Varje individs rätt till sexuellt självbestämmande och sexuell integritet är utgångspunkten för den svenska gällande sexualbrottslagstiftningen. Avgörande för om en gärning är sexualbrott eller inte blir därför frågan om det finns ett samtycke till en sexuell handling. Trots att självbestämmanderätten är skyddsintresset krävs det i den nuvarande lagstiftningen att gärningsmannen använt sig av tvån

Flyktiga organiska föreningar som släpps ut från växter (BVOC- Biogenic volatile organic compounds) kan ha en stor påverkan på atmosfärisk kemi genom reaktioner som leder till ökad eller minskad ozonproduktion, och genom att de kan vara ett förstadium till aerosoler. De vanligaste flyktiga organiska föreningarna är isopren (2-metyl, 1,3-butadien) och dess derivat, terpener och terpenoider (isoprenBiogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) can have a large affect on atmospheric chemistry by the production or degradation of ozone and by acting as precursors to secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The most common BVOCs are isoprene and its derivatives, terpenes and terpenoids (isoprenoids). These are used by the plant in cell membranes and as steroids, but are also a means of communication and

The Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil or Commercial Matters was adopted on 2 July 2019. The convention has been negotiated within the framework of the Hague Conference on Private International Law, whose purpose is to work for the progressive unification of the rules of private international law. Seeing that a global instrument regarding recognition and en

BackgroundShock is a condition with high mortality even with early intervention and treatment. Usual care for shock and hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED) is intravenous fluid resuscitation which can lead to fluid overload and other complications. When fluid therapy fails or risk of complications are high, the next treatment step is the use of vasopressors for stabilisation. Noradrenalin

Early life air pollution exposure may play a role in development of respiratory infections, but underlying mechanisms are still not understood. We utilized data from two independent prospective birth cohorts to investigate the influence of prenatal and postnatal ambient air pollution exposure of PM2.5, PM10 and NO2 on maternal and child proteomic profiles and the risk of daily diary-registered com

Samhället präglas av digital utveckling som anses medföra stora fördelar. Inom det juridiska området tar primärt EU digitaliseringen i anspråk vid sin verksamhet. Sverige har högt uppsatta digitaliseringsmål men är inte lika lyckade som EU på att lagtekniskt följa med i denna utveckling. Med utgångspunkt i digitaliseringen av samhället utreds i den här uppsatsen huruvida det är möjligt att, utifråSociety is characterized by digital development, which is considered to bring great benefits. In the legal field it is primarily the EU that uses means towards digitalization in its operations. Sweden’s goals for digitalization are high but the country has not been as successful as the EU in staying current with the development judicially. With the digitization of society as its basis, this paper

In 2018 Sweden passed a new sexual offence legislation based on consent. The new law came in effect on 1 July. Due to the new law, the lack of consent is now enough to constitute a sexual offence. The sexual offences affected by the new law are rape, 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken, and sexual abuse 6 kap. 2 § brottsbalken. The interests protected by the sexual offence legislation are the right to self-de

Denna uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av Nordmalings kommun som önskade en djupgående studie av befolkningsminskningen i kommunen. Uppsatsens syfte var att göra en statistisk sammanställning och analys av befolkningen i Nordmalings kommun, för att på så sätt få en överblick på den demografiska utvecklingen. Studien visar att det den 31 december 2008 bodde 7 276 personer i Nordmalings kommun, varav 3

On the 1st of July 2018 Sweden changed the law on sexual assault. The new law meant that the prerequisite that separate sexual assault and legal sexual intercourse was changed. In previous legislation coercion was needed for a perpetrator to be convicted of sexual assault. The new law instead places voluntariness at the center of the court’s assessment. The amendment was preceded by much debate. T

Regleringen på aktiemarknaden grundar sig på tanken att samtliga marknadsaktörer ska behandlas lika och få tillgång till samma information samtidigt. Art. 17 MAR utgör exempel på reglering som syftar till att säkerställa denna likabehandling. Artikeln stadgar skyldighet för noterade bolag att offentliggöra insiderinformation och medger endast undantag under särskilda omständigheter. Övervakningen The regulations in the stock market are based on the idea that all market participants shall be treated equally and get access to the same information simultaneously. Article 17 in MAR constitutes an example of regulation that aims at ensuring equality between the market participants. According to the article, listed companies are obligated to disclose inside information and exceptions are only al

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Thus, the clinical features and outcomes are not well described. Cases of histologically confirmed CNS HL diagnosed between 1995 and 2015 were retrospectively identified in institutional (n = 7), national (n = 2), and cooperative group (n = 1) databases. We screened 30,781 patients with HL in our combined data

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. A characteristic feature of RA is the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA). Since ACPAs are highly specific for RA and are often present before the onset of RA symptoms, they have become valuable diagnostic and prognostic. As a result, several assays for detection of ACPAs exist, which vary in sensitivity a

For a CD8 epitope-based vaccine to match different geographic locations, the targeted epitopes for cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) must be present in the local circulating HIV-1 strains. Secondly, the vaccine epitopes should match the host population HLA types. We characterized two new HIV-1 isolates from Guinea-Bissau. Also, we have identified 15 subdominant CD8 epitopes representing common HLA su

Introduction: Survival in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) has improved dramatically. The result is an ageing population with risk of acquired heart disease. Previous small uncontrolled studies suggested that these patients are protected against the development of atherosclerosis. To test this hypothesis, we sought to determine the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in

Changes in gene regulation and expression govern orderly transitions from hematopoietic stem cells to terminally differentiated blood cell types. These transitions are disrupted during leukemic transformation, but knowledge of the gene regulatory changes underpinning this process is elusive. We hypothesized that identifying core gene regulatory networks in healthy hematopoietic and leukemic cells

PURPOSE: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients.METHODS: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment unti

Heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone that activates oncogenic transformation in several solid tumors, including lung and breast cancers. Ganetespib, a most promising candidate among several HSP90 inhibitors under clinical trials, has entered Phase III clinical trials for cancer therapy. Despite numerous evidences validating HSP90 as a target of anticancer, there are few studies o
