BACKGROUND: The risk of infection-related death is high in patients undergoing dialysis. This study aimed to identify the modifiable risk factors for PD-related infections in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.METHODS: This was a population-based retrospective cohort study conducted in Skåne, South Sweden, which included all patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) between 2011 and 2020. T

Background: Diversion—patients who sell or share their medication—is a hotly debated but rela-tively unresearched phenomenon. We have investigated the prevalence of self-reported diversion ofmethadone and buprenorphine at OST programs in Sweden. We have also examined if demographic,treatment, and social factors can be associated with an increased risk of diversion. Methods: Structured interviews w

Understanding the drivers of diversity and change in regional Neolithization trajectories has emerged as a major theme in World Prehistory with new insights appearing in many parts of the globe. In Northeast Asia, research on Neolithic transition over the past two decades has focused primarily on millet and rice domestication and their role in the rise of farming, social complexity, and early Chin

Sex-based differences in immune responses are a well-established phenomenon, with males generally displaying stronger innate immunity and females exhibiting enhanced adaptive responses. The androgen receptor (AR) is the main effector of androgen-induced changes in the body through genomic transcription and has been implicated as one of the origins of sex-based differences in immunity.

Bakgrund: Barn som patientgrupp skiljer sig på många sätt från vuxna patienter och kan därför kräva särskild kompetens hos ambulanspersonal och sjuksköterskor. Smärtupplevelsen hos barn åtföljs ofta av ångest och rädsla. I samband med smärtbehandling är det av stor vikt att försöka skapa en förtroenderelation med barnet, dess familj samt lugna och trösta barnet. Barn har oftast begränsad erfarenhe

Adolescent girls are particularly susceptible to iron deficiency due to increased iron requirements during the pubertal growth spurt, combined with iron loss following menarche. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of heavy menstrual bleeding in an adolescent population using the SAMANTA questionnaire and to explore its relationship with dietary habits and iron deficiency. This cross-sec

Denna artikel undersöker hur innebörden av ekonomisk ersättning kan omdefinieras över tid i svenska familjehemsföräldrars liv. Med utgångspunkt i fyrtio kvalitativa intervjuer visar jag att familjehemsföräldrar initialt kan tona ned eller bortse från de ekonomiska aspekterna av uppdraget, men senare komma att vara beroende av denna inkomst – inte nödvändigtvis av egenintresse, utan som ett sätt atThis article examines how the meaning of financial compensation may be redefined over time in the lives of Swedish foster parents. Drawing on forty qualitative interviews, I demonstrate that while foster parents may initially downplay or disregard the monetary aspects of fostering, they can later come to depend on this income, not necessarily out of self-interest, but as a means of deepening their

The Cerrado sensu stricto, so-called wooded Cerrado, is one of the many phytophysiognomies of the undisturbed Brazilian Cerrado ecoregion holding a biodiversity hotspot towards an extensive area. Thus, such land is under constant land use and cover changes mainly due to the demand for agriculture land, sector with the highest consumption of available freshwater in this ecoregion. This underscores

Study Region 103 FLUXNET2015 flux towers distributed across diverse climatic and ecological regions. Study Focus Accurate estimation of evapotranspiration (ET) is critical for understanding regional ecohydrological processes. Physically based models such as the Penman-Monteith-Leuning (PML) model are robust but often constrained by fixed parameterization schemes, while data-driven approaches such

I denna studie utvärderades hur olika sätt att integrera AI-stöd i det kliniska arbetsflödet påverkar diagnostisk precision och tidseffektivitet. Totalt 51 yrkesverksamma inom psykisk hälsa genomförde diagnostiska bedömningar av simulerade patientfall i plattformen TalkToAlba. Deltagarna randomiserades till en av tre grupper: proaktivt stöd (AI före patientintervjun), retroaktivt stöd (AI före &amThis study investigated how AI support timing impacts clinicians’ diagnostic accuracy and efficiency during simulated psychiatric assessment using TalkToAlba, a clinical conversational AI platform. Professionals with experience in mental health (N = 51) were randomized into three conditions: control/delayed (no initial AI), retroactive (AI post-interview), or proactive (AI pre- and post-interview)

Rapid urbanisation has intensified socio-spatial inequalities in cities of the Global South, leading to the growth of informal settlements that remain excluded from formal planning systems. In India, this condition is increasingly evident in rapidly urbanising cities such as Coimbatore. This thesis investigates how sustainable urban design strategies can be employed to rehabilitate informal settle

Inom svensk rätt kan den som är under 15 år gammal inte bli föremål för straffrättsliga påföljder även om den begår en brottslig gärning. Däremot kan den ungas skuld och ansvar prövas i en bevistalan. Denna uppsats undersöker hur unga lagöverträdare kan hållas straffrättsligt ansvariga för brottsliga gärningar. Fokus ligger på grunderna för särbehandling av unga och vad som krävs för att hålla ettUnder Swedish law, children under the age of fifteen cannot be subjected to criminal sanctions. However, a child’s guilt and responsibility may be examined through proceedings for the establishment of guilt (bevistalan). This thesis examines how young offenders may be held criminally responsible for unlawful conduct, with a particular focus on the grounds for the differential treatment of children

Denna uppsats undersöker reformen om snabbare lagföring i det svenska rättssystemet och dess påverkan på rättssäkerheten för misstänkta. Reformen infördes i syfte att effektivisera rättsprocessen för enklare brott, såsom snatteri, ringa narkotikabrott och trafikförseelser, genom att minska handlägg- ningstiderna och förbättra myndighetssamverkan. Genom en rättsdogmatisk metod analyseras lagtext, pThis thesis looks at the reform called “snabbare lagföring” (faster prosecution) in the Swedish legal system. The purpose of the reform is to make the legal process quicker and more efficient for simple crimes, like petty theft, minor drug offences, and traffic violations. It aims to reduce waiting times and improve cooperation between police, prosecutors, and courts. The study uses legal document

Denna uppsats behandlar distinktionen mellan vedergällnings - respektive preventionsmotiv i svensk straffrätt utifrån ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv. Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera dessa fundamentala straffrättsliga idéer och undersöka hur balansen mellan dem har förändrats över tid. Vidare undersöks hur detta har ådagalagts i lagstiftarens argumentation. Studien har ett primärt fokus på tre This thesis inquires to examine the relationship between retributive and preventive motives in Swedish criminal law, from a legal-historical point of view. The aspiration is to analyse the harmony between the two fundamental philosophies and how they have changed throughout history. Furthermore, the aim is to explicate how the development is mirrored in regard to legislative reasoning. The main fo

The Inquiry on Sanctions, Recidivism and Enforcement left a proposal to introduce a new sanction through their report SOU 2024:48. The sanction is an indefinite custodial sentence with a preventative structure and is meant to counteract recidivism and ensure protection of members of society against serious crime. The proposed sanction is called 'security penalty' in Swedish and is supposed

1994 utvidgades bestämmelserna om äganderätten i grundlagen och i dåvarande RF 2:18 skrevs in att expropriation eller rådighetsinskränkningar i enskild egendom enbart var tillåtet när det tillgodosåg angelägna allmänna intressen. Grundlagsändringen var mycket omdiskuterad och begreppet angeläget allmänt intresse blev särskilt omskrivet. 1999 beslutade regeringsrätten i målet RÅ 1999 ref 76 att sIn 1994 the Swedish constitution was amended to include more protection for the right to property. Among other things, it was written into the consti-tution that expropriation or similar measures was only allowed when it ac-commodated “urgent popular interest” (Swe: “angeläget allmänt intresse”). The updated constitution was widely debated, and the term urgent popular interest was especially contr

Old-growth forests uniquely support biodiversity while serving as some of the planet's most important carbon stocks. The influence of tree and stand age on carbon flux dynamics remains debated—an urgent question as climate-driven disturbances may reshape forest age structures and in situ carbon storage. To clarify these relationships in Fagus sylvatica , systems, we examined a unique dataset of 3,

Syfte & mål: Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur Peter Senges teori om den lärande organisationen (de fem disciplinerna) kan tillämpas för att effektivisera implementeringen av en ny digital plattform i byggbranschen. Problemställning: Vilka styrkor och svagheter finns för Senges fem discipliner vid implementeringen av ACC inom Skanska? Hur kan Skanska säkerställa en effektiv imple

Mapping spatial variability of bioavailable strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) is fundamental to robust analyses of prehistoric human and animal mobility and provenance based on strontium isotope data. A key challenge is how to construct and extrapolate a baseline for specific landscapes to enable meaningful correlation with high-resolution archaeological data. This study presents a regional high-reso
