I takt med utbyggnaden av vindkraft har artskydd av fåglar blivit en ofta förekommande fråga i tillståndsprövningarna. I dessa förefaller 4 § artskyddsförordningen medföra tolknings- och tillämpningsproblem. Enligt dess ordalydelse ska bestämmelsen nämligen tillämpas på alla vilda fåglar, oavsett art, samt på vissa djurarter. Bestämmelsen föreskriver bland annat förbud mot att avsiktligt döda och In line with the expansion of wind power projects species protection of birds has become a frequent issue in permit procedures. In this context section 4 of the Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) appears to result in difficulties when interpreted and applied. According to the provision, it should apply to all wild birds, regardless species, and some animal species. The provision stipulates, i

“Garden phlox ‘Alma Jansson’ comes from a smallholding in Roslagen. It has been on the farm at least since 1939 when Stina Jansson moved in. It was her mother-in-law, Alma Jansson, who took care of the plants in the garden. ‘Everything comes from Grandma. She had such beautiful flowers’, said Stina. We do not know where she received or bought this variety, but it was not newly planted in 1939.” Th

Using observational data to assess the treatment effects on outcomes of kidney transplantation relative to dialysis for patients on renal replacement therapy is challenging due to the non-random selection into treatment. This study applied the propensity score weighting approach in order to address the treatment selection bias of kidney transplantation on survival time compared with dialysis for p

Background: Every year, many infants are infected with the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or other agents and need hospitalisation due to bronchiolitis. The disease causes much suffering and high costs. Thus, it is important that the treatment methods are both effective and cost-efficient. The use of different physiotherapy treatment methods is debated, and not all methods are evaluated scienti

Background: Testing for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in blood are widely used and associated with prostate cancer risk and outcome. After puberty, PSA levels increase by age and multiple single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been found to be associated with PSA levels. However, the relationship between the effects of SNPs and age on PSA remains unknown. Methods: To test for SNP × a

Experiencing symptoms after heart transplantation may hamper the heart recipient’s self-management which can lead to negative effects. We know little about symptom occurrence and distress after heart transplantation, especially in relation to sociodemographic variables. The aim of the study was to explore self-reported symptom occurrence and distress after heart transplantation and their relations

Objective: To examine adherence to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in multiple islet autoantibody children in stage 1 of developing type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: Children are followed from birth in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. Completion of an OGTT is recommended every 6 months in children ≥3 years of age who are multiple islet autoantibody positi

Objective: When the delicate balance between catabolic and anabolic processes is disturbed for any reason, the healing process can stall, resulting in chronic wounds. In chronic wound pathophysiology, proteolytic imbalance is implicated due to elevated protease levels mediating tissue damage. Hence, it is important to design appropriate wound treatments able to control and modulate protease activi
