The subject of this graduate thesis (The right to abortion under the European Convention of Human Rights) is wheather the right to abortion can be considered as a human right under the European Convention on Human Rights. Focus is on the right to abortion as a woman's right. The issue of abortion in view of the Convention raises both material and procedural questions. In addition to that is th
Under de senaste decennierna har det blivit allt tydligare att den omfattande användningen av fossila bränslen är dåligt för miljön. I och med att kunskapen om hur fossila bränslen påverkar miljön har ökat, så har också intresset för alternativa bränslen ökat. Etanol är ett förnyelsebart bränsle som framställs av biomassa och användningen av etanol har ökat under de senaste 40 åren. Etanol ger minDuring the last decades, it has become increasingly clear that the extensive use of fossil fuels may severely threaten the environment. As the awareness of negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels has increased, the interest of alternative fuel sources has developed. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made from biomass that has attracted growing attention during the last 40 years. Ethanol has lower
The compound La24Ru11 (tetracosalanthanum undecaruthenium) crystallizes in a Ce24Co11-type structure. The non-centrosymmetric crystal structure (space group P63 mc) contains RuLa6 trigonal prisms, La6 octahedra and LaRu4 tetrahedra and is closely related to that of Ce23Ni7Mg4. This communication highlights the crystal-chemical similarities and points out the differences between the two structures.
Background: Anxiety has been suggested to increase among young individuals, but previous studies on longitudinal trends are inconclusive. The aim of this study was to analyze longitudinally, the changes over time of prevalence of self-reported anxiety in the Swedish population between 1980/1981 and 2004/2005, in different birth cohorts and age groups. Methods: A random sample of non-institutionali
This essay should be seen as a contribution to the study of the islamic cultural heritage. The aim of this particular study is to shed light on and give an overview of the islamic presence and its cultural manifestations in Spain during the medieval period, through archaeological remains and written sources, but also to put it in context with the archaeological research that has been conducted in
Skådespelaryrket kräver mycket av en människa både intellektuellt, färdighetsmässigt och fysiskt. Det förväntas också ofta av en skådespelare att vara musikalisk. Musikalitet kan yttra sig på olika sätt. I skådespelarsammanhang vill jag påstå att musikalitet kan finnas i allt från texthantering till hur man rör sin kropp. Jag är rytmikpedagog, men har också arbetat som skådespelare. Syftet med det
As a school welfare officer you are often alone of having your perspective and must struggle to preserve that perspective. At the same time, there are very little defined what role a social worker should have in a school. This makes it nessesary to form and develop your role of profession independently. According to the Swedish school law, the schools are not required to employ a welfare officer.
Sprays are commonly found in, among other, combustion, agriculture and food processing. For each of these applications, the understanding of spray liquid dynamics is crucial for optimization of efficiency, accuracy, and robustness of the spray-system in use. Sprays are also found as a collection of respiratory droplets ejected when people are speaking, yelling, coughing etc. that is one of the ma
Despite highly rated country-level gender equality, survey-reported experiences of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are common in Sweden, as in neighbouring Nordic countries. This apparently contradictory situation has been referred to as a Nordic Paradox. Among potential partial explanations for this supposed paradox, the complex or multidimensional nature of gender in/equality has
We are surrounded by various chemicals, both naturally occurring and synthetically produced. Some, but not all, chemicals can be hazardous for human health following exposure, especially for vulnerable population groups including children, adolescents, and pregnant women. The increased use and production of chemicals have contributed positively to society in numerous ways, while also resulting in
Background: Myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms define the three major muscle fiber types in human extremity muscles. Slow beta/cardiac MyHC (MYH7) is expressed in type 1 muscle fibers. MyHC IIa (MYH2) and MyHC IIx (MYH1) are expressed in type 2A and 2B fibers, respectively. Whereas recessive MyHC IIa myopathy has been described in many cases, myopathy caused by dominant MYH2 variants is rare and h
Objectives: Efficacy and safety results from the EMERGE (NCT02484547) and ENGAGE (NCT02477800) phase 3 studies of aducanumab in early Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been published. In EMERGE, but not in ENGAGE, high-dose aducanumab demonstrated significant treatment effects across primary and secondary endpoints. Low-dose aducanumab results were consistent across studies with non-significant differ
Purpose: To study the feasibility of automatically identifying normal digital mammography (DM) exams with artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce the breast cancer screening reading workload. Methods and materials: A total of 2652 DM exams (653 cancer) and interpretations by 101 radiologists were gathered from nine previously performed multi-reader multi-case receiver operating characteristic (MRMC
One of the greatest challenges the world is facing is climate change. The need of reduction of energy use and an increased use of renewable energy in buildings constitutes important climate change mitigation measures.The objective of this research is to investigate methodologies and performance indicators for the evaluation of energy and moisture performance of buildings, including co-benefits whi
Over the last few decades, DNA sequencing has developed from costing billions of dollars to get the complete sequence of the human genome, to being a routine procedure performed in labs all around the world. This has transformed the field of experimental biology since measurements can be done at a level of detail that was not possible before. Still, the relationship between genotype and low-level
Background: Recent reviews of associations of alcohol availability with alcohol outcomes suggest findings are highly inconsistent and highlight a lack of longitudinal and causal evidence. Effect modification (moderation or statistical interaction), which could contribute to the inconsistent picture in the existing literature, has not been systematically assessed. We examined associations of alcoho
Abstract: Noradrenaline (NA) metabolism tn the neocortex and hippocampus was examined in rats atl 1, 24, and 48 h following 15 min of reversible forebrain ischemia. As assessed by the ratio of accumulated 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) to the tissue NA level after inhibition of DOPA decarboxylase, the NA turnover rates were markedly increased (120‐148% above the control) at 1 h postischemia in
Background. Diabetes may be linked to incidence of different tumor diseases and prognosis through various mechanisms such as the disease itself, hyperglycemia, obesity and anti-diabetes therapy. Material and methods. The study includes all women with BC diagnosed in Sweden between 2000 through 2008 (n=54406). The women had no previous cancer diagnosis during the period of 1958-1999. Dates of birth
Two men employed as painters and paperhangers showed a long-standing contact dermatitis of the hands and nummular eczema of the arms and legs. Patch testing using the standard series yielded a positive reaction to Kathon CG. Concomitant contact allergy to 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one was found in both patients. The occurrence of 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one was not declared on all of the paints to whi
