I denna tvärvetenskapliga och internationellt förankrade forskningsmiljö undersöker vi å ena sidan hur rätten hanterar människor i utsatta positioner och å andra sidan hur de kan tillvarata sin rätt. Utgångspunkten är att möjligheten att tillvarata sin rätt kan förhindras eller försvåras om man befinner sig i en utsatt position, som barn, ungdom, gammal, sjuk, fattig eller hemlös. Konkret innebär We study how law treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of law. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. The possibility to make use of one’s right can be obstructed or aggravated in a vulnerable situation, as a child or youth or old, disabled, poor or homeless person. Our research

Suicide research is of importance to find new strategies to prevent suicide. Each year approximately 800 000 people in the world, and 1500 people in Sweden commit suicide. The suicide rate has not decreased over the last 15 years. The Unit for Clinical Suicide Research cover different areas within this field. • Area A: Psychopathology and risk factors. Our group investigates how psychopathology

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Tiden mellan 33,9–5,3 miljoner år sedan är indelad i perioderna Oligocen och Miocen. Denna tid karaktäriseras av ett oscillerande klimat som var knutet till de primära så kallade Milankovitchcyklerna – excentricitet hos Jordens bana kring solen, jordaxelns lutning och dess precession – men magnituden hos oscillationerna var mycket varierande. Dinoflagellater äThe Oligocene and Miocene are characterized by a number of climate oscillations, following the primary Milankovitch cycles but varying in magnitude. Dinoflagellates are sensitive environmental indicators as well as biostratigraphic markers, but their use as the former has mainly been restricted to higher latitudes. This palynological study is made on samples belonging to the Oligocene-Miocene inte

Forskargrupp Claesdotter-Knutsson bedriver modern barnpsykiatrisk forskning och undervisning om barn och ungdomar med psykiatriska tillstånd, inklusive bla områden som gaming, gambling och psykedelisk forskning samt deras associerade symtom vid psykiatrisk ohälsa hos barn och ungdomar. Psykisk ohälsa är vanligt bland barn och unga och kan leda till allvarliga funktionsnedsättningar som påverkar re

The recognition of carbohydrates by proteins is a fundamental aspect of communication within and between living cells. Understanding the molecular basis of carbohydrate-protein interactions is a prerequisite for the rational design of synthetic ligands. Here we report the high- to ultrahigh-resolution crystal structures of the carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3 (Gal3C) in the ligand-fre

Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is a biomedically important enzyme that plays a crucial role in lipid biosynthesis. It is activated by a ligand-gated conformational change that is necessary for the enzyme to reach a catalytically competent conformation capable of efficient transition-state stabilization. While the human form (hlGPDH) has been the subject of extensive structural and biochemical

Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) catalyze the reduction of ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks for DNA synthesis, and are found in all but a few organisms. RNRs use radical chemistry to catalyze the reduction reaction. Despite RNR having evolved several mechanisms for generation of different kinds of essential radicals across a large evolutionary time frame, this initial r
