En förändringstrend är att den sociala barnavården i Sverige under de senaste decennierna i ökande utsträckning har blivit föremål för ökad privatisering genom att externa konsulter tas in i utredningsarbetet av barn och unga för att ta ställning till deras eventuella behov av samhälleliga insater. I denna artikel undersöks de rättsliga förutsättningar för denna praktik.
Symptoms of vestibular dysfunction such as dizziness and vertigo are common following sports-related concussions (SRC) and associated with a worse outcome and a prolonged recovery. Vestibular dysfunction following SRC can be due to an impairment of the peripheral or central neural parts of the vestibular system. The aim of the present study was to establish the cause of vestibular impairment in SR
The pandemic put all underlying structural problems about the living conditions of older persons in Europe on display. The inadequate protection afforded to older persons during this crisis reflects the weak position of this group. Additionally, the growing ageing population in EU entails an urgent challenge to the union. In this chapter, I argue for what policies the EU needs to implement to ensu

A key policy question is whether continued expansion of university education is beneficial for the marginally eligible student. In this paper we exploit an arbitrary university eligibility rule combined with regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of university attendance on healthcare utilization amongst young adults in Sweden. We find that the eligibility rule leads to a cl
The establishment of profitable European settler agriculture overseas has received considerable scholarly attention. Much of this literature focus on the ‘New World’ and the European off-shoots. It is generally argued that the golden age of these settler societies were 1870 to 1913. A globalization wave gave the settler farmers access to migrant labour and global markets. By contrast, Europeansett
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered good candidates in replacing commercial petrochemical plastics in certain applications like single-use packaging since they are biodegradable, biocompatible and share similar properties with conventional plastics. PHA synthase (PhaC) is the key enzyme in PHA biosynthesis. There are four classes of PhaC, namely, class I, class II, class III and class IV,
Mutations in either mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) or nuclear genes that encode mitochondrial proteins may lead to dysfunctional mitochondria, giving rise to mitochondrial diseases. Some mitochondrial myopathies, however, present without a known underlying cause. Interestingly, methylation of mtDNA has been associated with various clinical pathologies. The present study set out to assess whether mtDNA
Therapeutic strategies directed at the tumor surfaceome (TS), including checkpoint inhibitor blocking antibodies, antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, provide a new armament to fight cancer. However, a remaining bottleneck is the lack of strategies to comprehensively interrogate patient tumors for potential TS targets. Here, we have developed a platform (
Bartonella henselae is the causative agent of cat scratch disease and other clinical entities such as endocarditis and bacillary angiomatosis. The life cycle of this pathogen, with alternating host conditions, drives evolutionary and host-specific adaptations. Human, feline, and laboratory adapted B. henselae isolates often display genomic and phenotypic differences that are related to the express
Traffic on railways is increasing and this makes train traffic to be highly interconnected . This paper investigates how passing of train affects dwell time delays in Sweden. Three scenarios are considered by combining the scheduled and actual operations: passes that happened as scheduled, unscheduled passes that happened in operations, and scheduled passes that were cancelled. A logistic regressi
This study investigates how the volume and flow of passengers affect dwell times, usingdata from commuter trains in Stockholm. We show that dwell times often take longer thanscheduled and that most station stops involve rather limited numbers of passengers.Improving the performance at these stops with small volumes can thus have a sizeableimpact on the overall on-time performance. We find a quadraThis study investigates how the volume and flow of passengers affect dwell times, using data from commuter trains in Stockholm.
