Background Carriers of APOE epsilon 2 and epsilon 4 have an increased risk of intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) in lobar regions, presumably because of the effects of these gene variants on risk of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. We aimed to assess whether these variants also associate with severity of ICH, in terms of haematoma volume at presentation and subsequent outcome. Methods We investigated the

En intrångsundersökning är ett medel att vidta för att säkra bevisning om ett intrång i en immateriell rättighet och dess omfång.

Från och med den 1 januari 2020 skärptes straffskalan för sexköp av barn. Syftet med åtgärden var att förstärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för ungdomar mot att dras in i prostitution.

Kommuner har stora kostnader för sitt planarbete, vilka idag täcks på olika sätt. Lagstiftningen ger kommuner rätt att ta ut planavgift från de fastighetsägare vars fastigheter får nytta av planarbetet genom att bygglov ges i enlighet med planen. Planavgift kan tas ut i förskott, vilket har gett en kommunal praxis där så kallade plankostnadsavtal tecknas med den som ansöker om planläggning. ExamMunicipalities have large costs for their work with detailed development plans and area regulations. These planning costs are funded in different ways. Legislation permits municipalities to charge property owners for the planning costs of a certain plan, if the properties benefit from the plan by receiving building permits. Municipalities can charge a fee of planning when the building permits are

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Arktis har under de senaste årtiondena upplevt betydande uppvärmning och enligt prognoser förväntas ytterligare höjningar av både lufttemperatur och nederbörd under det kommande århundradet. Det förändrade klimatet har haft omfattande konsekvenser för permafrosten (ständigt frusen mark) som format och kraftigt präglar stora delar av det arktiska landskapet. Med öThe Arctic region has experienced significant warming in the past decades and according to predictions further increases in air temperatures and precipitation will occur during the 21st century. Recent changes in climate have had widespread implications for the permafrost around the Arctic. Shorter periods of snow covering the Arctic regions significantly reduce the average annual albedo which dra

Narkotika har sedan 1960-talet utgjort ett allvarligt samhällsproblem i Sverige. En skyndsam utbredning har varit en bidragande faktor till stor del av den grova brottsligheten i landet.

The increasing spread of global pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, in particular in developing countries, has forced the engagement of industrialized countries and pharmaceutical companies.

Most of these techniques for sound source estimation use the signal-subspace approach, where
