Det relativt nya fenomenet reality-serier blir allt populärare och upptar en stor del av dagens tv-tablå. Fenomenet tillsammans med övrig massmedia har större inflytande och påverkan på samhället och oss människor än någonsin tidigare. Man diskuterar alkoholens roll i samhället, dess konsekvenser för relationer, hälsa o.s.v. Sedan TV kom har även alkoholens representation i TV kommit att bli en he
I denna uppsats behandlas den svenska regleringen av barnpornografibrottet och vad den omfattar efter 2010 års lagändring. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa om syftet med lagändringen har uppnåtts, att göra all befattning olagligt för att mer effektivt kunna bekämpa barnpornografi. Uppsatsen ger en detaljerad redogörelse för de ändringar som gjorts sedan regleringen infördes 1980. Utöver det tas In this essay the Swedish regulation regarding child pornography is discussed focused on parts included in the regulation after the amendment 2010. The purpose is to discuss if the intention with the new amendment has been achieved, that is to criminalize all types of behaviors related to child pornography for enabling more effective crime prevention. The essay presents a thorough review on what c
On April 6, 1994, one of the most brutal and effective ethnic cleansing the world has ever seen was to set off. For a hundred days forward, an estimated number of 800.000 people were killed by their neighbors. The French have been accused of knowing about the planning and recruitment to the genocide, they have even been accused of have taken a direct part in the killings. For a long time the Frenc
Objectives: The use of rituximab (RTX) in multiple sclerosis (MS) is a rapidly increasing choice of disease-modifying therapy. Efficacy outside specialized university hospital-based care is not yet systematically investigated. Our aim was to evaluate off-label RTX treatment for MS at a general hospital in Sweden. Materials and Methods: Subjects with definite MS with at least one rituximab infusio
Introduction: Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) is a disabling condition that may require complex surgical treatment. Little is known about the incidence of AAFD in the general population and specifically of AAFD requiring specialist care. We aimed to describe the incidence of AAFD referred to specialist care in the Swedish general population. Methods: We conducted a nation-wide epidemiolog
Similar to most countries, the Brazilian water resources management considers topographically delineated catchment as a territorial unit for policy implementation. Yet, previous studies have shown that catchments are not hydrologically isolated, and topographic limits often neglect the groundwater boundaries. Thus, studies on effective catchment areas are promising for shedding light on inter-catc
This paper provides the preliminary findings of a newly granted two-year project investigating the adoption of disruptive technologies, by focusing on the case of additive manufacturing (AM) in the medical technology (MedTech) industry, particularly implant applications. This is done by (I) stakeholder mapping of the industry in Australia. This included members of industry, researchers, academics,
The EC Directive 2013/59/Euratom states in article 56 that exposures of target volumes in nuclear medicine treatments shall be individually planned and their delivery appropriately verified. The Directive also mentions that medical physics experts should always be appropriately involved in those treatments. Although it is obvious that, in nuclear medicine practice, every nuclear medicine physician
Objective In patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) on combination therapy (infliximab and immunosuppressant) and stopping infliximab (cohort from the study of infliximab diSconTinuation in CrOhn’s disease patients in stable Remission on combined therapy with Immunosuppressors (STORI)), the risk of short-term (≤6 months) and mid/long-term relapse (>6 months) was associated with distinct blood protein
Maintaining nuclear integrity is essential to cell survival when exposed to mechanical stress. Herpesviruses, like most DNA and some RNA viruses, put strain on the nuclear envelope as hundreds of viral DNA genomes replicate and viral capsids assemble. It remained unknown, however, how nuclear mechanics is affected at the initial stage of herpesvirus infection—immediately after viral genomes are ej
Purpose: To monitor cardiovascular health, in 2022, the American Heart Association (AHA) updated the construct “Life’s Simple 7” (LS7) to “Life’s Essential 8” (LE8). This study aims to analyze the associations and capacity of discrimination of LE8 and LS7 in relation to self-rated health (SRH) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Methods: This study from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage
Introduction: The aim was to evaluate two biomarker scores trained to identify comorbidity burden in the prediction of specified chronic morbidities, and mortality in the general population. Methods: Cardiovascular biomarkers were measured in the cardiovascular cohort of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study. A score of 19 biomarkers associated with Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) was created (BSMDC).
Objective Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a rare, progressive and fatal condition caused by deposition of transthyretin amyloid fibrils in the heart. This study aims to identify all patients diagnosed with ATTR-CM in Sweden, estimate the prevalence of ATTR-CM, describe patient characteristics and mortality, assess the importance of early symptoms (red flags) for identification of
The present work performs unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations to study the effect of turbulence-chemistry interaction (TCI) on diesel spray flames. Three nozzle diameters (d0) of 100, 180, and 363 μm are considered in the present study. The Eulerian stochastic fields (ESF) method (with the TCI effect) and well-stirred reactor (WSR) model (without the TCI effect) are considered in
Calvin, an Ericsson application framework for Internet of Things (IoT), simplifies the development and deployment of applications for IoT systems where many heterogeneous devices are deployed and connected through the Internet. The application engineer just needs to design and codify the application applying Calvin syntax. The Calvin environment is formed by runtimes and applications. The runtime
The journey of a nerve cell Our body contains a complex network of nerve cells that form connections. Imagine if one of these connections is broken, just like when a power line is cut off, electricity cannot flow to the destination. In the same way if a connection is broken in the central nervous system, electrical synapses cannot travel to their destination. When drawing power lines they requir
This master’s thesis report describes the development of a new system for control and monitoring of a helium liquefaction plant which has been carried out at Kryolab, Lund University. At the plant, helium gas is purified and then cooled in several steps until it condensates. The plant is very similar to the ones constructed today, but Kryolab wished to replace the outdated control system. The new
Bakgrund Truppgymnastik är en relativt ny och populär sport som ursprungligen kommer från Skandinavien. Sporten är indelad i tre delar; tumbling, trampett och fristående. Det är avancerade rutiner och kroppen utsätts för stora krafter vilket kan leda till ökad skaderisk. Vilken typ av skador som är vanligast, skadeincidensen och i vilka moment som skadorna uppkommer inom truppgymnastik är ett rela
