Before the flight, each individual is a human being with a role and a place in the structure of society. After the flight, she suddenly finds herself in an unknown community, after having lost her land, her culture, family, friends and identity. The purpose of this essay was to try to give a backdrop of

En grundläggande utgångspunkt enligt svensk lag, är att barn har rätt till umgänge med den förälder som barnet inte bor tillsammans med – men hur värnas denna rätt? Barn är omyndiga och har ingen legal möjlighet att väcka talan vid domstol i dessa ärenden. Enligt domstolsverket avgjordes dock cirka 3000 fall år 2009 avseende vårdnad, boende och umgänge vid domstolarna i landet. Närmare en halv m

Den första januari 2013 trädde Sveriges nya lag om bemanningsarbete i kraft. Lag (2012:854) om uthyrning av arbetstagare är en implementering av Europeiska unionens direktiv 2008/104/EG om arbetstagare som hyrs ut av bemanningsföretag. Bemanningsdirektivet skapades för att skydda arbetstagare som hyrs ut av bemanningsföretag och för att förbättra kvaliteten i det arbete som utförs. Syftet ska uppn

The vast majority of the biofuels presently used in the EU are so called first generation biofuels produced from crops. Concerns of food security, displacement of food crop production and indirect land use change (iLUC) has led to the introduction of measures to reduce the use of first generations biofuels and promote so called advanced biofuels based on feedstock that does not compete with food/f

We have developed a lymphoproliferative disorder screening tube (LPD-ST) with the aim to provide comprehensive immunophenotyping of lymphocyte subsets with minimal need for additional testing. The LPD-ST consists of CD4/kappa FITC, CD8/lambda PE, CD3/CD14ECD, CD38PC5.5, CD20/CD56PC7, CD10APC, CD19APC-A700, CD5APC-A750, CD57/CD23PB and CD45KO. The LPD-ST was validated against previously used lympho

There is an assumption in current landscape preference theory of universal consensus in human preferences for moderate to high openness in a natural landscape. This premise is largely based on empirical studies of urban Western populations. Here we examine for the first time landscape preference across a number of geographically, ecologically and culturally diverse indigenous populations. Included

Purpose: Packaging adds weight and volume to food products, thereby increasing the environmental impact of transport processes. This research examines the relative importance of transport efficient packaging in food supply chains that rely on road transport compared to other environmental requirements, such as packaging material minimization and food waste reduction.Design/methodology/approach: Sc

A negative educational gradient has been found for many causes of death. This association may be partly explained by confounding factors that affect both educational attainment and mortality. We correct the cause-specific educational gradient for observed individual background and unobserved family factors using an innovative method based on months lost due to a specific cause of death re-weighted

Background: Functional polymorphisms of the solute carrier family 22, member 4 (SLC22A4), runt related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) and small ubiquitin- like modifier 4 (SUMO4) genes have been shown to be associated with several autoimmune diseases. Objective: To test the possible role of these variants in susceptibility to or severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), on the basis that com

Background: Patients and physicians both play an important role in the diagnosis of malignant melanoma. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess important factors of delay in diagnosis at different centers and on three continents. Methods: Between October 2001 and October 2002, patients with histologically confirmed invasive melanoma were included in the study and given an established qu
