The Child Rights Institute's latest activities 2025-12-06: Anna Sonander (Lund University), Martina Hibell (Barnfonden) and Sara Lenninger (Kristianstad University) participated in Radio AF's 48-hour live broadcast in collaboration with Musikhjälpen. This year's theme was ‘All children have the right to go to school’. December 2025: The anthology Building a Sustainable Society Through Child Partic

Management information Yesterday the Management group had a full day of planning and discussions on the plan of operations and budget for 2022, localities and our return to the office, recruitments and more. We would like to highlight two subjects for you. Fist we would like to give you an update on the continuation of the spring assignment from the Faculty to explore pre-conditions for closer col

Objectives: The only treatment with curative potential for distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) is radical surgery which can be complemented with adjuvant chemotherapy. The aim of the present study was to perform an independent external validation of a prognostic model for 3-year overall survival based on routine clinicopathological variables for patients treated with pancreatoduodenectomy for dCCA. M
This study explored serious mental illness (SMI) in young adult offenders imprisoned for violent or sexual crimes, estimating the effects of neurodevelopmental disorders and early-life risk factors on the development of SMI, and its prospective long-term adverse outcomes. An all-male cohort of 266 violent offenders, assessed during imprisonment when aged 18–25 years (M = 21.8, SD = 1.9), was follo
Background: Mechanical ventilation (MV), compared to spontaneous breathing (SB), has been found to increase abdominal edema and inflammation in experimental sepsis. Our hypothesis was that in primary acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) MV would enhance inflammation and edema in the abdomen.Methods: Thirteen piglets were randomized into two groups (SB and MV) after the induction of ARDS by l
Fish played a vital role in the development of the European Mesolithic; from their colonization of the continent during the Upper Palaeolithic to ongoing debates regarding their importance across the Neolithic transition, they are central to many discussions. Here, we focus on the European Mesolithic zooarchaeological fish dataset, in which we have collated >640,000 identified fish remains from 35
In the late nineteenth and for much of the twentieth century, an academic career in Sweden was highly dependent on what grade a scholar’s doctoral dissertation was awarded. Unless receiving a so-called “docent grade”, basically declaring the scholar eligible for seeking the title of docent (associate professor), the prospects of maintaining an academic career were bleak. Throughout the period, thiIn the late nineteenth and for much of the twentieth century, an academic career in Sweden was highly dependent on what grade a scholar’s doctoral dissertation was awarded.

Aim: To explore the possibility of reducing the diagnostic burden in children with prenatally detected unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Methods: Children with unilateral ureteropelvic junction obstruction (2012–2020) were identified from a prenatal hydronephrosis registry. The frequency of adverse events, predictors for event-free follow-up beyond 1 year of age, and examination burde
Objective: The use of a conduit is an established surgical method for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in congenital heart disease; however, its limited durability makes reintervention almost inevitable. We studied the trends in new implantation, reoperation, and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) from a Swedish national perspective. Design and results: The Swedi
Polychlorinated-biphenyls (PCBs) were introduced in the late 1920s and used until the 1970s when they were banned in most countries due to evidence of environmental build-up and possible adverse health effects. However they still persist in the environment, indoors and in humans. Indoor air in contaminated buildings may confer airborne exposure markedly above background regional PCB levels. To dat
This study focuses on the development of unstructured models, including both substrate and product inhibition, that predict the cultivation of Actinobacillus succinogenes and Basfia succiniciproducens on a mixture of C5 and C6 sugars, similar to the sugar composition contained in spent sulphite liquor, the liquid waste stream from the sulphite pulping process. The main sugar monomer contained in t
In a case-control study of 280 out of 426 consecutive patients with a recent diagnosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 1827 control subjects, 53 (19%) and 230 (13%) respectively had received blood transfusions 1 year or more before the interview. Using an age- and sex-stratified analysis the odds ratio (OR) for transfusion was 1.74 (95% CI 1.24-2.44). ORs were also determined for transfusions re
The Value of a Statistical Life (VSL) is a widely used measure of the value of mortality risk reduction. Since VSL should reflect preferences and attitudes to risk, there are reasons to believe that it varies depending on the type of risk involved. It has been argued that cancer should be considered a “dread disease”, which supports the use of a “cancer premium”. The objective of this study is to
Monophasic action potentials (MAP) were simultaneously recorded from the right ventricular (RV) apex (RVA) and the outflow tract (RVOT) before and after an infusion of dofetilide in 10 patients with documented ventricular tachycardia. After the drug infusion, the MAP duration (MAPd), repolarization time, and corrected QT interval were significantly prolonged during sinus rhythm, RV pacing, and RV
This work describes the preparation and investigation of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) microgels (MGs) stabilized Pickering emulsions (PE) for their ability to catalyze the formation of disulfide bonds in peptides at the O/W interface. The MIP MGs were synthesized via precipitation polymerization and a programmed initiator change strategy. The MIP MGs were characterized using DLS analysis, S
Starting from mature vegetable compost, four bacterial strains were selected using a lignin-rich medium. 16S ribosomal RNA identification of the isolates showed high score similarity with Pseudomonas spp. for three out of four isolates. Further characterization of growth on mixtures of six selected lignin model compounds (vanillin, vanillate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, p-coumarate, benzoate, and ferulate)
Low androgen levels may contribute to sexual dysfunction in women after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT). However, data on serum androgens in women after alloHCT are limited. The aim of this study was to assess androgen levels and their association with chronic GvHD (cGvHD) and glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. Included were 65 allografted women, 33 with cGvHD, and 23 of these we
