OBJECTIVE: This study utilized the evidence-gap map method and critically examined the scope, methodologies, and focus of the studies that investigated the influence of the built environment on inpatient healthcare settings over a decade (2010-2021).METHODS: We conducted a systematic review per the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines and surveyed 406 artic

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in various genes have been shown to associate with COPD, suggesting a role in disease pathogenesis. Sulfatase modifying factor (SUMF1) is a key modifier in connective tissue remodelling, and we have shown previously that several SNPs in SUMF1 are associated with COPD. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SUMF1 SNPs and advanced l

Diabetes is a bihormonal disorder resulting from combined insulin and glucagon secretion defects. Mice lacking fumarase (Fh1) in their β cells (Fh1βKO mice) develop progressive hyperglycemia and dysregulated glucagon secretion similar to that seen in diabetic patients (too much at high glucose and too little at low glucose). The glucagon secretion defects are corrected by low concentrations of tol

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death world-wide. Recently, we showed that COPD is associated with gene polymorphisms in SUMF1, a master regulator of sulfatases. Sulfatases are involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and activated by SUMF1, but their role in the lung is poorly described. We aimed to examine how sulfatases are affected in the airways of patien

Animals across phyla can detect early cues of infection in conspecifics, thereby reducing risk of contamination. It is unknown, however, if humans can detect cues of sickness in people belonging to communities with whom they have limited or no experience. To test this, we presented Western faces photographed two hours after the experimental induction of an acute immune response to one Western and

Glacial-interglacial variations in CO 2 and methane in polar ice cores have been attributed, in part, to changes in global wetland extent, but the wetland distribution before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM, 21 ka to 18 ka) remains virtually unknown. We present a study of global peatland extent and carbon (C) stocks through the last glacial cycle (130 ka to present) using a newly compiled database

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (Intervention). The objectives are as follows: To determine the benefits and harms associated with weight loss in overweight individuals with knee or hip osteoarthritis in terms of pain, physical function, quality of life, and safety. Further we will have an explicit focus on quality of the weight loss intervention (including magnitude and intensity) (Herbe

The 2006 rent reform in Sweden enabled rent in newly-built rental apartments to be based on construction costs rather than objective characteristics that are considered relevant to the tenant, as with the ordinary rental system. This new type, presumption rent, is presumed to be fair during a period of ten years (subsequently prolonged to 15 years) and cannot, during this time, be challenged by th

Sveriges medlemskap i EU medför att förordningar och direktiv måste implementeras. Sverige har vid flertalet tillfällen mottagit kritik både från EUkommissionen och via en anmälan från TCO, för bristande tillämpning i nationell lagstiftning vad gäller visstidsdirektivet. Kommissonen anser att Sverige inte uppfyller direktivets krav något TCO instämmer i. Svenskt Näringsliv och svenska staten bifal

Uppsatsens syfte är att ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv undersöka frivillighetsrekvisitet i 6 kap. 1 § brottsbalken. Först genom att undersöka hur lagstiftaren be-skrivit rekvisitet i förarbetena och lagtexten för att sedan analysera hovrättsdomar som tillämpat det. Detta för att avgöra om kritiken gällande oförutsebarheten i lagstiftningen varit befogad. Diskussionen om frivillighet kom på allvaThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the requirement of consent in chapter 6 section 1 of the Swedish Criminal Code (brottsbalken, SFS 1962:700) from a legal security perspective. First by examining how the legislator described the requirement in the legislative history and in the text of the law and thereafter by analyzing court cases where the requirement has been applied. This is to decide

Att köpa sexuella tjänster har varit brottsligt i Sverige sedan 1999. Även om kriminaliseringen i förarbetena delvis motiverades med att prostitution är skadligt för individerna som befinner sig i situationen så är det inte, åtminstone inte tydligt, ett brott mot person. Samtidigt finns det personer med erfarenhet av att sälja sex som vittnar om utsatthet och övergrepp inom prostitutionen, något sBuying sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. Although the criminalization in the preparatory work was partly motivated by the fact that prostitution is harmful to the individuals who are in the situation, it is not, at least not clear, a crime against an individual. At the same time, there are people with experience of selling sex that tells about their experiences, showing that a

Detta examensarbete är utfört i samarbete med Tankens Trädgård, en förening som startade 2004. De strävar efter att skapa ett affärsnätverk för kvinnligt företagande. Via Campus Helsingborg sökte de studenter som kunde ingå i projekteringsgruppen Design och kommunikation. Tillsammans skulle vi formge ett mobilt rum, influerat av renässansen i Florens. Grundtanken är att skapa en mötesplats där man

Gröna tak kan minska problem med s.k. urban heat islands och kan användas för dagvattenhantering. Andra miljöfördelar som en förbättring av luftkvalitet, biodiversitet och bullerminskning finns också. Detta projekt fokuserar på lokala (kommunala) medel för att skapa en bättre miljö med extensiva gröna tak, vilka är nästan underhållsfria. Ett delområde i Lund som inkluderar Universitetet och UniverGreen roofs have the potential to mitigate problems with an urban heat island and to act as an element in stormwater management. Other environmental benefits exist as well, such as improvement of air quality, biological diversity and noise reduction. This project focuses on local community efforts to create a better environment through the use of extensive green roofs, which require almost no main

The purpose of this essay has been to investigate how the latest years of effectiveness in social politics has changed the social services and their work with starting point in the changed rules for social insurance in form of sickness leave. The new rules which emerged in July 2008 have meant that sickness benefits is limited to one year. This occurred in the time when labour market policy become

Kvantitativ analys är en teknik som syftar till att förstå komplexa system genom att använda matematisk och statistisk modellering. Det är en viktig del av dagens finansiella system och innebär bland annat att modellera den slumpmässiga utvecklingen av finansiella tillgångar, och för att förutspå verkliga händelser som till exempel förändring av riksbankens styrränta. En mycket vanlig metod som anDiffusion processes are the most commonly used models in mathematical finance, and are used extensively not only by academics but also practitioners. Nowadays a wide range of models, that can capture many of the effects observed in financial markets, are available. A very important task is to calibrate the models to observed market data and to achieve a good fit, since a slight misspecification ca
