The way in which we produce and consume energy has profound implications for our societies. How we configure our energy systems determines not only our chances of successfully dealing with climate change but also, how benefits and burdens of these systems are distributed. In this paper, we set out to map the literature on conflicts related to the energy system in Sweden using a framework of energy
Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) after acute hip fracture surgery is a devastating complication associated with increased suffering and mortality. The aim of the study was to investigate early SSI, sepsis, pneumonia and urinary tract infections over five years, before and after the implementation of the Safe Hands project. Methods: This was a single-centre observational study with a 5-yea
A standard proposition in the migration literature is that emigrants are not drawn randomly from their source population, but rather compose a self-selected group in terms of labour market characteristics. Such self-selection refers to observed characteristics, such as education, or occupation, as well as unobserved characteristics such as cognitive abilities. However, due to data limitations, mos
Exposure to circulating cell-free hemoglobin is a ubiquitous feature of open-heart surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass circulation. This study aims to determine the origins and dynamics of circulating cell-free hemoglobin and its major scavenger proteins haptoglobin and hemopexin during neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass. Forty neonates with an isolated critical congenital heart defect were included in
AIMS: Reduced lung function and adverse health outcomes are often observed. This study characterizes genetic susceptibility for reduced lung function and risk of developing a range of adverse health outcomes.METHODS: We studied 27,438 middle-aged adults from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study (MDCS), followed up to 28.8 years. Trait-specific Polygenic scores (PGS) for forced expiratory volume in 1 s
I min avhandling undersöker jag varierande placering av objekt till verb i svenskans historia. Primärt undersöks placering av nominala objekt visavi negerande adverbial, och sekundärt undersöks placering av nominala objekt visavi andra argument (subjekt och objekt) i huvudsatser. Materialet som ligger till grund för avhandlingen är texter från äldre och yngre fornsvenska (1225-1526), och huvudsaklThis thesis focuses on the distribution of objects in the history of Swedish. The primary focus of the thesis is the distribution of objects relative to negation, and the secondary focus is varying order of nominal arguments in Old Swedish (1225–1526).In Modern Swedish, objects may precede the negation, often referred to as Object Shift, OS, or precede a subject, often referred to as Long Object S
In this chapter I analyse the recent criminalization of negligent rape in Sweden, introduced in 2018. My aim is to contribute to the discussion of criminalization as it relates to violence against women, while taking a broad view of criminalization that includes not only criminalization per se but also the application of law. My analysis of the application of the crime of negligent rape, from the
A recent study from Lund University shows that more than 25 % of the female students have experienced sexual harassment or violence during their studies. Most of them stated they didn’t tell anyone about this, least of all anyone at university.. At the same time there seems to be a growing demand from students that university responds and takes action against sexual violence on campus. This could
The term frailty denotes a multi-dimensional syndrome characterised by reduced physiological reserves and increased vulnerability. Frailty may be used as a marker of biological age, distinct from chronological age. There are several instruments for frailty assessment. The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is probably the most commonly used in the acute care context. It is a 9-level scale, derived from
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is an inherited bone marrow failure disorder in which pure red blood cell aplasia is associated with physical malformations and a predisposition to cancer. Twentyfive percent of patients with DBA have mutations in a gene encoding ribosomal protein S19 (RPS19). Our previous proof-of-concept studies demonstrated that DBA phenotype could be successfully treated using len
Syncopal events in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are of concern as they are a vital consideration in algorithms for risk stratification for sudden cardiac death (SCD) and ICD implantation. However, the cause of syncope is often under-investigated and/or unexplained. Current syncope guidelines do not provide a detailed definition of unexplained syncope. To address this important g
Gunnarpshemmet was a closed detention camp for female refugees. Fifty-seven women were forcibly detained here be-tween 1945 and 1946. This article examine the camp, focusing on the internment of former concentration camp prisoners who had been transferred to Sweden with the “white buses” Red Cross rescue operation, undertaken in the spring of 1945. Gunnarpshemmet serves as a case study to shed li
Artikeln undersöker, med blicken fäst på mat och äckel, mötet mellan de överlevande som kom till Sverige från nazistiska koncentrationsläger 1945 och de lägerinstitutioner som tog emot dem. Syftet är att genom utsagor om mat undersöka lägerlivets vardagliga förhandlingar och maktrelationer. De sätt varpå ätande knutits till äckel åskådliggör den villkorade relationen mellan ”värd” och ”gäst” och fWith a focus on food and disgust, this article examines the meeting between survivors who came to Sweden from Nazi concentration camps in 1945 so called “repatriates”, and the camp institutions that received them. The purpose is to examine the everyday negotiations and power relations of camp life through statements about food. The ways in which eating is linked to disgust illustrate the unequal a
Sexuality in the Swedish Police is based on the experiences of lesbian, gay and bisexual police officers and the author's observations of police work. Written at the intersection of organizational, gender and police studies, the book analyses how processes of exclusion and inclusion of LGB sexuality coexist in the Swedish police, how these processes are related to the culture and characteristics o
Hypothesis: Owing to structural similarities between sulfobetaine lipids and phospholipids it should be possible to form stable Langmuir monolayers from long tail sulfobetaines. By modification of the density of lipid tail group (number of carbon chains) it should also be possible to modulate the two-dimensional phase behaviour of these lipids and thereby compare with that of equivalent phospholip
Over the past 50 years there has been considerable progress in our understanding of biomolecular interactions at an atomic level. This in turn has allowed molecular simulation methods employing full atomistic modelling at ever larger scales to develop. However, some challenging areas still remain where there is either a lack of atomic resolution structures or where the simulation system is inheren
The characterization of structure over a wide range of length scales from atomic to microns is a common requirement for understanding the behaviour of many soft matter systems. In the case of self-assembling and colloidal materials, the final properties will depend sensitively on intermolecular as well as interparticle interactions. Experimental methods such as wide and small angle scattering, whi
This work aimed to understand the relationship between the physical properties of scattering particle layers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and their performance, to assist optimization of this component of the DSSC. Highly ordered anatase 2D-hexagonal mesoporous titania (meso-TiO2) nanoparticles with a high surface area and large pore size were fabricated. Meso-TiO2 was used as scattering
We currently use Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) of the platinum-based drug, carboplatin as a novel treatment strategy for high grade glioblastoma in adults and children. Although initial results show promise, carboplatin is not specifically toxic to tumour cells and has been associated with neurotoxicity at high infused concentrations in pre-clinical studies. Our treatment strategy requires in
