In the late 1990s, the member states of the European Union decided to establish a Common European Asylum System (CEAS), in order to enhance refugee protection. However, the emerging common asylum policies have been deeply criticized for breaching international norms and principles. In this thesis I argue that a discrepancy does exist between the international human rights norm expressed as the Gen

I think almost everyone has heard of Narnia, the magical world accessible through a wardrobe. As a child I saw it as a beautiful story about how good defeats evil and never put more thought into it. Not until I read the book as an adult did I see the symbolism of Christian beliefs in the story. The story also contains a lot of mythical creatures and my personal interest in mythology made me want t

I Sverige föds varje år ca 90 000 barn. Fyra procent av dem föds för tidigt, det vill säga före 37 fullgångna veckor. Syftet med studien var att identifiera stressfyllda moment för föräldrar till för tidigt födda barn samt att finna olika möjligheter/vägar till bearbetning. Metoden var en litteraturstudie där tio vetenskapliga artiklar granskades. Resultatet visade att föräldrar till för tidigt fö

BackgroundThere is a continuous and dynamic discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) in present-day society. AI is expected to impact on healthcare processes and could contribute to a more sustainable use of resources allocated to healthcare in the future. The aim for this work was to establish a foundation for a Swedish perspective on the potential effect of AI on the medical physics profession

Background Surgical site infection (SSI) may lead to vertebral osteomyelitis, diskitis, paraspinal musculoskeletal infection, and abscess, and remains a significant concern in postoperative management of spinal surgery. SSI is associated with greater postoperative morbidity and increased health care payments. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis using MarketScan to identify health care ut

Background: Being an informal carer of a person with dementia (PwD) can have a negative effect on the carer’s health and quality of life, and spouse carers have been found to be especially vulnerable. Yet relatively little is known about the care provided and support received by spouse carers. This study compares spouse carers to other informal carers of PwDs regarding their care provision, the su

There is relatively little research on women’s involvement with drugs in the Nordic area. While women’s experiences have enjoyed greater attention in the literature than previously (Chesney-Lind and Chagnon, 2016), many analyses appear to consider gender as a single variable in addition to class. Further, gender has become synonymous with women, ‘as if the other, the general’ were not also similar

Fully localised solitary waves are travelling-wave solutions of the three- dimensional gravity–capillary water wave problem which decay to zero in every horizontal spatial direction. Their existence has been predicted on the basis of numerical simulations and model equations (in which context they are usually referred to as ‘lumps’), and a mathematically rigorous existence theory for strong surfac

Fenomenet utstationering av arbetstagare på EU:s inre marknad regleras i såväl unionsrätten som i medlemsstaternas nationella arbetsrätt. Uppsatsen undersöker hur rättsutvecklingen sett ut på unionsnivå med avseende på regleringen utstationering av arbetstagare och hur denna rättsutveckling påverkat den svenska arbetsrätten. Utvecklingen har präglats av framtagandet av sekundärrättsliga instrumentThe posting of workers within the internal market of the EU is regulated in European Union law as well as the labour law of member states. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the regulation of the posting of workers has evolved in European Union law and how this legal development has impacted Swedish labour law as it pertains to the posting of workers. This field of regulation has been im

While Ellis, Reid, and Kramer’s life history framework is convincing in explaining individual variation in life history strategies, it has certain limitations, which we discuss – drawing notably on the economic theory of fertility choice. In particular, we suggest that ambient cues to extrinsic mortality alone are not sufficient to trigger sustained net fertility decline.

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) and inflammatory arthritis (IA), including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and axial spondylarthritis (axSpA), are leading causes of disability worldwide, significantly impacting health and quality of life. Sleep issues are highly prevalent in these populations, exacerbating pain, fatigue, and disease activity. However, there is a dearth of evi

OBJECTIVES: The National Board of Health and Welfare in Sweden published the national guidelines for Parkinson's Disease 2016. The aim of this study was to summarize this evidence review and development of the guidelines, focusing on the economic evaluation of device-aided therapies (deep brain stimulation, pump-based infusion of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel or apomorphine) for Parkinson's di

BACKGROUND: An international panel of obesity medicine experts from multiple professional organizations examined patterns of obesity care and current obesity treatment guidelines to identify areas requiring updating in response to emerging science and clinical evidence.AIMS: The panel focused on multiple medical health and societal issues influencing effective treatment of obesity and identified s

We discuss two variations of Edwards’ duality theorem. More precisely, we prove one version of the theorem for cones not necessarily containing all constant functions. In particular, we allow the functions in the cone to have a non-empty common zero set. In the second variation, we replace suprema of point evaluations and infima over Jensen measures by suprema of other continuous functionals and i

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials and observational studies assessing outcomes of different endovascular management approaches for the treatment of acute lower limb ischaemia (ALI) when adjusted for Rutherford classification. Data Sources: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Review Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed

Bakgrund I Sverige föds det ca 110 000-120 000 barn varje år varav ca 5% är prematurt födda, det betyder att de är födda innan vecka 37. Att födas prematurt kan innebära en rad olika hälsorisker. Svenska neonatalföreningen har tagit fram nationella riktlinjer för undersökning och uppföljning av dessa barn. Det finns mycket forskning som visar att tidiga interventioner för att hjälpa barnen är väld

BACKGROUND: Accreditation of cancer centres aims to deliver high-quality, person-centered care and underscores the integration with education, research, and innovation. Over the past decade, cancer centres in the Nordic countries have engaged in accreditation processes through the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes (OECI).OBJECTIVE: This study provides an overview of a rapidly evolving lan
