The Swedish Government announced that coming fall of 2022 the school curriculum will change significantly in its approach to sexual education to include subjects such as consent, sexuality and relationships, as well as critical conversations about representation of sex in different forms of media, including pornography. To combat children's exposure to porn, child rights activists are calling

Cytochrome c oxidases - why you need copper to breathe The next time anyone will ask you to provide any proof of evolution, you can surprise them by mentioning cytochrome c oxidases. Not only this answer will make you look smart and knowledgeable, but it will also provide a very solid example of something that brings together any oxygen-breathing organism, from the smallest bacterium to a majesti

Enligt svensk processrätt råder som huvudregel fri bevisvärdering och fri bevisföring. Fri bevisföring innebär att det som utgångspunkt inte får finnas någon begränsning av vilken sorts bevisning som presenteras i en rättegång. Detta hänger samman med den fria bevisvärderingen som innebär att det inte finns några regler gällande hur en viss typ av bevisning får värderas. Vidare har enligt artikel According to Swedish procedural law, the process of production of evidence and the evaluation of evidence should be free. That the production of evidence is free means that, as a general rule, there must be no restriction on the type of evidence presented in trial. This is connected with the free evaluation of evidence, which means that there must be no rules regarding how a certain type of eviden

Utforskandet av nya roller av komplement proteinet C3 Komplementsystemet är en uråldrig evolutionär mekanism i det medfödda immunförsvaret och funkar som en av kroppens första försvarslinje. I detta gamla system finns det ett protein som sticker lite mer, ett protein som har en central roll i komplementsystemet, nämligen komplement protein C3. Inte nog med att den har en viktig roll i framkallninThe complement system is an ancient component of the immune system, comprising three pathways: classical, lectin and alternative pathways. Central to these pathways is complement component C3, which converges the three pathways. C3 can be enzymatically cleaved into C3a which functions as an anaphylatoxin, and C3b, which functions as an opsonin. Previously, C3 was understood as a serum protein, how

När en exploatering planeras på privatägd mark av en byggherre eller en fastighetsägare kan ett exploateringsavtal tecknas med kommunen i syfte att klargöra genomförandet av en detaljplan. I avtalet har kommunen möjlighet att ålägga en exploatör att utföra eller finansiera åtgärder för anläggande av allmän plats till följd av den värdestegring som exploatörens mark genomgår. De två rekvisit som måThe aim of this paper is to examine the property development process involving development agreements and how their framework should be applied. This includes exploring the allocation of costs for the construction of public spaces between the municipality and the developer when such agreements are signed. The study addresses the following research questions: • What is the size of the development

Unravelling the home is an anecdotal mapping of the house and the objects within it to seek a deeper understanding of what a home is constructed of. Through prints, photographs, observations, interviews and drawings, the house is slowly unravelled to visualise the material and the immaterial components, including the norms and narratives, that makes it a home. The notion of the home as a physical

Domstolarna i det svenska rättsväsendet delas primärt upp i två grupper: de allmänna domstolarna och de allmänna förvaltningsdomstolarna. Den senare gruppen av domstolar ansvarar för förvaltningsrättskipningen och utgörs av förvaltningsrätterna (som också utgör första instans enligt överprövningsförfarandet), kammarrätterna (andra instans) och Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen, HFD (sista instans). DomThe courts in the Swedish legal system are primarily constituted by two groups: the General Courts and the Administrative Courts. The latter group is constituted by the Administrative Court (which handles cases as the first instance), the Administrative Court of Appeal (second instance) and the Supreme Administrative Court (last instance). The Administrative Courts are responsible for the administ

Understanding how organisms allocate limited resources among competing traits is a central issue in evolutionary biology. In this thesis, I test whether butterflies have an energetic trade-off between the high-cost sensory traits, compound eyes and antennae. Such a trade-off would be predicted by the Expensive Tissue Hypothesis. We used high-resolution 3D micro-CT data from 233 museum specimens (r

The thermal performance curve (TPC) of an organism captures how population growth depends on temperature. When populations experience increased temperatures, such as during global climate change, one prediction is that their TPC can evolve to accommodate the new environmental temperature. Although studies on TPC evolution have mostly focused on modifications in population growth rates, TPC evoluti

The discourse on Business and Human Rights (BHR) has evolved substantially over the past two decades, particularly since the adoption of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) in 2011. While the UNGPs established the corporate responsibility to respect human rights through Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD), their voluntary nature has resulted in fragmented implementation an

Why do citizens’ decisions made because they favour the mitigation of climate change outnumber those made because they favour adaptation to its impacts? Using data collected in a survey of 338 citizens of Malmö, Sweden, we tested two hypotheses. H1: the motivation for personal decisions because they favour adaptation to the impacts of climate change correlates with the decision-making agent´s know

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists and antagonists is the mainstay of advanced prostate cancer treatment. Both drug classes decrease levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH), thereby lowering testosterone to castrate levels. This is associated with adverse events (AEs), including cardiovascular (CV) disorders, bone fr

Daylight availability for buildings has been an integral part of architecture since ancient times, yet for the vast majority of countries, criteria for daylight provision were not normative until the 20th century. This article examines the case of Sweden, where the term “daylight” first appeared in regulations in 1960, and assesses the daylight compliance of multi-dwelling buildings before and aft

How do regions change their development path? We contribute to the growing literature on agency in regional development by combining it with a focus on the institutions that shape, support and constrain change agency in pursuit of different types of development paths. We answer the call for micro-level perspectives on regional economic change, using an in-depth and comparative case study approach.

IntroductionChildren affected by Paediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) cannot consume enough nourishment by mouth. PFD is highly prevalent and can affect the child's growth and development as well as family life.AimTo illuminate Swedish parents’ experiences of living with a child with PFD.MethodSemi-structured interviews via telephone or video calls were conducted with 14 purposefully recruited mother

In Sweden, personal assistance is one form of support for persons with certain functional impairment. The aim of personal assistance is to give compensatory support to individuals so that they can enjoy the right to live a life like anyone else. This article explores what kind of support parents who have functional impairments and apply for personal assistance may need when they have underage chil

Flicker, or more precisely temporal light modulation (TLM), has re-emerged as a problem with the introduction of LED-based lighting technology. TLM, meaning variations in light intensity over time, may have negative effect on human health, causing annoyance, headaches, eyestrain and migraine. the negative consequences of TLM create an obstacle to broad and rapid adaptation of the new LED-technolog

Background: An adequate future liver remnant (FLR) is fundamental for major liver resections. To achieve sufficient FLR, portal vein embolization (PVE) may be used. The most effective material for PVE has yet to be determined. The aim of this study was to investigate the differences in FLR growth between n-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue (NBCA) and microparticles. Material/methodsa: retrospective study w

The past ∼200 million years of Earth's geomagnetic field behavior have been recorded within oceanic basalts, many of which are only accessible via scientific ocean drilling. Obtaining the best possible paleomagnetic measurements from such valuable samples requires an a priori understanding of their magnetic mineralogies when choosing the most appropriate protocol for stepwise demagnetization exper
