Den statligt tillsatta Vanvårdsutredningen konstaterade år 2010 att det under en stor del av 1900-talet förekommit många fall av allvarliga försummelser och övergrepp vid institutioner och familjehem inom den sociala barnavården. Med anledning av vad hade som presenterats tillsatte regeringen därefter Upprättelseutredningen med uppdrag att närmare utreda möjligheterna till upprättelse för de barn In 2010, a commission, appointed by the Swedish government, found that serious neglect and abuse had been occurring within the public childcare system during the 20th century. As a result of these findings, a second commission was mandated to inquire the possibilities for restitution for all children who had experienced neglect or abuse between 1920 and 1980. The commission suggested that an econo

Arbitration is generally viewed as a form of dispute resolution more or less removed from the control of states. Such a view is based on the notion that this form of dispute resolution rests upon an agreement between parties. Without questioning the notion of arbitration as resting upon an arbitration agreement, it can be argued that there also is significant state involvement. Such involvement in

No one wants to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. No one wants to be accused of having committed a crime one hasn't committed. No one wants to be innocently convicted. According to the presumption of innocence (article 6.2. in ECHR) everyone who has been charged with a criminal offence shall be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law. It is important that the judge rememb

År 2017 trädde förvaltningslagen (2017:900) i kraft. Den är avsedd att stärka den enskildes rättsskydd i kontakterna med myndigheterna. I 41 § FL regleras att ”Ett beslut får överklagas om beslutet kan antas påverka någons situation på ett inte obetydligt sätt”. Bestämmelsen utgör en kodifikation av den praxis som utvecklats av Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen i fråga om vilka beslut som får överklagaIn 2017, the Administrative Procedure Act (2017:900) entered into force. It is intended to strengthen the judicial protection of the individual against the authorities. Section 41 § of the Administrative Procedure Act states that ”A decision may be appealed if the decision can be assumed to affect someone's situation in a not insignificant manner". This provision can be seen as a codifica

Barnkonventionen fick i januari 2020 status av lag i den svenska rätten eftersom lagstiftaren inte anser att den tidigare fått tillräckligt genomslag i tillämpningen. Barn har sedan länge behandlats som skilda från och underordnade vuxna. Barns underordning är antagligen den minst ifrågasatta maktordningen i samhället. Barn behandlas ofta som mindre vetande och deras inflytande begränsas regelmässIn January 2020, the Convention on the Rights of the Child was given the status of law in Sweden because the legislator was dissatisfied with the impact it had when applied as an international instrument. For a long time, children have been treated as separate from an inferior to adults. Children´s subordination is probably the least contested power structure in society. Children are often treated

The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze debates around and changes in knowledge production and medical practices of childbirth between 1960 and 1985 in Sweden. The roles of the different actors involved, such as physicians, midwives, the National Board of Health and Welfare, the women’s movement and politicians are studied in four main contexts: medical practice and debate, the Swedish Parli

Den 17 november 2021 röstade Sveriges riksdag igenom regeringens förslag om en ny lag som innebär slopandet av straffrabatt för unga myndiga lagöverträdare vid allvarlig brottslighet. Vidare innebär förslaget att samma straff ska kunna utdömas till 18–20 åringar som till andra myndiga lagöverträdare, däribland fängelse på livstid. Unga myndiga har särbehandlats i svensk rätt i närmare 60 år, men uOn November 17, 2021, the Swedish Riksdag voted in favor of the governments’ proposal for a new law that abolishes the penalty rebate for young adult offenders who committed serious crimes. Furthermore, the law entails that the same punishment can be sentenced to 18–20 years as to other adult offenders, including life imprisonment. Young adult offenders have been treated differently than other adu

Popular summary The fate of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs The knowledge about distribution of drugs between sewage sludge, water phases and water living organisms is vital for predictions of the fate and transport routes of toxic substances to the environment. And the distribution of drugs in the environment can be used as a base for risk assessments and it also can be used to define desir

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth

Background: In previous meta-analyses, tea consumption has been associated with lower incidence of type 2 diabetes. It is unclear, however, if tea is associated inversely over the entire range of intake. Therefore, we investigated the association between tea consumption and incidence of type 2 diabetes in a European population. Methodology/Principal Findings: The EPIC-InterAct case-cohort study wa

Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is recognised as a clinically and morphologically heterogeneous group of interrelated neurodegenerative conditions. One of the subtypes within this disease spectrum is the behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD). This is known to be a varied disorder with a mixture of tau-positive and tau-negative underlying pathologies. The other subtypes include semantic dementi

BACKGROUND: The incidence of distal radius fracture has increased substantially during the last 50 years according to several studies that estimated the overall incidence in various general populations. The incidence of fracture classified according to severity has not been well documented. The aim of this population-based study was to estimate the overall and type-specific incidence rates of dist

Objective The complex genetic aetiology underlying irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) needs to be assessed in large-scale genetic studies. Two independent IBS cohorts were genotyped to assess whether genetic variability in immune, neuronal and barrier integrity genes is associated with IBS. Design 384 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering 270 genes were genotyped in an exploratory cohort (93

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the visibility of simulated lesions in 2D digital mammography (DM) and breast tomosynthesis (BT) images of patients. Methods: Images of the same women were acquired on both a DM system (Mammomat Novation, Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) and a BT prototype system adapted from the same type of DM system. Using the geometrical properties of the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Variabilitet i ett läkemedels farmakokinetiska (hur ett läkemedel omsätts i kroppen) och farmakodynamiska (vilken effekt ett läkemedel har) egenskaper kan resultera i att olika individer som erhållit samma dos av ett läkemedel får olika effekter av läkemedel. Biverkningar eller utebliven effekt kan innebära allvarliga konsekvenser för den enskilda individen. VariabiliteVariability in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters between individuals can be due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors. In this thesis three different areas regarding sources of variability have been investigated. 1. Formulation properties as an extrinsic source of variability. Lipophilic substances often have poor oral bioavailability and high inter- and intraindividual variability. High

Several studies on pregnancy-Associated cancers have suggested an association with congenital anomalies in offspring. Previous studies have included maternal cancers diagnosed up to 2 years after pregnancy; however, long latency periods of some cancers mean that cancers diagnosed many years postpartum might have been present during pregnancy in a preclinical state. This paper considers the associa

It is well established that high ambient heat could cause congenital abnormalities resulting in miscarriage or stillbirth among certain species of mammals. However, this has not been systematically studied in real field settings among humans, despite the potential value of such knowledge for estimating the impact of global warming on the human species. This study sought to test the hypothesis that

Aims/hypothesis: During the A/H1N1 2009 (A/California/04/2009) pandemic, mass vaccination with a squalene-containing vaccine, Pandemrix®, was performed in Sweden and Finland. The vaccination was found to cause narcolepsy in children and young adults with the HLA-DQ 6.2 haplotype. The aim of this study was to investigate if exposure to Pandemrix® similarly increased the risk of islet autoimmunity o

Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
