Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Sverige kom att få fri abort genom att redogöra för argumentationen som fördes under riksdagsdebatten år 1974 gällande införandet av den nya abortlagen. Det görs genom rättshistorisk metod och materialet som har använts är främst riksdagsprotokollen från debatten. För att sätta in riksdagsdebatten i sitt sammanhang berör uppsatsen även kort en överblick The purpose of this essay is to investigate how Sweden got free abortion by examining the arguments made during the parliamentary debate in 1974, which concerned the legislation of free abortion. This is done using a legal historical method and the material that has been used consists mainly of the protocols from the debate. To put the debate in its context the thesis also gives an overview over
Self-harm, comprising non-suicidal self-injury, and suicide attempts, is a serious and potentially life-threatening behavior that has been associated with poor life quality and an increased risk of suicide. In forensic populations, increased rates of self-harm have been reported, and suicide is one of the leading causes of death. Aside from associations between self-harm and mental disorders, know
Identification of biomarkers associated with protection from developing diabetic complications is a prerequisite for an effective prevention and treatment. The aim of the present study was to identify clinical and plasma metabolite markers associated with freedom from vascular complications in people with very long duration of type 1 diabetes (T1D). Individuals with T1D, who despite having longer
Background Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is characterized by excessive heart rate increase on standing and orthostatic intolerance. Previous data indicate autoimmune involvement. We studied serum activity against G protein-coupled receptors in relation to symptoms in patients with POTS and controls using a commercial cell-based assay. Methods and Results Forty-eight patients wit
Analyzing genomic data across populations is central to understanding the role of genetic factors in health and disease. Successful data sharing relies on public support, which requires attention to whether people around the world are willing to donate their data that are then subsequently shared with others for research. However, studies of such public perceptions are geographically limited and d
Objective: Lymph node metastases (pN+) in presumed early-stage cervical cancer negatively impact prognosis. Using federated learning, we aimed to develop a tool to identify a group of women at low risk of pN+, to guide the shared decision-making process concerning the extent of lymph node dissection. Methods: Women with cervical cancer between 2005 and 2020 were identified retrospectively from pop
The Pasur River is a vital reservoir of surface water in the Sundarbon area in Bangladesh. Mongla seaport is located on the bank of this river. Many industries and other commercial sectors situated in this port area are discharging waste into the river without proper treatment. For this reason, geospatial analysis and mapping of water pollutant distribution were performed to assess the physicochem
Objective To determine if plasma transfusions with male donor plasma to very preterm infants affect circulatory levels of sex steroids. Design and patients Retrospective multicentre cohort study in 19 infants born at gestational age <29 weeks requiring plasma transfusion during their first week of life. Setting Three neonatal intensive care units in Sweden. Main outcome measures Concentrations of
Fibril-reinforced poroviscoelastic material models are considered state-of-the-art in modeling articular cartilage biomechanics. Yet, cartilage material parameters are often based on bovine tissue properties in computational knee joint models, although bovine properties are distinctly different from those of humans. Thus, we aimed to investigate how cartilage mechanical responses are affected in t
Aims: Clinical trials have demonstrated that a reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduces cardiovascular (CV) events. This has, however, not yet been shown in a real-world setting. We aimed to investigate the association between LDL-C changes and statin intensity with prognosis after a myocardial infarction (MI). Methods and results: Patients admitted with MI were followed fo
Popular Abstract in Swedish Summary in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Neuroblastom uppstår ur omogna nervceller i binjurarna eller i nervvävnaden bredvid ryggraden och är den vanligaste extrakraniala solida tumörformen hos barn. Varje år drabbas ca 10-15 barn i Sverige och sjukdomen uppkommer vanligast hos barn under 4 år. Trots enorma framgångar med behandlingsformer, så som cytostatAbstract Neuroblastoma is a highly malignant neoplasm found in children. Although children with high-risk neuroblastoma respond to chemotherapy, relapses are common and an estimated long-time survival prognosis is approximately 15%. Thus, there is a tremendous need for new chemotherapeutic drugs for the treatment for neuroblastoma. Polyamines are needed for cell proliferation and cell survival. Th
Aim:Aerobic capacity, defined as peak oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK), is generally considered to be the best single marker for aerobic fitness. We assessed if VO2PEAK is related to different cardiac dimensions in healthy young children on a population base. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 245 children (137 boys and 108 girls) aged 8-11 years, were recruited from a population based cohort. VO2PEAK (m
Background The effectiveness of cervical cancer screening programs differs widely in different populations. The reasons for these differences are unclear. Routine and comprehensive audits have been proposed as an ethically required component of screening. We performed a nationwide audit of the effectiveness of the Swedish cervical cancer screening program. Methods We identified all invasive cervic
Background: Only a few intervention studies aiming to change high-risk drinking behavior have involved university students with heredity for alcohol problems. This study evaluated the effects after 2 years on drinking patterns and coping behavior of intervention programs for students with parents with alcohol problems. Method: In total, 82 university students (57 women and 25 men, average age 25 y
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den vanligaste barncancerformen är akut leukemi, en form av blodcancer som uppstår i immunförsvarets celler och som drabbar cirka 75 barn i Sverige varje år. Även om de flesta av barnen idag botas får en av fem återfall och då minskar överlevnaden drastiskt trots intensiv behandling. Vad det är som gör leukemin mer motståndskraftig när den återkommer vet man ännu inte iAcute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by an accumulation of immature lymphoid cells in the bone marrow and is the most common cancer type in children. It is an immunophenotypically, morphologically, clinically, and genetically heterogeneous disorder that comprises several distinct subtypes. Proper classification is important because determining the correct subtype plays a vital role
I dagens samhälle är innovation av tilltagande värde för såväl industrialiserade som utvecklingsländer och ett innovativt samhällsklimat innebär ett betydande bidrag till den ekonomiska tillväxten och till samhällsutvecklingen i stort. Det bokförda värdet hos dagens bolag består till en stor och växande del av immateriella tillgångar och det blir ständigt lättare att tillgå mer och bättre kunskap.In today’s society innovation is increasingly important for a developed, as well as a developing, country and it is a significant contributor to economic growth and the evolution of society. The accounted value of companies increasingly consists of immaterial property and our access to existing knowledge is ever greater and ever easier. Since ideas and innovations are of such great importance to m
