It is widely accepted that moult affects flight performance, but the specific aerodynamic consequences have received relatively little attention. Here we measured the components of aerodynamic drag from the wake behind a gliding jackdaw (Corvus monedula) at different stages of its natural wing moult. We found that span efficie

A short peripheral intravenous catheter or cannula (PIVC) is frequently used to deliver chemotherapy in oncology practice. Although safe and easy to insert, PIVCs do fail, leading to personal discomfort for patients and adding substantially to treatment costs. As the procedure of peripheral catheterization is invasive, there is a need for greater consistency in the choice, insertion and management
