Objectives: A single nucleotide polymorphism in the NCF1 gene (NCF1-339, rs201802880), encoding NADPH oxidase type II subunit NCF1/p47phox, reducing production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is strongly associated with the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study aimed at characterising NCF1-339 effects on neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, type I interferon acti
Importance: Breast cancer screening guidelines acknowledge the need for earlier screening for women at increased risk but provide limited guidance for women with a family history of breast cancer. A risk-adapted starting age of screening for relatives of patients with breast cancer may help supplement current screening guidelines. Objective: To identify the risk-adapted starting age of breast canc
Background: Given that unwanted hair growth (hirsutism, hypertrichosis) can cause major psychological distress, new pharmacological treatment strategies with safe and effective hair growth inhibitors that do not destroy the hair follicle (HF) and its stem cells need to be developed. Objectives: To establish if osteopontin-derived fragments may modulate human hair growth given that human HFs expres
The use of pesticides has caused pollution of surface and groundwater, soil and air across the world. Many pesticides cause health effects in humans. General populations are exposed to some degree and diet is reported to be a main source of exposure. It is important to study exposure and exposure-effect relationships in occupational groups and in general populations. For such studies, good methods
Background: The differential diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and Lewy body disorders, which include Parkinson disease and dementia with Lewy bodies, is often challenging due to the overlapping symptoms. Purpose: To develop a diagnostic tool based on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to distinguish between PSP and Lewy body disorders at the individual-subject level. Materials and Met
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Evidence that glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and/or the GIP receptor (GIPR) are involved in cardiovascular biology is emerging. We hypothesised that GIP has untoward effects on cardiovascular biology, in contrast to glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), and therefore investigated the effects of GIP and GLP-1 concentrations on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality r
Since the 19th century, urban lawns have gradually taken center stage to become one of the main sources of greening in many cities around the world. The current published research on planting technology, maintenance techniques, the impact of lawn maintenance, preferences for manicured lawns and the biodiversity protection for historical lawns as topics, has developed and increased over time.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a health condition that forms clots in the body, ranking among the three most common diseases that cause death. Anticoagulants are prescribed as a therapy for three to six months, depending on the patient’s risk factors. However, some incidents of VTE are described as unprovoked, where there is no risk factor. In these cases, it is assumed that there is a genetic pr
Denna uppsats undersöker den rättshistoriska utvecklingen och den nutida funktionen av riksdagens ombudsmäns tillsyn över försvarsväsendet, med särskild inriktning mot begränsning och inskränkning av grundläggande fri- och rättigheter för totalförsvarspliktiga. Uppsatsen undersöker hur begränsning av olika typer av fri- och rättigheter har reglerats och tillämpats sedan 1915 och vilka skäl som legThis essay examines the legal-historical development and contemporary function of the Parliamentary Ombudsman's supervision of the defence establishment, with particular focus on the limitation and restriction of fundamental rights and freedoms for those under total defence obligations, mainly conscripts. The essay investigates how the limitation of various types of rights and freedoms has bee
Principen pacta sunt servanda – avtal ska hållas – är en central utgångspunkt inom förmögenhetsrätten. I vissa situationer kan dock en strikt tillämpning av principen leda till otillfredsställande resultat. Avtalslagen innehåller därför bestämmelser som gör det möjligt att ingripa mot avtal som tillkommit eller fått sitt innehåll bestämt under omständigheter som rättsordningen inte bör godta. I deThe principle of pacta sunt servanda – agreements must be kept – is central to private law. In certain situations, however, a strict application of this principle may lead to unsatisfactory results. The Contracts Act therefore allows contracts to be challenged where they have been concluded, or where their content was determined, under circumstances that the legal order should not accept.

Inom svensk rätt utgör tvångsvård ett komplement till frivilliga insatser. Med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) kan staten, i syfte att skydda barn och unga i utsatta livssituationer, ingripa när samtycke inte kan erhållas. Ett sådant omhändertagande kan enligt 3 § LVU motiveras av att den unge uppvisar ett socialt nedbrytande beteende som innebär en påtagli
Floods are considered the most frequent type of natural disaster, causing immense damage to human life, infrastructure, and the economy globally. Due to climate change and urbanization, the negative impacts of pluvial flooding in particular are expected to increase in the future. To reduce these impacts and support risk management and adaptation, comprehensive flood risk assessments are required t
Background Artificial intelligence (AI)-based computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have demonstrated clinically significant performance in mammographic screening in both retrospective and prospective studies. However, the role of AI in early cancer detection requires further evaluation. Purpose To demonstrate how AI scores in individuals diagnosed with breast cancer may increase up to 10 years b
