ABSTRACT: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease with a heritability of 60%. Genetic contributions to RA are made by multiple genes, but only a few gene associations have yet been confirmed. By studying animal models, reduced capacity of the NADPH-oxidase (NOX) complex, caused by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in one of its components (the NCF1 gene), has been found to
One of the target goals for sustainable development is the reduction of maternal mortality, which is a big health issue in some countries. Even if the research on maternal health care has come far and with the right expertise and supplies, almost all maternal deaths would be preventable. A working force to reduce the issues within maternal mortality in many countries are non-governmental organizat
Den svenska avtalslagen, med tillhörande principer, har existerat i över 100 år. Parallellt med att avtalsrätten stått stadigt har den teknologiska utvecklingen tagit markanta kliv framåt. De metoder för avtalsslut som var i åtanke vid utformandet av lagen är vitt skilda från de metoder som finns tillgängliga i dag. Detta har, än så länge, inte visat sig vara ett större problem. De regler och prinThe Swedish Contracts Act, with accompanying principles, has existed for over 100 years. While the contract law has remained mostly unchanged, the technological development has taken drastic steps forward. The methods for closing contracts that were in mind when forming the Swedish Contracts Act are vastly different from today’s available methods. This has, thus far, not shown to be any larger pro
This paper evaluates the impact of state visits on export flows and the specific role of the head of state based on the five Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. We construct a complete and comprehensive dataset containing all outgoing state visits from the Nordic countries between 1973 and 2022. Our main empirical strategy is to apply a difference-in differences (DiD)
Skolan har en universell brottsförebyggande funktion genom förmedlandet av kunskap och respekt för demokratiska värderingar, som formar eleverna till ansvarskännande medborgare. Elever som går i skolan är enligt forskning mindre benägna att begå brott. Därför har skolan tillsammans med polis och socialtjänst i uppdrag att få elever att delta i utbildning och förhindra dem från att utveckla krimine
Information and communication technology has emerged significantly over the past two decades. The ever-growing trade and monetization of digital encounters are likely to extend technology even more in the upcoming decades. Recent technological developments have brought various advantages worldwide, such as effective communication, increased production, and artificial intelligence, which can solve
The aim of this study is to examine professionals´ attitudes toward intellectually disabled people wanting to become parents in housing with special services for adults. The study also highlights how the professional´s response to such situations and what difficulties it may lead to. Nine individual interviews have been carried out with residential staff, which means that the study was based on a
Inom identitetsforskning finns det olika definitioner av identitet. För att få en djupare förståelse för begreppet identitet, har jag valt att undersöka hur kosovoalbaner förhåller sig till sin identitet i ett svenskt samhälle. De empiriska uppgifterna samlades in genom kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Min analys baserades på begreppen identitet, tillhörighet och kultur. Baserat på det e
This study aims to examine how support persons at anonymous support chat services describe their role in conversations with children who are abused by relatives and how they use their discretion to fulfil this role. Semistructured interviews were made with five support persons working at different anonymous support chats in Sweden. The analysis of data was guided by an interactionist perspective a
With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative
PET waste is the most visible environmental threat in the Maldives, a Small Island Developing State (SIDS). The thesis aims to propose the deposit refund system as a policy intervention, and evaluates the feasibility of introducing the system in the Maldives. In order to see how other SIDS have implemented the policy, the research uses policy evaluation framework to analyse the implementation mech
Today, the concept of sustainability is central in several housing projects, not to mention the many other socio-technological projects for which the concept is a directive. In this study I problematize the relation of the paradigm of sustainable development to one of its main “pillars”, the social dimension, and how this can relate to the greatest challenge of our generation – climate change. As
Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene
Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The
I Sverige har alla rätt till skydd av personuppgifter, rätt att ta del av allmänna handlingar och yttrandefrihet. Rättigheterna skyddas av såväl våra nationella grundlagar som av EU:s primärrätt och EKMR. Det är dock inte ovanligt att det uppstår situationer där dessa rättigheter ställs emot varandra. Exempel på sådana situationer är när en enskild begär att dennes personuppgifter tas bort från enEveryone in Sweden has the right to protection of personal data, the right to access public documents, and freedom of expression. These rights are protected by our national constitution, EU primary law, and the European Convention on Human Rights. However, it is not uncommon for situations to arise where these rights conflict each other. Such an example is when an individual requests that their pe
Adults with a history of substance abuse constitute a marginalized group whose experiences of contact with social services are rarely highlighted in research. This study aimed to explore how clients with prior substance abuse problems experience the treatment they received within the social services’ unit for financial assistance and housing, and how such treatment influences their openness to rec
Mat är väsentligt för människan och är även en stor del av hennes kultur. Då mat är en så stor del av människans vardag så är det inte konstigt att det även förekommer i det innehåll hon publicerar på sociala medier som Instagram. Vi har myntat begreppet slampig matlagning som innefattar det matinnehåll på internet som likt food porn enbart ska konsumeras med ögonen. Till skillnad från food porn,
Efter mål C-484/19, Lexel, uppdagades en diskussion om hur Sverige kunde formulera riktade ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som är förenliga med etableringsfriheten. Det resulterade i ett förslag som publicerades den 31 maj 2024: SOU 2024:37. Förslaget innefattar en ny bestämmelse där företag får göra avdrag för räntekostnader för ett gränsöverskridande, koncerninternt skuldförhållande om parterna hFollowing case C-484/19, Lexel, a discussion emerged on how Sweden could formulate targeted interest deduction limitation rules compatible with the freedom of establishment. This resulted in a report published on 31 May 2024: SOU 2024:37. The report proposes a new provision whereby cross-border, intra-group debt situations may deduct interest expenses if they would have been entitled to intra-grou
This study aimed to examine how Swedish courts consider children’s opinions in custody cases relative to their age and maturity, following Sweden’s 2020 implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Specifically referring to UNCRC articles 3 and 12. The results of this study are based on a qualitative text analysis of court custody cases, in which we’ve aimed
