Tre fiskgjusar utrustades med sändare innehållande GPS-mottagare inför hösten 2006. Sändarna gav information om fågelns position varje timme under hela flytten från Sverige till Afrika. Data från sändarna användes i den här studien tillsammans med marktäckedata för att ta fram en metod för att undersöka samband mellan landskapet och olika aspekter av flytten. Fiskgjusen förväntades välja en väg so

Introduction Insufficient levels of physical activity are one of the top contributors to global mortality, and it is an important public health priority to increase the proportion of physically active people in the population. The interest in environmental determinants of physical activity has been rapidly increasing over the past few years. However, a majority of the previous literature concerns

Multifunctional buildings are characterized by multiple functions located within the same building. In this report specific problem areas are identified by the means of interviews and previous method development. The risks identified consider multifunctionality and antagonistic attacks. As a result from the previous method developed and the interviews, reference scenarios are suggested and conclus

Background: Low blood levels of vitamin D (25-hydroxy D3, 25OHD3) in women have been associated with an increased risk of several diseases. A large part of the population may have suboptimal 25OHD3 levels but high-risk groups are not well known. The aim of the present study was to identify determinants for serum levels of 25OHD3 in women, i.e. factors such as lifestyle, menopausal status, diet and

The impact of the Rome-oriented "Ultramontanism" on the Catholic world in the nineteenth century helped to reactivate the Counter-Reformational confessionalism and simultaneously functioned as an injection for Catholic missionary work. The stance of the Catholic ecclesiology of the time was that even formally Christian but non-Catholic countries could be regarded as fields for missionising. The Ca

The UPCA for the first time establishes harmonized exceptions and limitations to the effects of granted patent rights. Previously these were the sole province of national law but a with a degree of similarity.This chapter briefly analyses the historical origin, legal nature and scope of Article 27 UPCA, the future harmonizing effect of UPCA patent limitations, followed by a discussion on each limi

Background: The development of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) as a framework for work-based training and assessment in undergraduate medical education has become popular. EPAs are defined as units of a professional activity requiring adequate knowledge, skills, and attitudes, with a recognized output of professional labor, independently executable within a time frame, observable and me

Background: Early prediction of childhood type 1 diabetes reduces ketoacidosis at diagnosis and provides opportunities for disease prevention. However, only highly efficient approaches are likely to succeed in public health settings. We sought to identify efficient strategies for initial islet autoantibody screening in children younger than 15 years. Methods: We harmonised data from five prospecti

Allvarliga tillbud och olyckor inom flygtrafiken är relativt ovanligt, men när de inträffar ställs höga krav på kabinpersonalens förmåga att uppträda auktoritativt och effektivt. Det är dock inte bara vid ett direkt olyckstillbud det ställs stora krav på kabinpersonalens förmåga att hantera kritiska situationer. Det finns en hel flora av incidenter som kräver professionell hantering, t ex när passAlthough serious accidents or near-accidents are relatively rare in airline traffic, when they occur cabin attendants are expected to act effectively and with authority. However, the ability of cabin attendants to intervene professionally is also called for in other critical situations, such as when incidents that are frightening for the passengers occur or when passengers suddenly become ill. The

CONTEXT: Vitamin D (Vit-D), parathyroid hormone (PTH), and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) are the major calciotropic hormones involved in the regulation of blood calcium levels from the intestine, kidney, and bone through a tight endocrine feedback loop system. Altered levels of calcium itself or through the effect of its regulatory hormones could affect blood pressure (BP), but the exact mec

Background: Physical inactivity is a main cause of childhood obesity which tracks into adulthood obesity, making it important to address early in life. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is an evidence-based intervention that has shown good effect on physical activity levels in adults, but has not been evaluated in children with obesity. This project aims to evaluate the prerequisites, determ

Den 13 mars 2014 beslutade regeringen att ge en särskild utredare i uppdrag att se över beskattningen vid ägarskiften i fåmansföretag. Genom ett tilläggsdirektiv kom utredningen även att se över de särskilda skattereglerna för delägare i fåmansföretag. Den 8 juni 2017 utfärdades lagrådsremissen Förändrade skatteregler för delägare i fåmansföretag. Lagrådsremissen innehåller ett flertal förslag somOn March 13th 2014, the government decided to give a special commission the task of reviewing the tax on owner shifts in closely held corporations (Fåmansföretag). By an additional directive the commission came to evaluate the special tax rules for Fåmansföretag, the 3:12-rules, as well. On June 8th 2017, the council on legislation referral was presented as Changed taxation rules for shareholders

Vid utövandet av flera av våra mest populära idrotter utsätts utövarna regelbundet för våld som i ”vanliga” fall skulle utgöra misshandel. Föreningsfriheten och idrottens positiva samhällspåverkan motiverar en, för idrotten, rättslig särställningen. Ur ett straffrättsligt perspektiv innebär denna särställning helt enkelt att våld som sker i samband med organiserad idrottsutövning tillåts i större In the practice of several of our most popular sports, the players are regularly subjected to violent actions that “normally” would constitute assault. The freedom of association and the positive effect sports has on society motivates a special position for the sports movement in the society. From a criminal law perspective, this special position means that violence that occurs in connection with

Uppsatsen behandlar lagen (2017:310) om framtidsfullmakter, dess bakgrund, innehåll och verkningar. Institutet framtidsfullmakt är tänkt att stärka den enskildes möjligheter att styra över sin framtid i fall av försämrad mental kapacitet. Upprättandet av en framtidsfullmakt ska ske då den enskilde har beslutskompetens men träder i kraft först efter att denna kapacitet har gått förlorad till följd This thesis revolves around the law (2017: 310) on continuing powers of attorney; its background, content and effects. The continuing power of attorney is intended to strengthen an individual's ability to control their future in cases of impaired mental capacity. In order to establish a continuing power of attorney, the individual must hold a decision-making competence. However, the act only c

Alléodling – att titta bakåt för att komma framåt Sättet vi odlar på idag är en av de största bidragande orsakerna till de rådande klimatförändringarna. Då ekologiskt jordbruk inte visat sig kunna förhindra denna utveckling tillräckligt och dessutom genererar sämre skördar, är behovet av andra alternativ stort. Många forskare sneglar nu mot metoder som efterliknar traditionellt jordbruk och fördeA transition from conventional to organic agricultural practices has been shown to have positive impacts on soil and ground-living fauna. Organic farming manure is on the other hand harder for the crops to absorb than conventional fertilizers, which results in more pollutants and unsatisfactory yields. This problem is mitigated in alley cropping, an agroforestry practice where rows of trees and bu

Våldtäktslagstiftningen ändrades den första juli 2013 genom införandet av begreppet ”särskilt utsatt situation” som ersatte det dåvarande begreppet ”hjälplöst tillstånd”. Skälet till denna ändring var att begreppet hjälplöst tillstånd hade tillämpats för snävt då det bland annat ställdes för höga krav i praxis för att en person skulle anses befinna sig i ett hjälplöst tillstånd. Dessa brister synt
