När High Court of Justice avkunnade dom i målet Bell v Tavistock konstaterade domstolen att barn under 16 års ålder som lider av könsdysfori högst troligen inte kan ge ett giltigt samtycke till pubertetsbromsande hormonbehandling eller könskonträr hormonbehandling. Världen fick då ta del av berättelsen om en ung flicka som genomgått identitetsbekräftande vård och sedan ångrat sitt beslut. Denna upWhen the High Court of Justice ruled in Bell v Tavistock that children under the age of 16 suffering from gender dysphoria most likely could not consent to being treated with puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, the verdict told the story of a young girl who underwent gender-affirming treatment and later came to regret her decision. This essay studied the decision-making capacity of children an

This thesis addresses overvoltage issues in weak low voltage grids caused by large solar power production. The suggested method is using PI controllers to control voltage. This is done by using battery energy storage systems (BESS), designed to absorb active power during these times and thereby limiting the voltage rise. This could enable faster integration of solar power and a reduced demand for

Den här uppsatsen är inspirerad av en omtalad dom från Svea Hovrätt som meddelades i februari 2019. Svea Hovrätt beslutade att tilldela en pappa ensam vårdnad om sina barn, trots att han ett par år tidigare dömdes till fängelse för att ha misshandlat dem. Anledningen till vårdnadsöverflyttningen var att mamman gjort sig skyldig till umgängessabotage. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda umgängessabotaThis paper is inspired by the well-known and disputed judgment from Svea Court of Appeal passed in February of 2019. Svea Court of Appeal decided to assign a father sole custody of his children, despite of having been sentenced to prison a couple of years earlier for assaulting them. The reason behind the change in custody was the mother sabotaging the children’s right to visitation with their fat

I svensk straffprocessrätt har omedelbarhetsprincipen haft stor betydelse sedan rättegångsbalken infördes år 1948. Den innebär att domstolen bara ska döma över det som har framkommit under huvudförhandlingen. Domstolen har inte innan huvudförhandlingen läst polisens utredning, utan parter och vittnen ska komma till domstolen och lämna sin berättelse direkt inför rätten. Den 1 januari 2022 infördeIn Swedish criminal procedure law, the principle of immediateness has been of great significance since the code of judicial procedure came into effect in 1948. This implies that the court should only judge and present verdicts based on what has appeared during the main hearing. Hence, the court will not have read the pre-trial investigation before the main hearing. Instead, the implicated parties

Aktuell uppsats undersöker de rättsliga utgångspunkterna och bedömningarna av ett ofrivilligt deltagande i våldtäktsfall där målsäganden har en psykisk funktionsnedsättning. Målsäganden som har psykiska funktionsnedsättningar (i uppsatsen: intellektuell- och neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar) har större svårigheter att uttrycka sig och förstå andra människors kommunikationer, vilket gör This essay examines the legal framework and the legal assessments regarding involuntary sexual acts in rape cases when the plaintiff has a mental disability. People with mental disabilities (here: intellectual- and neuropsychological disabilities) have greater difficulties expressing themselves and understanding other people, which puts them at greater risk of being sexually abused. Both Swedis

Den tekniska utvecklingen innebär att det finns nya sätt att kränka en annan person som inte överensstämmer med de tillvägagångssätt som tidigare avsetts i svensk straffrätt. Förevarande uppsats är en undersökning av straffbara ofredanden på sociala medier. Utredningen görs med utgångspunkt i den kritik som riktats mot svensk lagstiftning. Två bestämmelser som kan aktualiseras när brott begås via Due to the technical development, new ways of violating another person has been created. These ways do not comply with the procedures previously set out in Swedish penal law. This essay is an investigation of criminal offenses carried out on social media. The research is based on the criticism raised towards Swedish legislation. Focus lies on two provisions, molestation and sexual molestation acco

The issue of factors predisposing for inhibitor development in haemophilia patients is still largely unresolved. In an attempt to address this problem, we initiated a registry in 1996 of siblings with haemophilia and with or without a history of inhibitors. Four hundred and sixty families have accrued, of whom 388 suffer from haemophilia A and 72 haemophilia B. Twenty-five of the brother pairs are

Aims/hypothesisObservational studies indicate that type 2 diabetes mellitus and fasting glucose levels are associated with a greater risk for hip fracture, smaller bone area and higher bone mineral density (BMD). However, these findings may be biased by residual confounding and reverse causation. Mendelian randomisation (MR) utilises genetic variants as instruments for exposures in an attempt to a

Motivation: Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human-induced environmental changes are compromising the long-term persistence of plant-pollinator interactions. Unfortunately, we lack robust, generalisable data capturing how plant-pollinator communities are structured across space and time. Here, we present the EuPPollNet (European Plant-

Introduction: The physical activity health paradox refers to the contrasting associations of leisure-time physical activity and occupational physical activity with cardiovascular disease, but whether this applies to Type 2 diabetes risk is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the physical activity health paradox and age-specific Type 2 diabetes. Methods: Working adults (N=5,866) in Denmark age

Hypertrophic scars (HTS) and keloids are forms of aberrant cutaneous healing with excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition. Current therapies still fall short and cause undesired effects. We aimed to thoroughly evaluate the ability of growth hormone releasing peptide 6 (GHRP6) to both prevent and reverse cutaneous fibrosis and to acquire the earliest proteome data supporting GHRP6's acute i

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vi är under ständig attack från mikroorganismer som vill leva på oss och i oss. Vissa av dessa är vanligtvis nyttiga medan andra är sjukdomsframkallande. Kroppens försvar mot invaderande organismer består av många delar. Ytterst sitter huden som en mekanisk barriär, vi har slem och epitelceller i luftvägar och magtarmkanal samt skyddande ämnen i exempelvis tårvätska. I Transplantation antigens encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) bind peptides and present them to T cells. We showed that mouse T cells expressing transgenic human CD8 can recognise human MHC class I. Expression on mature T cells is sufficient for activation in a mixed lymphocyte culture but expression both on thymocytes and mature T cells is necessary for peptide specific MHC restr

Popular Abstract in Swedish I alla flercelliga organismer behövs utbyte av information mellan cellerna, som bygger upp kroppen. För detta ändamål är cellerna försedda med små antenner, som kan ta emot signaler och kallas därför receptorer. Receptorer kan vara uppbyggda på olika sätt. De flesta receptorer slingrar sig sju gånger genom membranet och har ett gemensamt sätt att fortleda signaler till Seven-transmembrane, G-protein coupled receptors play a central role in physiology since they facilitate cell communication in multicellular organisms by recognition of a broad range of ligands. They also represent important drug targets. Unfortunately, for many of these receptors the endogenous ligands, and, hence, their physiological functions, remain to be identified. These receptors are usuall

Inference of antibody gene repertoires using transcriptome data has emerged as an alternative approach to the complex process of sequencing of adaptive immune receptor germline gene loci. The diversity introduced during rearrangement of immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (IGHV), diversity, and joining genes has however been identified as potentially affecting inference specificity. In this study,

Bladder denervation and bladder outlet obstruction are urological conditions that cause bladder growth. Transcriptomic surveys in outlet obstruction have identified differentially expressed genes, but similar studies following denervation have not been done. This was addressed using a rat model in which the pelvic ganglia were cryo-ablated followed by bladder microarray analyses. At 10 days follow

Dagens svenska våldtäktslagstiftning kräver att gärningsmannen använt sig av tvång eller utnyttjande för att straffansvar ska föreligga. Det har ifrågasatts om denna utformning av våldtäktslagstiftningen istället borde ersättas med en bestämmelse där samtycke ges en avgörande betydelse. Med en samtyckesbaserad våldtäktsreglering skulle den utslagsgivande faktorn för om ett brott har begåtts eller The Swedish rape legislation of today uses force as the delineator between non-criminal sex and criminal rape. It has been heavily disputed whether or not the force-based legislation ought to be replaced with the use of consent. In that case, consent or the lack of it would determine what is lawful or unlawful, regardless of any use of force. Despite the fact that the Swedish regulations on sexua

Chronic breathlessness at rest or on minimal exertion despite optimal treatment of the underlying chronic cause(s) is termed chronic refractory breathlessness. This is prevalent across the community and is an independent indicator of poor prognosis. This narrative review focuses on the palliation of chronic refractory breathlessness in people predominantly with non-cancer diagnoses. Breathlessness

BACKGROUND: Increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) have been shown to reduce the hormones in the HPA axis. In this study we addressed the question whether patients with unmedicated major depressive disorder (MDD) might have altered baseline levels of these natriuretic peptides and an altered response to acute exercise. METHODS: An incremental exerc

Europeiska unionens (EU) huvudmålsättning är att fri rörlighet av varor, personer, tjänster och kapital ska råda inom unionen. Rättsenigheten inom EU har dock brister och det har observerats att det för en väl fungerande inre marknad hade varit behjälpligt med harmonisering av medlemsstaternas civillagstiftning. För detta ändamål har Europeiska kommissionen initierat utformningen av en gemensam reOne of the main goals of the European Union (EU) is to guarantee the free movement of goods, capital, services and people. Divergences in national contract laws are seen as an impediment to this free movement. To overcome this hurdle scholars clearly suggest that the internal market would benefit if the EU had harmonized the private law. The European Commission (EC) has therefore initiated the cre
