Oaktsamhetsbrotten i svensk (och finsk) rätt – ett halvsekel senare

När Carl Elwing 1963 i JFT skrev en artikel om oaktsamhetsbrotten i svensk rätt var brottsbalken visserligen beslutad men hade ännu inte trätt i kraft. Mer än ett halvt sekel har passerat och det kan väl därför vara på sin plats med en uppdatering. Även den finska strafflagstiftningen har genomgått en stor revision och utan anspråk på egentlig fördjupning skall ändå en viss utblick även till Finla

Effect of cell seeding concentration on the quality of tissue engineered constructs loaded with adult human articular chondrocytes

Many aspects of the process of in vitro differentiation of chondrocytes in three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds need to be further investigated. Chitosan scaffolds were produced by freeze-drying 3% w/v 90% DDA chitosan gels. The effect of the cell seeding concentration was evaluated by culturing human adult chondrocytes in chitosan scaffolds After the first passage, cells were seeded into chitosan sca

Increased Mortality Persists after Treatment of Cushing's Disease : A Matched Nationwide Cohort Study

Context: Whether biochemical remission normalizes life expectancy in Cushing's disease (CD) patients remains unclear. Previous studies evaluating mortality in CD are limited by using the expected number of deaths in the background population instead of the actual number in matched controls. Objective and setting: To study mortality by time-to-event analysis in an unselected nationwide CD patient c

Interval Changes in PSMA PET/CT During Radium-223 Therapy for Metastatic Bone Disease from Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Background: Radium-223, an alpha-emitting therapeutic radiopharmaceutical, prolongs overall survival (OS) in patients with symptomatic bone-predominant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). PSMA PET/CT is a molecular imaging tool for whole-body imaging of prostate cancer and may inform on the mechanisms of radium-223 activity and treatment resistance in mCRPC patients. Methods:

The Sky as Heterotopia in in Dickens, Gissing, and Woolf

Different aspects of the novel have changed at a different pace. If one compares modernist novels with those of a 100 years previously, not only is an inward turn noticeable but also an outward turn: the sky, for example, is much more present. This change does not, however, coincide with the Victorian-modernist divide but rather comes when the influence of romantic poetry reaches the novel. This c

Hur gemensamma är de gemensamma EU-reglerna? : Svensk asylrätt i europeiskt perspektiv

Every EU country must adapt its national regulations to the common EU and ECHR standards. There is, however, a certain discretion to apply the EU standards into national legislation. For those in need of protection, is Sweden more or less generous in comparison to the EU’s minimum rules?This study examines Swedish asylum legislation from a European perspective. Although EU Member States are bound

Binding Kinetics of Proteins at Immune-Cell Contacts

Protein-protein interactions are crucial in numerous cellular functions and biological processes that take place inside our body. It is therefore not surprising that these interactions also govern the response of our body´s defence mechanism, the so-called immune system, towards an infection. Understanding how proteins interact entails studying the binding affinity (strength) and the lifetime (dur

A Semi-quantitative Scoring System for Green Histopathological Evaluation of Large Animal Models of Acute Lung Injury

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening, high mortality pulmonary condition characterized by acute lung injury (ALI) resulting in diffuse alveolar damage. Despite progress regarding the understanding of ARDS pathophysiology, there are presently no effective pharmacotherapies. Due to the complexity and multiorgan involvement typically associated with ARDS, animal models rem

Month of birth and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes among children in the Swedish national Better Diabetes Diagnosis Study

Aim: Previous studies have reported an association between month of birth and incidence of type 1 diabetes. Using population-based data, including almost all newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes in Sweden, we tested whether month of birth influences the risk of type 1 diabetes. Methods: For 8761 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes between May 2005 and December 2016 in the Better Diabe

Tourism Resourcification

A conventional claim within tourism research, practice and policy is that tourism is a powerful engine for economic growth across all spatial scales, accounting for slightly more than 10 percent of the global number of jobs and gross domestic product (GDP). What does this tell us? First, that the tourism economy is heavily dependent on mobilising spatial, intangible, material and human resources.

“The Waterloo of Democracy against Despotism” : Chartist Internationalism and Poetic Repetition in the Labourer, 1847–48

This essay argues that Ernest Jones and Feargus O’Connor’s Chartist periodical the Labourer utilizes strategies of poetic repetition in order to reinvent the battle of Waterloo as a symbol of worldwide armed resistance to class oppression. The Labourer’s prose and verse contributions make repeated references to the violence of Waterloo, merging this poetic technique of repetition with the miscella

Speaking the Social Body : Language-Origins and Thomas Carlyle’s The French Revolution

This article considers the political implications of Victorian language-study for Thomas Carlyle's The French Revolution (1837) (reprinted and edited by K.J. Fielding and David Sorensen (Oxford: Oxford World's Classics, 1989)). I investigate how Carlyle responded to the scientific study of language with what he termed a ‘bodied word’, a reading of language based in the word-become-flesh or the doc

(In)justice in modelled climate futures : A review of integrated assessment modelling critiques through a justice lens

Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have become the dominant approach for envisioning different mitigation scenarios. While they are not intended to deal with justice, IAM assumptions and structure have justice implications that have not been explicitly discussed or clearly elucidated in critical accounts of modelling practices. Given their key influence in policy decisions and the increasing impe

Food transfers and translocal livelihoods in rural Africa – Longitudinal perspectives from six countries

Growing urban as well as rural uncertainties in sub-Saharan Africa have increased the importance of the household and kinship relations as providers of welfare and social security. Households therefore may be increasingly stretched across space. This points to the need to analyse the interplay between socio-economic differentiation and translocality. The article uses a mixed methods approach, comb

Insights from Central Syrian Desert on the migration routes of Homo erectus from Africa to Eurasia during the Paleolithic

Our knowledge regarding the migration of the Homo erectus towards Eurasia and the routes he took through the Middle East during the Paleolithic is limited. The latest surveys and excavations at sites in the central Syrian Desert have revealed important data on these routes. Archaeological labor documented numerous archaeological sites located between the Mount Bishri and the Middle Euphrates Valle
