Objective: A disturbed glucose metabolism has been observed in patients with aggressive behaviour. Interleukin (IL)-1β is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that can induce hypoglycaemia, but has also been suggested to be involved in the generation of hostility and aggression. Our group has previously shown an altered glucose metabolism in patients with self-inflicted aggressive behaviour. We investigat

One of the more difficult ethical questions from a public decision-making perspective is whether the estimation of benefits from risk reducing projects should be influenced by factors such as age groups and risk domains. For example, should a project that saves the lives of elderly people be assigned a more different benefit value in cost-benefit analyses than one that saves the same number of chi

Background: Prevention and treatment of medical issues are the main task of a health service at a youth camp. However, only few reports about organisation and implementation of camp health care are available. This makes it difficult for future camp directors to plan and estimate the health care needed for a certain camp size. We summarize the experience in planning and running health care for the

Objective. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease, which if untreated can lead to cirrhosis and hepatic failure. The aim of the study was to investigate the incidence, prevalence, diagnostic tradition and clinical initial presentation of AIH. Material and methods. Analyses were performed in 473 patients identified as having probable or definite AIH. Results. The incidence of AIH was

Geothermal energy is classified as a renewable energy source and it utilizes the heat generated in the earth primarily from the natural radioactive decay of isotopes of uranium, thorium and potassium. Heat is extracted from the earth to generate geothermal energy via a carrier, usually water occurring either in the liquid or steam phase. In the late 19th century and the early 20th century, the fir

Replicated, factorial mesocosm experiments were conducted across Europe to study the effects of nutrient enrichment and fish density on macrophytes and on periphyton chlorophyll a (chl-a) with regard to latitude. Periphyton chl-a densities and plant decline were significantly related to nutrient loading in all countries. Fish effects were significant in a few sites only, mostly because of their co

Understanding the responses of tundra systems to global change has global implications. Most tundra regions lack sustained environmental monitoring and one of the only ways to document multi-decadal change is to resample historic research sites. The International Polar Year (IPY) provided a unique opportunity for such research through the Back to the Future (BTF) project (IPY project #512). This a

Denna uppsats ger en överblick av rättsläget beträffande möjligheten att kvittningsvis utnyttja en specialpreskriberad fordran. Reglerna som styr preskription och kvittning är till antalet inte många. Kvittningsinstitutet är endast i ringa utsträckning lagreglerat och prejudikaten är få. Jag har i den här uppsatsen undersökt huruvida kvittning av en specialpreskriberad fordran kan ske och om det äThis essay provides an overview over the legal position regarding the possibility to use a special limited receivable in order to make a set-off. Only a small number of legal rules are governing civil limitation and set-off. The Offsetting Institute is only slightly regulated by law and the precedents are few. This essay examines whether a set-off of a special limited receivable can be made and if

Föräldrabalkens 6 kap 2a§ stadgar att barnets bästa skall vara avgörande för alla beslut om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Barnets bästa är en princip som återfinns i såväl nationell lagstiftning som internationella dokument. Innebörden av principen om barnets bästa är inte uttryckligen definierad. Vad som är bäst för barnet avgörs utifrån en bedömning av förhållandena i det enskilda fallet. I såväl

Den 1 januari år 2004 infördes i svensk rätt möjligheten att bilda tredimensionella fastigheter. Detta innebar en stor principiell förändring i svensk fastighetsrätt. Från att som tidigare endast kunna avgränsas i markplanet kan en fastighet nu bestå av en sluten volym, en tredimensionell fastighet. En förutsättning för att bilda en tredimensionell fastighet är att det står klart att åtgärden är

Sammanfattning En arbetsgivare kan i svensk och engelsk rätt bli ålagd ansvar för annans vållande. I svensk rätt kallas denna lära för principalansvar och stadgas i 3:1 SkL. I den engelska rätten kallas ansvar för annans vållande för vicarious liability och principen om en arbetsgivares ansvar har etablerats i praxis. Ansvaret kan ses som strikt i den mening att en arbetsgivare själv inte måste ha

Metal contamination of lakes can bring negative effects to aquatic biota, and to the general health of the ecosystem. Urban discharge is a known source of common metals. In cold regions, snow disposal sites further enhances the risk of contaminating recipient lakes, due to accumulation of pollutants. The importance of this source is poorly known and is further investigated in this study. Metal con

The city of Lund updates the handling plan of garden waste with the desire to use it for biogas production. Garden waste works best as biogas substrate when it is separated in two fractions. Today, however, there are no sorting of the residents’ garden waste. The aim of the thesis is to explore how private households can sort out a fraction of garden waste that can be used to produce biogas. First
