Ämnesplanen i svenska i gymnasiet ska bygga på men inte överlappa kursplanen i svenska i grundskolan. Grammatiken beskrivs endast implicit i Svenska 1 och omnämns explicit först i Svenska 2. Detta innebär att grammatikundervisning och metaspråk i svenskämnet på gymnasiet i hög grad är beroende av elevernas grammatiska förkunskaper från grundskolan. Syftet var att undersöka hur svensklärare hanteraThe syllabus in Swedish in upper secondary school should be based on, but not overlap, the syllabus in Swedish in primary school. Grammar is only implicitly described in Swedish 1 and is explicitly mentioned only once you move on to Swedish 2. This means that grammar teaching and metalanguage in Swedish in upper secondary school is to a large extent dependent on the students' prior grammatical

Sexhandel förekommer i alla kulturer och samhällen. Trots det har detta område visat sig vara nästintill omöjligt att på ett oproblematiskt vis integrera i länders lagstiftning. En konvergent lagstiftning mellan olika områden är grundläggande för att ett lands rättssystem ska fungera. Sexhandeln är ett politiskt, moraliskt och ideologiskt ämne vilket medför komplikationer när lagstiftningsarbete kSex work occurs in all cultures and societies. Nevertheless, this area has proved almost impossible to integrate into a countries’ legislation in an unproblematic way. Convergent legislation between different areas is fundamental for the functioning of a country’s legal system. The sex trade is a political, moral and ideological subject, which entails complications when legislative work on the sub

Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck har fått stor uppmärksamhet i samhällsdebat-ten under 2000-talet. Den ökade uppmärksamheten har resulterat i en rad åt-gärder från staten, däribland kriminaliseringar. För att en ny kriminalisering ska vidtas behöver den kunna rättfärdigas. I statliga utredningar och doktrin framförs kriterier och principer som bör vara uppfyllda för att en kriminali-sering ska vaHonor-related violence and oppression has received a lot of attention in Swe-den during the 2000s. The increased attention has resulted in a number of measures from the state, including criminalization. A new criminalization must be justified in order to be established. State investigations and doctrines set out criteria and principles that should be met for a criminalization to be ac-ceptable. In

År 1998 infördes fridskränkningsbrotten i brottsbalken för att kunna lagföra personer som utsätter sin partner eller annan närstående person för systematiskt och långvarigt våld. Ett av rekvisiten för grov fridskränkning är att offer och förövare ska vara närstående. Bestämmelsen tar främst sikte på personer som har en parrelation utan att vara samboende eller gifta. Syftet med uppsatsen är att k

Det finns virtuell egendom i videospel med verkliga förmögenhetsvärden, varför den här undersökningen syftar till att utreda om denna företeelse är tjänlig som kreditsäkerhetsobjekt vid pantsättning i svensk rätt. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte används en rättsdogmatisk, och till viss del även en komparativ metod, tillsammans med både svenskt och utländskt material. Virtuell egendom är en företVirtual property in videogames with real monetary value is a reality. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether virtual property may be pledged in a credit transaction. This issue is addressed using both the Swedish legal dogmatic method (Sw. rättsdogmatisk metod), and partly a comparative method, in conjunction with Swedish and foreign material. The existence of virtual property is based on

Att undersöka stjärnor i infrarött är en relativt ny företeelse till skillnad från optisk astronomi (dvs. synligt ljus). Det var först på 60-talet med teleskopet Stratoscope II som man lyckades få spektra från stjärnor i infrarött (våglängder på runt 3 m), och upptäckte förekomsten av vatten i kalla röda jättar. Den bakomliggade problematiken till varför modern infraröd astronomi är så ungt är våThe advent of infrared astronomy, unlike optical astronomy that was developed over centuries, was delayed until the space age due to our own atmosphere acting as an efficient shield towards this radiation. With a lot of molecules (including water) emitting in the infrared region, it was first in the late 1990s that water no longer was deemed special and was observed in many cooler (K-M) giant star

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

Background: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is the earliest marker of disturbed mineral metabolism as renal function decreases. Its serum levels are associated with mortality in dialysis patients, persons with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and prevalent cardiovascular disease (CVD), and it is associated with atherosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy in the genera

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) remains a controversial entity. Specific clusters of MetS components - rather than MetS per se - are associated with accelerated arterial ageing and with cardiovascular (CV) events. To investigate whether the distribution of clusters of MetS components differed cross-culturally, we studied 34,821 subjects from 12 cohorts from 10 European countries and one coho

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

Objective To investigate the possible association of the BANK1 gene with genetic susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) and its subphenotypes. Methods A large multicentre case-control association study including 2380 patients with SSc and 3270 healthy controls from six independent case-control sets of Caucasian ancestry ( American, Spanish, Dutch, German, Swedish and Italian) was conducted. Th

Background: Currently available biomarkers for the early tissue process leading to joint damage in rheumatoid arthritis are insufficient and lack prognostic accuracy, possibly a result of variable activity of the disease over time. This study represents a novel approach to detect an altered activity of the disease process detected as increasing serum-COMP levels over a short time and whether this

Objective. Helicobacter pylori infection is an established risk factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. Infection with H. pylori strains harbouring the cagA pathology island may augment this association. H. pylori infection may at the same time reduce the risk for oesophageal carcinoma. However, prospective data on the association between CagA seropositivity and gastric or oesophageal carcin

Background: A number of the deeper divergences in the placental mammal tree are still inconclusively resolved despite extensive phylogenomic analyses. A recent analysis of 200 kbp of protein coding sequences yielded only limited support for the relationships among Laurasiatheria (cow, dog, bat and shrew), probably because the divergences occurred only within a few million years from each other. It

Background: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a well accepted neurosurgical procedure performed for the relief of spasticity interfering with motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). The goal is to improve function, but long-term outcome studies are rare. The aims of this study were to evaluate long-term functional outcomes, safety and side effects during five postoperative y

Background: Subjects with non-O ABO blood group alleles have increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Glycosyltransferase activity is greater for the A(1) versus A(2) variant, whereas O01 and O02 variants are nonfunctioning. We hypothesized: 1) A(1) allele would confer greater risk than A(2) allele, 2) protective effect of the O allele would be equivalent for O01 and O02 variants, 3) secretor phenotyp

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

Anthracyclines and taxanes are active cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of early metastatic breast cancer. It is yet unclear whether addition of capecitabine to the combination of these drugs improves the treatment outcome. Patients with advanced breast cancer were randomized to first-line chemotherapy with a combination of epirubicin (Farmorubicin(A (R))) and paclitaxel (Taxol(A (R))) alone (ET) o

Objectives The aim of this study was to confirm the influence of TNFSF4 polymorphisms on systemic sclerosis (SSc) susceptibility and phenotypic features. Methods A total of 8 European populations of Caucasian ancestry were included, comprising 3014 patients with SSc and 3125 healthy controls. Four genetic variants of TNFSF4 gene promoter (rs1234314, rs844644, rs844648 and rs12039904) were selected
