Abstract This study tested the effect of environmental concentrations of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) sertraline on the life history of Daphnia magna and how individual-level responses could predict effects on population growth rate. Individual-level responses related to reproduction, growth and feeding were quantified in a 39-day bioassay and used in a life-table matrix. Alt
Extraterritoriell tillämpning av traktater gällande mänskliga rättigheter väcker många frågor och är idag högaktuell inom både internationella domstolar och arbetsområdet för mänskliga rättigheter i stort. Min uppsats fokuserar på den extraterritoriella tillämpningen av Europakonventionen. Den övergripande frågan som besvaras är under vilka omständigheter Europakonventionens medlemsstater måste föThe issue of extraterritorial application of human right treaties raises many questions and is today very much alive before international Courts and human right mechanisms. This thesis focuses on the extraterritorial application of the European Convention on Human Rights. The main question answered is under which circumstances the State Parties to the European Convention of Human Rights are bound
Bilden av Sverige som ett land utan grov organiserad brottslighet har successivt kommit att förändras. Grov organiserad brottslighet är inte längre något som svenskarna enbart associerar med södra Italien och Francis Ford Coppolas kultförklarade film Gudfadern. Som en del av denna utveckling inleddes under 2007 regeringens mobilisering mot grov organiserad brottslighet, vilken i huvudsak har kommiThe self-image of Sweden as a country without organized crime has gradually been changing. Organized crime is no longer something that the Swedes associate with southern Italy or Francis Ford Coppola’s cult film The Godfather. In 2007, the Swedish government initiated a mobilization against organized crime, which in essence came to mean two things. Firstly, the government founded an extensive coop
Sustainable utilization of scarce water resources requires a conceptualization and understanding of both local and regional climate variability. This work deals with an analysis of climate variability and human impacts on the water balance of the Lake Chad drainage basin of northern Africa. Mean annual precipitation and discharge time series from 112 rain gauges and monthly mean SST anomalies were
Den svenska lagen på upphandlingsområdet för den klassiska sektorn, lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU), bygger på upphandlingsdirektiv grundande på EU-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet för varor och tjänster. Rättsmedelsdirektivet, direktiv 89/665/EEG, som syftar till att säkerställa efterlevanden av upphandlingsreglerna, tillkom i början av 90-talet. Direktivet lämnade dock stort utrymmeThe Swedish law on procurement is based on Community Directives on public procurement establishing fundamental EU Treaty principles such as the principles of free movement of goods and services. The Remedies Directive (89/665/EEC), entering into force in the beginning of the 90´s, was adopted to ensure that effective and rapid remedies are available to aggrieved bidders. However, the directive let
INTRODUCTION: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been associated with immune disturbances, including a higher incidence of infections and autoimmune diseases as well as a net pro-inflammatory state. Natural killer (NK) cells, a key component of the innate immune system, have been less well-studied in PTSD despite their importance in immunity.METHODS: We studied two independent samples of co
“Across all borders”: An investigation into media activities and the Scandinavian Media Model in 1959In this case study we are going to investigate two different radio productions that in interesting ways were crossing the geographical borders between the countries Sweden and Norway and between Sweden and Denmark in the year of 1959. Through the concepts of border (see Hurd et al. 2006) showing ho
During recent years, numerous studies have shown the ability of dietary fiber toprotect the colon from disease and to improve intestinal health. Beneficial healtheffects, such as the lowering of blood cholesterol levels and a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, are often directly related to cereal β-glucan, one of the major components of dietary fiber found in oat and barley. No defin
Background: We are today doing business in a global and increasingly digitalized world where e-commerce has become a significant approach for companies to be successful and to reach a bigger market. Alibaba Group is today considered to be the world’s largest e-commerce company and was founded in 1999 by Jack Ma, a former English teacher from Hangzhou, China. The company’s mission is to make it eas
Ever since the phenomenon of predatory pricing came under the antitrust radar in the Standard Oil case it has spurred debate, which was accentuated after McGee’s seminal article in 1958 where he reexamined the Standard Oil case and claimed that no predatory pricing had taken place. He was supported by a number of scholars (the Chicago school) and legal commentators who stated that predatory pricin
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety profile of orally administered low-dose ketamine for procedural pain management in pediatric cancer patients undergoing lumbar puncture (LP) in a resource-limited hospital setting. Methods: Patients between 4 and 15 years of age, with leukemia, undergoing LP were asked to participate. The study was designed as a t
Aims: The main aim of the present study was to identify factors influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL), as measured by EQ-5D-5L, in individuals 1 year after the acute phase of COVID-19.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 75 participants (51% females), 1 year after confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (76% hospitalised). Associations between HRQoL, measured by patient-reported outcom
PURPOSE: To examine sex differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients surgically treated for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in Sweden, utilizing data from the National Swedish Kidney Cancer Register (NSKCR).METHODS: In this study of 4658 surgically treated RCC patients, data on HRQoL, clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics were retrieved from the NSKCR for pati
BACKGROUND: Changes in Ischemic White matter hyperintensities volume (WMH) on MRI over time are associated with cognitive decline. We investigated whether changes in WMH volume over time exhibit WMH-normalized volume threshold effects on declining cognitive performance and whether these effects on cognition differ between deep white matter hyperintensities (DWMH) and periventricular white matter h
Purpose: Myocardial infarctions (MIs) can occur in underlying obstructive coronary artery disease (MI-CAD) or in non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA). The primary objectives of the study were to investigate the prevalence of MI-CAD and MINOCA in people with CAL, and to explore if CAL is an independent risk factor for MI-CAD and MINOCA. Secondary objectives were to explore these research ques
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om skyddsintressen bakom brott mot griftefrid kan få olika effekt för olika kvarlevor. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka hur det reglerats historiskt för att få reda på om skyddsintressen förändrats över tid. Den första frågeställningen är hur brott mot avlidna och deras viloplatser reglerats historiskt, liksom om äldre värderingar förändrats. Den andCrime against the peace of the grave, “brott mot griftefrid”, is found in 16 chap 10 § Penal Code of 1962 (brottsbalken). The paragraphs in the Penal Code aim to protect an interest. The interest can be that either of a group, an individual or of the society. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate if the protective interests behind the paragraph have different effects on different types of re
Background Sirolimus-coated balloons (SCB) are a potential alternative to paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCB) in the context of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, comparative data between SCB and PCB remain limited. We aimed to compare the outcome of PCI with contemporary PCB or SCB in a real-world clinical setting. Methods The Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SC

In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su
