Detention as a measure of last resort only for the shortest period of time? This is the title of the thesis and also the key question to be investigated. Children involved in the criminal justice system are far too often infringed upon their fundamental human rights. As a result children are subject to maltreatment, neglect and abuse. According to the law, the rights of the child shall in all situ
Purpose: Histologic grade, Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI), estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PSR) status, and tumor size have previously been shown to be important prognostic indicators for distant recurrence of breast cancer. The purpose of this study was to compare the prognostic value of these factors with flow cytometric S-phase fraction (SPF), urokinase plasminogen activato
We present a model for developing health services for men who have sex with men (MSM) in sub-Saharan Africa and other places where MSM are heavily stigmatized and marginalized. The processes of the SPEND model include Safe treatment for sexually transmissible infections (STIs) and HIV; Pharmacy sites for treatment of STIs in countries where pharmacies and drug stores are the source of medical advi
A search is presented for narrow diboson resonances decaying to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in the final state where one [Formula: see text] boson decays leptonically (to an electron or a muon plus a neutrino) and the other [Formula: see text] boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb[Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] coll
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the elderly and disabled are included and excluded by the municipality of Malmö in three different published planning documents. To investigate this purpose, the main question asked is: how are elderly and disabled people described and included in/excluded from the City of Malmö's master plan, the in-depth master plan for Nyhamnen and the Detail
This master’s thesis explores everyday life on the islands Asperö and Brännö, located in the South archipelago of Gothenburg. Although the islands are part of the Gothenburg municipality, their geographical separation creates unique, place-specific challenges, while also the boundedness of the islands' isolation fosters a sense of community among residents. The aim of the study is to gain an u
Uppsatsen har syftat till att kritiskt granska samtyckesrekvisitet i 16 kapitlet 4 § HSL samt 10 kapitlet 8 och 9 §§ SoL (kallad SIP-bestämmelsen), speciellt i relation till individer med nedsatt beslutsförmåga. Lagtext och dess förarbeten har granskats liksom den praktiska tillämpningen av SIP-bestämmelsen. Dessutom har bestämmelsen satts i ett annat perspektiv genom att samtyckesregleringen i SVThis essay set out to critically examine the need for consent regarding the possibility to obtain a coordinated individual plan (SIP). This is covered in a legal provision I refer to as the SIP-provision. It is analysed in relation to individuals with impaired decision-making capacity. The legal provision as well as preparatory works has been explored and there is also the aspect of how the provis
In recent years the concept of social capital has become particularly popular in epidemiologic literature for its hypothesized effects on health inequalities observable at national levels. This project evolves around the theory of social capital, particularly the interaction of its bonding, bridging and vertical forms and dimensions for health outcomes. It also incorporates a competing viewpoint a
The results of a search for the direct pair production of top squarks, the supersymmetric partner of the top quark, in final states with one isolated electron or muon, several energetic jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The analysis also targets spin-0 mediator models, where the mediator decays into a pair of dark-matter particles and is produced in association with a pair of top
A search for new phenomena in final states containing an e+e- or μ+μ- pair, jets, and large missing transverse momentum is presented. This analysis makes use of proton–proton collision data with an integrated luminosity of 36.1fb-1, collected during 2015 and 2016 at a centre-of-mass energy s=13TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The search targets the pair production of super
Flavor-changing neutral currents are not present in the Standard Model at tree level and are suppressed in loop processes by the unitarity of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix; the corresponding rates for top quark decay processes are experimentally unobservable. Extensions of the Standard Model can generate new flavor-changing neutral current processes, leading to signals which, if observed, w
Islet autoantibodies (IAs) precede the clinical onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, the knowledge is limited about whether the prodrome affects complete blood counts (CBCs) in 4- to 12-year-old children with increased genetic risk for T1D. This study tested whether CBCs were altered in 4- to 12-year-old children without (n = 376) or with one or several IAs against insulin, GAD65, or IA-2 (n =
A search for new charged massive gauge bosons, W′, is performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Data were collected in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. This analysis searches for W′ bosons in the W′→tb¯ decay channel in final states with an electron or muon plus jets. The search covers resonance masses betw
Researchers and teachers often recommend motivating exercises and use of mathematics or statistics software for the teaching of basic courses in probability and statistics. Our courses are given to large groups of engineering students at Lund Institute of Technology. We found that the mere existence of real-life data and technology in a course does not automatically increase students’ motivation o
BACKGROUND: Summary measures of health are essential in making estimates of health status that are comparable across time and place. They can be used for assessing the performance of health systems, informing effective policy making, and monitoring the progress of nations toward achievement of sustainable development goals. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 (GBD
INTRODUCTION: Whether low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with worse rheumatoid arthritis (RA) outcomes in countries with general tax-financed healthcare systems (such as Sweden) remains to be elucidated. Our aim was to investigate the influence of educational background (achieving university/college degree (high) or not (low)) on the outcomes of early RA, in terms of disease activity (DA
