Aim: Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation can compromise the functionality of the skin barrier through various mechanisms. We hypothesize that UVB induce photochemical alterations in the components of the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum (SC), and modulate its antioxidative defense mechanisms. Catalase is a well-known antioxidative enzyme found in the SC where it acts to scavenge
Background: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is rare but aggressive. The extent of surgical intervention for different GBC stages is non-uniform, ranging from cholecystectomy alone to extended resections including major hepatectomy, resection of adjacent organs and routine extrahepatic bile duct resection (EBDR). Robust evidence here is lacking, however, and survival benefit poorly defined. This study ass
This is a two-part presentation of a non-traditional transposition and improvisation technique, first demonstrating the transposition practice itself, as I have developed it to date, then demonstrating how I have employed it both in research and in teaching. Transposition of non-musical sources, especially field recordings and incongruent real world sounds from a variety of environments, is a part
Background: Somatostatin receptor 68Ga PET imaging is standard for evaluation of a patient’s suitability for 177Lu peptide receptor radionuclide therapy of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). The 68Ga PET serves to ensure sufficient somatostatin receptor expression, commonly evaluated qualitatively. The aim of this study is to investigate the quantitative relationships between uptake in 68Ga PET and ab
Context. The high quality of the Gaia mission data has allowed for studies of the internal kinematics of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) to be undertaken in unprecedented detail, providing insights into the non-axisymmetric structure of its disc. Recent works by the Gaia Collaboration have already made use of the excellent proper motions of Gaia DR2 and Gaia EDR3 for a first analysis of this sort
STOFFENMANAGER® and the Advanced REACH Tool (ART) are recommended tools by the European Chemical Agency for regulatory chemical safety assessment. The models are widely used and accepted within the scientific community. STOFFENMANAGER® alone has more than 37 000 users globally and more than 310 000 risk assessment have been carried out by 2020. Regardless of their widespread use, this is the first
In patients with suspected venous thromboembolism (VTE), it is recommended to estimate the pre-test probability of VTE, either by experience or by standardized scoring schemes (e.g. Wells or Geneva score), before performing a D-dimer test [1], [2]. Patients with a low probability or unlikely VTE should have D-dimer performed, and if negative, VTE can be excluded, without further investigations, wh
Periprostheteic joint infection (PJI) is a rare complication of arthroplasty with severe consequences for the affected patients. PJI most often necessitates additional surgery and prolonged courses of antibiotic treatment, leading to worse functional results and increased societal costs. Evaluating treatment of PJI as well as preventive efforts are essential to increase our understanding of PJI an
Population ageing means that increasingly many are faced with the dual demands of paid work while providing unpaid care to older family members. Caregiving requires time and energy, with implications for paid work and well-being. The challenges faced by individuals add up and therefore also impact national economies. This dissertation provides insights into the implications of unpaid caregiving fo
Background: The instant, single-sampling rule-out of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still an unmet clinical need. We aimed at testing and comparing diagnostic performance and prognostic value of two different single-sampling biomarker strategies for the instant rule-out of AMI. Methods: From the Biomarkers in Acute Cardiac Care (BACC) cohort, we recruited consecutive patients with acute ches
Norra Djurgårdsstaden är ett stadsutvecklingsområde i nordöstra Stockholm och har delvis marksanerats ned till grundvattennivån. De föroreningar som förekommit är polycykliska aromater, cyanider, tungmetaller och BTEX. 2003 inleddes en omfattande markundersökning varpå man hittade höga halter bensen i ett av grundvattenrören. Undersökningen följdes upp med ett in-situ försök att avlägsna föroreninNorra Djurgårdsstaden is an urban area in northeastern Stockholm and has been soil remediated down to the water table. The contamination in the area includes polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), cyanide, heavy metals and BTEX.

Sammanfattning En sedan länge efterfrågad genomgång av de EG-rättsliga konkurrensreglerna inleddes med Kommissionens vitbok den 28 april 1999. Denna så kallade Moderniseringsreform ledde bl.a. till Rådets förordning 1/2003 om tillämpning av konkurrensreglerna i artiklarna 81 och 82 i EG-fördraget. Denna trädde i kraft den 1 maj 2004 samtidigt som tio nya stater tillträdde EU. Den nya förordningen Summary A long-sought review of the EC competition law was initiated with the Commission's White Paper on 28 April 1999. This so-called modernizing reform resulted, inter alia, in Council Regulation 1/2003 on the implementa-tion of the rules on competition laid down in Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty. The regulation came into force on the 1 May 2004 at the same time as ten new states joined t
Bygg- och servicesektorn står idag för mer än en tredjedel av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Energifrågan ligger i fokus och samhället strävar efter en mer hållbar utveckling. Samtidigt ökar elpriserna vilket lämnar många hushåll med dyra räkningar för uppvärmning av sina småhus. En stor del av Sveriges småhus byggdes under 70-talet i samband med miljonprogrammet. Villabyggandet var som mest The construction and service sector currently accounts for over one-third of Sweden's total energy consumption. Energy issues are at the forefront, and society is striving for more sustainable development. At the same time, electricity prices are increasing, leaving many households with expensive bills for heating their houses. A significant portion of Sweden's houses were built during th
Teknikutvecklingen, särskilt inom AI, har möjliggjort produktion av deepfakes, det vill säga artificiellt genererat eller manipulerat material som kan framstå som mycket autentiskt. Samtidigt har digitaliseringen medfört att digital bevisning fått en allt mer central roll i rättsprocesser. Detta aktualiserar nya rättsliga utmaningar, eftersom möjligheten att skapa övertygande falskt material riskeTechnological development, particularly within AI, has enabled production of so-called deepfakes, i.e., artificially generated or manipulated material that may appear highly authentic. At the same time, digitalisation has made digital evidence central in legal proceedings. This creates new legal challenges, since convincing false material may undermine the reliability of digital evidence. The pur
I uppsatsen analyseras 2026 års reform av fåmansföretagsreglerna mot bakgrund av lagstiftarens ambition att förenkla 3:12-regelverket och möjliggöra en ökad automatisering av deklarationsförfarandet för delägare i fåmansföretag. 3:12-reglerna har under lång tid kritiserats för sin komplexitet, bland annat på grund av att regelverket successivt har tillkommit och balanserar svårförenliga mål. Mot dThe thesis analyses the 2026 reform of the closely held company rules in light of the legislature’s aim to simplify the 3:12 rules and facilitate increased automation of the tax return procedure for their shareholders. The 3:12 rules have long been criticized for their complexity, partly due to their incremental development and need to balance conflicting objectives. Against this backdrop, a commi
Det här examensarbetet behandlar Suzukipedagogiken och barns upplevelser av föräldrars aktiva stöd och engagemang när deras barn lär sig spela ett musikinstrument. Undervisningsmetoden bygger på interaktionen mellan elev, förälder och lärare, vilket utgör Suzukipedagogikens hörnstenar. För examensarbetets utförande valde jag ut fyra informanter, utifrån kriteriet att de skulle ha haft minst en för
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om kapitalvinster som uppkommit genom ett bedrägligt förfarande och som därmed grundats på en civilrättsligt ogiltig avyttring kan anses skattepliktiga enligt inkomstskattelagen. Bakgrunden är förvaltningsrättens avgörande i mål 13373–23. Domstolen menade på att kapitalvinstbeskattning skulle ske, trots att den skattskyldige blivit frånhänd sina tillgångar genom bedrThis thesis examines whether capital gains arising from fraudulent conduct, and thus based on a civil law invalid transfer, can be taxable under the Swedish Income Tax Act. The analysis is prompted by a decision of the Administrative Court in case no. 13373–23, in which the court held that capital gains taxation should apply even though the taxpayer had been deprived of the assets through fraud. T
Denna uppsats undersöker rationaliteten i att åldersgränserna för straffbarhet och sexuell självbestämmanderätt skiljer sig åt eller sammanfaller. Sedan lång tid tillbaka har en 15-årsgräns enligt svensk rätt gällt för både straffbarhet och sexuell självbestämmanderätt. Nu föreslås däremot genom slutbetänkandet Straffbarhetsåldern (SOU 2025:11) att straffbarhetsåldern ska sänkas till 14 år för broThis essay examines the rationality of how the age limits for criminal liability and sexual self-determination coincide or differ. For a long time, Swedish law has set the age of 15 for both criminal liability and sexual self-determination. However, the final report Straffbarhetsåldern (SOU 2025:11) now proposes that the age of criminal responsibility be lowered to 14 for crimes that carry a minim
