Background: The need for a mobile workforce inevitably means that the length of the total work day (working and traveling time) will increase, but the health effects of commuting have been surprisingly little studied apart from perceived stress and the benefits of physically active commuting. Methods: We used data from two cross-sectional population-based public health surveys performed in 2004 an

Arsenic is a very potent toxicant. One major susceptibility factor for arsenic-related toxicity is the efficiency of arsenic metabolism. The efficiency, in turn, is associated with non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the arsenic methyltransferase AS3MT on chromosome 10q24. However, the mechanism of action for these SNPs is not yet clarified. Here, we assessed the influence of gene

CONTEXT: The prevalence of obesity among adolescents has increased and we lack effective treatments. OBJECTIVE: To determine if gastric bypass is safe and effective for an unselected cohort of adolescents with morbid obesity in specialized health care. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS: Intervention study for 81 adolescents (13-18 years) with a body mass index (BMI) range 36-69 kg m(-2) undergoing lapa

Popular Abstract in Swedish Prioriteringar av olika slag har alltid genomförts inom hälso- och sjukvård, vilket har inneburit att vissa verksamheter och patienter har prioriterats och andra har valts bort. Tidigare studier som har varit fokuserade på allmänhetens syn på vem eller vilka som ska prioriteras, har framförallt varit riktade till yngre och medelålders personer. I dessa studier framkomme

The acoustic emission that is detectable in the forming of complex thin part plates contains information about the quality of the pressed plates. The information can be used as process control and to filter out advanced thin plates with defects such as cracks. The article describes the results obtained in a try-out pressing process in special developed punch-die pairs with different pressing

Knowledge remains limited on how the structure of microbial community in paddy soils changes in relation to different types of fertilizers with same amount of nutrients. Thus, here, soil samples were collected at 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, and 30–40 cm depths from a paddy field subjected to four long-term fertilization treatments (no fertilization, mineral fertilization, mineral fertilization combined wi

Prophylaxis is defined as the regular administration of clotting factor concentrates to prevent bleeding. Extensive data from observational studies and a recent randomized controlled trial (have established that early prophylactic treatment prevents bleeds and arthropathy in boys with severe haemophilia. The initiation of prophylaxis in young children remains challenging. To prevent arthropathy, p

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) used in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) are dose-reduced in elderly and patients with impaired renal function. Only reduced dose dabigatran is concluded as having similar stroke risk reduction and lower risk of major bleeding than warfarin in the pivotal studies. In clinical practice, reduced dose is prescribed more often than expected making this an impor

Para Alpine skiing is one of the largest sports at the Paralympic Winter Games. Recent studies report high injury rates in this sport. However, limited evidence exists regarding sport-specific injury characteristics, which is essential for targeted prevention. The aim of this study was to describe the overall incidence proportion and incidence of injuries reported by athletes participating in Alpi

Eco-roofs are becoming popular for aesthetic reasons and also as units of stormwater systems. It is thought that such roofs with soil cover and vegetation reduces the total runoff, the peak flows and improves the quality of the roof water. Here are reported investigations of runoff from thin, 3-4 cm soil, extensive green roofs with sedum-moss in southern Sweden. The two-year study was performed on

Background: Septic arthritis (SA) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a rare yet severe complication. The samples in previous studies have been small and without nationwide coverage, making analysis uncertain with a risk of bias. Conclusions to recommend preventive measures are therefore difficult to draw, and it has not been possible to perform a comprehensive risk factor an

Background: Opioid substitution treatment (OST) populations are aging and have increased mortality and somatic morbidity compared to general populations internationally. While OST patients have poor self-rated physical health and unmet healthcare needs, documented healthcare utilization has been sparsely investigated. The aim of this study was to assess registered healthcare utilization for somati

För många människor är förmodligen fastighetsköpet en av de största affärerna de någonsin kommer att genomföra och det är således viktigt att det blir som de tänkt sig. Det är inte alls säkert att en presumtiv köpare kalkylerat för eventuella brister i fastigheten i sin budget och upptäcks då ett fel efter köpet kan köparen hamna i en mycket komplicerad situation. Vid varje fastighetsaffär finnsFor a lot of people, the real property purchase is probably one of the most important business deals they will ever do and therefore it is important that the property will be as they have expected. It´s not certain that the purchaser has calculated in his budget for defects in the property. If the purchaser later discovers a defect in the property, he may end up in a very complicated situation. I

Det svenska straffrättsliga systemet bygger på att endast fysiska personer kan begå brott och straffas för dessa. För näringsidkare, såväl fysiska som juridiska personer, har det istället införts särskilda sanktioner såsom företagsbot. Någon särskild reglering av företagsbotsprocessen och näringsidkarens processuella rättigheter vid en talan om företagsbot har däremot inte införts. Samtidigt uppstThe Swedish criminal justice system is based on the fact that only physical persons can commit crimes and be punished for them. For traders, both physical and legal persons, special sanctions such as a corporate fine have been introduced. However, no special regulations of neither the corporate fine procedure nor the procedural rights for traders, when pursuing criminal charges of a corporate fine

Enligt svensk rätt omfattas även poliser i tjänst av nödvärnsrätten (24 kap. 1 § brottsbalken), vilket gör att den kan åberopas i de fall där ett polis- ingripande slutat i skottlossning. Vid försvarlighetsbedömningen ska poliser och enskilda utövare av nödvärn granskas enligt samma principer, eftersom polisen rent straffrättsligt ska betraktas som privatperson. Det rättsliga utgångsläget är dock According to Swedish law, police officers and citizens alike have the right to self–defence (Swedish penal code, sec. 24 para. 1). This allows police officers to invoke the justification rule after shooting an attacker during an arrest. When judged, general principles of criminal law are applicable to police officers, and they are supposed to be judged as individuals. This dogmatic essay examines

Rätten att få använda straffprocessuella tvångsmedel är viktig och nödvändig för de brottsutredande myndigheterna för att uppnå så effektiv brottsbekämpning som möjligt. Exempel på typiska straffprocessuella tvångsmedel är häktning, anhållande samt husrannsakan, alla innebär en integritetskränkning för den som utsätts för de. När det gäller hemliga tvångsmedel är de att anse som mer integritetskräThe right to use pre-trial coercive measures is important and necessary for the investigating authorities in the objective of achieving the most effective law enforcement possible. Examples of typical criminal coercive measures are detention, arrest and raids, all of which violate the privacy of the victim. Examples of secret coercive measures are secret telemonitoring and secret telephone tapping

Häktning beskrivs ofta som det mest ingripande tvångsmedlet inom den svenska strafflagstiftningen. Att frihetsberöva en människa bör därför göras med stor omsorg, i synnerhet när den misstänkte är under 18 år. Unga lagöverträdare tillerkänns en särbehandling som gör sig märkbar redan vid inledningsstadiet av ett brott. I takt med en allt mer grov och organiserad brottslig-het blir häktning ett effDetention is often described as the most intrusive coercive measure within the Swedish criminal legislation. Therefore, the deprivation of liberty should be carried out with great care, especially when the suspect is under 18 years of age. Young offenders are treated differently, which becomes apparent already at the initial stage of an offense. As crimes become increasingly more serious and organ

Familjeåterförening är en viktig princip inom både svensk och internationell rätt. I svensk rätt regleras denna princip i utlänningslagen där en möjlighet till uppehållstillstånd på grund av anknytning ges. Vissa bevisrättsliga frågor måste dock uppfyllas för att uppehållstillstånd ska kunna ges. I denna framställning behandlas bevisning angående ställföreträdarskap för barn som söker uppehållstilFamily reunification is an important principle in both Swedish and international law. In Swedish law this principle is coded into the Aliens Act making it possible to get residence permit on the grounds of ties to Sweden. In order to get a residency permit there are a couple of things you have to prove, for example your identity and the existence of a relation to a person in Sweden. If you are und
