The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes the interface between the blood and the brain tissue. Its primary function is to maintain the tightly controlled microenvironment of the brain. Models of the BBB are useful for studying the development and maintenance of the BBB as well as diseases affecting it. Furthermore, BBB models are important tools in drug development and support the evaluation of t
The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and Youth Self-Report (YSR) are widely used measures of psychiatric symptoms and lately also adapted to the DSM. The incremental validity of adding the scales to each other has not been studied. We validated the DSM subscales for affective, anxiety, attention deficit/hyperactivity (ADHD), oppositional defiant (ODD), conduct problems (CD), and obsessive-compulsiv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemisk industri, inklusive petrokemisk industri, är en av de största av alla världens industrier. Mer än 60% av de produkter som framställs och 90% av de processer som används inom kemisk industri är baserade på katalys. Det är tydligt att katalytiska processer utgör en mycket viktig del av ett antal av de största industrierna och att stura ekonomiska vinningar därför kSynthesis and characterization of new transition metal carbonyl clusters has been undertaken, and evaluation of the new clusters to act as catalysts/catalysts precursor in asymmetric reactions has been carried out. The catalytic hydrogenation of tiglic acid under relatively mild conditions, using diastereomeric clusters of the general formula [(µ-H)2Ru3(µ3-S)(CO)7(µ-1,2-L)] (L= chiral diphosphine
Instruments related to work are commonly illuminated from an ill-health perspective. The need for a concise and useable instrument in workplace health promotion governed the aim of this paper which is to present the development process and quality assessment of the Work Experience Measurement Scale (WEMS). A survey, using a questionnaire based on established theories regarding work and health, and
Since at least 2011, designers and developers around the world have been creating innovative mobile applications for women’s use to increase their sense of security while alone in public space; however, there is little known about women’s everyday use of personal security applications nor how the personal security application phenomenon is making an impact in society. A small Swedish start-up comp
Despite all of the detrimental effects predicted in the event of non-action regarding climate change, a large number of people in the Global North are in a state of social inertia and openly criticise climate change mitigation (CCM) and climate change adaptation (CCA) measures. Most explanatory approaches of this phenomenon do not question the basic beliefs that our system is based on in their ana
De senaste åren har diskussioner gällande straffreduktion i förhållande till flerfaldig brottslighet förts både av politiker och privatpersoner. Att systemet med mängdrabatter är alltför fördelaktigt är ett återkommande argument. Kritiken ledde till att en utredning tillsattes för att se över strafflagstiftningen. Det, tillsammans med den mediala uppmärksamhet som bland annat den så kallade NytorgBoth politicians and private individuals have, in recent years, discussed the Swedish criminal system regarding penalty reduction in relation to multiple crimes. The system being too generous by giving the perpetrator high discounts is a recurring argument. After being criticized for several years, the Swedish government has appointed an investigator to review the Swedish legislation. This, along
Den 4 maj 2021 publicerades betänkandet Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) med ett lagförslag om kriminalisering av rasistiska organisationer. Frågan om att införa ett sådant förbud i Sverige har varit återkommande sedan FN:s internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering ratificerades på 1970-talet. Av konventionen följer en förpliktelse att förOn 4 May 2021 the report Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) was published, presenting a bill on criminalising racist organisations. The issue of prohibiting such organisations has been recurrent in Sweden since the ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in the 1970s. The UN convention requires the state parties to p
This essay analyses the three climate documents published by the Swedish Council of the Bishops between 1989 and 2019. The documents are analysed from a sociological perspective on religion that focuses on the Church of Sweden's role from a crisis perspective in a secularised society. My interest in this subject is based on the common perception that Sweden is the most secular country in the w
Forest fires in mainland Portugal are becoming more extreme, resulting in increasingly larger burnt areas and tragic human fatalities, as was shown by the 2017 fires. Research shows that there are many natural factors contributing to such fire vulnerability conditions, such as climate, fuel continuity, forest structure, tree species types, amongst others, that are intertwined with anthropic factor
Metacognition is necessary for learning. Without know-ing what you know, what you don’t know and what you are about to learn, seeking new knowledge becomes both hard and inefficient. At the same time, keeping old facts (as well as old skills) in mind at a meta-level when striv-ing for new insights is not always an easy task. Conse-quently, external visible cues and representations are essential, r
Bestämmelsen om underlåtenhet att avslöja våldtäkt har sällan åberopats i praktiken. Under 2017 prövades brottet av Högsta domstolen vars dom har tolkats i ett annat våldtäktsmål. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga syfte är att analysera de objektiva förutsättningarna för straffbarhet för åskådare vid underlåtenhet att avslöja våldtäkt samt analysera hur bestämmelsen tillämpas i praktiken. Med det avses såväThe provision regarding failure to reveal an ongoing rape has seldom been invoked in court. However, the crime was tried by the Swedish Supreme Court in 2017 and the judgment has been interpreted in another case of rape. The main purpose of the essay is to analyze the objective prerequisites for criminal responsibility regarding spectators in the event of failure to reveal an ongoing rape. This en
Under de senaste decennierna har förutsättningarna på arbetsmarknaden förändrats, något som har medfört att stress och arbetsrelaterad ohälsa blivit ett stort samhällsproblem. Detta faktum medför ökade krav på arbetsgivaren i form av att skapa balans mellan krav och resurser i arbetet. Av arbetsmiljölagen framgår det att arbetsgivaren är skyldig att vidta alla åtgärder för att motverka uppkomstenOver the last few decades the conditions on the labour market have changed, something that also have contributed to the fact that stress and work-related illness have become a social problem. This actuality increases the demands for the employer when it comes to providing a work situation in balance between requirements and resources. The Work Environment Act states that the employer is obliged t
Sveriges riksdag har beslutat att FN:s konvention om barns rättigheter (Barnkonventionen) ska bli lagstadgad år 2020. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialsekreterare vid enheten Barn och Familj uppfattar och talar om sina egna och andra samhällsaktörers tolkning av vad som är barnets bästa, och om de anser att dessa tolkningar påverkar samarbetet med andra organisationer. Metoden sSweden's government has decided that the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) will be made into law by the year 2020. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how child welfare social workers perceive and talk about what affects their own and other community actors interpretation of the best interest of the child, and if they believe those interpretations have an

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a profound environmental issue in Indonesia. Approximately 69% of Indonesian municipal waste is transported to landfill sites. These sites infuse surrounding ecosystems with toxic compounds, degrade land quality and lead to health and sanitation issues. These factors when combined with poor domestic waste treatment and increased flood susceptibility during
Hanteringen av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsmål har stundtals varit komplicerad till följd av avsaknaden av uttryckliga kostnadsregler på området. På senare tid har kostnadsfrågorna behandlats genom flertalet rättsfall i förhållande till grundläggande fri- och rättigheter i allmänhet och bestämmelserna om en rättvis rättegång i synnerhet. Rättsläget klargjordes delvis genom HFD 2022 ref. 10 dThe law of litigation costs in Swedish administrative law cases has sometimes been complicated due to the lack of clear legal rules on the topic. In recent years the question of litigation costs has been examined in relation to fundamental rights and freedoms. The legal position was partly clarified in the case of HFD 2022 ref. 10 where the Court established a specific scheme for how claims for co
Vid utdömandet av påföljder i den svenska straffrätten utgår domstolarna ifrån brottslighetens straffvärde. De vanligaste faktorerna för nedsättning av straffvärdet är uttryckliga i lagtexten men domstolarna har även möjlighet att beakta andra grunder som de anser vara av vikt. Dessa grunder kan vidare användas för att utdöma straff som understiger straffskalan för det aktuella brottet. Denna uppWhen determining sanctions in Swedish criminal law, the courts assume penal value as the starting point. The most common factors used to reduce penal value is expressed through legislation, however the courts also hold the capacity to consider other elements of the case that they consider to be significant. These factors can further be used to rule below the established penalty scale for the offen
