Tillfälliga uppehållstillstånd är på väg att bli ny europeisk standard. Men de försätter individen i limbo och riskerar att underminera välfärdsstatens själva idé, enligt en ny studie. Enligt Tidöavtalet vill regeringen och samarbetspartiet Sverigedemokraterna skapa ett vad de kallar “paradigmskifte” i synen på asylmottagande i Sverige. Skydd för den som flyr ska erbjudas tillfälligt. Det har även

A lot of research explains which diets may reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Much research remains to be done about how our genes respond to the foods we eat. A new study led by researchers at Lund University adds to evidence that variations in the AMY1 gene may affect the way the body breaks down starchy foods. Unhealthy food habits are risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. An
