The now Swedish province of Scania has had a long history of violence and unrest, with several wars being fought on Scanian soil. Such tumultuous times must have impacted the common people and their living conditions, yet bioarchaeological research is lacking for post-medieval Scania and much of Sweden. By analysing a skeletal material from a 16-18th century semi-urban cemetery in Ängelholm, for w

Beslutsfattarstilar mättes i enlighet med formuläret General Decision Making Styles – GDMS, stress enligt Perceived Stress Questionnaire – PSQ, risk för utbrändhet enligt Performance Based Self-esteem – PBS, sömn enligtThe study investigated relations between decision making styles, stress, risk of burnout, sleep and gender roles among police students at a Swedish university (n = 98). Decision making styles were measured in accordance with the General Decision Making Styles form – GDMS, stress in accordance with the Perceived Stress Questionnaire – PSQ, risk of burnout in accordance with the Performance Based Se
Clean water is an essentiality from both an individual and societal perspective. Legal actions enable the enforcement of the protection that the drinking water resource needs to protect the current but also the future supply of clean and sustainable water. Establishing water protection areas (WPA) is today the legal action that Swedish municipalities or county administration boards have at their d
Syftet med uppsatsen är att klarlägga hur det allmänna skyndsamhetskravet i 9 § första stycket FL ska tolkas vid IVO:s handläggning av enskildas klagomål på hälso- och sjukvården. Centralt för uppsatsen är spänningen mellan klagomålsärendenas förvaltningsrättsliga form, som medför krav på bland annat skyndsam handläggning med hänsyn till den enskildes intressen, och klagomålsfunktionens syfte inomThe purpose of this thesis is to clarify how the general requirement of prompt handling in the Swedish Administrative Procedure Act (förvaltningslagen) should be interpreted in relation to IVO’s handling of individual complaints regarding health care. Central to the thesis is the tension between the administrative law character of complaint cases, which entails requirements such as prompt handling
Abstract Title: Social services department’s modern centaurs – about social worker's dual role in cases of suspected crimes contribution Authors: Branislav Ros; Carl-Johan Martinsson Tutor: Lena Palvén Examiner: Elizabeth Martinell Barfoed The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers, in the social services department of economical aid, experience their dual role as helper
This thesis is located at the intersection of two concepts: accountability in and communication for development. Two review chapters provide an overview of their general reception in the development discourse, relevant definitions and the significance both concepts have gained for the work of development NGOs. Within each concept the thesis focuses on a particular aspect: downward accountability a
ABSTRACT. This study investigated a possible trade‐off between bark beetle reproductive effort and future survival. Parent adult Ips typographus (L.) (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) were collected when they re‐emerged from a laboratory culture after completing their first brood and held at constant temperatures of 4 or 25oC. As a comparison, emerging brood adults were collected and held at 25oC. The lon
Introduction: There is little information on the late stages of parkinsonism. Methods: We conducted a multicentre study in 692 patients with late stage parkinsonism in six European countries. Inclusion criteria were disease duration of ≥7 years and either Hoehn and Yahr stage ≥4 or Schwab and England score of 50 or less. Results: Average disease duration was 15.4 (SD 7.7) years and mean total UPDR
CONTEXT: Whether multisystem morbidity in Cushing's disease (CD) remains elevated during long-term remission is still undetermined. OBJECTIVE: To investigate comorbidities in patients with CD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: A retrospective, nationwide study of patients with CD identified in the Swedish National Patient Register between 1987 and 2013. Individual medical records were reviewed to ver
Background Declines from high levels of under-5 mortality rate (U5MR) first occurred in Western Europe. Knowledge and technologies gained from early mortality reductions could accelerate the U5MR decline for countries that followed. We explored whether average annual reduction (AAR) in U5MR increased between countries over time in the 20th century.Methods We used U5MR time series from the Human Mo
Objectives: Implantable cardiac devices are common in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) (18.3–21.3%) according to previous reports from large centres. We conducted this study to investigate the prevalence and incidence of cardiac devices in a less selected population of patients with ToF and assess factors other than arrhythmia associated with having a device. Design: 530 adult (≥18 years) p
Natural radioactivity in the environment is a field gaining more attention in last decades. This work is focused on the study of natural radioactivity complemented with elementary characterization at former non-uraniferous mining areas in Sweden. This aim is addressed through the study of mining lakes, called pit lakes, which are water bodies generated after opencast mining. Environmental matrices
Stomatopod crustaceans have the most complex assemblage of visual receptor classes known; retinas of many species are thought to express up to 16 different visual pigments. Physiological studies indicate that stomatopods contain up to six distinct middle-wavelength-sensitive (MWS) photoreceptor classes, suggesting that no more than six different MWS opsin gene copies exist per species. However, we
A T-cell permissive tumor microenvironment, characterized by the presence of activated T cells and low fibrotic activity is crucial for response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Granzyme B has been shown to promote T-cell migration through the basement membrane by the degradation of type IV collagen. In this study, we evaluated the biomarker potential of measuring granzyme B-mediated degrad
INTRODUCTION: Variants in collagen-related genes COL1A1, COL3A1, COL5A1 andCOL5A2 are associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a heterogeneous groupof connective tissue disorders strongly associated with increased bleeding. Of patientswith incompletely explained bleeding diathesis, a relatively high proportion were shown to harbour at least one heterozygous variant of unknown significance (VU
Det övergripande syftet i denna studie är attjämföra och analysera skillnader och likheter mellan att leda i kommunal och icke-kommunal regi för rektorer i gymnasieskolan och enhetschefer för äldreboenden. Ambitionen ärockså att beskriva hur kraven fördessa två chefskategorier har förändratssedanbörjan av 1990-talet samt vad i omvärlden som för närvarande påverkar deras
The most accepted taxonomic treatment of the New World sulphurs of the genus Phoebis Hübner, [1819] recognizes 16 species including those in the current synonyms Aphrissa and Rhabdodryas. This total conflicts with the results of several recent pierid DNA barcode studies across the Neotropics. We used a five-locus dataset to carry out species delimitation analyses using the coalescence-based method
To clarify whether metabolic control and β‐cell function deteriorate with increasing duration of diabetes, we investigated in a cross‐sectional study Type 2 diabetic patients in an area‐based population. Type 2 diabetic patients (n = 231: 112 males, 119 females) were identified by age at onset > 35 years, fasting levels of C‐peptide > 0.04 nmol l−1, and absence of islet cell antibodies. Body weigh
