Volunteers fill an important function in the social work that constantly and in various ways goes on in our society. Without the volunteers' involvement there is a risk that many more people fall between the cracks than actually do, even in the Swedish welfare state. Since volunteers are people whose resources are finite, it is important to gain insight into what motivates, encourages and even
Varumärken är värdefulla tillgångar som kan generera stora ekonomiska vinster. Till följd av det värde färgvarumärken kan erhålla finns ett behov av att kunna registrera färgmärken för att erhålla skydd mot eventuella konkurrenter. Det står förvisso klart att abstrakta färger kan registreras och varumärkesskyddas, men registrering är inte oproblematisk och färger saknar ofta förutsättningar för at
Large-scale restoration projects are being increasingly used to address land degradation and global climate change. While these initiatives are promising, an overemphasis on tree planting may contribute to ecological degradation and carbon loss. This thesis critically examines the AFR100 initiative in southern Africa through literature analysis and expert interviews. By integrating perspectives fr
Den här uppsatsen undersöker den svenska implementeringen av andelsbytesmekanismen för privatpersoner, som återfinns i artikel 8 i Fusions-Direktivet, hädanefter FD. Uppsatsen undersöker även hur Sverige har valt att skydda sin beskattningsrätt när aktieägaren emigrerar till en annan EU MS medan hen äger aktier erhållna via ett andelsbyte. Syftet bakom undersökningen är att utreda huruvida om den This thesis examines the Swedish implementation of the exchange of shares mechanism for individuals, found in article 8 of the Tax Merger Directive, henceforth TMD, and how Sweden has chosen to safeguard its taxation right when the shareholder holding exchanged shares emigrates to another EU MS. The purpose behind this is to examine if the Swedish im-plementation, given the more recent case-law fr
The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. This study followed these directives and guidelines to collect the required data and employed the NORD2000 model to simulate traffic no
Barn och unga lever i en värld där de riskerar att möta svårigheter som kan påverka deras hälsa och utveckling negativt. Interventioner för att stärka barns motståndskraft behövs för att skydda mot negativa konsekvenser rotade i utmaningar under uppväxten. Traumamedveten omsorg (TMO) är en psykoedukativ intervention, som ges till vuxna i barnets närmiljö. Tidigare forskning har undersökt TMO utifrIn today’s society, children and adolescents face adversities that can impair their mental health and psychological development. Interventions that aim to strengthen children’s resilience are crucial in order to protect children from detrimental outcomes. Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a psychoeducational intervention, which is administered to adults in children’s environments. Previous research ha
Despite the availability of new drugs on the clinics in recent years, drug-resistant epilepsy remains an unresolved challenge for healthcare, and one-third of epilepsy patients remain refractory to anti-seizure medications. Gene therapy in experimental models has emerged as effective treatment targeting specific neuronal populations in the epileptogenic focus. When combined with an external chemic
Transmissibility has increased during the evolution of SARS-CoV-2, possibly by improved airborne transmission. An increased transmission was noted also in many hospitals. We analyzed SARS-CoV-2 in room air of hospitalized Omicron infected patients and compared results with previous findings with pre-Delta variants to study if SARS-CoV-2 was more prevalent in patient rooms after the introduction of

Two synchrotron-based studies on 4H-pyran-4-thione, photoelectron spectroscopy and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectra were performed. A highly resolved structure was observed in the photoelectron spectrum (PES), in contrast to an earlier PES study, where little structure was observed. The sequence of ionic states was determined using configuration interaction and coupled cluster methods.
Den här rapporten är en del av ett större utvecklingsprojekt och baseras på en serie digitala forskningscirklar för kuratorer inom hälso- och sjukvården som pågick mellan 2020 och 2022. Författarna undersöker, med hjälp av anteckningar från forskningscirklarna och egna erfarenheter som kliniskt verksamma kuratorer, hur deras arbete kan förstås både inom den egna professionen och i samverkan med an
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There is no standardized regimen for follow-up after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer (BC). To address this gap, we conducted a multicenter study involving urologist members from the European Association of Urology (EAU) bladder cancer guideline panels. Our objective was to identify consistent post-RC follow-up strategies and develop a practice-based framework b
New-generation single-layer polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE-) or polyurethane (PU-) covered stent (CS) for the treatment of coronary artery perforation (CAP) during PCI offer high procedural efficacy. To evaluate the comparative long-term safety and efficacy of both devices. This is a multicenter pooled analysis of individual data of patients with CAP undergoing implantation of single-layer PTFE-CS o
Background: Carry Life UF is a novel peritoneal dialysis (PD) technology for improved fluid management using steady concentration PD (SCPD). The Carry Life UF treatment starts with a manual peritoneal fill of 1.36% glucose PD fluid, followed by a 5-hour treatment where small amounts of glucose are continuously added to maintain a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration. A recent in-center cli
Background: To determine if an alternating regimen of the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib and regorafenib improved outcomes in patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Methods: ALTGIST (NCT02365441) was a randomized phase II study of standard treatment of imatinib (Arm A) compared with an experimental alternating regimen of imatinib and regorafenib (Arm B). Primary outcome was b
