Det primära syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om det aktiebolagsrättsliga förvärvslåneförbudet är tillämpligt på säkerheter som är ställda efter förvärvstidpunkten. Att sådana säkerheter i vissa fall kan träffas av förvärvslåneförbudet verkar man i stort sett vara överens om i doktrinen, åtminstone vad gäller s.k. minutenlån. Däremot råder oenighet exakt om vad som krävs. Ett upplägg som används
The criticism towards agricultural use of sewage sludge tends to occur in ten year cycles; the debate has begun once more. The aim of this study is to evaluate current policy for agricultural use of sewage sludge, by investigating how pollutants within the sludge are affected. Two types of substances; a heavy metal (cadmium) and an organic substance(nonylphenol), are used to illustrate possible st
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Conodonterna var en framgångsrik och diversifierad marin djurgrupp som levde från ungefär mellankambrium (~ 500 Ma) till slutet av trias (200 Ma). Från ett fåtal bevarade avtryck vet man att djuren var långsmala, endast några cm långa och hade fenor. Avtrycken är svårtolkade, men mycket tyder på att conodonterna var förhållandevis avancerade och kanske till och
The effect of climate change on tree growth in boreal forests is likely mediated by local climate conditions and species-specific responses that vary according to differences in traits. Here, we assess species-specific tree growth responses to climate along gradients of mean annual temperature and soil moisture. We assessed growth-climate relationships by using tree-ring width data in Norway spruc
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to have a higher risk for a wide range of health conditions compared to the general population. However, there is little research comparing a more comprehensive range of diseases and conditions at different ages. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the overall age-specific diagnostic pattern among people with ID compared
Northern mires are significant natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), yet estimating CH4 emissions remains challenging due to their complex spatio-temporal dynamics. While eddy covariance (EC) measurements provide valuable insights into ecosystem-scale CH4 fluxes (FCH4) over mire areas typically < 0.05 km², the predictability of FCH4 at the mesoscale (∼0.5 – 20 km²) of a mire complex based
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the risk of radiation-induced cancer development in patients that have undergone an infrarenal EVAR, stratifying the relative contributions of the procedure and the preoperative and postoperative CTAs. Methods and Materials: The organ-specific absorbed radiation doses from CTA and the EVAR procedure were estimated from the radiation exposures of 95 an
Background: Chronic low-grade inflammation is a well-known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and future cardiovascular events. Anti-inflammatory therapy can reduce the risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD) events following myocardial infarction (MI). However, it remains unknown to what extent inflammation at the time of an acute event predicts long-term outcomes. We explored whe
Objective: Foetal growth restriction (FGR) affects 10% of pregnancies, contributing to 30% of stillbirths. Current management of early-onset FGR (< 32 + 0 weeks' gestation) delivers the foetus before stillbirth or irreversible organ damage. The resulting preterm births create additional risks independent of FGR. We determined the economic cost associated with severe early-onset FGR. Design: Econom
The International Agency for Research on Cancer has recently classified occupational exposure as a firefighter as carcinogenic (group 1A). Even though the occupation of firefighter is associated with high exposure to pollutants, it is challenging to carry out exposure studies to assess health risks due to the extreme conditions associated with firefighting. Routine monitoring of occupational expos
Objectives To examine the associations between socioeconomic position (SEP) and the incidence of serious hand infections—pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (PFT) and septic arthritis (SA)—as well as risks of opioid overuse following diagnosis using nation-level data. Design In a registry-based nationwide retrospective cohort study, (1) associations between SEP and incidence of PFT/SA; (2) SEP and infec
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular calcification is a significant predictor and contributor to cardiovascular diseases. Vascular smooth muscle cell (SMC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in microcalcification formation. EVs can originate from the endosomal system, and PIKFYVE (1-phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate 5-kinase), a lipid kinase, plays a key role in endomembrane maturation.
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are rare autoimmune diseases, including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophil granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). They are three distinct diseases with overlapping symptoms and signs. The ANCAs involved in AAV are mainly directed against myeloperoxidase (MPO) and proteinase
Background Anorexia nervosa is associated with high personal and financial costs for sufferers, carers and society in general, but little is known about the long-term health economic burden. Aims To examine healthcare utilisation, social assistance, sick leave and disability pension in individuals with anorexia nervosa over a period of 30 years. Method Fifty-one individuals with adolescent-onset a
BACKGROUND: Pesticides play a crucial role in pest control; however, exposure remains high, particularly among smallholder farmers in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) with little access to pesticide safety training. This study aimed to provide comparative biomarker-based evidence from Latin America and Africa and identify actionable determinants of exposure to inform context-specific
Trots att miljö- och produktionsmål formellt varit jämställda i skogspolitiken under de senaste decennierna, är förlust av biologisk mångfald ett fortsatt problem. Inom skogspolitiken i Sverige och Finland har strategier för ökat skydd av biologisk mångfald framhållit frivillighet, som certifiering av skogsbruk och frivilliga avsättningar mot kompensation. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur resultatenDespite decades of claimed ambitions to increase environmental consideration in forest policy, biodiversity loss in boreal forests continues. As the pressure on forest biodiversity intensifies, due to land use competition, shifting societal demands, and climate change, it is crucial to address the shortfall of biodiversity policies in reaching their intended outcomes. Voluntary policy instruments
