All employers are obligated by law to work systematically with the physical, psychological and social work environment. This means that the employer must work running and preventively with any problems that might cause the employees health¬problems or result in casualties. The laws and regulations along with public recommendations regarding the psychological and sociological work environment will
Syftet med denna studie var att se på prevalensen av dead regions, frekvensområden i cochlea där det inte finns fungerande inre hårceller (lliC), hos en grupp hörselskadade personer. De hörselskadade personerna har undersökts med det nya testet "Diagnosis for de ad regions" utvecklat av Brian Moore et al. (2000). Försökspersonernas resultat av Dead regionstest har sedan korrelerats med r
Utgångspunkten i svensk socialvård är att insatser ska ske på frivillig väg. I vissa fall måste dock samhället ha möjlighet att använda tvång mot den enskilde. Ett sådant tillfälle är när barn och unga far illa, antingen på grund av missförhållanden i hemmet, eller på grund av eget beteende, och samtycke till vård saknas. Samhället kan då ingripa med stöd av lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelseThe basic idea for social welfare in Sweden is that the needed interventions are to be initiated on a voluntary basis. However in some particular situations a forced intervention against the individual must be an available way of action for society. One such particular situation is when children and juveniles are put in harms way, either from an abusive domestic situation or from their own behavio
Såväl i staters och myndigheters hantering av flyktingfrågor som i den forskning som behandlar flyktingar, asyl och EU:s gräns- och flyktingpolitik talar man mest om flyktingar utifrån en manlig norm. Men vad händer när kvinnor försöker fly till EU? Har EU:s gräns- och flyktingpolitik några könsspecifika konsekvenser för kvinnor? De diskursiva och strukturella ramarna utforskas kritiskt med avstam
Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at an impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological dominance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter-being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisis
The blockade of the CD40/CD40L immune checkpoint is considered essential for cardiac xenotransplantation. However, it is still unclear which single antibody directed against CD40 or CD40L (CD154), or which combination of antibodies, is better at preventing organ rejection. For example, the high doses of antibody administered in previous experiments might not be feasible for the treatment of humans
Births involving shoulder dystocia or tight nuchal cords can deteriorate rapidly. The fetus may have had a reassuring tracing just before birth yet may be born without any heartbeat (asystole). Since the publication of our first article on cardiac asystole with two cases, five similar cases have been published. We suggest that these infants shift blood to the placenta due to the tight squeeze of t
Background Human trafficking is considered a hidden global crime with unsubstantiated numbers. Despite the challenges in counting or measuring this crime, reports revealed the presence of around 40.3 million victims worldwide. Human trafficking results in severe detrimental impacts on both mental and physical health. Given the sensitivity and negative consequences of human trafficking on the globa
We consider the problem of reconstructing the sound field in a room using prior information of the boundary geometry, represented as a point cloud. In general, when no boundary information is available, an accurate sound field reconstruction over a large spatial region and at high frequencies requires numerous microphone measurements. On the other hand, if all geometrical and acoustical aspects of
The assessment of residual lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy may be a critical factor influencing prognosis and treatment decisions. However, there is a notable discrepancy between the RCB, UICC/AJCC, and ICCR guidelines regarding how LVI should be evaluated and reported in this context. ICCR recommends including LVI in the invasive tumor size f
The past years have seen an increasing debate on cooperation and its unique human character. Philosophers and psychologists have proposed that cooperative activities are characterized by shared goals to which participants are committed through the ability to understand each other’s intentions. Despite its popularity, some serious issues arise with this approach to cooperation. First, one may chall
Reducing socioeconomic health inequalities is a key goal of most health systems. When care providers are paid prospectively, e.g., by a fixed sum per patient, existing inequalities may be sustained by the incentives to undertreat relatively unhealthy patients. To counter these incentives, prospective payments are often risk-adjusted based on observable patient characteristics. Despite that risk ad
Policies that facilitate sustainability transformations require knowledge about the dynamics of complex socio-ecological systems, including biophysical mechanisms and diverse human-nature relationships. Such a comprehensive evidence base can only be built by integrating multiple types of knowledges. Ontology, epistemology, and semantics are a well-established terminology to structure and facilitat
För att främja ett aktivt och hälsosamt åldrande (AHA) är det avgörande att förstå hur olika generationer använder digitala teknologier, då dessa verktyg blir en alltmer integrerad del av vardagen. Detta avhandlingsprojekt undersökte teknikanvändning bland kvinnor och män i tre åldersgrupper som representerar olika generationer (30–39, 50–59 och 70–79 år), med fokus på attityder, användningsmönsteTo promote active and healthy ageing (AHA), it is essential to understand how different generations engage with digital technologies, as these tools are becoming increasingly integral to everyday life. This thesis project explored technology adoption among men and women from three age groups representing different generations (30–39, 50–59 and 70–79 years), focusing on attitudes, usage patterns, a
Children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are at increased risk of psychotic disorders; however, the manifestations and clinical implications of psychotic vulnerability among youth with OCD remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we examined the prevalence and clinical correlates of psychotic vulnerability in youth with OCD across two independent samples. Using the T
BACKGROUND: The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCWs) is a concern, but studies that conclusively determine whether HCWs are over-represented remain limited. Furthermore, methods used to confirm past infection vary and the immunological response after mild COVID-19 is still not well defined.METHOD: 314 HCWs were recruited from a Swedish Infectious Diseases clinic caring for
Introduction: Minimally invasive methods to reduce menorrhagia were introduced in the 1980s and 1990s. Transcervical endometrial resection (TCRE) and endometrial ablation (EA) are two of the most frequently used methods. As none of them can guarantee a complete removal of the endometrium, there are concerns that the remaining endometrium may develop to endometrial cancer (EC) later in life. The pr
Ett aktuellt förslag från Företagsskattekommittén föreslår att det ska införas ett nytt system för bolagsbeskattning. De nya reglerna ska öka den skattemässiga neutraliteten mellan eget och lånat kapital, samt om möjligt ersätta de nuvarande reglerna för ränteavdragsbegränsningar. Förslaget som lämnats in består av två förslag, huvudförslaget samt det alternativa förslaget. Huvudförslaget är detA current report from the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation suggests an introduction of a new system of corporate taxation. The new regulations are supposed to increase fiscal neutrality between the taxation of equity and debt, and also potentially replace the existing interest deduction legislation. The report consists of two proposals, the main proposal and an alternate proposal. The main

Ett av Sveriges klimat- och energipolitiska mål avser effektivare energianvändning. Ett sätt att uppnå målet är genom kravställning på energihushållning vid renovering av byggnader. I de fall då det med hänsyn till byggnadens kultur- och arkitektoniska värde inte går att tillämpa beprövade metoder får andra alternativa metoder sökas. En sådan annan alternativ metod är en dubbelskalfasad och innebäOne of Sweden's political objective is to increase energy efficiency. One way to achieve the objective is by making demands on the use of energy after a building has been renovated. Regarding the building's cultural and architectural values there are cases where it is not possible to apply proven methods to meet the demands, and other alternative methods must be sought. Such an alternative
