Despite evidence-based foundation, these guidelines stirred controversy among maternity care professionals, who voiced concerns about potential risks and unintended consequences, such as a rising Caesarean section rate. Midwives also highlighted potential impacts on the

Aims: To assess treatment outcomes of patients with IBD starting IV VDZ and switching to SC VDZ in routine clinical care. Methods: Adult patients with IBD switching from IV to SC VDZ treatment between 1 March 2020 and 31 Decembe
Deliver us from evil! : A study of the use of the uncatalogued small print and ephemera at the Lund University Library. Since 1698 everything printed in Sweden has been delivered to, kept, and made accessible at, the Lund University Library. A considerable part of the material is arranged according to the principle of provenance in a collection with an annual growth of approximately 150 shelfmet
The development of Autonomous Drive is escalating, but designing for User Experience in autonomous vehicles remains a challenge since there are no such vehicles out on the commercial market today. Designers are struggling to gain customer insights since the target customers never tried such a product. On the other hand, the main user group of Autonomous Drive in the future will most likely be peop
Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear
EU:s nya mineralstrategi har gett upphov till en jakt på mineraler. Den gröna omställningen kräver säker tillgång till kritiska råmaterial, och i Sverige ses möjligheten att bidra till försörjningen genom initiativ för ökad utvinning. Gruvetableringar medför dock ofta både sociala och miljömässiga påfrestningar för de lokalsamhällen som berörs. Uppsatsen syftar till att tydliggöra i vilken mån sveThe EU’s mineral strategy has initiated a hunt for minerals. The green transition depends on a reliable supply of critical raw materials, and in Sweden, the ambition to contribute to this supply is reflected in recent initiatives aimed at increasing extraction. However, mining operations often impose both social and environmental challenges on the local communities affected. This thesis aims to cl
This work studied a metal fluoride transition state analogue (TSA) complex of β-phosphoglucomutase (βPGM), a phosphoryl transfer enzyme catalysing the interconversion of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) and glucose-1-phosphate (G1P), and its P146A and A136N mutants using advanced NMR spectroscopy methods. Conformational exchange rates of βPGM:MgF3–:G6P TSA complex were extracted at a grid of temperatures

Fast mapping as a way for adults to learn new lexical items is a hot topic and only a limited number of studies have connected fast mapping to brain imaging (see Merhav, Karni, & Gilboa, 2015). The present study aims to compare and contrast explicit encoding with fast mapping of new vocabulary items in adult healthy Swedish native speakers (N=17, NFEMALE=7) as well as connect these behavioural
The purpose of this study was to investigate how risk and vulnerability reducing measures are described, treated over time and what characterizes implemented measures in municipal risk and vulnerability assessments (RVA). In order to do that, risk and vulnerability reducing measures were categorized, by use of a template for document analysis developed for this study. The document analysis was per
During recent years, there has been an increase in supply and consumption of plantbased products worldwide. As many such products are new, the consumption of these has not been thoroughly investigated. Vegetarian products are made from legumes and cereals with different microbiological conditions and challenges than animal products, and thus they may need to be handled differently. It is commonly
With the ongoing climate collapse, there is a need for a capital switch, rerouting investments into low carbon infrastructure. Green bonds are a new financial vehicle aimed to facilitate this transition. Through signaling the issuers’ intent to use the proceeds of the bonds towards environmentally beneficial activities, they increase transparency and allow investors to better calculate risks while
Denna studie belyser problematiken kring den rättsliga bedömningen avseende existensen av flera osäkra rättsfakta. För att ett rättsfaktum ska anses bevisat behöver det göras sannolikt till den grad som motsvarar beviskravet. Det råder dock delade meningar om hur beviskravet ska uppnås då flera osäkra rättsfakta är föremål för rättens prövning. Ska varje rättsfaktum bedömas för sig eller är det de
Ett avgörande om vårdnad, boende och/eller umgänge som inte följts kan verkställas enligt 21 kap. föräldrabalk (FB), förutsatt att det inte är oförenligt med barnets bästa. I sådant fall kan beslutet förenas med tvångsmedel i form av vitesföreläggande eller polishämtning. En ansökan om verkställighet ska avslås om det finns en risk att barnet far illa eller om barnet motsätter sig verkställighet oA decision on custody, resident and/or visitation that has not been followed can be enforced in accordance with Chapter 21 in the Children and Parent Code (föräldrabalk (1949:381)), provided it is not incompatible with the best interests of the child. In such a case, the decision can be combined with coercive measures in the form of an imposition of a conational fine or police retrieval. An applic
Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas

Detta arbete behandlar frågan om straffreduktion vid flerfaldig brottslighet. Asperationsprincipen är den princip som tillämpas i svensk rätt vid flerfaldig brottslighet. Principen ges betydelse vid två skilda tillfällen i påföljdsbestämningen. Den används vid såväl utformningen av en gemensam straffskala som vid straffvärdebedömningen. Enligt principen graderar man brotten i svårighetsgrad där maThis essay analyzes penalty reduction in case of multiple crimes.
