OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether surveillance of pulmonary nodules detected with low-dose CT (LDCT) impacted health-related quality of life and psychosocial consequences in the Swedish population-based study, Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS).DESIGN: A prospective cross-sectional study.SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: This multicentre (five sites) observational study, which included a co

Background: As the treatment arsenal for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) has expanded during the last decades, follow-up studies are needed on children diagnosed in the era of biological treatment to evaluate if this has improved the outcome. Our aim was to study the epidemiology and outcome of JIA in southern Sweden using a population-based cohort of children with a validated di

BACKGROUND: Health workers' (HWs') perspectives on the quality of maternal and newborn care (QMNC) are not routinely collected. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to document HWs' perspectives on QMNC around childbirth in 12 World Health Organization (WHO) European countries.METHODS: HWs involved in maternal/neonatal care for at least one year between March 2020 and March 2023 answered an onl

Till följd av att barnkonventionen tillträdde som svensk lag har domstolen en skyldighet att utöver rättegångsbalkens bestämmelser tillämpa barnkonventionens bestämmelser vid mål som rör barn. Vid inkorporeringen av konventionen uttryckte flera remissinstanser kritik mot att förarbetena till lagen inte gav något underlag för tolkning av de enskilda artiklarna samt att lösningar på eventuella normkAs a consequence of the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Swedish law, courts are obliged to apply the UNCRC in provision to the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure when children are parties or otherwise involved. Several referral bodies expressed criticism that the Swedish government in their preparatory work provided no guidance on how the individual articles

Sammanfattning Denna uppsats behandlar fastställandet av föräldraskap i svensk rätt när barn tillkommit genom surrogatarrangemang utomlands. Surrogatmoderskap är inte tillåtet inom svensk hälso- och sjukvård, men internationella surrogatarrange-mang förekommer och medför att barn födda genom sådana arrangemang regelbundet möter den svenska rättsordningen. I avsaknad av särskild lagstift-ning på omSummary This thesis reviews the establishment of legal parenthood in Swedish law in cases where children are born through international surrogacy arrangements. Despite the fact that surrogacy is not authorized within the Swedish healthcare system, such arrangements exist abroad with increasing frequency, resulting in children commonly entering the Swedish legal order. In the absence of distinct le

Den tekniska utvecklingen har möjliggjort nya former av sexuella övergrepp mot barn, där fysiskt möte mellan förövare och barn ofta helt uteblir. Detta har lett till olika typer av utmaningar till det straffrättsliga system som länge varit inriktat på fysiska övergrepp. Trots att forskning visar att digitala övergrepp kan orsaka ett psykiskt lidande som är jämförbart med de vid fysiska handlingar,Advancements in technology have enabled new forms of child sexual abuse, where physical contact between the perpetrator and the child is entirely absent. This development challenged a criminal justice system which has historically focused on physical offences. Research shows that children that have been subjected to online sexual abuse often experience psychological harm that is just as severe as

Introduction: In spite of societal efforts to strengthen women's sexual and reproductive health in Sweden, many women have unmet contraceptive needs and the abortion rate remains high. The aim of this study was to investigate contraceptive use among abortion-seeking women. Material and methods: Swedish-speaking women seeking an induced abortion up to the end of gestational week 12 at seven hospita

Objectives: We explored the prevalence of health complaints subjectively associated with static magnetic field (SMF) and acoustic noise exposure among MR radiographers in Sweden, using CT radiographers as a control group. Additionally, we explored radiographers’ use of strategies to mitigate adverse health effects. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was sent to all hospitals with MR units in Sweden

The phase field method emerged as a tool to solve free boundary problems with a sharp interface. In previous methods, this involved the computationally inefficient and complicated tracking of a moving interface. The phase field method overcomes this limitation by introducing an auxiliary variable called the order parameter which varies continuously over the whole domain and takes on finite values

The Swedish transport administration (Trafikverket) uses turnkey contracts as a tool in their work with the assignment from the Swedish government to increase innovation and productivity in the construction sector which railway is included in. Qualitative interviews of the three different actors: clients (Trafikverket), constructors and consults have been made for the study. This is to get a pictu

Under 2014 så delade Lunds kommun ut 830 gratis cykelhjälmar. Sådana styrande kampanjer är vanliga i Sverige, ändå har ingen kampanj någonsin blivit utvärderad. Syftet med denna uppsats är tvådelad. Först, att utvärdera hur många av de 830 cyklisterna som faktiskt bär hjälmen som de blev tilldelade. Sedan, att nå insikt om varför vissa cyklister väljer att bära hjälmen och varför andra väljer att In 2014, Lund municipality in Sweden handed out 830 bicycle helmets for free. Such governance campaigns are commonplace in Sweden, yet no campaign has ever been evaluated. There are two research aims to this thesis. First, to evaluate how many of the 830 cyclists actually wear the bicycle helmets that they received. Second, to gain insight into why some cyclists choose to wear the helmet that they

Global exploration and production of minerals is increasingly located in areas populated by indigenous people. Conflicts that arise between multinational corporations and local activists and/or indigenous people are widespread while the understanding of such issues are still lacking. The Swedish government encouraging an expanding mining industry have caused great resistance, particularly due to t

Moral distress in nursing is a widely-acknowledged phenomenon that has been linked to decreased patient care, burnouts and job turnover. Thereby, it is often described by quantitative studies which lack insights in feelings and perceptions of affected nurses. Our thesis approached the phenomenon differently by interpreting narratives. These were identified through a qualitative study in cooperatio

För närmare åtta år sedan, 2011, ändrade Högsta domstolen (HD) sin tidigare praxis avseende tolkningen av 1 kap. 2 § andra stycket brottsbalken (BrB) – alltså det lagrum som reglerar uppsåt vid självförvållat rus. Den nya tolkningen innebar att uppsåt i dessa fall skulle behandlas enligt vanliga regler om uppsåt. Det är således inte längre fråga om att fingera uppsåt, inte ens i någon mån. SuzanneNearly eight years ago, in 2011, the supreme court of Sweden changed its previously established practice regarding the interpretation of Chapter 1, art. 2, 2nd paragraph of the Penal Code1 where intent and self-induced intoxication are addressed. A consequence of the new interpretation was that criminal intent in such cases of intoxication should instead be tried as intent in general and thus ther

Forces such as globalisation, digitalisation and changes in consumer behaviour have led to a discussion among practitioners as well as scholars whether the physical retail place will stay relevant or even exist in the future. One way for brick-and-mortar retailers to stay competitive is to adopt new and innovative business models and formats, alongside a focus on the customer experience and how to

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effect of informal communication strategies on brand trust from a consumer perspective. Additionally, it aims to further conceptualize brand communication strategies on social media. Methodology: This inductive study applied a qualitative research strategy to obtain an in-depth understanding of consumers’ feeling of brand trust on soci

Kronisk malaria i en flyttfågel: Sjuka mammor har favoritungar. Precis som människor kan djur bli sjuka. Dessa sjukdomar spelar en stor roll i ekosystem, bland annat för att de kan ge negativ påverkan på populationsstorlekar via ökad dödlighet och minskad fortplantningsframgång (fitness) bland infekterade individer. En sådan sjukdom är fågelmalaria. Trastsångaren (Acrocephalus arundinaceus) är en

Uppsatsen behandlar konflikten mellan två inte sällan kolliderande intressen, vindkraft och rennäring. I ljuset av folkrättsliga instrument till skydd för urfolk, ska samernas rätt till mark och vatten skyddas. För samer är denna rätt en förutsättning för renskötselns bedrivande, som det samiska kulturarvet i stora delar bygger på. Rennäringen förutsätter stora markområden där renar fritt kan flytThis essay discusses the conflict between wind power and reindeer husbandry, two interests which at times collide. In light of international law and its instruments for the protection of indigenous peoples, the Samis’ rights to land and water shall be protected. The right to land is a prerequisite for the Samis to pursue their reindeer herding, which lays the foundation for the cultural heritage o

En huvudprincip i den svenska rättsordningen är att den förlorande parten i ett tvistemål ska ersätta den vinnande parten för dennes rättegångskostnader. Ersättningen till den vinnande parten ska i enlighet med 18 kap. 8 § rättegångsbalken (1942:740), fullt motsvara kostnaderna för processföringen, såvitt kostnaderna skäligen varit påkallade för tillvaratagande av partens rätt. Inom ramen för partAn essential rule in Swedish law is that the losing party in a litigation shall reimburse all costs incurred by the winning party. Section 8 in Chapter 18 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Proceedings (1942:740) concludes that “compensation for litigation costs shall fully cover the costs of preparation for trial […] to the extent that the costs were reasonably incurred to safeguard the party's

Barn som är under 15 år kan inte straffas i svensk rätt enligt 1 kap. 6 § brottsbalken (BrB) och därmed kan de inte heller bli föremål för rättsväsendets åtgärder p.g.a. brott. När samhällsåtgärder därmed måste tas, ligger ansvaret på socialtjänsten. Begår ett barn ett brott kan det ändå utredas av polis och åklagare genom stöd av lagen om unga lagöverträdare (LUL), en s.k. 31 § LUL-utredning. SChildren under the age of 15 can commit crimes but they cannot be punished under Swedish law in accordance with Chapter 1, Section 6 of the Criminal Code and therefore they cannot be subject to a preliminary criminal investigation by a Prosecutor or the Police. Instead, when children have committed a crime other societal measures can be taken. The responsibility for the care for these children lie
