MATERIALS AND METHODS: Published articles on hereditary prostate cancer were identified using the MEDLINE data base. RESULTS: A risk of prostate cancer, particularly early onset disease, is strongly affected by family history (number of relatives with pr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cirkulationen i de minsta kärlen, de s.k. mikrovaskulära utbyteskärlen är viktig för vävnadens syre- och näringstillförsel. Mikrocirkulationen utgörs av de minsta artärerna, kapillärerna, och de minsta venerna. I kapillärerna och i de minsta venerna sker utbytet av näring, syre, samt koldi-oxid och andra metabola restprodukter. För fettlösliga ämnen som koldioxid och syThis thesis presents some effects of Rho kinase, prostacyclin (PGI2) and nitric oxide (NO) in relation to trauma and inflammation by evaluating their effects on microvascular perfusion and permeability in mouse brain and in cat skeletal muscle. PGI2 and NO are endogenous vasoactive substances produced by the endothelium. They are vasodilators with antiaggregatory/antiadhesive and permeability-redu
BACKGROUND: An increasing incidence of penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (PRP) was detected in Malmo in 1994. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate clonality and factors facilitating the spread of PRP among children in day-care centers (DCCs). METHODS: We used phenotypic and DNA-fingerprinting methods in conjunction with epidemiologic data from the South Swedish Pneumococcal Intervention Project's in
Popular Abstract in Swedish Många tolkningar och användningsområden har av olika forskare föreslagits för det gammaltestamentliga offret shelamin. Detta offer hade också en oklar plats i den israelitiska kulturen. Avsaknaden av konsensus och misslyckandet med att nå fram till en tillfredsställande lösning på gåtan gör shelamim till ett intressant offer att undersöka med hjälp av modern ritualforsk
The size and shape of the cockerel comb, ran be regarded as secondary sexual characters or sexual ornaments. Sexual characters are assumed to be costly to express and the expression of a secondary sexual character is suggested to be favourably correlated with the bearer's condition or fitness. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of selection for male sexual characters, the correlated
Genom reformen en modernare rättegång gjordes möjligheten för parter att närvara vid domstolssammanträden via ljud- och/eller bildöverföring permanent. Användningen av sådana lösningar har ökat under de senaste åren och accelererades av covid-19-pandemin. I experimentell miljö har det återkommande observerats att vittnens och målsägandes utsagor uppfattas som mindre tillförlitliga om de presenterThrough the reform en modernare rättegång [a more modern trial] the possibility for parties to attend court hearings via video and/or audio was made permanent. The use of such solutions has increased over the last years and was accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic. In experimental settings it has repeatedly been observed that witnesses’ and complainants’ testimonies are perceived as less credibl
Rekvisitet verksam i betydande omfattning återfinns i 57 kap 4 § inkomstskattelagen.

Det blir allt vanligare att människor flyttar mellan länder för att bo, studera, arbeta eller leva som pensionär. Till en persons hemvist knyts allt fler rättigheter och skyldigheter i samhället vilket skapar ett ökat behov för individen och staten att kunna fastställa var en person har sin hemvist. Idag finns ingen enhetlig tolkning av hemvistbegreppet. En persons hemvist kan därför variera mellaToday it is common for people to move across borders to live, study, work or retire. A person’s residence is linked to an increasing number of rights and obligations in society, which creates an increased need for both the individual and the state to determine where a person has its residence in different situations. Today there is no uniform interpretation of the concept. Where a person is consid
Numerous broad insights have emerged in the last decades concerning the invasive non-indigenous round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and its expanding presence in the Baltic Sea. The waters surrounding the Danish isles are the final frontiers separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea, and although they offer highly favourable habitats, the biotic resistance in Öresund by native competitors might
Under de senaste åren har ett antal fall av hets till självmord på internet och sociala medier uppmärksammats såväl nationellt som internationellt. Under våren år 2018 rapporterade medier i Sverige om ett svenskt fall där en polisman givit en ung kvinna instruktioner via sms om hur hon bäst skulle begå självmord. Eftersom självmord och självmordsförsök inte är kriminaliserat blir medverkansreglernIn recent years, a number of cases of incitement to suicide on the internet and social media have been highlighted both nationally and internationally. In spring 2018, media reported on a Swedish case where a policeman gave a young woman instructions through text messages about how to best commit suicide. Since suicide and suicide attempts are not criminalized, the rules of complicity are not appl
Grov kvinnofridskränkning är ett av de svåraste brotten att bevisa. Ofta är situationen sådan att ord står mot ord. Domstolen har då att bedöma trovärdigheten och tillförlitligheten i målsägandens utsaga, för att bedöma om utsagan, tillsammans med vad som övrigt visats i målet, kan styrka åtalet bortom rimligt tvivel. Hur denna bevisvärdering går till är i enlighet med den fria bevisprövningens prGross violation of a woman’s integrity is one of the most difficult crimes to prove. Most often, one person's word stand against another. In such cases, the court has to prove the credibility and reliability of the plaintiff's oral statement in order to assess if it, together with the other circumstances of the case, can prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Due to the principle of free
Although clinical stage I (CS I) testicular cancer is highly curable, the optimal management is controversial. The aims of the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group (SWENOTECA) studies for CS I non-seminoma (NS) and seminoma (S) have been to reduce treatment intensity while maintaining high survival rates, reduce the number of patients needing salvage treatment and implement patient autono
Objectives: Short relative telomere length (RTL) is associated with vascular ageing, inflammation and cardiovascular risk factors. Previous studies have reported an association between abdominal aortic aneurysm and short RTL. The presence of atherosclerosis among patients with aneurysm disease may, however, be a confounder. The aim was to explore the associations between short RTL and aneurysm dis
Nanotechnology gives us materials with enhanced or completely new properties. At the same time, inhalation of manufactured nano-objects has been related to an array of adverse biological effects. We characterized particle emissions, which occurred during maintenance of common metal nanoparticle generators and contrasted the properties of the emitted particles with those originally produced by the
Parental type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of diabetic nephropathy in offspring with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that predispose to type 2 diabetes mellitus have recently been identified. It is, however, not known whether such SNPs also confer susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. We genotyped nine S
Today we live in an interconnected world. Through globalization and the development of information technology one can say that, today everyone is our neighbour. The result of our actions can easily spread and affect people on the other side of the world within seconds. Meanwhile, Third World countries are developing into stable economies and Western European corporations are expanding like never

Sedan miljöbalken trädde i kraft den 1 januari 1999 har ett antal rättsfall kommit vilka behandlar verksamhetsutövares ansvar för föroreningar som har skett före det datum då miljöskyddslagen trädde i kraft den 1 juli 1969. I 8§ i lagen om införande av miljöbalken är frågan om under vilka förutsättningar en verksamhetsutövare är ansvarig för gamla föroreningar tydlig; utövaren är ansvarig om den mThe Environmental Code (Miljöbalken) came into force 1 January 1999. Since then, there have been several legal cases that concern the operator’s liability for contaminated land. Some of these cases concern pollution that have occurred before 1 July 1969, when the Environmental Law (Miljöskyddslagen) came into force. The Environmental Code and the Promulgation Law sets out clear conditions of lia
Even though protonemal development of bryophytes has been well studied, it remains unknown whether interspecific competition among mosses species affects their early growth and development. This study evaluated the effects of interspecific competition on in vitro germination and gametophyte development between each pair-wise combination from six common moss species: Atrichum undulatum, Bryum argen
