Background: It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet. Up to 43% of these women are at risk of developing chronic distress requiring complex interventions; however, how to early identify and meet these women's needs is unknown, leaving them with suboptimal chances of r

INTRODUCTION: First-trimester pregnancy risk evaluation facilitates individualised antenatal care, as well as application of preventive strategies for pre-eclampsia or birth of a small for gestational age infant. A range of early intervention strategies in pregnancies identified as high risk at the end of the first trimester has been shown to decrease the risk of preterm pre-eclampsia (<37 gestati
Background: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis can, in the most severe cases, require surgery with insertion of a shoulder arthroplasty. A design with a stem in the humeral bone canal is currently regarded as the standard treatment option in patients who have an intact rotator cuff function, but complications related to the stem including humeral fractures can have devastating consequences. By using a st
Vid till- och nybyggnation i detaljplanerade områden finns det ett antal punkter som måste vara uppfyllda för att bygglov ska beviljas. Detta omfattar bland annat att ansökan ska följa gällande detaljplan samt att de krav och skyddsbestämmelser som finns i Plan- och bygglag (2010:900) ska vara uppfyllda. Ett av dessa krav är anpassningskravet i 2 kap. 6 § 1p PBL. Denna uppsats syftar till att geWhen granting a building permit for changes in detailed development areas, such as alterations and new construction, several requirements must be met. The application must comply with the detailed development plan, but also that the applicable regulations regarding the requirements and protective provisions are complied with. One of these requirements is the adaptation requirement (anpassningskrav

Rätten till arbete, som utgör en av de mest centrala mänskliga rättigheterna och även ses som en grundläggande förutsättning för samhällsintegrering, är införlivad i en rad olika MR-instrument. Lika tillgång till arbetsmarknaden är en mycket viktig aspekt av denna rättighet, som även utmanar den underliggande norm om universalitet som präglar det internationella ramverket för mänskliga rättigheterThe right to work, as one of the most crosscutting and enabling socio-economic rights, as well as a basic requirement for social integration, is enshrined in a wide range of international human rights instruments. Equal access to the labour market is one important aspect of this right that challenges the underlying universality norm of the human rights regime by imposing on states the obligation t
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a tool for measuring the wellbeing of an economy. The question of how to include the use of renewable energy sources is important when estimating the GPI for an economy highly dependent on renewable energy like Iceland. An analysis of GPI estimations showed that the use of renewable energy sources is reflected by the subtraction of the use of non-renewable o
China is a mega-diversity country with abundant natural resources, and the richness of these resources is demonstrated to be relevant with the local people’s historical interactions between biophysical and sociocultural systems. If we are to maintain biodiversity and strike a balance between human well-being and ecosystem service, it is important to incorporate the local people and their tradition
