Barn i migrationsprocessen

I den här rapporten beskriver vi hur rättstillämpningen, såsom de n framkommer i 100 av Migrationsverkets beslut, 17 av myndighetens akter samt 20 tjänstemäns intervjusvar, stämmer överens med de rättigheter asylsökande barn har enligt barnkonventionen och de tilläggsprotokoll till konventionen som Sverige har ratificerat.

Technologies of Displacement and Children’s Right to Asylum in Sweden

Through an analysis of 100 asylum decisions and 10 interviews with 20 asylum officers at the Swedish Migration Agency this article reveals two intricate processes through which children’s rights are displaced in the Swedish asylum process; by overlooking children’s individual claims for asylum through a circle of neglect, and negating children’s best interests. The article demonstrates how the bal

Image & Identity

This chapter examines the emergence of nation brands discourse in the mid-1990s. It includes Robin Cook’s ethical foreign policy agenda which proposed a “people’s diplomacy”; the infamous discourses around Cool Britannia; a case study of the first contemporary diplomatic promotional campaign, new IMAGES, which was held in Australia in 1997; the major internal change study, Foresight; the Panel 200

Impact on follow-up strategies in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis

Background & Aims: Evidence for the benefit of scheduled imaging for early detection of hepatobiliary malignancies in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is limited. We aimed to compare different follow-up strategies in PSC with the hypothesis that regular imaging improves survival. Methods: We collected retrospective data from 2975 PSC patients from 27 centres. Patients were followed from th

Understandable multifunctionality measures using Hill numbers

In ecology, multifunctionality metrics measure the simultaneous performance of multiple ecosystem functions. If species diversity describes the variety of species that together build the ecosystem, multifunctionality attempts to describe the variety of functions these species perform. A range of methods have been proposed to quantify multifunctionality, successively attempting to alleviate problem

Engagement

This chapter examines how the Iraq War shook public confidence in government communications, and the impact of the Phillis Review upon public diplomacy theory and practice. It covers the Carter Review, which assessed levels of accountability in public diplomacy expenditure, and advised the creation of a new oversight board, the Public Diplomacy Board; efforts to make public and digital diplomacy p

Introduction : The Study of Gender, Diplomacy and Negotiation

The introduction takes off from the inspirational question raised by Cynthia Enloe (1990) over two decades ago: “Where are the women?” In the field of diplomacy, this problematic has received scant attention. The introduction provides for an elaborated discussion of the state-of-the-art in the study of gender, diplomacy and international negotiation. Three core research questions guide the advance

Conclusion : The Quest for Gender Justice in Diplomacy

In this last chapter, a series of more general propositions about contemporary gender and diplomacy are identified from the contributions to this book. First, it provides a historical narrative on the exclusions and inclusions in diplomacy over time, suggesting the contours of general trends in the quest to end formal barriers and bring about gender parity. Second, it critically analyses the gende

Multilevel modelling for measuring interaction of effects between multiple categorical variables : An illustrative application using risk factors for preeclampsia

Background: Measuring multiple and higher-order interaction effects between multiple categorical variables proves challenging. Objectives: To illustrate a multilevel modelling approach to studying complex interactions. Methods: We apply a two-level random-intercept linear regression to a binary outcome for individuals (level-1) nested within strata (level-2) defined by all observed combinations of

Neuronal activity patterns in microcircuits of the cerebellar cortical C3 zone during reaching

Abstract: The cerebellum is the largest sensorimotor structure in the brain. A fundamental organizational feature of its cortex is its division into a series of rostrocaudally elongated zones. These are defined by their inputs from specific parts of the inferior olive and Purkinje cell output to specific cerebellar and vestibular nuclei. However, little is known about how patterns of neuronal acti

On militant democracy’s institutional conservatism

This article critically reconstructs militant democracy’s ‘institutional conservatism’, a theoretical preference for institutions that restrain transformation. It offers two arguments, one historical and one normative. Firstly, it traces a historical development from a substantive to a procedural version of institutional conservatism from the traditional militant democratic thought of Schmitt, Loe

Alteration in Cerebral Metabolism in a Rodent Model of Acute Sub-lethal Cyanide Poisoning

Introduction: Cyanide exposure can occur in various settings such as industry and metallurgy. The primary mechanism of injury is cellular hypoxia from Complex IV (CIV) inhibition. This leads to decreased ATP production and increased reactive oxygen species production. The brain and the heart are the organs most affected due to their high metabolic demand. While the cardiac effects of cyanide are w

Newly identified form of phenotypic plasticity of cancer : immunogenic mimicry

Cancer plasticity is now a recognized new hallmark of cancer which is due to disturbances of cell differentiation programs. It is manifested not only in various forms like the best-known epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) but also in vasculogenic and megakaryocytic mimicries regulated by EMT-specific or less-specific transcription factors such as HIF1a or STAT1/2. Studies in the past decades

In the pre-modern period of Western Europe, while the manor system gradually disintegrating, the private ownership of land was established. On this basis, the land right market saw increasing prosperity. The categorization of different types of land right transactions in Western Europe rooted in Roman law, and can be corresponded to the traditional land right transactions in China. This categoriza

Diagnosis and Management of Posterior Cortical Atrophy

Purpose of review: The study aims to provide a summary of recent developments for diagnosing and managing posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). We present current efforts to improve PCA characterisation and recommendations regarding use of clinical, neuropsychological and biomarker methods in PCA diagnosis and management and highlight current knowledge gaps. Recent findings: Recent multi-centre consen

App-based mathematical intervention for youth with intellectual disabilities : a randomised controlled trial

The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether students with intellectual disabilities (ID) can improve their arithmetic skills by participating in an arithmetic intervention programme, theoretically founded on explicit instruction (EI) and administered via an application developed for tablet computers. The intervention study used a randomised controlled trial design (RCT) (n = 30, aged 10-16, 1

Revised Swedish guidelines on intravenous iodine contrast medium-induced acute kidney injury 2022 : A summary

The Swedish Society of Uroradiology has revised their computed tomography (CT) guidelines regarding iodine contrast media-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). They are more cautious compared to the European Society of Urogenital Radiology and the American College of Radiology since the actual risk of CI-AKI remains uncertain in patients with moderate to severe kidney damage due to a lack of prosp
