I den svenska straffrätten döms allvarligt psykiskt störda brottslingar i regel till rättspsykiatrisk vård istället för fängelse. Om brottet anses ha begåtts ”under påverkan av” den allvarliga psykiska störningen så kan domen förenas med beslut om särskild utskrivningsprövning, vilket innebär att förvaltningsrätten beslutar om utskrivning när den bedömer att individen inte längre har ett vårdbehovIn Swedish criminal law, ”severely mentally disturbed” (allvarligt psykiskt störda) criminals are usually sentenced to psychiatric care instead of prison. If the crime is deemed to have been committed “under the influence” of this mental disturbance, the sentence can be combined with a prescription for “special release inquiry” (särskild utskrivningsprövning). This means that an administrative cou

similar to SbVO4 is a well known catalyst used for the ammoxidation of propane to acrylonitrile. However, little importance is usually given to the structural flexibility exhibited by the similar to SbVO4 phase, which has rutile-type structure and can accommodate up to 1/8 of cation vacancies. In this work we highlight the great structural flexibility exhibited by this phase accommodating the chan

The aim of this paper was to examine and illustrate what experiences investigating social workers may have from interviewing children in social investigations concerning child welfare. Through semi-structured interviews with six professionally active investigating social workers in different municipalities in southern Sweden we focused on their own experiences, thoughts, feelings and commentary on

Conditional cash transfer programs have been proven effective when aiming to decrease poverty and increase school enrollment among poor. The Brazilian conditional cash transfer program Bolsa Família is the largest program in the developing world and affect 13 million families in their everyday life. One of the long-term aims of Bolsa Família is to increase school enrollment in Brazil, which also i

Den svenska tryckfrihetslagstiftningen har en stark historisk förankring i svensk rätt, med rötter i den första tryckfrihetsförordningen från 1766. En period som starkt skiljer sig från utvecklingen av tryckfriheten överlag är åren kring andra världskriget. Samma år som kriget inleddes, 1939, började en mer restriktiv tryckfrihetspolitik utvecklas och de följande åren genomfördes ett flertal kontrThe freedom of the press has a strong historical tradition in Swedish law, with its roots in the act of 1766. A period that strongly differs from the development in general is the period during World War II. The same year as the war began, in 1939, a more restrictive policy regarding freedom of the press developed. During the following years, numerous controversial and constitutionally dubious leg

To form a building adapted to the environment and at the same time preserve land, water and other resources in a long term it has to fulfill some requirements. Requirements are set by international and national governing authorities. In order for a regular consumer, property owner or entrepreneur to be guided towards sustainable construction, there are also several environmental certification syst

The monarchical regimes of the Gulf States have for a long time remained outstandingly consistent. The aim of this thesis is to explain this political consistency by comparing Saudi Arabia with Iran, covering the time period from Muhammed Reza Shah's accession to the throne in 1941 up until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. We agree that regime consistency theoretically depends on the legitimacy

Its been long known that militia groups all over the word use refugee camps as recruitment sites, but not much research has been conducted on the subject. Not until recently when Achvarina and Reich presented their new theory linking the level of security in the camps with the prevalence of recruitment. The theory implies that actors such as UNHCR could act on the problem and therefore act as a co

The aim of this thesis has been to analyze and interpret several different discourses in Japan and from the findings see how the Ainu people and their existence in Japan have been defined in today's Japan and in who's interest it is to keep it this way. My findings was that the Japanese nation in all channels of society are reinforcing and perpetuating the belief that it constitutes an eth

Objectives: To evaluate whether anthropometric parameters add to PSA measurements in middle-aged men for risk assessment of prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis and death. Results: After adjusting for PSA, both BMI and weight were significantly associated with an increased risk of PCa death with the odds of a death corresponding to a 10 kg/m2 or 10 kg increase being 1.58 (95% CI 1.10, 2.28; p = 0.013)

Impaired cerebral energy metabolism may be a major contributor to the secondary injury cascade that occurs following traumatic brain injury (TBI). To estimate the cortical energy metabolic state following mild and severe controlled cortical contusion (CCC) TBI in rats, ipsi-and contralateral cortical tissues were frozen in situ at 15 and 40 min post-injury and adenylate (ATP, ADP, AMP) levels were

Within analytic philosophy, induction has been seen as a problem concerning inferences that have been analysed as relations between sentences. In this article, we argue that induction does not primarily concern relations between sentences, but between properties and categories. We outline a new approach to induction that is based on two theses. The first thesis is epistemological. We submit that t

Deleterious mutations are an unavoidable part of life. In sufficiently large populations, all such mutations are removed by natural selection, though always with a concomitant loss of population fitness equal to the mutation rate. A natural question to ask is then: What happens if at another locus a rare allele appears (selectively neutral in itself) that decreases, but does not abolish, the negat

This paper studies the influence of metropolitan externalities on productivity for different types of long-run R&D engagement based on information from the Community Innovation Survey. We apply a dynamic general method of moments model to a panel of manufacturing and service firms with different locations in Sweden, classified as a metropolitan region, the largest metropolitan region, a metrop

Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major blindness-causing disease, characterized by elevated intraocular pressure due to an insufficient outflow of aqueous humor. The trabecular meshwork (TM) lining the aqueous outflow pathway modulates the aqueous outflow facility. TM cell adhesion, cell-matrix interactions, and factors that influence Rho signaling in TM cells are thought to play a pivotal

Asexuals come in all sorts. In this personal overview, I identify asexual organisms with eukaryotes that do not regularly go through the meiotic cycle. Such organisms may be asexual in many different ways and of many different reasons. The spread of asexuality is therefore always a unique process, and any notion of a general evolutionary advantage for asexuality is at best misleading. In discussio

Foreign entry mode choices are decisions of paramount importance for the long-term survival and growth of companies that are in a process of rapid international expansion. In this article we seek to understand the foreign market channel strategies of Born Globals. We examine whether these companies develop a similar strategy regarding foreign entry mode choices and if their market channel strategi

With increasing resistance development against conventional antibiotics, there is an urgent need to identify novel approaches for infection treatment. Antimicrobial peptides may offer opportunities in this context, hence there has been considerable interest in identification and optimization of such peptides during the last decade in particular, with the long-term aim of developing these to potent

Symptomatic portal hypertension (PH), is often treated by transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS). Patients with PH, caused by prehepatic portal vein occlusion, require recanalization with stent or stent-graft often followed by additional TIPS. Stent-grafts used for TIPS, may occlude the outflow from the adjacent hepatic vein, potentially disturbing the circulation through the adjoini
