Barn som berörs av avhysning ställs i likhet med barn som drabbas av utmätning av bostad inför risken att förlora sitt hem. En trygg hemmiljö anses vara av stor vikt för barnets utveckling och främja behovet av stabilitet. Barn som befinner sig i osäkra beroendesituationer riskerar att påverkas negativt på flera plan, och upplever inte sällan stark oro och försämrat psykiskt mående. I denna uppsChildren who are affected by an eviction are, like children affected by attachment and sale of a house due to enforceable debt, faced with the risk of losing their home.

The genetic causes of familial breast cancer are still unclear, where only less than 20% have evident germline mutations. Most studies focus on mutations that cause a direct impact in the protein, disregarding the synonymous variants, where the codon is changed but the amino acid encoded remains the same. Synonymous variants can affect mRNA stability and translation, by differences in codon usage

Background & Aims The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is unclear. Studies indicate a low risk for HCC questioning the rationale for current HCC surveillance guidelines. This study explores the risk of HCC in a longitudinal multicenter cohort with over 3.000 PSC-subjects. Approach & results Subjects with well characterized PSC (n=3.071) were fo
Background: Physical exercise is part of the recommended treatment for individuals with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is an effective way to improve cardiovascular health without risk of increased disease activity. Nevertheless, there is a lack of knowledge regarding facilitating factors for digitally-based HIIT among individuals with axSpA. Objective: Th
BACKGROUND: The management of femoral neck fractures (FNF) in elderly patients depends on comorbidities, pre-fracture mobility, any hip joint disease, and life expectancy, with treatment typically involving either hemiarthroplasty (HA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). While cemented femoral stem fixation is standard, there is no clear consensus regarding cemented versus cementless cup fixation in
Background and Aims: Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are critical for preventing sudden cardiac death (SCD) in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). This study aims to identify cross-continental differences in utilization of primary prevention ICDs and survival free from sustained ventricular arrhythmia (VA) in ARVC. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of AR

Vi har under de senaste åren upplevt en allt mer intensifierad debatt kring den svenska lagstiftningen mot supportervåld och huliganism. Många är de som menar att vår nuvarande lagstiftning saknar en direkt verkan mot problemet och att förändring på området måste ske. Vår svenska lagstiftning är likt många andra länders lagstiftningar uppbyggd kring tillträdesförbudet. Det är den mest centrala ochThis thesis will discuss the legal perspective of the problem with hooliganism in Sweden. Is the Swedish legislation sufficient enough to withstand and combat this slowly on-the-rise problem that we have with football violence? This question will be answered as well as what actions may be taken to rationalize and make the legislation more efficient. The Swedish legislation is focused around the eq
Amphibians are declining worldwide, but lack of long-term regional data makes identifying possible causes difficult, hindering conservation efforts. We evaluated whether habitat destruction, terrestrial habitat adjacent to ponds and the physico-chemical characteristics of ponds could explain the regional and local decline of the spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) in Sweden.
