Den 8 november 2024 infördes självständigt förverkande i 36 kap. 5 § brottsbalken (1962:700) (BrB) som en del av en större reform av förverkandelagstiftningen. Förverkandeformen har huvudsakligen motiverats med att det behövs effektiva verktyg för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och neutralisera brottsvinster. Samtidigt rör det sig om ett tvångsingrepp med potentiellt långtgående konse
As the “engine of life”, metabolic rate is one of the most well-studied physiological traits across the animal kingdom. Metabolic rates have been linked to key physiological and life-history traits as well as to large scale ecological processes. For decades, scientists have tried to understand and explain metabolic allometry – the relationship between metabolic rate MR and body mass M (MR = bMa).
Undersökning av inomhusmiljön i Bostadshus i Kurdistan med förslag på förbättringar Av Zahir Rashid Ibrahim Sammanfattning Den varma sommarsäsongen i Kurdistan är mycket lång och omgivningstemperaturen är cirka 45 ˚C. Byggnader kyls ner med luftkonditioneringssystem på sommaren och värms upp med eldrivna eller oljedrivna värmesystem på vintern. Oljedrivna placeras oftast i vardagsrummet Examination of indoor environment in dwellings in Kurdistan with suggestions on improvements By Zahir Rashid Ibrahim Summary The hot summer season in Kurdistan is very long and the ambient temperature is about 45 ˚C. Buildings are cooled by air conditioning systems in the summer and heated with electric or oil-fired heating systems in winter. Oil-driven are usually placed in the living roo
När domstolar beslutar om vilket straff en gärningsman ska få för ett visst brott måste de först bedöma brottets straffvärde. En grundläggande ideologi i det svenska straffsystemet är att straffet ska stå i proportion till brottets svårighetsgrad. Vid beaktandet av straffvärdet ska rättstillämparna enligt 29 kap. 1 § BrB bland annat ta hänsyn till den skada, kränkning eller fara som gärningen inne
Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal har varit en av de yrkesgrupper som först fick vaccinera sig mot covid-19. Smittspridningen inom yrkesgruppen har dock fortsatt varit stor. För att minska smittspridning och trygga patientsäkerheten har regioner i Sverige infört vaccinationskrav för hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal. Med stöd av den rättsdogmatiska metoden utreder uppsatsen följderna beslutet att inte vacci
Reductions in ambient pressure liberates gas in various tissues and can result in decompression illness. In this thesis the patophysiological implications of a blood gas interface resulting from decompression was investigated with reference to the influence on biochemical mediators of inflammation. In a series of experiments, animals and human subjects have been exposed to hyperbaric trauma of dif
Popular Abstract in English Psychotropic pharmaceuticals include various groups of chemicals that have been designed to affect neurochemistry in human consumers resulting in changes in cognition, mood, and/or behavior; many target specific receptors and subsequently alter neurotransmitter levels in the central nervous system. The use of pharmaceuticals by consumers results in the release of these Psychotropic pharmaceuticals have been shown to exert a variety of sublethal effects on non-target organisms, even at low concentrations found in the environment (ng/L to µg/L); hence, the aim of my research has been to determine the individual-level effects of psychotropic pharmaceuticals (the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors sertraline and fluoxetine, and the β-blocker propranolol) on beh
HOXB4 is one of 39 members of the homeobox (HOX) family, a family of transcription factors involved in embryonic development. Several HOX transcription factors, including HOXB4, are highly expressed in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) but are downregulated upon differentiation towards more mature progeny cells. Enforced expression of HOXB4 dramatically increases the regeneration of murine HSC follo
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules present antigenic peptides to CD8+ T cells. The peptides are generated by proteasomes in the cytosol, then translocated across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). Only properly assembled class I molecules loaded with high affinity peptides reach the cell surface. The mat
Pancreatic enzymes, neutrophils, free radicals and cytokines are involved in the pathophysiology of AP. Clarification of their interaction and time-course will improve our understanding of AP and provide a better basis for treatment. 20% will develop severe AP and benefit from improved treatment why an accurate test for prediction of severity is needed. Aims: To investigate the interactions betwee
Many deaths in intensive care units are preceded by decisions to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment. Under what conditions are forgoing life-sustaining treatment considered appropiate, when is it optitional and when is it wrong? Relevant guidelines are essential to help medical decisionmakers, but they cannot be established only from medical knowledge. They also must be related to basi
The small intestine contains a large number of T lymphocytes within the single-layered epithelium that separates the gut lumen from the lamina propria. These intraepithelial T lymphocytes have potent cytolytic and immunoregulatory capacities, thought to be important for fighting infections, neoplastic growth, and sustaining epithelial integrity. This thesis is based on three original articles wit
The investigation of memory distortions provides insights into how memory normally works. Adopting a cognitive neuroscience perspective, the present thesis aimed at investigating memory distortions and the neural correlates of processes contributing to successful control of memory interference in healthy participants. All studies employed variations of the modified continuous recognition task. In
The lack of safe, clean water is strongly linked to poverty, underdevelopment and poor health. Water is needed not only to sustain life, but to produce food and in industrial processes. Anthropogenic pollution and natural events can jeopardize access to safe water. Inorganic pollutants or toxic metal ions such as arsenic and cadmium are of special concern since these are persistent and accumulate
Galactolipids: digalactosyldiglyceride (DGalDG), monogalactosyldiglyceride (MGalDG) and sulfoquinovosyldiglyceride (SQDG) are the major lipid components in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts i.e. the site of photosynthesis in plants. They are the most abundant membrane lipids in nature, and thus important sources of essential fatty acids for herbivores and omnivores. This thesis investigates the
Vasopressin and oxytocin seem to have pivotal roles in the pathophysiology of primary dysmenorrhoea and preterm labour. Prostaglandins are also involved in the regulation of uterine activity with different receptors mediating both stimulation and relaxation. We explored different aspects of synthesis, release and receptor pharmacology of vasopressin and oxytocin. We also tested a vasopressin and o
This thesis deals with the expression, localization and regulation of neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans under normal and experimental conditions. NPY is widely distributed in the mammalian nervous system and belongs to a family of closely related petides also comprising peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). NPY exerts a variety of biological effects, such as s
Bone morphogenic proteins, BMPs, are a group endogenous proteins that are highly conserved through evolution. The amino acid sequences of about 15 different BMPs are now known and recombinant human BMPs are commercially available. Implantation of an individual BMP protein is sufficient to induce bone formation even at a subcutaneous site. Our initial studies discovered inhibition of bone formation
