Varying degrees of collaboration and consultation in the area of child and family welfare in the public sector has grown rapidly since the 1980s, especially concerning children at risk. Collaboration is understood to provide a more holistic view of the individual's needs, lead to better care and treatment as well as increase knowledge in general. Collaboration in that sense constitute a flexible a

In the interpretation of treaties, according to Article 31 of the 1969 Vienna Convention, interpreters shall pay primary regard to conventional language and to "relevant rules of international law applicable in the relations between the parties". Applying this provision, it is obvious that interpreters will sometimes face questions of an inter-temporal nature. What law or what language should be b

Sea turtles are known to perform long-distance, oceanic migrations between disparate feeding areas and breeding sites, some of them located on isolated oceanic islands. These migrations demonstrate impressive navigational abilities, but the sensory mechanisms used are still largely unknown. Green turtles breeding at Ascension Island perform long oceanic migrations (>2200 km) between foraging areas

Crime is one of the most harmful social problems throughout the world suggesting that the topic of crime is one of the most important research areas within the field of economics. This thesis attempts to shed some new light on the relationship between crime and gross domestic product (GDP) in Sweden. More specifically the aim of the paper is to look for the existence of a cointegration relationshi

Despite recent advances in lymphoma treatment, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) remains incurable, and we are still unable to identify patients who will not benefit from the current standard of care. Here, we explore the prognostic value of recurrent genetic aberrations in diagnostic bone marrow (BM) specimens from 183 younger patients with MCL from the Nordic MCL2 and MCL3 trials, which represent curre

Background: To systematically review the association between knee abduction kinematics and kinetics during weight-bearing activities at baseline and the risk of future anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis according to PRISMA guidelines. A search in the databases MEDLINE (PubMed), CINAHL, EMBASE and Scopus was performed. Inclusion criteria were prosp

Objectives: Recent evidence from the 7-year followup of the Pediatric Osteoporosis Prevention (POP) study indicates an inverse correlation between years of participation in a physical activity (PA) intervention and fracture risk in children. However, we could not see a statistically significant reduction in fracture risk, which urged for an extension of the intervention. Setting: The study was con

Objective: Following the Ross operation, pulmonary autografts tend to dilate over time. This study researches the fate of the pulmonary autograft - at 4.5 years following the modified Ross operation - with special reference to the impact of the modification on (a) pulmonary autograft dilatation, (b) the neo-aortic root geometry, (c) neo-aortic valve function and (d) the coronary artery reserve. Me

Panel discussion during Sustainability Week in Lund 2023 Is it an early sign of stress that you can't enjoy music? Are there contexts where noise is good? What makes "Djungellekan" in Helsingborg different from a normal playground? And what does "a sound environment á la carte" mean? Three researchers and a sound creator were brought together to discuss sustainable sound environments during Sustai

Purpose: To prospectively compare nephrotoxicity and radiodensity of plasma hyperosmotic gadolinium chelates (attenuation-osmotic ratio of 1: 1) with those of plasma iso-osmotic iodine-based contrast media (attenuation-osmotic ratio of 3: 1 or 6: 1) after renal arteriography in ischemic porcine kidneys. Materials and Methods: The local animal care committee approved this study. The following contr

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

Generativ Artificiell Intelligens (GAI) har utvecklats snabbt under de senaste två åren, vilket snabbt väckt frågor om hur EU:s upphovsrättsliga lag-stiftning ska tillämpas på denna nya teknik. Genererar GAI kopior? Bryter GAI-träning och outputs mot upphovsmannens ensamrätt för exemplar-framställning när den hämtar data från Internet? Hur ska de obligatoriska undantagen för tillfälliga reproduktiWith the fast development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAIs) over the last two years, questions have quickly been raised about how EU copyright law applies to this new technology. Do GAIs produce reproductions? Do the controversial training and outputs of GAIs infringe on the copyright of works gathered from the Internet? How do the mandatory ex-ceptions of temporary reproductions and te

Objectives. During the past decade, the position of biologics in the therapeutic armamentarium, the number of approved indications and the number of available biologics have changed. Available data on (long-term) safety might thus pertain to patient populations not comparable with contemporary patients. The aim of this study was to assess the extent to which contemporary patients who start or swit

Human rights defenders, social leaders, and environmental and indigenous activists fight for political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights and often face intimidation and violence as a consequence. In this article, we analyze how the implementation of the peace agreement signed in 2016 between the government of Colombia and the FARC-EP guerrilla group affects environment and huma

Despite a global increase in gender equality, intimate partner violence (IPV) still plagues all nations. Moreover, IPV is still a heavily stereotyped crime where women are victims and men are perpetrators. Due to the gendered nature of IPV, information that either conforms or deviates from gender expectations can change the perceptions of perpetrators and victims of IPV. The present study investig

Det här arbetet behandlar begreppet funktionalitet inom den Europeiska varumärkesrätten och i synnerhet hur det absoluta registreringshindret för symboler som uteslutande består av en form som tillför betydande värde till varan tillämpas i förhållande till symboler som består av en produkts form. Gällande rätt för varumärken bestående av en produkts form beskrivs både vad avser tekniskt funktionelThis thesis concerns the notion of functionality in European trademark law and in particular how the absolute ground of refusal for signs that exclusively consist of a shape which gives substantial value to the goods is applied in relation to signs consisting of the shape of products. The current law relating to shape of product marks is described both as regards technically functional signs and s

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether there is evidence of performance persistence among 726 funds with net asset values denominated in Euros. The study is carried out on data ranging from April 1992 to April 2009. Persistence is searched for in raw, risk adjusted and alpha performance. The results attained provide evidence for the distinguishing of performance persistence in the sho

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether ease of access to alcohol at the neighborhood level moderates the impact of familial liability and marital status on risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD). Method: Individuals in Sweden were divided into those residing in a neighborhood with (n = 14.1%) versus without (n = 85.9%) an alcohol outlet (bars/nightclubs or government stores). A

Background: Will being a caregiver further impact the health of a group already at risk of adverse health due to old age? This study aimed to answer the questions whether short- and long-term healthcare consumption and mortality differ between informal caregivers and non-caregivers and between high-burden and low-burden informal caregivers. Method: The study population consisted of 423 caregivers
