BACKGROUND: Direct-to-consumer telemedicine is an increasingly used modality to access primary care.

BACKGROUND: Due to low mortality rate of musculoskeletal disorders (MSK) less attention has been paid to MSK as underlying cause of death in the general population. The aim was to examine trend in MSK as underlying cause of death in 58 countries across globe during 1986-2011.METHODS: Data on mortality were collected from the WHO mortality database and population data were obtained from the United
AIM: To assess the absolute and relative educational inequalities in mortality from hip and non-hip fractures in Skåne region, Sweden.METHODS: We conducted a population-based open cohort study.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the occurrence of meniscal calcifications in individuals with and without knee osteoarthritis (OA). Additionally, we aim to identify the specific types of calcifications: basic calcium phosphate (BCP) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPP).METHOD: We analysed 82 meniscal posterior horn samples (medial and lateral) collected from 41 human subjects. Among them, 20 indivi
There is still a need for new agents which improve upon the therapeutic index of tiotropium, the current standard of care for many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We examined in patients with COPD the efficacy of single doses of AZD9164, an M(3)-selective muscarinic antagonist, to identify an appropriate dose-range for future studies. COPD patients (n = 28) inhaled AZD9
Digitalisering och ny teknik möjliggör helt nya sätt för representation av ekonomiska värden. Utanför den traditionella egendomssfären kan idag stora tillgångar hittas. Det kanske vanligaste exemplet på sådana tillgångar är kryptovalutor. Likt alla andra ekonomiska värden, kan en konflikt över vem som har bäst rätt till kryptovalutan uppkomma – den kan bli föremål för en sakrättslig frågeställniDigitalization and new technology enable whole new ways of representation of economic values. Today, large assets can be found outside the traditional property sphere. The perhaps most common example of such assets are cryptocurrencies. Like all other economic values, a conflict regarding who has the better claim to the cryptocurrency may occur – it can be subject to a question of a right in rem

This PhD thesis deals with anthropomorphic images from the Vendel and Viking Ages, their contexts and functions. The images are seen as means of communication with “effective power” or agency ("Wirkmächtigkeit"). They could have had a relationship of interaction or partial identity with what was represented, due to the fact that the Vendel and Viking Age societies were largely based on oral tradit
The global coverage of sociology of law (SoL) has remained limited to the Western world, due to the difficult and problematic application of its current theories and concepts in non-Western societies. Thus, the sociology of law norm concept was studied in relation to the culture of Ashanti people of Ghana. This was done to identify and valorise culturally specific issues of their society that are
Genom Sveriges implementering av EU:s 2014 års upphandlingsdirektiv innehåller svensk rätt sedan år 2017 såväl fakultativa som obligatoriska bestämmelser om ställandet av arbetsrättsliga villkor i offentliga upphandlingar. Denna uppsats identifierar dock flera praktiska svårigheter gällande användandet av dessa bestämmelser på grund av den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellens särdrag. I brist på en lagThrough Sweden's implementation of EU’s 2014 public procurement directives the Swedish legal system contains since 2017 optional and mandatory statutes regarding specific labour law requirements in public procurement. This thesis however identifies several practical difficulties regarding the use of these statutes because of the characteristics typical for the Swedish labour market model. The
The broad aim of this thesis is to explain the fundamental themes and function of Swedish field sermons and field prayers, and so to re-examine the view in earlier research that field sermons were primarily ‘Old Testamentary’ in nature. Inspired by more recent international research, I hold that the sermons’ basic functions were twofold: discipline and comfort. What matters, is to understand the d
Aims/hypothesis High-energy breakfast and reduced-energy dinner (Bdiet) significantly reduces postprandial glycaemia in obese non-diabetic individuals. Our objective was to test whether this meal schedule reduces postprandial hyperglycaemia (PPHG) in patients with type 2 diabetes by enhancing incretin and insulin levels when compared with high-energy dinner and reduced-energy breakfast (Ddiet). Me
The main purpose of this study is to examine whether a specific group of non ideal crime victims senses that the standard view of the ideal crime victim stands in the way of them getting the help from the judiciary that they are entitled to. If a discrepancy between theory and practice do exists, then why does it exist and what changes need to be done to eliminate it? These questions have been s
The mass mobilization and the collective political engagement of the Gezi Park protests of 2013 came as a surprise for many in Turkey. What was new about these large-scale demonstrations was not only the sheer number of people taking place in them (more than 3.5 million), but rather the expansive range of the protesters.This presentation looks into the Gezi events through a research question of Ho
Det straffrättsliga orsaksbegreppet har främst diskuterats i rättsvetenskaplig doktrin, eftersom det saknas en legaldefinition och mängden rättspraxis kring begreppet är begränsad i Sverige. År 2024 kom dock ett avgörande, NJA 2024 s. 36, där Högsta domstolen för första gången uttryckligen diskuterade orsaksbegreppet. Rättsfallet handlade om alternativ kausalitet i form av alternativa dödsorsakThe concept of causation in criminal law has been discussed mainly in legal doctrine, since there is no legal definition, and the amount of case law regard ing the concept is limited, in Sweden. In 2024, a decision was made, NJA 2024 s. 36, where the Swedish Supreme Court explicitly discussed the con cept of causation for the first time. The case was about alternative causality in the terms of
Den 9 december 1948 antogs konventionen om förebyggande och bestraffning av brottet folkmord. Begreppet “folkmord”, myntat av den framlidne professorn Raphael Lemkin, definieras som den systematiska förintelsen av gruppers grundläggande livsvillkor med syftet att förinta gruppen i sig. I artikel II av folkmordskonventionen definieras folkmord istället som handlingar som “förövas i avsikt att förin
