Med vilken rätt till skydd? - Om synen på sexuella trakasserier i arbetslivet, tystnadskultur och arbetsgivarens roll vid skapandet av schyssta arbetsplatser

Under hösten 2017 rasade det så kallade #metoo-uppropet i Sverige, och vittnesmål efter vittnesmål gavs bilden av hur sexuella trakasserier förekommer i tysthet på våra arbetsplatser. Diskussionen, som alltjämt pågår om än med lägre intensitet, har sagts kunna komma att utgöra ett paradigmskifte för vad som ska anses vara ett accepterat beteende på arbetsplatsen, och att det skulle vara svårt att

Hans Brask. En senmedeltida biskop och hans tankevärld

This thesis deals with Hans Brask, Bishop of Linköping 1513–1527. Earlier research about Brask has dealt with the political events, his diocesan administration and finances. I study Brask’s episcopal role in a cultural-historical context. The primary source materials are his letters. I analyse Brask’s religious, political and ethnical concepts. I study his actions in order to understand his though

Case history discourse. A rhetoric of troublesome youngsters and faceless treatment

In numerous social control settings, staff routinely write case histories on clients to assist colleagues and authorities in treatment decisions. In this article, we examine how such institutional writing constructs ‘working versions’ of youngsters, portraying their objects of care as personally troublesome. Simultaneously, the institution is portrayed as facelessly, uniformly and collectively rem

Response to Letter to the Editor 'Red cell distribution width in patients with atrial fibrillation'

RDW is a new and easily available risk marker for adverse cardiovascular outcomes and we agree that this may encourage a wider use in clinical practice. As pointed out by Balta et al [2], the underlying causal links are unclear. The causal links could hypothetically involve some of the factors mentioned by Balta et al [2], but also properties of the red cells per se. This article is protected by c

Glutamate dehydrogenase, insulin secretion and Type 2 Diabetes. A new means to protect the pancreatic β-cell?

In this issue of Journal of Endocrinology, Dr Han and colleagues report a protective effect of the glutamate dehydrogenase-activator BCH under diabetes-like conditions that impair β-cell function in both a pancreatic β-cell line and in db/db mice. Based on these observations, the authors suggest that BCH could serve as novel treatment modality in Type 2 Diabetes. The present commentary discusses t

Progesterone metabolite influence feeding behaviour.

Obesity is increasing worldwide and is associated with increased risk of developing metabolic diseases. One of the factors that have been demonstrated to influence the regulation of appetite and food intake is the different sex hormones, one of these being progesterone that in humans increase food intake (Hirschberg, 2012). In this issue of Acta Physiologica, Holmberg and colleagues present their

Devising a best practice approach to prophylaxis in boys with severe haemophilia: evaluation of current treatment strategies

Data from prospective studies clearly demonstrate the efficacy of prophylactic treatment of haemophilia in reducing joint- or life-threatening bleeding and the associated consequences for quality of life. Debate remains, however, regarding the optimal implementation of prophylaxis. Our aim in this review was to identify a best practice approach to factor replacement prophylaxis in boys with haemop

Narrowband ultraviolet B three times per week is more effective in treating vitamin D deficiency than 1600 IU oral vitamin D-3 per day: a randomized clinical trial

Background It is known that narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) radiation and oral vitamin D-3 supplementation can both improve serum levels of vitamin D, expressed as 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 [25(OH)D-3]. However, surprisingly few studies have compared the effects of the two interventions in treating vitamin D deficiency. Objectives To compare the effect of NB-UVB exposure with oral vitamin D-3 supple
