This study aims to increase the knowledge and understanding regarding the situation for undocumented immigrants in the Scandinavian welfare states, mainly from a Swedish perspective, but the situation in Denmark is also included in the discussion. Sweden and Denmark position themselves at the opposite sides of the spectrum regarding immigration policies within the European Union; Swedish immigrati
Avhandlingen, som består av fyra delstudier, är en femårsuppföljning av kvinnliga missbrukare, som var tvångsomhändertagna på Lunden mellan januari 1997 och december 2000, och som genomgick en omfattande utredning. Klienterna har systematiskt utretts med psykologiska och neuropsykologiska test i samarbete med personal och Lundens psykiater. Test och skattningsskalor som använts är standardiserade The study focus is a sample of women with drug dependence admitted to compulsory treatment according to the Swedish act of care for drug abusers (LVM, 1988:870) and according to the act of care for young persons (LVU, 1990:52). From a cohort consecutively admitted to residential treatment at Lunden between 1997 and 2000, a sample of 132 women was selected for a five year follow-up. They were evalu
Purpose of Review: Many aspects of reproduction have been associated with increased blood pressure and impaired glucose metabolism that reveals a subsequent increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this review is to assess reproductive life factors associated with an increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, e.g., early life programming, sexual, and reproductive health
The effects of inhaled 1,1,1-trichloroethane (3500, 6000, and 7800 ppm) on behavior, local cerebral blood flow, and local cerebral glucose consumption were studied in awake rats. The effect of the solvent inhalation on the EEG pattern and local cerebral blood flow was also studied in paralyzed animals under N2O analgesia. Exposure of awake animals to 6000 ppm 1,1,1-trichloroethane induced a decrea
This article examines the historical genesis, nature, features and international legal status of the Institute representation at the UN, both on the territory of the member states and of the member states to the UN. An attempt was made to reveal the status and characteristics of the offices of both the UN and its specialized agencies. On the basis of the analysis, proposals were made to strengthen
As the quest for knowledge translation from research to practice and policy contexts is growing stronger, researchers need to develop strategies for synthesizing research findings. Since home environments constitute an important context for the delivery of health care and social services to older adults and people aging with disabilities, research in this field can serve as an example for such end
This paper aims to support the decision-making tasks regarding the integration of packaging development into product development. Based on the study of the interactions of the product and packaging during the whole product life cycle, a set of packaging-related factors was extracted and mapped to a general product development model, which at a strategic level can be used to define an integrated pr
Introduction: Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) in older adults involves excessive worry and cognitive challenges. Verbal memory impairments is associated to hippocampal dysfunction, with cortisol and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) being important in hippocampal integrity. Research on hippocampal volume and verbal memory in older adults with GAD is limited, with mixed findings. This stu
I samband med den väldigt forcerade utbyggnaden av den gröna omställningen genom stora fabriker i norra Sverige ställs en rad frågor kring hanteringen av personal, säkerhet, likabehandling och ansvar. De arbetsrättsliga implikationerna är många. Den ursprungliga euforiska uppfattningen av etableringar som Northvolt i Skellefteå visade sig efterhand föra med sig betydande utmaningar. Texten, som är
Groundwater in most parts of the world is an important source of agricultural water supply for food production. Soil salinization, however, threatens groundwater quality and may cause irreparable damage to agricultural land. A key to tackling this threat is to analyze the link between agricultural crop water requirements and groundwater quality. This study aimed to investigate salinity effects on
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents a major clinical challenge due to its tumor microenvironment, which exhibits immune-suppressive properties that facilitate cancer progression, metastasis, and therapy resistance. Interleukin 1 (IL-1) signaling has been implicated as a driver in this process. Mechanistically, both IL-1α and IL-1β bind to the IL-1 receptor type 1, forming
Background: As the deadline for the Sustainable Development Goals approaches, financial protection in Cambodia remains inadequate, especially for nonpoor informal workers lacking formal social health protection coverage or access to other prepayment schemes. This exposes them to high out-of-pocket health expenditures (OOPE) and related financial hardship. To better understand the drivers behind th
Background: Inhibitory deficits are common in psychopathology. Emotion-related impulsivity (ERI) and rumination are general risk factors for psychiatric distress that are similarly associated with dysfunctional inhibition—particularly in affective contexts. A number of cognitive remediation procedures have been developed to improve inhibitory control; however, most remediation programs focus on “c
Sammanfattning Sverige har upprepade gånger fått kritik av olika FN – organ för att inte följa den internationella folkrätten för de rättigheter som ursprungsbefolkningar har, i Sveriges fall samerna. Kritiken handlar bland annat om samernas bristande inflytande på beslut som angår dem. Gruvnäringen anses vara ett stort problem då gruvnäringens intressen sätts före de samiska rättigheterna samtidiSummary Sweden has repeatedly been criticized by the UN for not following international human rights law for indigenous peoples, in the case of Sweden, the Saami. The criticism include the Saami people's lack of influence on decisions affecting them. The mining industry is considered to be a major problem because of its big impact on the Saami culture and the swedish mineral-law gets critic be
Uppsatsen utreder om rättsläget avseende begreppet ”sexuell handling som med hänsyn till kränkningens allvar är jämförlig med samlag” i 6 kap. 1 § 1 st. BrB är tydligt. Frågan är relevant eftersom begreppet utgör gränsdragningsrekvisitet mellan våldtäkt och andra sexualbrott och mellan våldtäkt och andra brott mot person. Lagstiftaren har medvetet utformat ett vagt gränsdragningsrekvisit med ett v
Rätt bakterier i tarmen kan göra det lättare att förbli smal Övervikt är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle. Övervikt och fetma kan kopplas ihop med ett antal sjukdomar som följd av övervikten. Personer med övervikt lider större risk att drabbas av hjärt– och kärlsjukdomar, diabetes typ 2 och även förtidig död. Det är visats av andra forskargrupper att överviktiga barn har en högre risk att själAbstract Problem with obesity is a growing health problem, and young children with obesity and overweight suffer a bigger risk to become overweight as adults. The aim of this study was to compare the differences which arise in the microbiota among preschool children who had participated in an intervention study. The present study includes two groups of children, whom had different body mass index
