In recent years, there has been a ‘crackdown’ against environmental defenders across Uganda. Journalists, students, farmers, and rural dwellers are defending the natural environment, protesting and mobilizing against unfair treatment and forced displacements brought by fossil fuel infrastructures, agribusiness, hydropower, or carbon offsetting. This has pitted authorities and large-scale capital a

I maj och juni 2014 genomförde institutionen för arkeologi och antik historia, Lunds universitet, en arkeologisk undersökning vid Kämpinge i Räng sn, Skåne. Undersökningen leddes av Jan Apel och föranleddes av de stora mängder lösfynd från som över åren gjorts inom fornlämningen RAÄ 4:1, Rängs sn. Totalt handgrävdes 22 m2 och 781 fyndposter registrerades. Utöver detta sonderades undersökningsområd

Acute lung injury (ALI) represents an aetiologically diverse form of pulmonary damage. Part of the assessment and diagnosis of ALI depends on skilled observer-based scoring of brightfield microscopy tissue sections. Although this readout is sufficient to determine gross alterations in tissue structure, its categorical scores lack the sensitivity to describe more subtle changes in lung morphology.

Introduction: The Coronavirus 2019 Disease (COVID-19) pandemic reached the Nordic countries in March 2020. Public health interventions to limit viral transmission varied across different countries both in timing and in magnitude. Interventions indicated by an Oxford Stringency Index ≥50 were implemented early (March 13–17, 2020) in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland, and on March 26, 2020 in Swe

Denna europapolitiska analys handlar om den svenska förvaltningsmodellen och hur den fungerar i förhållande till EU-rättsliga krav på oberoende myndigheter. Bakgrunden är att EU:s sekundärrätt ibland kräver att nationella förvaltningsmyndigheter som genomför EU-rätten ska vara oberoende. De tydligaste kraven handlar om tillsynsmyndigheter för dataskydd i allmänna dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR).Den

Background: The assessment of serum neurofilament light chain (sNFL) has emerged as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in monitoring multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the application of periodic measurement in daily practice remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of individual sNFL levels in determining disease activity in patients with relapsing MS (RMS). Methods: In this two-

Punch biopsies are commonly used in dermatology for diagnosing skin diseases. Traditional methods involve the use of forceps, skin hooks, and scissors, which add to health care costs. The technique described here offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative for obtaining specimens.

Sex education can impact pupils’ sexual activity and convey the social norms regarding family formation and responsibility, which can have significant consequences to their future. To investigate the life-cycle effects of social norm transmission, this study draws on the introduction of comprehensive sex education in the curriculum of Swedish primary schools during the 1940s to the 1950s. Inspired

This thesis investigates the question ‘What is knowledge?’ In intuition-based epistemology the question is often considered to concern how ‘knowledge’ is used linguistically or conceptually rather than what knowledge is. In addition, since intuitions are used as evidence despite empirical experiments indicating that people’s intuitions vary a great deal and that little conclusive systematicity can

Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) range maps are widely recognized as authoritative representations of species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area of habitat (AOH) maps, areas that are not habitat have been removed fr

Background and objective: To assess the effect of surgeon sex on short- and long-term outcomes after colon cancer resections. Methods: Clinical data of patients who underwent colon cancer resections between 2010 and 2020 at Helsingborg Hospital, Sweden, were retrospectively obtained from medical records. The sex of the surgeon of each procedure was recorded. Morbidity, mortality, and long-term sur
