Introduction: Strategies for tuberculosis (TB) elimination in low-incidence countries involve screening recent migrants from TB-endemic regions for TB infection (TBI) and providing TB preventive treatment (TPT) to individuals with an increased risk of reactivation. This study aimed to determine TB incidence and identify reactivation risk markers in a cohort of asylum seekers in Sweden after screen

Background: Kidney transplant recipients after kidney transplantation may develop transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS). Multiple studies have sought to identify risk factors, yet the findings remain inconsistent. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection were comprehensively searched to retrieve studies. The 1st screening phase required studies to be in English and evaluate pa

This article examines the Mexican government’s recently curtailed CONACYT international scholarships and its sponsored masters’ students who studied in Sweden between 2013 and 2020. It contrasts CONACYT’s human capital theory-based justifications with the experiences of ten sponsored alumni and indicators covering eighty-five such alumni from major Swedish universities. Employing a framework from

The paper examines preconceptions and assumptions behind common understandings of ‘scholarship awards’ in international higher education research, and analyses how these influence the production of knowledge on scholarship programs and their effects. The paper aims to make a major theoretical contribution by proposing an alternative approach to studying these programs. First, drawing on a comprehe

Focusing on organizations in Mexico and Indonesia and the students they sponsored in Swedish master’s degree programs between 2013-20, the study explores valuation processes, coordination puzzles and et

AimTo understand service users' experiences of their current mental health services and explore reflections on the Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) model and its role in future practice.MethodsA total of 17 experts participated in individual and dyadic in-depth interviews. A reflexive thematic analysis was performed on the participants' experiences of current mental health services anBackground: A person-centred and recovery-oriented approach is an integral part of modern mental health services founded on the experiential knowledge of service users. Their reflections as experts, grounded in their unique experience as service users, play a significant role in developing and improving the existing care. Experiential knowledge is therefore a means to enhance the relevance of rese

Objectives: Within the first phase of developing classification criteria for Early-stage Symptomatic Knee Osteoarthritis, among individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) we explored: 1) symptoms within the first year of noticing their knee(s); 2) features that indicated OA was the cause; and 3) timing and reasons that initially prompted seeking healthcare. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional on

The extent to which different magnitudes and directions of temperature fluctuations explain long-term trends in aquatic invertebrate body size is largely unknown. Using elevational gradients and paleolimnological reconstructions, we tested the hypotheses that the size of subfossil chironomid (non-biting midges) head capsules (HCs) will covary with temperature changes, with opposite morphometric ch

Introduction: Cell-free DNA is an emerging marker of allograft injury, yet its role in the immediate phase of ischemia–reperfusion injury remains incompletely understood.Methods: In this prospective cohort of 127 kidney transplant recipients (86 deceased donors, 41 living donors), intraoperative plasma samples were collected systemically pre-implantation and from the allograft vein postreperfusion

Cardiovascular disease is the global number one causeof mortality and morbidity. The majority of cardio vascular diseases are caused by atherosclerosis, a lipid-driven, inflammatory disease of the middle- and large-sized arteries. The disease is characterized by the formation of atherosclerotic plaques throughout the arterial tree. Over the years, insights intohe pathogenesis of atherosclerosis ha

Objective: There is a well-established association of oral manifestations in the non-infectious chronic diarrhoeal conditions namely, Morbus Crohn, ulcerative colitis, and coeliac disease. Such a connection may exist also for the remaining non-infectious chronic diarrhoeal conditions, that is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and microscopic colitis (MC). Materials and methods: A systematic search wa

I denna uppsats har en rättsdogmatisk metod använts för att undersöka under vilka förutsättningar en enskild, under åberopande av nöd, kan avvärja fara mot ett allmänt intresse. Nödrätten har utvecklats från att enbart ha skyddat individen själv och dennes egendom, till att idag också ge skydd åt allmänna intressen. Enligt förarbetena ska en nödrätt för att avvärja fara mot allmänna intressen endaIn this paper a dogmatic approach has been used in examining the conditions for an individual to protect a public interest under the state of necessity in the Swedish Criminal Code. The state of necessity has evolved from solely protecting the individual and their property to also providing protection for public interests. According to the legislative history, a state of necessity to avert danger

I denna uppsats undersöks uppfinningshöjdskriteriet inom svensk patenträtt. De centrala frågorna som behandlas i uppsatsen är vad detta kriterium innebär och hur det har tillämpats av svenska domstolar, hur EPO:s och UPC:s uppfinningshöjdsbedömningar skiljer sig åt, samt vilken betydelse UPC:s metod för att fastställa uppfinningshöjd kan få för svensk rättstillämpning framöver. Dessa frågor besvarThis thesis examines the inventive step criterion in Swedish patent law. The main issues addressed are what this criterion entails and how it has been applied by Swedish courts, how the inventive step assessments of the EPO and UPC differ, and what significance the UPC’s method for determining inventive step may have for Swedish legal practice in the future. These questions are explored through an

The growing use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool has intensi-fied legal and political tensions in the international trade system. This trend has been particularly pronounced following the expansion of the United States’ (U.S.) secondary sanctions with extraterritorial reach, and in response to major geopolitical events, including the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan

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.
