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

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka huruvida ett offentligt testamentesregister bör införas i svensk rätt. Utredningen har försökt identifiera behov i den svenska rättsordningen samt för- och nackdelar med ett inrättande för att sedan bemötas och analyseras. I huvudsak har rättssäkerheten om att testatorns yttersta vilja kommer till kännedom problematiserats. Löpande genom utredningen harThis thesis aimed to examine whether a public register of wills should be introduced in Swedish Law or not. The study sought to identify needs within the Swedish legal system and the advantages and disadvantages of establishing such a register, which were then addressed and analyzed. Primarily, the legal certainty regarding whether a testator’s final wish is made known has been problematized. Thro

Förevarande uppsats genomför en komparativ analys av den svenska och danska krigslagstiftningen. I Sverige utgörs regelverket av 15 kap. regerings- formen med syfte att bibehålla legalitet oavsett vilka påfrestningar landet ställs inför. Kapitlet behandlar till stor del besluts- och normgivningsfrågor och olika nödförfaranden för när något statsorgan inte kan verka som vanligt. Vidare har Sverige This thesis undertakes a comparative analysis of the Swedish and Danish war- time legislation. In Sweden, the legal framework is found in chapter 15 of the Instrument of Government (regeringsformen) and is formed to maintain le- gality regardless of the pressures the country may face during wartime. The chapter primarily addresses decision making and transfers of legislative pow- ers if a governme

In the last decades, recombinant structural proteins have become very promising in addressing different issues such as the lack of traceability of biomedical devices or the design of more sensitive biosensors. Among them, we find elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), which can be designed to self-assemble into diverse structures, such as hydrogels. Furthermore, they might be combined with other prote

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological studies focusing on the association of exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality are limited, with inconsistent findings.OBJECTIVES: This register-based study aimed to investigate the associations between exposure to PFAS and the risk of CVD morbidity and mortality in a Swedish population exposed to PFAS, do

Purpose: We aim to investigate the characteristics and evaluate the performance of synthetic mammograms (SMs) based on wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) compared with digital mammography (DM). Approach: Fifty cases with both synthetic and digital mammograms were selected from the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial. They were categorized into five groups consisting of normal cas

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Addressing the association between early-changing Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarkers and cognition is essential for characterizing preclinical AD. However, few studies have explored this relationship longitudinally, especially across multiple biomarker modalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal associations of multimodal core 1 AD biomarkers with cogni

Laser diagnostic techniques have for more than 30 years added very valuable input for a deepened understanding of combustion processes. The present paper will focus on techniques developed for visualization of important parameters with the ability to get detailed information in space and time. The paper is not meant to be a complete review of the entire research field but rather a survey with a ma

The persistence of a low productive peasant sector in sub-Saharan Africa is one of the enigmas of development research. This study approaches the question from a historical perspective by analysing the paths of agrarian change in two contrasting cases in Malawi from the mid-1930s to the late 1970s. The cases - Thyolo and Mzimba districts - with their overt differences in terms of population densit

Design is an activity aimed at solving an unsolved problem or improving an existing solution. In the area of societal safety, there are many activities that could be classified as design activities. For example when different actors are implementing measures to mitigate certain risk scenarios or when they are considering actions that could improve their capability to respond to various crises. We

Clinical studies involving intrastriatal transplantation of embryonic mesencephalic tissue in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) have provided proof-of-principle for the cell replacement strategy in this disorder. The grafted dopaminergic neurons can reinnervate the denervated striatum, restore regulated dopamine release and movement-related frontal cortical activation, and produce significant s

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe the perception of hypercholesterolaemia among middle-aged, urban men who had recently received the diagnosis of moderate hypercholesterolaemia. METHOD: Within a project screening for risk factors for coronary heart disease among 453 men, 63 were identified as moderately hypercholesterolaemic. Among these, 62 agreed to tape-recording and transcription of the first co

PURPOSE:: To investigate concordance between objective and perceived neighborhood walkability, their associations with self-reported walking and objective physical activity, and sociodemographic characteristics of individuals in neighborhoods with objectively assessed high walkability who misperceive it as low. METHODS:: In 1,925 individuals aged 20-66 years, recruited from administrative areas in

Several previous studies have addressed pheromone communication in various flour beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), including the confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (du Val). Different stereoisomers of 4,8-dimethyldecanal (DMD) were reported as the only components of an aggregation pheromone, but the behavioral activity of DMD is low. In the present study, additional previously reported s

INTRODUCTION: Informal carers in paid employment-working carers (WKCs)-have complex support needs. However, little is known about WKCs' pattern of informal care provision, the support they receive, the impact providing care has on their employment, and how these vary between male and female WKCs. This study describes the pattern of informal care provision and received support among Swedish WKCs.RE

I denna rapport redovisas populationstrender för 228 svenska fågelarter för olika långa tidsperioder. Vi visar också korttidstrender för 12 arter av större däggdjur. Fåglarna har räknats höst, vinter, vår och sommar enligt strikt standardiserade metoder. Sommar- respektive vinterpunktrutter har räknats sedan 1975, i huvudsak i södra Sverige. Standardrutterna räknas också på sommaren (sedan1996) meWe present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2020 include data from: 564 winter point counts in 2019/2020 (45th winter), of which 274 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (46th year) an
