This article is based on research performed in Lund on the taxation of women in income tax. This series of two articles deals with the question whether the family or the individual would be the most suitable unit of taxation. This second article discusses other criteria including tradition, status quo, ability to pay, solidarity within families, the UN social development goals (gender equality),
The role of muscle activation in both pathological and spastic populations is of interest for understanding central nervous system function. Muscle activation patterns may provide insight into pathological changes compared to healthy controls. To gain a better understanding of surgical interventions, gait muscle activation patterns are studied before and after surgery. Previous studies using surfa
You can save either David or Peter and Mary. Is there a compelling reason for saving the greater number? Taurek (1977) (in)famously denied it. In providing such reason one might attempt to establish that it is better if more people survive rather than fewer. This would settle the issue for consequentialists, but even non-consequentialists might find it relevant to the question at hand. The standar
The aggregation and accumulation of pathologic forms of the microtubule-associated tau protein into fibrils, eventually forming characteristic tangle pathology, hallmarks the majority of all dementia disorders which constitute the most prevalent family of neurodegenerative disorders. These so-called tauopathies are difficult to identify and diagnose, especially at early disease stages. The relativ
Autoantibodies to the C3 convertase of the alternative pathway of complement, called C3 nephritic factors (C3NeF), cause persistently low C3 in the circulation and production of C3 degradation fragments due to prolonged stabilization of the C3 convertase. C3NeF are associated with glomerulopathy, acquired partial lipodystrophy, and less frequently with increased susceptibility to meningococcal inf
Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put pressure on healthcare services, forcing the reorganisation of traditional care pathways. We investigated how physicians taking care of severe asthma patients in Europe reorganised care, and how these changes affected patient satisfaction, asthma control and future care. Methods In this European-wide cross-sectional study, patient
Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior
In 2012, there were 11 000 accidents and near-miss reported of which most of it can be prevented. Though reporting and investigating injuries present a more detailed picture, this is still a lagging indicator — measuring after the event. Recording and investigating near misses, on the other hand, can be used as a positive indicator of performance tool to fix problems before injuries occur. Employe
The aim of this study was to examine how school counsellors experienced and managed the circumstances of developing trustworthy relationships with pupils, while considering the obligation to report. We conducted six semistructured interviews consisting of school counsellors from diverse schools in the southern part of Sweden. The results are presented in three main themes, upon which the first the
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Allt flera människor flyr från sitt hemland pga. krig, hot eller förföljelse, de söker skydd hos mottagande land. Papperslösa personer tillhör dessa grupp av människor, de är en extremt utsatt grupp bland Europas befolkning både inom vården och bland allmänheten. De får oftast ojämlikt vård och riskerar därför att få sämre hälsoutfall jämfört med resten av befolkning. MajoriteteAbstract Background: An increasing number of people are fleeing their home countries due to war, threats, or persecution, seeking refuge in host countries. Undocumented individuals are part of this group, constituting an extremely vulnerable population in Europe, both in healthcare settings and among the public. They often receive unequal treatment and are at risk of poorer health outcomes compare
Several organizations claim menstruation and lack of proper sanitary protection to be one reason for lower school attendance in developing countries. These claims are stated to cause lower progression rates to secondary school among girls, and further increase the gender gap in enrollment to higher education. This study aims to examine the effects of menstruation on school attendance and to evalua
