Urine-metanephrines are used in the screening for pheochromocytomas in patients with adrenal incidentalomas, but their potential as markers for mortality in patients with adrenal adenomas has not been studied. A retrospective cohort study was designed to investigate if urine-metanephrines were associated with mortality in patients with adrenal adenomas. Participants where consecutively included be
Goodwill som fenomen kan verka vara allmänt känt, men ur juridiskt perspektiv finns det många frågetecken. - Vad är egentligen goodwill som immateriell rättighet? - Hur skyddas goodwill för varumärken? - Finns det några rättigheter som ser till att man äger ”sin” goodwill och hur långt sträcker sig dessa rättigheter? I dagens samhälle i Sverige och runt om i EU verkar det finnas ett hål i lagst
Stadsutvecklingen i Storstockholm är avgörande för att staden ska kunna tillgodose alla människors behov såväl nu som på lång sikt. En viktig hållpunkt för att klara av en snabb och fungerande stadsutveckling är begreppet hållbar utveckling, som omfattas av ekologisk, social samt ekonomisk hållbarhet. Inom Svensk stadsbyggnad har hållbarhetsdebatten på senare tid gjort utrymme för ökat fokus på so
Äganderätten vilar på ensamrätten att förfoga över sitt verk. Upphovsrätten ska skydda rättighetshavare och beivra intrång. Upphovsrättsintrång är ett angivelsebrott, vilket innebär att behörig rättighetshavare som huvudregel måste ange brottet till åtal. Denna uppsats behandlar intrång i upphovsrätten utifrån ett straffrättsligt perspektiv. Som titeln antyder fokuseras främst på upphovsmannen somOwnership rests on the exclusive rights to dispose of one’s own work. Copyright law intends to protect right holders, and to prosecute cases of infringement. Copyright infringement is an indication crime, meaning the right holder must define the crime to be prosecuted. This thesis addresses copyright infringement from a criminal perspective. As the title suggest, the thesis focuses on the copyrigh
Conducting digital research on the far-right continuum (covering a broad array of actors further to the right from what is generally considered the mainstream right), evokes several serious ethical challenges. This becomes particularly poignant in cases whose research subjects hold illiberal, extreme, and potentially hostile views toward the researcher. In this chapter, we critically reflect on th
According to the Energy Efficiency Directive executed by the European Union, each member state is obliged to set a national target on energy efficiency. This requirement constitutes the basis for governments to formulate policy measures directed towards industrial companies. Such policy measures, along with the demand for cost-effective production to remain competitive on the market, motivates ind
The literature on health dependencies among partners typically ignores diversity of partnership characteristics. One salient example is the ethnic composition. We extend prior work on partnerships and health by investigating how married and cohabiting partners mutually influence each other’s receipt of health-related benefits, focusing on how such correlations vary with the couple’s ethnic composi
Precarious employment (PE) is a well-known social determinant of health and health inequalities. However, as most previous studies have focused on physical and mental well-being, less is known about the social-related outcomes (ie, social precarity) associated with precarious arrangements. This cross-sectional study aims to investigate whether PE is associated with social precarity in a working po
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the variability of erythrocyte volumes. RDW has been associated with incidence of cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanisms for the increased cardiovascular risk are still unclear. This study aimed to examine associations of RDW and coronary atherosclerosis in the general population. Computed tomography was performed and RDW was m
This paper explores the relationship between democratization and economic redistribution using case study analysis applied to Sweden and Brazil. We find that democratization is intimately connected to redistribution through the welfare state, but as an event in itself is neither a necessary nor a sufficient cause of redistributive reforms. Democratization is not strictly necessary, because in anti
