Barn och unga som enlig LVU är placerade på särskilda ungdomshem befin-ner sig i en särskilt utsatt situation. Utöver de särskilda befogenheter som ut-tryckligen regleras i LVU och som inskränker barnens grundläggande rättig-heter, används i praktiken även åtgärden fasthållning. Denna åtgärd är inte reglerad i LVU som särskild befogenhet men används ofta i samband med eller i stället för avskiljniChildren and young people who, according to the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (the Act), are placed in special residential homes are in a particularly vulnerable state. In addition to the special authorities express-ly regulated by law, which restrict the fundamental rights of children, the measure of physical restraint is also used in practice. This measure is not regulated in th

INTRODUCTION: Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder (CTD) are neurodevelopmental disorders associated with functional impairment and reduced quality of life. Behavioral therapy (BT) is an effective treatment, but lack of experienced practitioners makes it hard for patients to receive appropriate help. One approach to bridge the gap between demand and availability is to off

Laminins are basement membrane components that regulate a plethora of biological processes. Despite decades of research, the exact roles of laminins in different tissues and in organogenesis remain to be elucidated. Here, we investigated the function of laminin γ1 chain in heart, lung and other tissues by generating a mouse that lacks laminin γ1 in cells expressing SM22α (Tagln) (LMγ1 flox/SM22α C

Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections and bladder distension are common and preventable adverse events. This study presents a process evaluation of a bladder bundle, designed to change healthcare professionals’ way of thinking and acting to prevent these adverse events, using theories of organizational culture, leadership, and an integrated knowledge translation approach. Aim: T

Background: Physical activity (PA) in childhood is critical for establishing a healthy lifestyle across the lifespan, particularly to treat and prevent obesity. This study aimed to explore PA and sedentary behaviour (SED) in 6–12-year-old children with obesity and their parents, and possible associations in these behaviours between children and parents. Methods: Children referred to outpatient pae

OBJECTIVES: The Sepsis-3 definition states the clinical criteria for sepsis but lacks clear definitions of the underlying infection. To address the lack of applicable definitions of infection for sepsis research, we propose new criteria, termed the Linder-Mellhammar criteria of infection (LMCI). The aim of this study was to validate these new infection criteria.DESIGN: A multicenter cohort study o

Background: The increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) associated with family history of both colorectal in situ or invasive carcinomas (Stage 0 to IV) and colorectal polyps is attributed solely to family history of CRC, resulting in an underestimation of the actual risk. We aimed to assess the association between overall and early-onset CRC (EOCRC) risk and family history of both colorectal ca

The effects of modern economic systems have put extensive pressure on the environment and society, both for this and future generations. Sustainable Development (SD) may offer the solution of pursuing development while ensuring the preservation of economic, environmental and social aspects for present and future generations. Throughout the centuries, universities and their faculty members have se

Sammanfattning Den här undersökningen handlar om hur svenska massmedier, i det här fallet dags- och kvällstidningar, framställer våldtäkt i sin nyhetsrapportering. Artiklarna är utvalda från två olika fall som blev omskrivna i svensk press. Utifrån bland annat filosofen Michel Foucaults diskursteori och med ett socialkonstruktivistiskt och genusviklat perspektiv analyseras en rad artiklar med hjä

Background: Saturated fat (SFA) has consistently been shown to increase liver fat, but the response appears variable at the individual level. Phenotypic and genotypic characteristics have been demonstrated to modify the hypercholesterolemic effect of SFA but it is unclear which characteristics that predict liver fat accumulation in response to a hypercaloric diet high in SFA. Objective: To identif

Pesticide use in agricultural landscapes creates environmental contamination that is heterogenous in space and time. Mobile organisms, such as bees, are exposed to multiple contamination sources when visiting patches that vary in the amount, timing and toxicity of pesticides used. Yet, environmental risk assessments (ERA) typically fail to consider this heterogeneity, in part because of the comple

Berggrunden i sydvästra Sverige består av bergarter som deformerades och metamorfoserades under den Svekonorvegiska kontinent kollisionshändelsen. Den så kallade ”Sveconorwegian Frontal Deformation Zone” norr om Vättern och Protoginzonen söder därom anses utgöra den östligaste gränsen för Svekonorvegisk omarbetning. Söder om Vättern är Protoginzonen en 20-30 km bred N-S deformationszon. Fortsättni
