Sweden’s post-war development positioned it among Europe’s most motorised countries, contributing to high car ownership and widespread reliance on private vehicles. While cars remain essential to modern life, their overuse challenges national climate goals and public health. Efforts to reduce car use have increasingly focused on promoting sustainable al ternatives such as walking, cycling, and pub
Avtalet utgör den rättsliga form som avser att reglera rättsförhållanden och är kanske den mest grundläggande och bärande företeelsen inom ramen för relationer mellan rättssubjekt. Ett avtal är en rättshandling som uttrycker en viljeförklaring. Äganderätten har beskrivits som den starkaste av sakrätterna och då det i folkmun talas om äganderätt är det troligtvis den västerländska privatkapitalistiThe contract constitutes the legal form that aims to regulate legal relationships and is probably the most fundamental phenomenon within the framework of relations between legal subjects. The definition of a contract is a legal act that expresses a declaration of will. The right of ownership has been described as the strongest of the property rights. When people talk about property rights, it is p
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of argon laser therapy for nonresolving central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in a Saudi patient population. Patients and methods This is a prospective case series study of 20 eyes (20 patients) having nonresolving CSCR. In all of them, no signs of spontaneous improvement were noticed in 3 months. The assessment of the patients, including history
Cervical cancer is preventable through gynecological screening. To promote participation among non-attending women, self-collected vaginal samples for detection of high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) is an option. The aims of this study were to investigate the response of self-collected vaginal samples for hr-HPV testing among long-term non-attendees, to explore the attendance at follow-up amo
Background: Despite EU regulatory standards, many workers suffer injury as a result of working with hand-held vibrating tools. Our aim of this study was to confirm whether carpenters, a highly exposed group, suffer more injuries to their hands than painters, a group assumed to be less exposed to vibration. Methods: 193 carpenters (participation rate 100%) and 72 painters (participation rate 67%),
OBJECTIVES: Degenerative mitral valve disease is the most common indication for mitral valve repair in the Western world. The aim of this study was to study the long term outcome of mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral valve regurgitation in Iceland. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective study of 101 consecutive mitral valve repair patients (average age 57.7 years, 80.2% male) operated in I
Research on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. For instance, one could gain a bound orbit around the Sun if the right amount of nudge is acquired wh
Yrkeslegitimationen inom hälso- och sjukvården anses utgöra en garanti för att den enskilde yrkesutövaren besitter den kompetens och de personliga egenskaper som krävs för yrket i fråga. En yrkesutövare (t.ex. en läkare) som inte bedöms vara lämplig för att få fortsätta sin yrkesutövning ska enligt 8 kap. 3 § patientsäkerhetslagen (2010:659), PSL, få sin legitimation återkallad av Hälso- och sjukv
Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in
Sealings are an important part in the industrial robot. One important property of the seal is to keep all particles and fluids from the outside, away from the important components inside the robot. Another important property is to keep the oil and grease inside the robot, and prevent leakage. The seal also prevent leakage inside the industrial robot and reduces the risks of sensitive components to
Background: Health care providers in many countries have delivered interventions to improve physical activity levels among their patients. Thus far, less is known about the population's interest to increase their physical activity levels and their opinion about the health care provider's role in physical activity promotion. The aims of this paper were to investigate the self-reported physical acti
PURPOSE: To determine whether long-term treatment with the anti-epileptic drug vigabatrin causes damage to rabbit retina.METHODS: Five rabbits were treated continuously with a daily dose of vigabatrin solution per orally during a period of 1-8 months. Two rabbits receiving water were used as controls. Repeated full-field electroretinograms (every two weeks) were assessed during this period. Vigaba
Background. Many individuals are infected with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Some develop ulcers or mucosal atrophy. Aims. To correlate the histological characteristics of the H. pylori-induced gastritis to the immunoblot pattern of the H. pylori infection and to compare the presence of H. pylori bacteria in tissue specimens with ELISA serology and immunoblot analysis. Methods. One hundred an
Research show that human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries today, after narcotics and illegal arms trade (The Polaris Project 2014). The most common victims of human trafficking are stated to be women and children (UNODC 2012). According to the UNICEF (2007), 1,2 million children are estimated to be exposed to trafficking for various exploitative purposes every year aro
Systemic risk can be defined as the risk to the whole financial system. Financial institutions may contribute more or less to this risk, and measuring the systemic risk contributions of institutions is of central importance for regulators. This is important since it makes it possible to determine to what extent different institutions contribute to the overall systemic risk of the financial system
The drinking water and sanitation systems (WSS) in rural Kazakhstan have since its independence in 1991 been challenged with deteriorating implemented centralized systems where the population has been forced to explore individual, decentralized options to ensure a drinking water supply. With a limited documentation and classification of current WSS operating in rural settlements, the large-scale w
Popular science summary: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare disease but more commonly found in ethnic populations belonging to Europe and North America than in those of Asian or African ancestry. This disease causes loss of neurons in different areas of the brain, that gives rise to different behavioural changes and psychological disturbances including involuntary movements and depression. The
Aims: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a life-threatening condition due to the risk of aneurysm growth and rupture. There are no approved diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm. We aimed to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for abdominal aortic aneurysm and to investigate their relationship with abdominal aortic aneurysm diameter and growth. Methods: In this case
A rapid shift from traditional Sanger sequencing-based molecular methods to the phylogenomic approach with large numbers of loci is underway. Among phylogenomic methods, restriction site associated DNA (RAD) sequencing approaches have gained much attention as they enable rapid generation of up to thousands of loci randomly scattered across the genome and are suitable for nonmodel species. RAD data
The aim of this dissertation is to investigate how public spaces in the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm have materialized in relation to cultural policy objectives and ideals of a democratic and inclusive museum. The investigated time period spans from 1943 to 2013. The Swedish History Museum is a state-run archaeological museum, where norms and values are expressed through various governmenta
