This thesis examines the relationship between international law protecting refugees and national legislation in Sweden and in the UK. International protection is afforded by the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. But also general international human rights instruments are relevant. These include the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Civil

Abstract. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the meteorological conditions and atmospheric flow during the Lagrangian-type "Hill Cap Cloud Thuringia 2010" experiment (HCCT-2010), which was performed in September and October 2010 at Mt. Schmücke in the Thuringian Forest, Germany and which used observations at three measurement sites (upwind, in-cloud, and downwind) to study physical

Popular Abstract in Swedish Spårbarhet av livsmedel för att garantera ursprung, kvalitet och säkerhet i samband med produktion och transport har blivit alltmer uppmärksammat i samhället. Kraven på att livsmedel skall vara kvalitetsmässigt säkerställda samt miljömässigt hållbara har vuxit sig starkare från konsumenter såväl som från myndigheter. En bidragande orsak är den ökade fokuseringen kring bFood traceability is gaining increased attention in food companies and governmental authorities. This is because of the increase in legal and consumer requirements on ensuring food safety, quality and preservation of living resources. These requirements especially apply to the management of food traceability in regulated fresh food supply chains. Several studies have shown that management of food

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Män, våld och moralarbete uppmärksammas hur män, som frivilligt sökt sig till verksamheter där det erbjuds behandling för våld i nära relationer, rapporterar om sina erfarenheter. Rapporteringarna består dels av svar på frågeformulär, dels genom deltagande i samtalsintervjuer. Författaren analyserar hur männen förklarar sina handlingar och gestaltar återberättade erfaMen, violence and moral work- Reports from help-seeking men at treatment centers working with violence in close relationships Men’s violence against women is an extensive social problem. In the 1970s, a new kind of centers were established in the US and UK, focusing on treating men who had been violent against their wives or girlfriends, the aim which is to end the men’s violent behavior. In the

Meta Isæus-Berlin at Skissernas museum Many visitors will surely remember Ett vattenhem (A Water Home), five strikingly ambiguous furnished rooms set out on a low podium in the middle of the main walkway at the Bo01 Housing Fair in Malmö in 2001. The Hall and the Bathroom, at opposite ends of the long and narrow, windowless pavilion, were open to the world and visible from outside. The Bathroom

Background: Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy, a novel tissue-preserving treatment for low-risk prostate cancer, has shown favourable safety and efficacy results in single-arm phase 1 and 2 studies. We compared this treatment with the standard of care, active surveillance, in men with low-risk prostate cancer in a phase 3 trial. Methods: This randomised controlled trial was done in 47 Europea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Elektromagnetiska fält finns idag överallt och är en förutsättning för att det moderna samhället ska fungera. Utan att fundera närmare på det, använder vi oss ständigt av de elektromagnetiska fältens förmåga att trådlöst överföra information och energi. Några exempel är; uppvärmning av mat i mikron och på induktionshällen, samtal i mobiltelefonen, uppdatering av status In this thesis, an inverse source reconstruction method with great potential in radome diagnostics is presented. A radome is a cover that encloses an antenna in order to protect it from environmental influences. Radome diagnostics are acquired in the design process, the delivery control, and in performance verification of repaired and newly developed radomes. A measured near or far field may indic

Three-dimensional (3-D) delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) helps quantify biochemical changes in articular cartilage that correlate with early-stage osteoarthritis. However, dGEMRIC analysis is performed slice by slice, limiting the potential of 3-D data to give an overall impression of cartilage biochemistry. We previously developed a computational algorithm to produce unfolde

Alzheimers sjukdom är idag den vanligaste neurodegenerativa sjukdomen i världen. Det klassas som en ålderssjukdom, och med en ökande medelålder i befolkningen, ökar således risken för fler att drabbas. Sjuk- domen orsakar en förtunning av hjärnvävnad och presenterar sig med symptom så som minnesstörningar som gradvis blir värre. Symptomen av Alzheimers sjukdom kan däremot uppkomma så sent som flerIntroduction and aim The changes in the brain caused by Alzheimer’s disease usually begin many years before the first symptoms arise. The effect of the neurodegenerative disease involves both morphological and microstructural changes in the brain, due to neurons dying. These changes in the microstructure can be measured with diffusion MRI. The resolution however limits the accuracy of the imaging,

Popular Abstract in Icelandic SUMMARY IN ICELANDIC Samantekt á íslensku Hlutfall eldra fólks í Evrópu sem og annars staðar í heiminum hefur aukist og þá sérstaklega þeirra sem eru 80 ára og eldri. Vegna hrumleika og langvinnra sjúkdóma er líklegt að þessi aldurshópur þarfnist aðstoðar frá hinu opinbera, m. a. vistunar á hjúkrunarheimilum. Því má ætla að á komandi árum muni hjúkrunarheimilin standThe overall aim of this thesis was to investigate trends over time in residents’ health status, functional profile and predictors of mortality at admission to Icelandic nursing homes and in addition to determine upper and lower thresholds for Minimum Data Set (MDS) Quality Indicators, to investigate the prevalence of quality indicators over time and their association with the health status and fun

When the Swedish construction code (in 1994) allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, and also because wood is a plentiful resource in Sweden. Drawbacks in such buildings are disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through junctions. In lightweight constr

Ungdomar befinner sig i en utsatt position på den europeiska arbetsmarknaden. De saknar av naturliga skäl ofta den kompetens och arbetslivserfarenhet som efterfrågas av arbetsgivaren, samtidigt som ungdomars anställningar – när de väl erhåller en – tenderar att vara mer otrygga än vad som är fallet för andra kategorier av arbetstagare. Finanskrisen år 2008 har i flera avseenden inneburit en förvärYoung workers are facing challenging times in the European labour market. Naturally, young workers often lack the skills and work experience required by employers, but to make matters worse, when young workers do find employment, it tends to be less stable compared to the older generation of more established workers. The 2008 financial crisis, which negative impact is still being felt in Europe as

Mineral evolution is concerned with the timing of mineral occurrences, such as the earliest reported occurrences in the geologic record. Minerals containing essential Li have not been reported from rocks older than ca. 3000 Ma, thus the lithian tourmaline (fluor-elbaite) and mica (lepidolite) assemblage from a pegmatite near Zishineni associated with the ca. 3000 Ma Sinceni Pluton presents unusual

Main recommendations: Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is the standard of care for the complete removal of large (≥ 10mm) nonpedunculated colorectal polyps (LNPCPs). Increased detection of LNPCPs owing to screening colonoscopy, plus high observed rates of incomplete resection and need for surgery call for a standardized approach to training in EMR. 1 Trainees in EMR should have achieved basic co

OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the ultrasound features of various endometrial and other intracavitary pathologies in women without abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) using the International Endometrial Tumor Analysis (IETA) terminology. The secondary aim was to compare our findings with published data on women with AUB. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study of

Modesty as a Condition for Circular Economy Transition SuccessThe Promise and Challenges of a Circular Economy TransitionThe circular economy offers much promise. Circularity is meant to be a pathway to material efficiency, energy transitions, green jobs, profitable business opportunities, reduced volatility in price of inputs, secured supplies of critical materials, increased customer experiences

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between the degree of food processing in our diet and the risk of various chronic diseases. Much of this evidence is based on the international Nova classification system, which classifies food into four groups based on the type of processing: (1) Unprocessed and minimally processed foods, (2) Processed culinary ingredients, (3)

In blood, the oxygen-transporting protein hemoglobin (Hb) governs the oxygenation of cells and tissues. Naturally, this protein has claimed a place in the center of the research field of artificial oxygen therapeutics. Such Hb-based products have used cell-free Hb purified from human, bovine, invertebrate, or recombinant sources to create hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs). However, administ
