The pursuit for equality between men and women is an ongoing struggle. One of the largest differences between men and women in general is the amount of time spent taking care of children and the home. This difference between men and women is one of the reasons women have less opportunity to pursue a career, be financially independent or take part in politics in most parts of the world. This differ
Abstract Author: Josefin Almkvist and Ellenor Yngvesson Title: The battle for children – A qualitative study of the district court's assessment in custody disputes (translated title) Supervisor: Maria Bangura Arvidsson Assessor: Hans-Edvard Roos The purpose of this study was to analyze verdicts of custody disputes and thereby study how the court motivates their decisions in custody issues. Th
Strukturella och petrologiska studier av komplext veckade mafiskt- och felsiskt varvade sekvenser har genomförts i den paraautoktona delen av Svekonorvegiska provinsen i sydvästra Sverige. Tre deformationsfaser (D1, D2, D3) innefattande minst två veckfaser (F2, F3) och två lineationsfaser (L2, L3) karakteriserar ett flerfasigt veck i migmatiserad och mycket kompetent granatamfibolit. Denna enhet vStructural and petrological studies on complexly folded mafic and felsic layered sequences have been mapped in the parautochthonous basement of the Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3)involving at least two fold phases (F2, F3) and two lineation phases (L2, L3) characterize a polyphase fold, which is primarily defined by a migmatized and highly competent garnet am
I dagens digitaliserade samhälle möter utgivare och publicister av traditionellt tryckt media stora ekonomiska motgångar vid försäljningen av exempelvis nyhetstidningar eller andra tidskrifter. Således har majoriteten av utläggare idag gjort sina publikationer tillgängliga för läsare online. De digitala intäkterna lyckas dock inte väga upp för de förluster utgivarna lider av den nedåtgående försälIn today's digitized society, publishers of legacy printed media face major financial hardships in the sale of newspapers and other magazines. Thus, most publishers today have made their publications available to readers online. However, digital revenues do not make up for the losses that the publishers suffer from the decreasing sales of printed media. This can in part be attributed to the fa
Personer med nedsatt beslutsförmåga kan till följd av kognitiva nedsättningar inte alltid samtycka till vård. Eftersom det inte finns någon specialanpassad lag för denna patientgrupp har det under flera års tid varit svårt att tillämpa regelverken inom hälso- och sjukvården. Det har tillsatts ett flertal kommittéer för att undersöka möjligheterna att stifta ett anpassat regelverk. Detsamma gäller People with reduced decision-making capacity can not always consent to care as a result of cognitive impairments. Because no specially adapted law for this patient group exists, it is difficult to applicate the current legal framework within the Swedish health care system when caring for such individuals. A number of committees have been appointed to examine the possibilities of establishing an ad
The aim of this thesis is to design two patch antenna arrays for dual-frequency harmonic radar application, one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver. The arrays are used to track the Bogong moth that migrates from the countryside to the Australian Alps during spring. The tracking is done at the radar by operating the transmitter at one frequency and the receiver at twice the frequenc
Background: Pancreatic cancer and other pancreaticobiliary type periampullary adenocarcinomas have a dismal prognosis even after resection and neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Intestinal type periampullary adenocarcinomas generally have a better prognosis, but little is known on optimal neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment. New prognostic and treatment predictive biomarkers are needed for improved treatmen
OBJECTIVE-To evaluate the significance of GAD antibodies (GADAs) and family history for type 1 diabetes (FHT1) or type 2 diabetes (FHT2) in nondiabetic subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-GADAs were analyzed in 4,976 nondiabetic relatives of type 2 diabetic patients or control subjects from Finland. Altogether, 289 (5.9%) were GADA(+)-a total of 253 GADA(+) and 2,511 GADA(-) subjects participate
Background-Late mortality after repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is frequently associated with pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). We aimed to describe the morphological spectrum of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection and identify risk factors for death and postoperative PVO. Methods and Results-We conducted a retrospective, international, collaborative, population-bas
Background: Estimations of the risk of bisphosphonate associated atypical femoral fractures vary between different population-based studies, from considerable to neglectable. A possible explanation for these discrepancies could be different definitions of atypical fractures. We aimed to identify specific radiographic fracture characteristics associated with bisphosphonate use. Methods: In a previo
Metabolomic screening of fasting plasma from nondiabetic subjects identified alpha-hydroxybutyrate (alpha-HB) and linoleoyl-glycerophosphocholine (L-GPC) as joint markers of insulin resistance (IR) and glucose intolerance. To test the predictivity of alpha-HB and L-GPC for incident dysglycemia, alpha-HB and L-GPC measurements were obtained in two observational cohorts, comprising 1,261 nondiabetic
OBJECTIVEYounger age at menarche, a marker of pubertal timing in girls, is associated with higher risk of later type 2 diabetes. We aimed to confirm this association and to examine whether it is explained by adiposity.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSThe prospective European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-InterAct case-cohort study consists of 12,403 incident type 2 diabetes
Background: The metabolism of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-amyloid (A beta) is widely studied in Alzheimer's disease, where A beta deposition and plaque development are essential components of the pathogenesis. However, the physiological role of amyloid in the adult nervous system remains largely unknown. We have previously found altered cerebral amyloid metabolism in other neuroinflam
The consumption and production of livestock have a negative impact on the environment and climate. In many Western countries, the consumption is particularly high and it is expected to increase globally. This increase will lead to further pressure on already stressed planetary boundaries. Recently edible insects have been proposed to be an alternative to conventional meat, because they have a lowe
This paper examines social policy in the European Union with a specific focus on parental leave, in-cluding earmarked paternity leave. It traces the process of how the legislation of parental leave has gone through a process of Europeanization and through the decision-making process of the European Union, resulted in the Directive 2019/1158. Moreover, it aims at examining the Danish knowledge of t
The main monitoring method during labor is cardiotocography, CTG, which measures the fetal heartbeat, FHR, as well as the uterine contractions, TOCO. The CTG is a valuable tool in assessing the fetal status and it is evaluated intermittently by clinicians during the progress of the labor. However, abnormalities in the CTG are often non-specific which makes the interpretation difficult and inconsis
There is strong evidence that climate change has a direct impact on humans and extreme temperatures have been linked to negative health impacts and increasing mortality. The heat wave of 2018 caused up to 8.2% more deaths compared to the year before in Sweden, with higher impacts in other parts of the world. The fact that people spent almost 90% of their times indoors makes the indoor environment
The triple planetary crisis exerts high pressure on countries to transform their current economic system. The transition to a green economy is not only necessary to ensure sustainable development but also essential for countries to remain economically competitive. The neighbouring countries Panama and Costa Rica are both facing significant challenges under the green transition, despite their diffe
The period after birth, when an infant is initially exposed to vast amounts of environmental and microbial antigens, sets the stage for proper immune system development ensuing lifelong immunity. Simultaneous to this first-time exposure, the nursing mother provides immune protection via antibodies in the breast milk. Secretory Immunoglobulin A, as provided by the mother or produced intrinsically i
In May 2011 Tetra Pak launched the first carton bottle for aseptic milk, the Tetra Evero Aseptic (TEA). This Master Thesis aims to give proposals on how the future development of the mechanism working as a dolly when the inductor is making the longitudinal sealing (LS) on the package in the A6 filling machine, should be continued. The current LS mechanism is not fulfilling the requirements in func
