Women’s rights are under pressure worldwide. NGOs working in women’s rights face new and recurring challenges in light of recent abortion bans and increased domestic violence against women during COVID-19, for instance. The Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) of the United Nations, offers the promise of an ideal world free from discrimination against

Inhibitors of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) have been suggested for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, autoimmune diseases, Plasmodium, and bacterial and fungal infections. Here we present the structures of N-terminally truncated (residues Met30-Arg396) DHODH in complex with two inhibitors: a brequinar analogue (6) and a novel inhibitor (a fenamic acid derivative) (7), as wel

Mesenchymal stroma cells (MSCs) have a high potential for novel cell therapy approaches in clinical transplantation. Commonly used bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs), however, have a restricted proliferative capacity and cultures are difficult to standardize. Recently developed human embryonic stem cell-derived mesenchymal stroma cells (hES-MSCs) might represent an alternative and unlimited source

The effect of the diving response on alveolar gas exchange was investigated in 15 subjects. During steady-state exercise (80 W) on a cycle ergometer, the subjects performed 40-s apneas in air and 40-s apneas with face immersion in cold (10°C) water. Heart rate decreased and blood pressure increased during apneas, and the responses were augmented by face immersion. Oxygen uptake from the lungs decr

Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) and melastatin 8 (TRPM8) are thermosensitive cation channels expressed on primary sensory neurons. In contrast to TRPV1, which is present on nociceptive primary afferents and keratinocytes in human skin, less is known about the distribution of TRPV2 and TRPM8 in this tissue. Immunohistochemistry of human forearm skin identified

BACKGROUND: Several strategies have been used to reach non-attending women in organized cervical-cancer-screening programs, with varying success. Self-sampling (SS) for HPV is effective for increasing coverage in screening programs, but requires expensive commercial sampling kits. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate if vaginal SS, without commercial preservatives was adequate for HPV testing. ST

The world is urbanising at an unprecedented rate. Cities are perceived to be potential solutions as well as causes of the many problems our society faces. On the one hand, cities are considered the driving forces of prosperity through innovation, wealth creation and growth. On the other hand, cities are perceived to be the roots of urgent environmental and social issues. In fact, the very notion o

Radioligand therapy with [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 can be used to prolong life and reduce tumor burden in terminally ill castration resistant prostate cancer patients. Still, accumulation in healthy tissue limits the activity that can be administered. Therefore, fractionated therapy is used to lower toxicity. However, there might be a need to reduce toxicity even further with e.g. radioprotectors. The ai

This study examines the challenges Sweden faces in implementing legislation against human trafficking for sexual purposes, analyzing the issue through conflict theory and feminist perspectives. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research identifies and categorizes causes such as demand, misogyny, inadequate legislation, and socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary research questions addre

This thesis is to introduce the international fora of social human rights, focusing on the social security system of Finland. To demonstrate the complexity of the subject, analyses are made in solidarity, nature of norms and social dialogue. Regardless of the efforts of the International Labour Organization to stabilize social security matters by different Conventions and Covenants, at the nation
