Author: Theres Espfors Title: Criminal delinquency – risk factors , a qualitative study. Supervisor: Lars B. Ohlsson Assessor: Staffan Blomberg Criminal Delinquency is by no means a new phenomenon among young males. It has become increasingly serious during the course of the last 20 years and pertinent acts of criminal activity are carried out with much more dangerous and injurious weapons. The un
Fluorescence microscopy is an effective tool for imaging biological samples, yet captured images often contain noises, including photon shot noise and camera read noise. To analyze biological samples accurately, separating background pixels from signal pixels is crucial. This would ideally be guided by the knowledge of a parameter called the Poisson parameter, 𝜆bg, representing the mean number of

Youth delinquency is an international phenomenon that has an impact on different aspects of society. This study aimed to understand how social workers describe the causes of youth delinquency and their reflections on how they conduct the preventative work at social services. The chosen method was semi-structured interviews with six social workers in Skåne, all with a minimum of one year of working
Under senare år har situationer uppmärksammats där vuxna personer via internet kontaktat personer som de uppfattat som barn i sexuellt syfte, men där motparten i själva verket varit en vuxen person, ofta bakom en profil tillhörande ett fiktivt barn. Sådana situationer aktualiserar frågan om straffrätten bör ingripa mot ett handlande som framstår som klandervärt och typiskt sett syftar till sexuellIn recent years, situations have attracted attention in which adults have contacted persons online whom they believed to be children for sexual purposes, but where the other party was in fact an adult, often behind a profile belonging to a fictitious child. Such situations raise the question of whether criminal law should intervene against conduct that appears blameworthy and is typically aimed at
Kapitlet ger en sammanfattande bild av etableringsvillkoren för ungdomar (16-19 år) och unga vuxna (20-24 år) samt deras utanförskap i Sverige från början av 1990-talet fram till idag. Kapitlet omfattar tre avsnitt. I det första avsnittet ges en bakgrundsteckning om ungdomars etablering på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Översikten sammanfattar forskningsresultat om arbetsmarknad, utbildning och förs
Several studies have shown that alpha-ketoglutaric acid (AKG) increases serum levels of proline and has beneficial effects on skeletal development. We studied the effect of alpha-ketoglutaric (AKG) acid calcium salt (6 g AKG and 1,68 Ca/day) or calcium alone (1.68 Ca/day) on serum C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and osteocalcin (OC), as well as lumbar spine bone minera
Purpose:To correlate the parenchymal texture features at digital breast tomosynthesis(DBT)and digital mammography with breast percent density(PD), an established breast cancer risk factor, in a screening population of women. Materials and Methods: This HIPAA-compliant study was approved by the institutional review board. Bilateral DBT images and digital mammograms from 71 women (mean age, 54 years
BACKGROUND: Firefighting foam-contaminated ground water, which contains high levels of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), is frequently found around airports. In 2018 it was detected that employees at a municipal airport in northern Sweden had been exposed to high levels of short-chain PFAS along with legacy PFAS (i.e., PFOA, PFHxS, and PFOS) through drinking water.OBJECTIVES: In this study, we aim
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have shown that common genetic variation contributes to the heritable risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). To identify new susceptibility loci for the largest subtype of ALL, B-cell precursor ALL (BCP-ALL), we conducted a meta-analysis of two GWASs with imputation using 1000 Genomes and UK10K Project data as reference (totaling 1658 cases an
A major issue in Irish economic history is the lack of national accounts before the interwar period. This paper constructs new annual estimates of real GDP between 1842 and 1913 based on a novel two-stage econometric approach. Our results show that while living standards approximately tripled in this period, development was uneven with contractions in economic activity not only during the Great Fa
Rapport från ett seminarium sept. 2014 i Manama i Zimbabwe, om diakonens identitet i Lutherska kyrkan i Zimbabwe och i Sverige, två år efter den första vigningen (ordinationen) av diakoner i Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zombabwe.Report from a seminar i Manama in Zimbabwe September 2014: "The Identity of the Deacon in Zimbabwe and Sweden", two years after the first ordination of deacons in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe (ELCZ).
År 1960 upptäcktes Cesium-137-aktivitet från atmosfäriska kärnvapenprovvid mätningar på lågaktivitets laboratoriet iLund. Denna händelse initierade mätningar av den svenska samiska befolkningen och iprodukter från ren som betar i de svenska fjällen. En semi-bärbarhelkropps detektor konstruerades med en detektionsgräns för 137Cs som var tillräckligt bra för att mäta människor med högakroppskoncentrIn 1960 Caesium-137 activity from atmospheric nuclear weapons test was dis-covered in measurements at the whole body gamma-ray counting laboratory inLund. This event initiated measurements of the Swedish Sami population, and inproducts from reindeer that bite lichens in the Swedish mountains. A semi-portable whole-body counter designed with a detection limit for 137 Cs at high radiation background
Summary: The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and most efficient way of offering middle-aged Swedish women a primary fracture screening program via a questionnaire. Two out of five invited women returned the FRAX questionnaire and those contacted directly by mail were most prone to respond. Purpose: Osteoporosis and its associated fractures are increasing, and this study aims to ex
BACKGROUND: Oxaliplatin and Mitomycin C (MMC) are both suitable as intraperitoneal chemotherapy agents in HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal cancer (CRC).METHODS: Patient cohorts from two different HIPEC-centers underwent cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC with Oxaliplatin (39 patients) and MMC (56 patients), respectively. They were compared for toxicity and survival data. The ext
BACKGROUND: Exercise and education is recommended as first-line treatment by evidence-based, international guidelines for low back pain (LBP). Despite consensus regarding the treatment, there is a gap between guidelines and what is offered to patients. Digital LBP treatments are an emerging way of delivering first-line treatment.OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate outcomes after partic
Adaptive plasticity processes are required involving neurons as well as non-neuronal cells to recover lost brain functions after an ischemic stroke. Recent studies show that gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) has profound effects on glial and immune cell functions in addition to its inhibitory actions on neuronal circuits in the post-ischemic brain. Here, we provide an overview of how GABAergic neurot
