Skiljeförfarandet är ett eninstansförfarande som syftar till att snabbt och effektivt åstadkomma en slutlig och bindande skiljedom. Av denna anledning kan en skiljedom inte angripas på materiella grunder. Till skillnad från många utländska skiljeförfarandelagar har en part möjlighet att väcka både ogiltighets- och klandertalan mot skiljedomen som helhet eller i viss del, om skiljenämnden har brustArbitration is a single instance procedure aimed at achieving a final and binding award promptly and efficiently. For this reason, an arbitral award cannot be challenged on substantive grounds. Unlike many foreign arbitration laws, a party may bring an action for invalidity or an action to set aside an arbitral award, in whole or in part, if the arbitral tribunal has failed to comply with procedur
In the report “Ökat skydd mot hedersrelaterad brottslighet” (SOU 2018:69), (translation: Increased protection against honor-related crime) which is currently under preparation by the government offices, there is a legislative proposal that children who are at risk of being brought out of the country to enter into marriage or to undergo female genital mutilation should be given a travel ban. In e
Background: Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption have been intensively studied in the general population to assess their effects on the risk of breast cancer, but very few studies have examined these effects in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. Given the high breast cancer risk for mutation carriers and the importance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in DNA repair, better evidence on the associations of the
Introduction: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) after degenerative meniscus tears is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in orthopaedics. Although several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been published that showed no clear benefit compared with sham treatment or non-surgical treatment, the incidence of APM remains high. The common perception by most orthopaedic surgeons i
Background: Precarious employment is a risk factor for poor mental health, particularly among young adults. Knowledge about how young people maintain their mental health while in a precarious employment situation is scarce. The aim of the study was to explore the meaning of precarious employment for young adults in Sweden and their strategies for maintaining good mental health. Methods: In-depth i
I Sverige idag finns det ett ökande antal barn som begår brott i kriminella nätverk. Den organiserade brottsligheten i stort pekas av flera aktörer ut som samhällsfarlig, särskilt av den sittande regeringen. Som del av den nationella strategin att slå tillbaka mot den organiserade brottsligheten gav regeringen en särskild utredare i uppdrag att utreda ett antal stora ändringar på straffrättens omrThere is a growing number of children committing crimes in connection with organized crime in Sweden today. Organized crime is widely identified, especially by the current government, as a danger to society. As part of the national strategy to combat this issue, the government appointed a committee to examine and present proposals for several major reforms in criminal law. In May 2025, the committ
In 2005 the Swedish Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry (LIF) initiated a national environmental classification and information system for pharmaceuticals.

Background and purpose — We have previously reported on the prosthetic survival of total ankle replacements (TAR) in Sweden performed between 1993 and 2010. Few other reports have been published on 5- and 10-year survival rates. Furthermore, there is a lack of long-term outcome data on modern prosthetic designs. Therefore, we compared early and current prosthetic designs after a mean 7-year follow
Workplace-collected blood spots deposited on filter paper were analysed with multiplexed affinity-based protein assays and found to be suitable for proteomics analysis. The protein extension assay (PEA) was used to characterize 92 proteins using 1.2 mm punches in repeated samples collected from 20 workers. Overall, 97.8% of the samples and 91.3% of the analysed proteins passed quality control. Bot
Chronic breathlessness is a dominating symptom that restricts daily life for many people with cardiorespiratory disease [1]. Different dimensions of the symptom, such as the intensity, sensory qualities and emotional responses, can be assessed using the instruments Dyspnea-12 (D-12) [2] and the Multidimensional Dyspnea Profile (MDP) [3], which share similarities in the underlying constructs of wha

Background: Many traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment protocols, including the Lund concept, advocate the highest point of the subarachnoid space (typically the vertex) as the zero-reference point for intracranial pressure (ICP) and the level of the right atrium as the zero-reference point for mean arterial blood pressure (MAP). In 2017, at the Department of Neurosurgery in Lund, Sweden, the zer
Objective: Survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer have an increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS). MetS describes the clustering of cardiovascular risk factors including overweight or obesity, hypertension, (pre)diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. While associated cardiovascular sequelae can be serious, MetS is preventable, manageable, and potentially reversible with the ap
