Technique: A new double-cuff bidirectional antegrade and retrograde inner branched stent-graft with large diamond-shaped fenestration was designed for incorporation of a splenic artery. The inner cuffs of the

Hydration in Deep Eutectic Solvents Induces Non-monotonic Changes in the Conformation and Stability of Proteins

The preservation of labile biomolecules presents a major challenge in chemistry, and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as suitable environments for this purpose. However, how the hydration of DESs impacts the behavior of proteins is often neglected. Here, we demonstrate that the amino acid environment and secondary structure of two proteins (bovine serum albumin and lysozyme) and an antib

FIRE : A framework for integrating human rights and gender equality in disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation

This article introduces the Framework for Integrating Rights and Equality (FIRE): a transdisciplinary framework that builds synergies between human rights-based (HRBA) and gender equality approaches to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA). It describes how FIRE has been developed, tested and refined over the course of a five-year regional learning and technical coopera

Excavation to storytelling: Perspectives from archaeological heritagescapes in Sweden

Recent research has revealed that interdisciplinary work combining archaeological and heritage practice continues to be limited by enduring assumptions separating the two fields. Traditional structures and institutional barriers make it difficult to break away from what is expected in order to explore what is possible in what archaeologists and heritage practitioners ‘do’. Though archaeologists pl

Grönmålning i marknadsföring - En studie av det historiska, det nuvarande och det framtida rättsläget kring miljöpåståenden i marknadsföring

Konsumenters ökande miljömedvetenhet har lett till att miljöpåståenden med tiden fått ett större kommersiellt värde. I syfte att stärka regleringen av miljöpåståenden inom marknadsföring presenterade EU-kommissionen i början av 2022 ett förslag på ett nytt direktiv. Det föreslagna nya direktivet innebär en ändring av direktivet om otillbörliga affärsmetoder som implementerats i Sverige genom markThe growing environmental awareness from consumers has led to an increased commercial value for environmental claims. In the beginning of 2022, the European Commission proposed a new directive with the aim to strengthen the regulation of environmental claims. The new proposed directive is amending the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive that is implemented in Swedish law through the marketing l

Upphovsrättens stärkta ställning på internet - En utvärdering av artikel 17 DSM-direktivet i svensk upphovsrätt utifrån ett användarperspektiv

Artikel 17 DSM-direktivet har varit ett oerhört hett debattämne de senaste åren. Den juridiska debatten har främst centrerat kring frågor om yttrandefrihet på internet och kring risken för att artikeln skulle innebära slutet på det fria internetet för användaren. Farhågan för detta var reell och Sverige röstade slutligen nej till direktivet då det antogs av Europeiska rådet 2019. Trots direktivetsArticle 17 of the EU copyright directive has been an incredibly hot topic of debate in recent years. The legal discussion has mainly centered on issues of freedom of expression on the internet and the question of whether article 17 would mean the end of the free internet for the user. The fear of this led to Sweden finally voting no to the adoption of the directive in the European Council in 2019.

Climate Change Litigation – en analys av pågående klimattvister i Europadomstolen

I takt med att klimatförändringarna får allt större inverkan på människors liv och vardag ökar antalet rättstvister vars talan grundar sig i ett anspråk om att en mänsklig rättighet har kränkts i och med klimatförändringarna. Käromålet utgår från att en rättighet har kränkts med anledning av klimatförändringarna, och att staten bör hållas ansvarig på grund av dess försumliga eller bristfälliga hanAs climate change has an ever-greater impact on people's lives, the number of lawsuits based on a claim that a human right has been violated due to climate change is increasing. The claim assumes that a right has been violated due to climate change, and that the state should be held responsible because of its negligent or inadequate response to the climate changes. This essay examines and defi

Den icke-diskriminerande åldersdiskrimineringen - En analys av undantag från åldersdiskriminering

Age is one of our seven grounds of discrimination and the one that causes the most people to feel discriminated. In addition, it is a basis to which there are numerous of statutory exceptions which, despite the Discrimination Act, allow employers to disadvantage or discriminate people because of their age. The purpose of this essay was to investigate why and when it is permitted to make exceptions

Circulating vitamin D and breast cancer risk: an international pooling project of 17 cohorts

Laboratory and animal research support a protective role for vitamin D in breast carcinogenesis, but epidemiologic studies have been inconclusive. To examine comprehensively the relationship of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] to subsequent breast cancer incidence, we harmonized and pooled participant-level data from 10 U.S. and 7 European prospective cohorts. Included were 10,484 invasiv

”Vill du ha barn i framtiden?” En kvalitativ studie med fokusgruppsintervjuer för utvärdering av en fertilitetsposter.

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Det finns kunskapsbrister om fertilitet, vilket har visat sig påverka individers val av tidpunkt för familjebildning. Senarelagd familjebildning kan leda till ofrivillig barnlöshet eller färre antal barn än önskat. Initiativ för ökad kunskap om fertilitet har bland annat kritiserats för att inte vara tillräckligt skräddarsydda för olika målgrupper. Ökad fertilitetsmedvetenhet r

Aspects of immunogenetics, infections, and nutrition on the risk of celiac disease autoimmunity in an Ethiopian pediatric birth cohort

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated inflammatory disease of the intestine in genetically susceptible individuals caused by loss of tolerance to the storage proteins (gluten) in wheat, rye, and barley. Little is known about CD and associated risk factors in Sub-Saharan African countries including Ethiopia. The main aim of the present thesis was to explore how the incidence of celi

Utökade möjligheter att använda tidiga förhör – ytterligare en försvagning av rättssäkerheten?

Den ”nya” rättegångsbalken trädde i kraft 1948 vilket satte grunden för den svenska straffprocessen med flertalet grundläggande rättssäkerhetsprinci-per. Samhället som processen hade att hantera då – 1948 – avviker väsent-ligt från såväl dagens samhälle som brottslighet. Trots detta har reglerna som reglerar den svenska rättsprocessen, sedan de infördes förhållit sig relativt oförändrade. Den 1 jThe "new" Code of Criminal Procedure entered into force in 1948, which set the foundation for the Swedish criminal process with several basic principles of legal certainty. The society that the process had to deal with then – in 1948 – differs significantly from both today's society and today's crime. Despite this, the rules governing the Swedish legal process have, since they we

Chefers erfarenheter av att arbeta med aktiva åtgärder för att främja hbtqi-personers arbetsmiljö

Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har sämre hälsa än andra grupper, och att arbetsplatsen kan fungera som en skyddande faktor mot psykisk ohälsa. Denna studie undersöker hur chefer beskriver sina erfarenheter av att arbeta med aktiva åtgärder för att främja hbtqi-personers hälsa på arbetsplatsen, med syftet att generera kunskap som kan hjälpa chefer i deras arbete med att främja just detta. I denResearch shows that LGBTQI-people have more health issues compared to other groups, and that the place of work can act as a protective factor against mental illness. This study examines how managers describe their experience of working with active measures to promote the health of LBGTQI individuals in the workplace. The purpose of the study was to generate knowledge that can help managers in thei

Kontroll i arbetslivet – Om arbetsgivares rätt att kontrollera arbetstagares användning av teknisk arbetsutrustning i förhållande till arbetstagares rätt till privat- och familjeliv

Den tekniska utvecklingen under de senaste decennierna medför att allt fler metoder för att kontrollera arbetstagares användning av teknisk arbetsutrustning (såsom persondatorer och mobiltelefoner) står till arbetsgivares förfogande. Samtidigt innebär ändrade arbetsformer efter covid-19-pandemin att arbetsgivares behov av sådan kontroll har ökat. Uppsatsens syfte är därför att undersöka privata arThe technological development over the last decades means that an increasing number of methods for control of employees’ use of technical work equipment (including personal computers and cell phones) are available to employers. At the same time, changed forms of work after the COVID-19 pandemic have increased employers’ need for such controls. The purpose of this essay is thus to examine private e

Collective Diffraction Effects in Perovskite Nanocrystal Superlattices

ConspectusFor almost a decade now, lead halide perovskite nanocrystals have been the subject of a steadily growing number of publications, most of them regarding CsPbBr3 nanocubes. Many of these works report X-ray diffraction patterns where the first Bragg peak has an unusual shape, as if it was composed of two or more overlapping peaks. However, these peaks are too narrow to stem from a nanoparti
