I Sverige har brottsligheten i kriminella miljöer ökat drastiskt under de senaste åren. En markant ökning av antalet skjutningar och sprängningar har noterats och brottsbekämpande myndigheter har haft ett behov av effektivare verktyg för att förhindra denna brottslighet. Ett sådant verktyg är preventiva tvångsmedel. Användningen av dessa regleras bland annat i preventivlagen (2007:979). Användnin

Sammanfattning Trots avskaffandet av tvångssteriliseringarna år 1975, fortsatte steriliseringskravet vid ändring av könstillhörighet att vara en del av svensk rätt ända fram till 2013. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka de bakomliggande motiven för såväl införandet som avskaffandet av detta krav, med betoning på hur kravet reflekterade samtidens rättsliga och sociala värderingar. Med hjälp av en

A case study house for a regenerative architecture. What would a regenerative architecture look like, in the context of a wetland landscape? With climate catastrophes becoming the new reality for an increasing amount of communities, floods among them, how would we live in a landscape, and with what materials would we build, in order to mitigate these issues? How do we live with a landscape, inste

Background. Fast and accurate work-up is crucial to ensure the best possible treatment and prognosis for patients with head and neck cancer. The presence or absence of neck lymph node metastases is important for the prognosis and the choice of treatment. Clinical lymph node (N)-staging is done by palpation and diagnostic imaging of the neck. We investigated the current practice of the initial radi

Projekt Turnstone är ett samverkansprojekt delvis finansierat av Europeiska kommissionen. Projektet är ett initiativ av Stockholmspolisens gränsbevakningsenhet. Syftet med Projekt Turnstone är att minska gränsöverskridande brottslighet, förbättra dagligt samarbete mellan gräns, polis och kustbevakare i Östersjöregionen och förbättra säkerheten för passagerare i Östersjöregionen utan att göra avkalProject Turnstone is a collaborative project funded in part by the European Commission.

To examine the validity of the Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ) which assesses physical activity (PA) in 4 domains (leisure, work, commuting, home) during past month.

To survive on a global market, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) require affordable and competitive industrial automation for high quality flexible manufacturing. This thesis contributes to the development of robot concepts that fit the needs of SMEs. A major part of the thesis deals with the modeling of the three degree-of-freedom (DOF) Gantry-Tau parallel kinematic robot, which has the po

The aim of this thesis was to study incidence and case-fatality rate (CFR) of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic heart disease (IHD), by exploring relations to socioeconomic position (SEP), other cardiovascular risk factors, medical seeking pattern and time trends. Data from the Malmö Myocardial Infarction Register (1986-1995; n=5533), the Malmö 1990 cohort (1990-2003; n=69 223), the Malmö P

Rationale: Since the introduction of long-term oxygen treatment (LTOT) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic hypoxia, the proportion of women and the age of patients starting LTOT have increased markedly. We hypothesize that this might have led to shifts in the causes of death over time. Objectives: To test for time trends in cause-specific mortality in COPD with LTOT. Metho

Studies of the role of dietary factors in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) development have been limited, and no specific dietary factors have been consistently associated with EOC risk.

To investigate if diet quality is related to incidence of cardiovascular (CV) events.
