Background: Flu vaccination significantly reduces the risk of serious complications like hospitalization and death among community-dwelling older people, therefore vaccination programmes targeting this population group represent a common policy in developed Countries. Among the determinants of vaccine uptake in older age, a growing literature suggests that social relations can play a major role. M

BACKGROUND: Although people with intellectual disability (ID) and people with dementia have high drug prescription rates, there is a lack of studies investigating drug use among those with concurrent diagnoses of ID and dementia.AIM: To investigate the use of antipsychotics, benzodiazepine derivatives, and drugs recommended for dementia treatment (anticholinesterases [AChEIs] and memantine) among

Background: Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is associated with relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and is a diagnostic challenge. Procedure: In a Nordic/Baltic prospective study, we assessed centralized flow cytometry (FCM) of locally fixed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples versus local conventional cytospin-based cytology (CC) for detecting leukemic cells and evaluati

BACKGROUND: Maintenance of the botanical integrity of cereal kernels and the addition of acetic acid (as vinegar) in the product or meal has been shown to lower the postprandial blood glucose and insulin response and to increase satiety. However, the mechanism behind the benefits of acetic acid on blood glucose and satiety is not clear. We hypothesized that the gastric emptying rate could be invol

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of first-time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) in patients with preoperatively negative sestamibi scintigraphy and ultrasound. METHODS: Data were gathered prospectively in a multicenter database for quality control in parathyroid surgery. Between 2004 and 2008, 3,158 patients underwent first-time surgery for sp

Dagligen möts vi av bilder på barn som vårdnadshavare har publicerat på sociala medier. Ett exempel på detta är Calle Schulmans Instagramkonto där videoklipp på hans femåriga dotter läggs upp regelbundet. Frågan uppkommer om, och i vilken utsträckning, en vårdnadshavare får publicera personlig information om sitt barn. Vilka rättsliga medel och möjligheter finns att tillgå för barn om de känner siDaily we encounter pictures of children on social media, published by their custodians. One example of this is the Instagram account of Calle Schulman, where video sequences of his five-year-old daughter are frequently published. This raises the question whether custodians are allowed to publish personal information in this manner. What legal measures and opportunities are available to children wh

Hur kan biologisk mångfald gynnas i en företagspark? Hur ska både människor och natur få plats i en alltmer urbaniserad värld? Kunskapen om hur biologisk mångfald påverkas av byggnadsprojekt behöver öka, samtidigt som stadens gröna områden behöver stödjas och utvecklas för att gynna fler arter. I mitt examensarbete har jag undersökt förutsättningarna för fåglar och pollinerande insekter i företagUrbanization is causing impact on biodiversity and ecosystem services globally, due to disturbance, fragmentation and loss of habitats as the proportion of urban settlement increases. Actions for enhancement of biodiversity in urban spaces become important to achieve a sustainable urbanization. Wihlborgs Fastigheter AB, a housing company in the Öresund Region, has installed eleven nest boxes for b

Implementation av ozonering som teknik på avloppsreningsverk är en av de lösningar som har visat sig effektiv för att avlägsna läkemedelsrester och andra mikroföroreningar och förhindra att de hamnar i naturliga vattendrag. Uppkomsten av transformationsprodukter till följd av ozonering och hur väl ett efterföljande biologiskt reningssteg kan ta hand omdem ett område där mer kunskap behövs. I dettaThe implementation of ozonation technology in sewage treatment plants is a solution that has proven efficient in removing residual pharmaceutical substances and other micropollutants to prevent their spreading in natural water bodies. The appearance of transformation products originating from micropollutants as a result of ozonation, and how well biological post treatment can remove these is a res

“The code that guides the Path” Geosmin is a volatile metabolite that smells like the earthy odorant that is mostly predominant after a heavy rain fall; what produces this intensive surge of geosmin in the air is from the spore producing family streptomycetaceae. Not only do these bacteria produce a scent that most people find pleasant to smell, they also play a key role in modern society. Why th

5-Keto-D-gluconic acid (5-KGA) is a valuable compound that has a wide range of applications in the chemical and food industries and is commonly used as a precursor for manufacturing tartaric acid (TA). Industrial production of 5-KGA through chemical approaches was practiced in the early 1920’s and was dropped immediately due to several drawbacks because of its complicated process that resulted in

En parts tillgång till information i en rättegång blir ofta avgörande för hur väl denne kan tillvarata sin rätt. Det är som huvudregel upp till parterna själva att anskaffa informationen, men det finns undantag. För de fall en informations-innehavare vid den utomprocessuella informationsanskaffningen inte med-verkar kan domstolen ibland bistå med informationsanskaffningen. InformationsanskaffningA party's access to information is crucial within the litigation process. In the event of a legal dispute, the main rule is that the parties must take care of gathering the necessary information on their own. However, there are exceptions. For those cases where the information holder does not cooperate, the court can assist with the information-gathering. Obtaining information in the event of

INTRODUCTION: Sex steroids are important for growth and maintenance of the skeleton. Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is an estrogen degrading enzyme. The COMT val158met polymorphism results in a 60-75% difference in enzyme activity between the val (high activity=H) and met (low activity=L) variants. We have previously reported that this polymorphism is associated with bone mineral density (BMD

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inledning I detta avhandlingsarbete studeras Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) och influensa virus ur olika perspektiv. Dessa två smittämnen orsakar båda årliga utbrott med luftvägsinfektioner som ibland blir omfattande epidemier. I båda fallen kan symptomen variera från lätta förkylningsbesvär till mycket svåra, ibland livshotande lunginflammationer. Infektion med MycoplasmaDiagnostic tests based on nucleic acid amplification have become available for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) and influenza viruses. Here, an MP PCR test detected 100% of infections during the first three symptomatic weeks, whereas classical serology detected 21% week 1, 56% week 2, and 100% week 3. Positive PCR results were uncommon in healthy individuals. Levels of MP DNA were significantly higher i

Den tilltalades tidigare brottslighet kan i svensk rätt påverka påföljdsbestämningen för ny brottslighet, dvs. straffmätning och påföljdsval, på främst tre sätt. I första hand kan den tidigare brottsligheten beaktas genom ett skärpt påföljdsval. I andra hand har rätten möjlighet att förklara villkorligt medgiven frihet förverkad. I sista hand finns det genom straffskärpning möjlighet att förlänga

Utopia. The Right to Hope27.09.2025 – 11.01.2026“You may say I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one,” wrote John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the opening lines of “Imagine,” one of the world’s most famous songs. Though the song is more than half a century old, its vision of various utopian ideals remains relevant today: a world without war, hunger, greed, and hatred—a peaceful, sustainable, and livable

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b

Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing have uncovered that the vast majority of the cellular genome encodes for a myriad of noncoding RNAs, which lack coding potential for proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that ncRNA classes are involved in important processes that help in decoding the genetic information within cells. A striking example is the family of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs)
