METHODS: In a single-center randomized controlled trial, 128 patients (25 to 60 years) with clinically diagnosed and electrophysiologically confirmed idiopat
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants influencing this trait have been identified. We conducted a meta-analysis of 32 genome-wide association studies for WHR adjusted for body mass index (comprising up to 77,167 participants), following up 16 loci in an addit
This study investigates xenoliths present in various dykes on Tenerife, the Canary Islands. These xenoliths were studied by means of fieldwork, petrographic analysis, scanning electron microscopy, laser fluorination, and LA-ICP-MS. In conjunction these analyses enable the understanding of the magmatic structures beneath the Anaga massif, with a conceptualisation of the formation of this volcanic s
The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid in the world, considering the funds given by its institutions and Member States. Development cooperation has been a central policy theme since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, thus constituting a significant sphere of the EU’s foreign affairs. In this context, the concept of partnership covers a meaningful role, and has lately gained mo
Förutsättningsläran är en gammal rättsprincip som härstammar från romersk rätt och fick en renässans under 1800-talet i Tyskland. Tidigt 1900-tal fick förutsättningsläran fotfäste i Danmark när Henry Ussing avhandlade princi-pen med en modern syn på läran, denna nya objektiva förutsättningslära spred sig sedan till Sverige. Läran innebär att ett avtal kan ogiltigförklaras om en avtalspart haft eThe doctrine of assumptions is an old legal principle that originated in Ro-man law and enjoyed a renaissance in the 19th century in Germany. In the early 20th century, the doctrine of assumptions gained a foothold in Den-mark when Henry Ussing discussed the principle with a modern view of the doctrine, this new objective doctrine of assumptions then spread to Sweden. The doctrine means that a c
Denna uppsats har haft som syfte att undersöka vad som sker när makars ekonomiska enhet plötsligt upphör genom att en av makarna avlider. Det är många praktiska åtgärder rörande bouppteckning, bodelning och arvskifte som kan försvåras genom gällande lagstiftning.

This study intends to place the literary and cultural criticism of the Finland-Swedish writer and critic Hagar Olsson during the period 1918 to 1948 in the context of the history of ideas in Scandinavia and the rest of Europe and America at the time. While doing so she appears at the frontline of the modernist movement in Swedish literature, both as a critic and a writer, that which is often negle
Power supply is a social necessity, and will so continue to be in the near future. Therefore, safe and steady deliverance of power supply is a fundamental duty of the societies and the preparedness of the vulnerability of the infrastructures is highly prioritized. The power supply comprises every component needed for transmission of electrical power from generation to consumption, power transform
Abstract Over 1000 published species which are largely heterogenous in morphology were formerly grouped in the lichen genus Caloplaca s. lat. (Ascomycota, eloschistaceae). Although there is no complete monograph of the genus, many taxonomic studies have focused on specific geographical regions. Although a number of these studies have focused on species that exist in California, samples of putativ
Long waiting periods for asylum seekers is a problem in most European countries and the effort to harmonise the refugee politicy within the union has brought this question to the point. Everyone agrees that the asylum process has to be made more effective, also Sweden. Medical research shows that asylum seekers in Sweden are particularly exposed to mental and physical unhealthiness. My ambition wi
Människor strävar ofta efter att uppvisa en positiv fasad, både på sociala medier och i verkliga livet. Att undertrycka sina känslor och tvinga sig själv att vara positiv är något som i populärkulturen benämns som “toxic positivity”. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan ett undertryckande av känslor (suppression), enligt Gross (2002) emotionsregleringsmodell, och välmående. Vi strPeople often strive to exhibit a positive facade, both on social media as well as in real life. To suppress one's feelings and force oneself to be positive is something which in popular culture is referred to as “toxic positivity”. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between suppression of feelings, or simply “suppression” according to the emotional regulation model formulate
The war in Ukraine in 2022 has caused environmental damages on different scales which come with their own challenges. One of the factors that can cause environmental damage is vegetation fire. As earlier studies have concluded, in conflict regions the amount of vegetation fires can increase due to (forced) migration, change in agriculture and warfare tactics. Not only conflict can change fire occu
Ungdomskriminaliteten har särskilt under de senare åren varit ett ämne som ständigt uppkommit i den kriminalpolitiska debatten. Regeringen gav under 2021 en särskild utredare i uppdrag att genomföra en översyn av regleringen om frihetsberövande påföljder för barn och att utifrån denna presentera förslag på lämpliga förändringar. Detta resulterade i SOU 2023:44 som presenterades i augusti 2023. I dJuvenile delinquency has in recent years been a topic that has constantly arisen in the justice policy debate and in 2021 the government appointed an inquiry chair to carry out a review of the regulations on custodial penalties for children, and on the basis of this investigation present proposals for suitable revisions. This resulted in SOU 2023:44 which was presented in August of 2023. In this,
The purpose of this essay is to examine how two nonfiction books for children in the category sexual education from Sweden portrays gender and sexuality. Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis is the method of choice, where the nonfiction books are seen as part of a discourse in which language is not neutral. The analysis is based on Judith Butler’s theories on the heterosexual matrix and
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vilka effekter ett införande av fotboja som ungdomspåföljd skulle innebära för de unga som i så fall skulle komma i fråga för påföljden. Utgångspunkt tas i det förslag på införande av fotboja för unga som återfinns i SOU 2012:34 Nya påföljder, där påföljden kallas för ungdomsövervakning. Inledningsvis tecknas en översiktlig bild av det rättspolitiska dagsläThe aim of this thesis is to examine the potential effects on youths of an introduction of electronic tagging into the Swedish penal system for juveniles. The proposition of such electronic tagging, presented in SOU 2012:34 Nya påföljder (“New sanctions”) by the name ungdomsövervakning (“youth monitoring”), acts as a starting point for the investigation of the expected effects on youths. First,
En grundläggande princip i det svenska rättssystemet är rätten till en rättvis rättegång inom skälig tid. Principen innebär bland annat att domstolsförfarandet måste uppfylla vissa krav i form av rättssäkerhetsgarantier. I kommersiella avtal förekommer ofta att parterna gemensamt beslutar hur tvister dem emellan ska lösas. Det innebär att parterna avtalar bort vissa delar av de krav på förfarandetA fundamental principle in the Swedish judicial system is the right to a fair trial within reasonable time. The principle means that the judicial procedure must uphold some procedural guarantees. In commercial contracts the parties often decide together how disputes arising between them shall be settled. That means that the parties through the contract are giving up parts of the procedural guarant
Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionenThe pulp and paper industry have been a growing market during the last decades. Due to higher environmental concerns among people, the recycling of papers has become an even more important part of the industry. Recycled paper fibers however are of lower quality than virgin fibers. This report aims to analyze the possibility to use a laccase enzyme to modify the interaction between lignin and recyc
Socialtjänsten har ett särskilt ansvar för barn. Detta åtagande innebär bland annat att staten har en skyldighet att vårda barn vars hälsa eller utveckling riskerar att skadas. I första hand ska vården, liksom stöd och andra insatser som socialtjänsten ansvarar för och tillhandahåller, beredas på frivillig väg. Det kan dock uppstå situationer då det är nödvändigt att ingripa med tvång från samhällThe social service has a special responsibility for children. This commitment means, among other things, that the state has an obligation to care for children whose health or development is at risk of injury. To the extent possible, the care shall, as in the case of other activities carried out by the social services, be provided on a voluntary basis. However, it may occur situations when it is ne
Inventory control is a subject that impacts more or less every section of most businesses, hence companies today view it as a crucial problem of strategic importance (Axsäter, 2015). Managing inventory is a complex task which can be made even more complex by considering multiple items interacting with each other throughout the supply network. This master thesis attempts to show, through a case stu
