The terrestrial carbon cycle is an important component of the global carbon budget due to its large gross exchangefluxes with the atmosphere and their sensitivity to climate change. Terrestrial biosphere models showlarge uncertainties in simulating carbon fluxes, which impact global carbon budget assessments. The land surfacecarbon cycle is tightly controlled by soil moisture through plant physiol
Aim. The aim of the study was to describe results from a single vascular unit of endovascular revascularisation of subclavian and innominate arterial disease. Methods. Between April 1994 and March 2010, 63 patients (mean age 61.8±10.8 years, 41[65%] women) were endovascularly treated for subclavian and innominate arterial disease. Fourteen (22%) had upper extremity claudication, 5 (8%) acute arm i
Aims: Preterm birth has been associated with elevated blood pressure early in life; however, hypertension risks from childhood into adulthood remain unclear. We conducted a large population-based study to examine gestational age at birth in relation to hypertension risks from childhood into adulthood. Methods and results: A national cohort study was conducted of all 4 193 069 singleton live births
Purpose: The accuracy of analytical dose calculations (ADC) and dose uncertainties resulting from anatomical changes are both limiting factors in proton therapy. For the latter, rapid plan adaption is necessary; for the former, Monte Carlo (MC) approaches are increasingly recommended. These, however, are inherently slower than analytical approaches, potentially limiting the ability to rapidly adap
Popular Abstract in Swedish De två vanligaste typerna av neurodegenerativ demenssjukdom är Alzheimer’s sjukdom och Lewy body demens. Båda sjukdomarna drabbar framförallt äldre människor och risken att insjukna ökar med stigande ålder. Detta innebär att demenssjukdom kommer att bli vanligare i samhället, eftersom vi blir allt äldre och andelen invånare >65 år blir allt större. Att drabbas av demensBackground: A prognostic marker should provide information about course and outcome of disease, e.g. predict time to a given endpoint or rate of progression due to disease in patients or subgroups of patients. Prognostic markers could be targeted to apply during the entire clinical course or just during distinct stages of the disease. Aim: The aim of this thesis is to identify, review and qualif
PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to extend the previously reported short-term randomized trial of open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) to compare outcomes 5 years after surgery. METHODS: In a single-center randomized controlled trial, 128 patients (25 to 60 years) with clinically diagnosed and electrophysiologically confirmed idiopat
Artikel 6 i den europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR), rätten till en rättvis rättegång, är en av de viktigaste och mest centrala rättigheterna ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv, i synnerhet när det handlar om tillämpning av nationell straffrätt. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra för regleringen avseende anonyma vittnen i både E
Hedersrelaterade våldsbrott är något som förekommer även i Sverige. Vi har dock ingen lagstiftning i Sverige som reglerar dessa brott. Begås ett våldsbrott där motivet varit hedersrelaterat, döms gärningsmännen i enlighet med de övriga våldsbrotten som regleras i 3 och 4 kap brottsbalken. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad bristen på lagreglering avseende de hedersrelaterade våldsbrotteHonor-related violence is something that also occurs in Sweden. However we have no legislation in Sweden that regulate these offenses. Committing a violent crime where the subject was honor-related, convicted offenders in accordance with the other violent crimes governed by Chapters 3 and 4 Penal Code. The purpose of this work is to investigate the lack of statutory regulation concerning the honor

In order to achieve the purpose of the study seven qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with school counselors. The interviews were transcribed, coded and analyzed
Med utgångspunkt i 2022 års lagändring av våldtäktsbrottet i 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken (1962:700), syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka samlagsbegreppet och hur utformningen av detta begrepp påverkar brottets skyddsvärda intressen. Genom redovisning av lagstiftning, förarbeten, praxis och doktrin redogör uppsatsen för rättsutvecklingen på våldtäktsbrottets område, samt hur gällande rätt dels är utforBased on the change of legislation 2022 concerning the crime of rape, established in chapter 6, section 1 of the Swedish Criminal Code (brottsbalken, 1962:700), this essay aims to examine the concept of sexual intercourse and how the formulation of this concept affects the interest which the crime purports to protect. This thesis describes the legal development in the area of rape, as well as how
Jag har identifierat ett speciellt samarbetsproblem inom området frånskilda föräldrars umgänge med sina gemensamma barn. Det handlar om att ena föräldern inte fullgör sitt umgänge utan bara uteblir. Jag har kallat detta för omvänt umgängessabotage. Jag har inte i dagens regelverk funnit någon rättslig lösning när detta problem inträffar. Därför har jag undersökt om problemet kan förebyggas i förväI have identified a problem of cooperation in the field of divorced parents spending time with their children. The problem is that one parent is deliberately absent and not fulfilling the agreements of spending time with the children. I have called it reverse visitation interference, and I haven’t found any legal solution to it. Therefore, I have evaluated if the problem can be prevented by agreement
Genom bestämmelser i rättegångsbalken har domaren vid en svensk domstol ålagts en skyldighet att i dispositiva tvistemål bedriva materiell processledning i syfte att skapa så goda förutsättningar som möjligt för en effektiv, materiellt korrekt och billig rättegång. Hur långt denna skyldighet sträcker sig och hur den ska utövas tillhör ett av de mest debatterade områdena inom svensk processrätt. PrThrough provisions in the Swedish code of judicial procedure, a judge in a Swedish court has been imposed an obligation to conduct substantive direction of proceedings in cases amendable to out-of-court settlement in order to create as good conditions as possible for an efficient, materially correct and inexpensive judicial process. How far this obligation extends and how it is to be conducted is
Det finns virtuell egendom i videospel med verkliga förmögenhetsvärden, varför den här undersökningen syftar till att utreda om denna företeelse är tjänlig som kreditsäkerhetsobjekt vid pantsättning i svensk rätt. För att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte används en rättsdogmatisk, och till viss del även en komparativ metod, tillsammans med både svenskt och utländskt material. Virtuell egendom är en företVirtual property in videogames with real monetary value is a reality. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether virtual property may be pledged in a credit transaction. This issue is addressed using both the Swedish legal dogmatic method (Sw. rättsdogmatisk metod), and partly a comparative method, in conjunction with Swedish and foreign material. The existence of virtual property is based on

IntroductionThe ESCAPER project explores cardiovascular resilience in individuals who, despite a high-risk factor burden-longstanding Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), obesity, or kidney failure-avoid or delay macrovascular complications. This suggests underlying protective mechanisms. Initiated in September 2022, this exploratory study aims to uncover and define these mechanisms, potentially leading to nove
Background: Higher meat intake has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated plasma metabolites associated with meat intake and their relation with cardiometabolic biomarkers, subclinical CVD markers, and incident CVD. Methods: Associations between self-reported meat intake and 1272 plasma metabolites were investigated in the SCAP
Tendons are hierarchically structured and composed of load-bearing collagen. Their hierarchical structure allows the transfer of tensile forces across multiple length scales as loads are partitioned from the whole tendon through fascicles, fibers, and fibrils down to the tropocollagen molecules. To elucidate their structural hierarchical deformation, this study investigated the combined tissue, fi
A new approach to the problem of estimating parameter in material models is presented. The approach is based on a state space representation of the constitutive equations and one step predictions. The differences between one-step predictions and the corresponding measurements are used to design generic one-step prediction error estimators, and in particular, the maximum likelihood method is presen
