Inom den sociala barnavården och familjehemsplaceringar av barn finns det tre grundtankar, kontinuitet, flexibilitet och närhet. Vid en familjehemsplace-ring med stöd av lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga ska vår-den vara inriktad på att den unga ska återförenas med sina föräldrar, men det finns undantag. Flyttningsförbudet stadgas i 24 § LVU och ger möjligheten att införa ett förbudIn the field of child welfare there are three fundamental principles: continuity, flexibility and proximity. In the case of a family home placement according to The Care of Young Persons Act, the care must be aimed at reuniting the young person with their parents, but there are exceptions. Prohibition of relocation is regulated in section 24 of The Care of Young Persons Act and pro-vides the possi

This thesis examines transatlantic recusity relations in the context of Russias war in Ukraine. The study examines how the European Union and the United States have responded to Russian aggression in Ukraine, focusing on two phases of the conflict: the Russian annexation of Crimea 2014 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022. The study asks if the EU and US have been unified in their approaches a

Syfte: Att belysa de problem som finns vid värdeprövningen av goodwill. Tyngdpunkten ligger på problemen kring kassaflödesvärderingen av goodwill. Metod: Utifrån vår problemformulering har vi valt att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod. Vi har samlat in data från litteratur, intervjuer, regelverk samt artiklar och studier. Detta har vi bearbetat och analyserat för att komma fram till vår konklusio

Concentration of viable cell populations in suspension is of interest for several clinical and pre-clinical applications. Here, we report that microfluidic acoustophoresis is an effective method to efficiently concentrate live and viable cells with high target purity without any need for protein fluorescent labeling using antibodies or over-expression. We explored the effect of the acoustic field

Aircraft observations of precipitating clouds with cloud top temperatures higher than -38°C have revealed that Secondary Ice Production (SIP) is responsible for presence of majority of ice particles. One such SIP mechanism is fragmentation via collisions between ice particles. The central theme of this study is to understand the dependencies of this SIP mechanism and improve its existing numerical

Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). Currently, the European net land carbon sink is decreasing largely due to forest ageing (Pilli et al., 2022),

This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Johnson Matthey is a worldwide company working with sustainable technologies. The site in Perstorp, where this work was performed, focus on formaldehyde production. In order to continuously improve chemical processes, simulation and modeling are advantageous tools. They can give a better understanding of the processes

Den nya AI-boomen sänker kraftigt kostnaden för att bygga mjukvara, snabbar på imitationen och intensifierar konkurrensen inom Software as a Service (SaaS), vilket pressar betalningsviljan mot noll. Denna studie ställer två frågor: (1) vilka affärsmodellsinnovationer och utmaningar kännetecknar monetarisering av gratis digitala tjänster, och (2) hur kan dessa insikter tillämpas på ScanThisWine, etThe new AI-boom dramatically lowers the cost of building software, accelerates imitation, and intensifies competition in Software as a Service (SaaS), pushing willingness to pay towards zero. This study asks two questions: (1) which business model innovations and challenges characterise the monetisation of free digital services, and (2) how can these insights apply to ScanThisWine, a free e-label

Background Olaparib, a novel, orally active poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor, induced synthetic lethality in BRCA-deficient cells. A maximum tolerated dose and initial signal of efficacy in BRCA-deficient ovarian cancers have been reported. We therefore assessed the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of olaparib alone in women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and advanced breast cancer. M

Background: Selected patients with advanced germ cell tumors have a poor prognosis. These include patients with brain, bone or liver metastases, very elevated tumor markers or primary mediastinal tumor. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell support is recommended in the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group (SWENOTECA) guidelines in selected poor risk patients with poor r

Sammanfattning av Kapitel IV:Detta kapitel handlar om att kombinera Pre-kirurgisk strålbehandling och hypertermi (värmebehandling) med fokus på immunologiska effekter. Hypertermi (HT ca 41–44 °C) gör tumörceller mer känsliga för strålning (RT). Kliniska studier visar bättre respons och fler kompletta remissioner med kombinationen RT+HT jämfört med enbart strålning (RT) utan att öka allvarliga biv

Quantification using the Centiloid (CL) scale has become a valuable information to consider when interpreting amyloid-PET images and is now implemented in several software packages. This work aims to assess the comparability of CL from [18F]flutemetamol scans derived using several research and commercial quantification pipelines. Methods: This analysis relies on three datasets: a test-retest cohor

BACKGROUND: Long COVID has emerged as a global health challenge, with increasing evidence of cardiovascular sequelae. Most previous studies have focused on hospitalised cohorts, whereas cardiovascular risk in community-managed long COVID cases remains less explored. We aimed to investigate the incidence of major cardiovascular events in individuals with long COVID compared to those without long CO

Background: Knowledge is increasing about TSC-Associated Neuropsychiatric Disorders (TAND), but little is known about the potentially confounding effects of intellectual ability (IA) on the rates of TAND across age, sex, and genotype. We evaluated TAND in (a) children vs. adults, (b) males vs. females, and (c) TSC1 vs. TSC2 mutations, after stratification for levels of IA, in a large, internationa

Apart from the substantive public procurement rules, harmonising national provisions for the award of public contracts, the Community also strives to ensure compliance with those rules. For that purposes the Remedies Directive 89/665/EEC has been adopted to ensure that effective and rapid remedies are available to aggrieved bidders. This directive has recently been amended by Directive 2007/66/EC

The regulation of the European parliament and the Council (EG) nr. 864/2007 on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations is known as Rome II. Rome II contains a conflict rule in art. 7 which determines the law applicable to a claim involving environmental damages connected with more than one state. This conflict rule does not only apply to cases of damage to property and persons, but also

Context: The European Association of Urology (EAU) has released an updated version of the guidelines on non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Objective: To present the 2021 EAU guidelines on NMIBC. Evidence acquisition: A broad and comprehensive scoping exercise covering all areas of the NMIBC guidelines since the 2020 version was performed. Databases covered by the search included Medline,

Human complex-forming glycoprotein, heterogeneous in charge (protein HC) has previously been isolated from urine and immunochemically shown to be present in low and high molecular weight forms in blood plasma (Tejler, L., and Grubb, A. O. (1976) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 439, 82-94). In the present work, the major low and high molecular weight forms of the protein were isolated from plasma by immunos

Objective: The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) 2012 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) classification criteria and the revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1997 criteria are list based, counting each SLE manifestation equally. We derived a classification rule based on giving variable weights to the SLICC criteria and compared its performance to the revised ACR
