Background: Limited information exists on the framework and content of postgraduate education in internal medicine in Europe. This report describes the results of a survey of postgraduate training in internal medicine in the European countries. Methods: Two online questionnaire-based surveys were carried out by the European Board of Internal Medicine, one on the practice of internists and the othe
While emissions of many biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), such as terpenoids, have been studied quite intensively in North American and Scandinavian boreal forests, the vast Siberian boreal forests have remained largely unexplored by experimental emission studies. In this study the shoot-scale terpenoid emission rates from two mature Larix cajanderi trees growing in their natural habita
Background Point-of-care C-reactive protein (POCCRP) is a biomarker of inflammation that offers clinicians a rapid POC test to guide antibiotic prescribing decisions for acute cough and lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI). However, evidence that POCCRP is cost-effective is limited, particularly outside experimental settings. Aim To assess the cost-effectiveness of POCCRP as a diagnostic tool
This thesis explores the external debt situation of developing countries and donor responses in terms of aid composition and debt relief. Primarily, these issues are important for future debt sustainability and therefore for creating beneficial conditions for accelerating growth and reducing poverty. With a focus on domestic factors (e.g. regime type) and exogenous shocks (e.g. terms of trade vol
Savanner är ett landskap med både träd och gräs som skapar en miljö som varken är skog eller gräsmark. Savanner tar upp cirka en sjättedel av världens totala landyta och de har på grund av detta en stor betydelse för den globala kolbalansen. De flesta savanner har två distinkta säsonger, en regnperiod då vegetationen grönskar samt en period med torka utan nederbörd. Detta gör att förändringar i deSavannahs are land areas where grass and trees co-exists to create a landscape that is neither a grassland nor a forest. It is estimated that savannahs cover approximately one sixth of the global land surface. They also play an important role in the global carbon cycle due to their total size. Most savannahs are characterized with two distinct seasons, one dry season and one wet season where a maj
BACKGROUND: In 2013, it was discovered that a subset of the population in Ronneby, Sweden was exposed to high levels of perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) from drinking water that had been provided by the local Brantafors waterworks and was contaminated by fire-fighting foam from a nearby airport. The start and time-course of population exposures are not known.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the start of P
Background: Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence (BCCOE) was founded to serve Rwanda’s rural low-income population, providing subsidized cancer diagnosis and treatment with transport stipends for the lowest-income patients. We examined whether travel distance to BCCOE was associated with advanced-stage diagnoses and treatment completion. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using medic
EU countries have committed to taking national measures to reduce the average energy use of residential buildings by 16% by 2030 and 20–22% by 2035. Each country has decided how to achieve this and which buildings to focus on. However, certain categories of residential buildings, including historical buildings but also second homes, may be exempt from these obligations. In Sweden, second homes con
The widespread contamination of urban soils by airborne microplastics (MPs) is an emerging environmental issue, particularly in urban allotment gardens with home-grown food. This study investigates the vertical distribution of MP in three such gardens in Berlin, Germany, over 90 days. Soil samples were collected at three depths (0-1 cm, 1–15 cm, and 15–30 cm) and analyzed for MP composition and oc

Leaving a sustainable society for our children is considered an arbitrary goal for the environmental work that is currently taking place in Sweden. Today, 140 million tonnes of non-hazardous waste is generated in Sweden, which is unsustainable. 31% of the non-hazardous waste is traced to the construction industry, the mining industry excluded. Today, the waste is an unused resource that is purchas
Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda gällande rätt kring det offentliga biträdets roll i LVU-processen. Framställningen görs ur ett barnrättsperspektiv med ändamålet att utreda huruvida processen i LVU-mål är likställd mellan å ena sidan socialnämnden, å andra sidan den unge och dennes vårdnadshavare. För detta syfte förekommer även inslag av ett komparativt perspektiv samt ett utvecklingsperspektThis thesis seeks to investigate applicable law concerning the public counsel in the process according to The Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU). The thesis is written from a children’s rights perspective with the purpose of investigating whether the process is equal between the social welfare committee on the one hand, and the child on the other. When the social service needs
När föräldrar inte själva kan komma överens i frågor om vårdnaden om, boendet för eller umgänget med sitt barn, kan frågorna tas upp hos socialtjänsten eller i domstol. När beslut om barn ska fattas, ska barnets bästa vara den slutligt bestämmande faktorn, en aspekt i bedömningen om barnets bästa är barnets behov av en nära och god kontakt med båda föräldrarna. En (radikal)feministisk utgångspunkWhen parents are unable to agree on questions about custody of, housing for or visitation of their child, the questions can be sorted out with help from the social services or in court. In all decision-making regarding children, the best interests of the child should be the final determining factor, i.e. the child's need for a close and good contact with both its parents. A radical feminist n
Första gången en tredje part framgångsrikt lyckats bestrida ett åtagandebeslut var i EU-domstolens mål C-132/19 P Canal+ i december 2020. Målet handlar om gränsöverskridande licenser för TV-sändningar som riskerade att strida mot konkurrensförbudet i artikel 101 FEUF. Frågan i målet rörde huruvida de åtaganden som blivit bindande för Paramount att utföra enligt artikel 9 konkurrensförordningen, föThe Court of Justice of the European Union’s (CJEU) case C-132/19 P Canal+ from December 2020 clarifies the issue of third party rights within commitment procedures. The judgment amounts to the first ever annulment of a commitment decision of the European Commission, regarding binding commitments aimed at addressing an investigation into cross-border pay-TV services. According to the Commission, P
We have investigated the structure of a microbial community in semi-natural sandy grassland in southeast Sweden. The sand is rich in lime, but in most places the soil is decalcified in the upper layers, and therefore this site shows a large variation in pH within short distances. We collected samples at three different soil depths (0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-30 cm) and found the pH to range from 5 t
The 20q13 region is frequently amplified/overexpressed in breast tumours. However, the nature of this amplification/overexpression is unknown. Here, we investigated genetic variation in five 20q13 amplicon genes (MYBL2, AURKA, ZNF217, STK4 and PTPN1) and its impact on breast cancer (BC) susceptibility and clinical outcome. As a novel finding, four polymorphisms in STK4 (rs6017452, rs7271519) and A
