Glacial-interglacial variations in CO 2 and methane in polar ice cores have been attributed, in part, to changes in global wetland extent, but the wetland distribution before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka to 18 ka) remai

The continuously increasing solid waste generation worldwide calls for management strategies that integrate concerns for environmental sustainability. By quantifying environmental impacts of systems, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool, which can contribute to answer that call. But how, where and to which extent has it been applied to solid waste management systems (SWMSs) until now, and which l

Human aquaporin 10 (hAQP10) is an aquaglyceroporin that assists in maintaining glycerol flux in adipocytes during lipolysis at low pH. Hence, a molecular understanding of the pH-sensitive glycerol conductance may open up for drug development in obesity and metabolically related disorders. Control of hAQP10-mediated glycerol flux has been linked to the cytoplasmic end of the channel, where a unique

Dopamine receptor D1 modulates glutamatergic transmission in cortico-basal ganglia circuits and represents a major target of L-DOPA therapy in Parkinson’s disease. Here we show that D1 and metabotropic glutamate type 5 (mGlu5) receptors can form previously unknown heteromeric entities with distinctive functional properties. Interacting with Gq proteins, cell-surface D1-mGlu5 heteromers exacerbated

Background Studies from low-income countries have suggested that diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) vaccine provided after Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination may have a negative effect on female survival. The authors examined the effect of DTP in a cohort of low birthweight (LBW) infants. Methods 2320 LBW newborns were visited at 2, 6 and 12 months of age to assess nutritional and vaccinati

In the Swedish legal system there is limited responsibility for failure to hinder other people´s criminal acts. As of July 1st of 2016 there is a new paragraph in the 6th section of the 23rd chapter of the Swedish Penal Code. It was introduced in order to be able to keep leaders of organized crime responsible for the crimes that are, with them knowing, taking place within the organization. During

On July 1st 2018 the Swedish legislation concerning rape was changed. The line between legal sexual intercourse and illegal sexual assault was moved from coercion to voluntariness. The debate prior to the amendment of the law has partly concerned how the legal process in the courts would be affected by this change. It has been pointed out that there will be difficulties regarding evidence and that

On the 18th of July 2019, the government appointed an inquiry to evaluate whether or not honour crime should be appointed as a classification of a crime in the penal code. The appointed inquiry was named SOU 2020:57 Ett särskilt hedersbrott. The proposed Government Bill would mean that multiple honour crimes under specific circumstances could be assessed collectively. This would result in a strict

Sammanfattning Debatten om påverkan av masskultur är en debatt som vägrar att dö. Samtalet har cirklat kring allt från hur läsandet av dålig litteratur skulle leda till sämre läsförståelse, till 70-80 talets videovålds-debatt. Idag fokuserar detta samtal på tv- och datorspels påverkan på spelarna. Vi har intresserat oss för vad det är som idag sägs bakom de omedelbara argumenten i detta samtal. I

Background: The clinical meaningfulness of the effects of recently approved disease-modifying treatments (DMT) in Alzheimer’s disease is under debate. Available evidence is limited to short-term effects on clinical rating scales which may be difficult to interpret and have limited intrinsic meaning to patients. The main value of DMTs accrues over the long term as they are expected to cause a delay

OBJECTIVE: This study utilized the evidence-gap map method and critically examined the scope, methodologies, and focus of the studies that investigated the influence of the built environment on inpatient healthcare settings over a decade (2010-2021).METHODS: We conducted a systematic review per the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines and surveyed 406 artic

To ensure that cities and urban ecosystems support human wellbeing and overall quality of life we need conceptual frameworks that can connect different scientific disciplines as well as research and practice. In this perspective, we explore the potential of a traits framework for understanding social-ecological patterns, dynamics, interactions, and tipping points in complex urban systems. To do so

On the 25th of July 2013, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) held Sweden responsible for violating Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the convention regarding a sale of the applicant’s home and ensuing eviction due to an en- forceable debt. This paper examines the relations between the Swedish debt enforcement and the ECHR, with t

Rape as a weapon of war in armed conflicts is one of the history’s great silences. It was not until the 1990’s, through the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR), that the international community explicitly recognized rape as a crime against humanity. The International Criminal Court, ICC, was established on 1 July 2002. However, it was not until 201

Uppsatsens syfte är att ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv undersöka frivillighetsrekvisitet i 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken. Först genom att undersöka hur lagstiftaren be-skrivit rekvisitet i förarbetena och lagtexten för att sedan analysera hovrättsdomar som tillämpat det. Detta för att avgöra om kritiken gällande oförutsebarheten i lagstiftningen varit befogad. Diskussionen om frivillighet kom på allvaThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the requirement of consent in chapter 6 section 1 of the Swedish Criminal Code (brottsbalken, SFS 1962:700) from a legal security perspective. First by examining how the legislator described the requirement in the legislative history and in the text of the law and thereafter by analyzing court cases where the requirement has been applied. This is to decide

Att köpa sexuella tjänster har varit brottsligt i Sverige sedan 1999. Även om kriminaliseringen i förarbetena delvis motiverades med att prostitution är skadligt för individerna som befinner sig i situationen så är det inte, åtminstone inte tydligt, ett brott mot person. Samtidigt finns det personer med erfarenhet av att sälja sex som vittnar om utsatthet och övergrepp inom prostitutionen, något sBuying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. Although the criminalization in the preparatory work was partly motivated by the fact that prostitution is harmful to the individuals who are in the situation, it is not, at least not clear, a crime against an individual. At the same time, there are people with experience of selling sex that tells about their experiences, showing that a
