Popular Abstract in Swedish Benskörhet (osteoporos) är ett tillstånd som definieras av låg benmassa och ökar med stigande ålder. Osteoporos är idag en av de stora folksjukdomarna och man räknar med att en tiondel av alla män och en fjärdedel av alla kvinnor i Sverige drabbas. Tillståndet är i sig symptomfritt men ökar risken att råka ut för ett benbrott (fraktur) redan vid lättare fall. Frakturer The aim of this thesis was to evaluate risk factors for bone fragility and fractures in postmenopausal women in a long-term perspective. The study period spanned from the age of 48 to age 82 and is thus unique in its length. The studied sample was homogeneous and consisted of 390 north European women from a population-based cohort.

In recent years the liberal representative democracy has been subject of a substantial critique because of its inability to accommodate difference and create a genuinely democratic political process.

In order to achieve thi

In Norway and Denmark this collaboration broke a few years ago and so I made an account of various factors that may have contributed to this break in Norway and Denmark, which I then compa

Enligt svensk rätt har den misstänkte inte någon möjlighet att bli betraktad som slutligt avförd eller friad från en brottsmisstanke innan åklagaren har väckt åtal. Till dess är brottmålsprocessen i princip helt inkvisitorisk, vilket ställer höga krav på rättssäkerheten. Avsikten med uppsatsen är att genom rättsdogmatisk metod granska de rättsliga medel som åklagaren har till sitt förfogande för aA suspect has no opportunity by Swedish law to be considered as finally crossed out or acquitted from a suspicion of crime before prosecution. Until prosecution the proceedings are in essence totally inquisitorial, which requires high legal security. This thesis aims to, by a legal dogmatic method, examine the prosecutor’s legal instruments of terminating an investigation. Furthermore, these legal

The relationship between local labour market conditions and regional migration has been widely discussed within research. In Sweden, where interregional migration reached a peak in the 1960s but decreased substantially in the 1970s, the role of economic policy has been especially contended in light of the Swedish model and its official stress on regional mobility. By collecting and creating a new

Radix Polygalae (the root of Polygala tenuifolia) is a herb widely used in traditional Asian medicine that is thought to exert a variety of neuropsychiatric effects. Radix Polygalae extract can protect against N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) neurotoxicity and induce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression, suggesting modulatory roles at glutamatergic synapses and possible antidepressant ac

Open science and collaboration are necessary to facilitate the advancement of Parkinson’s disease (PD) research. Hackathons are collaborative events that bring together people with different skill sets and backgrounds to generate resources and creative solutions to problems.

We evaluated the association between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time during surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and mid-term survival. Data of 1122 patients who underwent surgery for ATAAD in eight Nordic centers from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.
