Since 2005 an alien can be granted residence permit if, after an overall assessment of the alien’s situation, there are such exceptionally distressing circumstances that he or she should be allowed to stay in Sweden. In July 2014 a provision came in force which stipulates that children may stay in Sweden if there are particularly distressing circumstances. The purpose of this thesis is to determin

Non-profit associations have since 1st of July 1987 been excluded taxation for valued added tax (VAT). This regulation was introduced following tax reliefs for income tax as the legislator wanted to protect the non-profit associations from excessive fiscal burden and higher costs, being the purpose with the new legislation. After the legislation was put in effect Sweden entered the European Union

Korruption är ett globalt och frekvent förekommande problem. Genom nationella rättsakter med långtgående extraterritoriell jurisdiktion som till exempel amerikanska The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, bekämpas korruption numera på ett gränsöverskridande tillvägagångssätt. Detta medför att företag vid till exempel inträde på en ny marknad omsorgsfullt måste undersöka under vilka lands lagar Corruption is a global problem. Through national legislation with far-reaching extraterritorial jurisdiction such as the U.S. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, fighting corruption has now a transnational approach. This means for example, that companies who will enter a new market must carefully examine, under which countries´ law a company can be considered to have a criminal responsibili

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology. A characteristic feature of RA is the presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA). Since ACPAs are highly specific for RA and are often present before the onset of RA symptoms, they have become valuable diagnostic and prognostic. As a result, several assays for detection of ACPAs exist, which vary in sensitivity a

For a CD8 epitope-based vaccine to match different geographic locations, the targeted epitopes for cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) must be present in the local circulating HIV-1 strains. Secondly, the vaccine epitopes should match the host population HLA types. We characterized two new HIV-1 isolates from Guinea-Bissau. Also, we have identified 15 subdominant CD8 epitopes representing common HLA su

Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare in patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Thus, the clinical features and outcomes are not well described. Cases of histologically confirmed CNS HL diagnosed between 1995 and 2015 were retrospectively identified in institutional (n = 7), national (n = 2), and cooperative group (n = 1) databases. We screened 30,781 patients with HL in our combined data

Introduction: Survival in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) has improved dramatically. The result is an ageing population with risk of acquired heart disease. Previous small uncontrolled studies suggested that these patients are protected against the development of atherosclerosis. To test this hypothesis, we sought to determine the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in

Heat-shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a molecular chaperone that activates oncogenic transformation in several solid tumors, including lung and breast cancers. Ganetespib, a most promising candidate among several HSP90 inhibitors under clinical trials, has entered Phase III clinical trials for cancer therapy. Despite numerous evidences validating HSP90 as a target of anticancer, there are few studies o

PURPOSE: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients.METHODS: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment unti

Changes in gene regulation and expression govern orderly transitions from hematopoietic stem cells to terminally differentiated blood cell types. These transitions are disrupted during leukemic transformation, but knowledge of the gene regulatory changes underpinning this process is elusive. We hypothesized that identifying core gene regulatory networks in healthy hematopoietic and leukemic cells

Barns bevittnande av brott mellan närstående är ett problem som flera gånger diskuterats inom svensk straffrätt. De bevittnande barnen riskerar att påverkas psykiskt och fysiskt på kort såväl som på lång sikt och en kriminalisering av att utsätta barn för ett sådant bevittnande har berörts av lagstiftarna vid flera tillfällen. Lagstiftaren har tidigare inte ansett att en kriminalisering har varit Children witnessing crimes between family members is a problem that has been discussed multiple times in Swedish criminal law. These children can be affected psychologically and physically in both the short and long term, and lawmakers have touched upon criminalizing the exposure of children to this type of behavior several times. Lawmakers previously did not consider criminalization necessary and

Med utgångspunkt i en rättsanalytisk metod syftar denna uppsats till att utreda förhållandet mellan bestämmelsen om grundlagsskadestånd och allmänna principer inom skadeståndsrätten. För att besvara detta, utreds inledningsvis gällande rättsläge kring förutsättningarna för grundlagsskadestånd. Grundlagsskadestånd blir aktuellt när det allmänna, vilket inkluderar staten, regioner och kommuner, öveBy a legal dogmatic method, this thesis intents to investigate the relationship between the provision on constitutional tort and general principles within the law of tort. To answer this, the current legal situation regarding the conditions for constitutional tort is initially examined. Constitutional tort becomes relevant when the public sector, including the state, regions, and municipalities, v

The one who has incurred disgrace upon the community must die. To pre-serve glory is what matters the most within the culture of honour. Since the turn of the millennium there have been about ten noted honour killings in Sweden, and despite everyone who has fought and are fighting against honour-related violence and oppression it still largely occurs to this day. Since July 1st, 2020, the court

The regulation on rape in Sweden has been subject to several major reforms, including the introduction of the requirement of voluntariness on 1st of July 2018. This essay aims to examine the interpretation of the voluntariness re-quirement in cases where the defendant and the plaintiff have a history of pri-or sexual contact. The study mainly focuses on how the courts use infor-mation about the pa

This thesis analyses the 2023 Swedish legislative reform that introduces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of six months for drug dealing, as stipu-lated in the Penal Law on Narcotics Offences (narkotikastrafflagen). The re-form forms part of a broader strategy against gang-related crime and open drug markets, with explicit governmental expectations of greater deterrence, disruption of criminal

The crown witness system was implemented in Sweden on July 1, 2022. The system constitutes under Swedish law as a mitigation of a sentence for suspects who cooperate in the investigation of another's crime. However, its integration into the Swedish penalty system raises questions regarding its coherence. The working hypothesis in the thesis is that the crown witness system does not fit into t

BackgroundShock is a condition with high mortality even with early intervention and treatment. Usual care for shock and hypotension in the Emergency Department (ED) is intravenous fluid resuscitation which can lead to fluid overload and other complications. When fluid therapy fails or risk of complications are high, the next treatment step is the use of vasopressors for stabilisation. Noradrenalin
