Climate change and increasing urbanization pose significant challenges to our urban environment. Urbanization leads to more impermeable surfaces, which, in combination with more rainfall, put communities at risk of flooding due to combined sewer overflows or overloaded drainage systems. To combat urban flooding, natural systems, also called blue-green solutions, can be implemented to mimic the nat
Barn kan tillhandahållas sociala insatser på frivillig eller tvingande väg, genom socialtjänstlagen respektive LVU. Insatserna ska i första hand vidtas på frivil-lig väg och socialnämnden har, i syfte att kunna stödja barn som är i behov av insatser men vars föräldrar inte samtycker till sådana, givits möjlighet att till-handahålla insatser till barn utifrån barnets eget samtycke. Sedan år 2023 kaChildren can be provided social assistance in a voluntary or an imperative manner through the Social Services Act or the Care of Young Persons Act, respectively. The social assistance should primarily be provided in a voluntary manner, and children can, for the purpose of aiding children in the absence of parental consent, be provided social assistance by giving consent through the Social Services
Strandskyddsregleringen har en lång tradition i Sverige med där allt större tyngd har lagts på behovet av att skydda stränderna mot exploatering. I juli 2025 trädde vissa lagändringar i kraft och det pågår en utredning med syfte att undersöka möjligheten till friare lagstiftning. Denna uppsats använder den rättsdogmatiska metoden för att undersöka strandskyddsregleringen i syfte att förstå hur ko
En rad internetbaserade tjänster finansieras idag genom att samla in data om sina användare för att sedan sälja riktat reklamutrymme till andra aktörer. Konsumenter får ofta tillgång till tjänsterna inte genom att betala pengar, utan i stället genom att tillhandahålla sina personuppgifter och acceptera att dessa behandlas i marknadsföringssyfte. Genom EU-direktiv 2019/770 och dess implementation A number of internet-based services are in today’s digital economy financed by collecting data about their users in order to sell targeted advertising space to other actors. Consumers often gain access to these services not by paying money, but by providing their personal data and allowing for it to be process-sed for marketing purposes. Through EU Directive 2019/770 and its implementation in the
Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD) may be associated with an increased risk of mortality, but specific causes of death are poorly understood. Objectives: In this matched cohort and sibling cohort study, we estimated the risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with TS/CTD, compared with unaffected matched individuals and unaffected full siblings.
More effective treatments are needed for impaired fasting glucose or glucose intolerance, known as prediabetes. Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate that reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis in individuals with type 2 diabetes and is well tolerated when provided as a broccoli sprout extract (BSE). Here we report a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which drug-naive individuals with pred
Aims: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with a clinical phenotype characterized by a high degree of insulin resistance are at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). We previously demonstrated that the endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) atrasentan reduced insulin resistance in T2D. In this study, we compared the effect of atrasentan on insulin resistance across different phenotypic clusters
Introduction: Health-promotion approaches to address stress-related exhaustion disorders, reduce personal suffering, improve coping and participation in everyday life are needed in primary care. The aim of this study was to investigate self-reported health and well-being before and after an intervention focusing on well-being with photo-supported conversations (BeWellTM). Material and methods: Eig
Purpose: The purpose is to investigate how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic changed relocation behavior in an advanced economy. We compare manufacturing relocations before and during the pandemic to identify differences and similarities over time and between offshoring and backshoring. Design/methodology/approach: We use an exploratory longitudinal trend survey approach with data f
AimsThe higher incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) during national holidays could be caused by overindulgence of food and beverages, potentially straining the heart of vulnerable individuals. Monitoring decreased thoracic impedance by cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) can be used for detection of fluid accumulation. We aimed to assess the relationship between cardiac metrics and na
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate timely reporting of clinical trial results at medical universities and university hospitals in the Nordic countries.STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: In this cross-sectional study, we included trials (regardless of intervention) registered in the EU Clinical Trials Registry and/or ClinicalTrials.gov, completed 2016-2019, and led by a university with medical faculty or
BackgroundPatient education and dialogue are important when choosing a future treatment strategy for patients with chronic kidney disease. To support patients in their decision-making process, it is critical to provide information in a way that patients can understand. This study was conducted to understand how nephrologists view the goals of information sharing, the challenges involved, and the s
Context: The mechanisms underlying bone fragility and increased fracture risk observed in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are not yet fully elucidated. Previous research has suggested a role for neuropeptides in regulating bone metabolism; however, the contribution of the neuropeptide Neurotensin (NT), which is thoroughly implicated in T2D and cardiovascular disease, has not been investigat
Background: The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) platforms has rapidly increased. The number of B-lines present on lung ultrasound (LUS) serve as a useful tool for the assessment of pulmonary congestion. Interpretation, however, requires experience and therefore AI automation has been pursued. This study aimed to test the agreement between the AI
