OBJECTIVE To compare retinal function via full-field electroretinographic (ffERG) recordings in 6.5-year-old children born extremely preterm with children born at term. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A subcohort studywas conducted from July 1, 2010, to January 15, 2014, of the national Extremely Preterm Infants in Sweden Study, including preterm children (<27 weeks' gestational age) and childre

Electrophysiological studies in Drosophila melanogaster and Periplaneta americana have found that the receptor current in their microvillar photoreceptors is generated by two light-activated cationic channels, TRP (transient receptor potential) and TRPL (TRP-like), each having distinct properties. However, the relative contribution of the two channel types to sensory information coding by photorec

A Fe–Ti-rich garnet, clinopyroxene, and quartz eclogite sample from the 1.0 Ga Sveconorwegian orogen, SW Sweden, contains abundant quartz, rutile, and zircon in distinct micro-textural sites: garnet core, garnet rim, and matrix, constituting an ideal case for investigation of the behavior of Zr-in-rutile and Ti-in-quartz at high-pressure and temperature. A P–T path, peaking at 16.5–19 kbar and 850

Studies showing that large-scale public health interventions in early life have lasting consequences are still scarce and rarely disclose the mechanisms. In 1931–1946, the Swedish state reformed the childbirth institutional system that led to the openings of the new maternity wards and to the gradual decline in home deliveries assisted by midwives. Maternity wards offered improved conditions for a

Motivated by the phenomenon of one laptop per child in education at high-school level in the Swedish public sector, this master’s thesis elaborates on the question of ethics in public consumption. My research aims to show that collective actors such as municipalities can be seen as (un)ethical consumers and that they need to become aware of this. What I find problematic is the underlying processes

Background: The large smartphone manufacturers are desperately searching for a product to follow smartphones which have lately gained close to commodity status. The manufacturers are putting a lot of faith into wearables, which they hope will become the next big thing. There is however not an agreed upon view on which shape they should take or which functionalities they should possess. Purpose: Th

This paper examines the downward trend in the U.S. labor share of income, which is shown to have declined significantly over the last two decades. This phenomenon is in direct contradiction with standard neoclassical growth theory, which postulates constant factor shares of income. Increased trade with low-income countries, financialization, and the decline of labor unions are some of the explanat

Många personers yrke kräver noggrann rengöring av händer flera gånger dagligen, och det är tydligt att huden tar stryk av detta. En mjukgörande kräm som samtidigt innehåller alkohol för att döda bakterierna hade varit en välkommen lösning för dessa personer. Men för att veta om alkoholen kan påverka krämens stabilitet behöver man veta hur de separata komponenterna samspelar.For personnel working in areas where hand disinfection is important, skin irritation on hands is a large and real problem. A solution may be a hand cream, containing ethanol, with moisturizing properties by using a Pickering emulsion. However, the effect of ethanol on a Pickering emulsion is unknown. The objective of this work was to gain understanding of this by mapping the phase diagram of trigl

Jag har identifierat ett speciellt samarbetsproblem inom området frånskilda föräldrars umgänge med sina gemensamma barn. Det handlar om att ena föräldern inte fullgör sitt umgänge utan bara uteblir. Jag har kallat detta för omvänt umgängessabotage. Jag har inte i dagens regelverk funnit någon rättslig lösning när detta problem inträffar. Därför har jag undersökt om problemet kan förebyggas i förväI have identified a problem of cooperation in the field of divorced parents spending time with their children. The problem is that one parent is deliberately absent and not fulfilling the agreements of spending time with the children. I have called it reverse visitation interference, and I haven’t found any legal solution to it. Therefore, I have evaluated if the problem can be prevented by agreement

Bioenergy as an alternative source for energy production and transportation has gained attention to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) as dedicated energy crops for heat and energy production have many demonstrated and proved climatic, biodiversity and environmental benefits, but concerns regarding the occurred Land Cover Change (LCC) from agriculture

In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,

This thesis explores the name, naming and naming politics in three poetic texts which exhibit a concern with the normative force of language: Cristina Peri Rossi’s Evohé (1971), Julia Álvarez’ The Other Side/El otro lado (1995) and Ana Arzoumanian’s (2006) Juana I. In Evohé the woman-body and the woman-word collide and penetrate each other; in The Other Side/ El otro lado the English code conflict

The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether tort liability claims against public authorities for breaches of the ECHR can be defined as a constitutional right in Swedish law. The theoretical definition of what constitutes a constitutional right is constructed through elements of Robert Alexy’s A Theory of Constitutional Rights. The theory is applied on the current applicable law regarding the

Idag skiljer rättsväsendet inte på mäns våld mot kvinnor och hedersrelaterat våld. Det finns inget konkret stöd i gällande rätt för att beakta fenomenet heder, utan det går in under allmänna paragrafer och bestämmelserna om grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning i 4 kap. 4 a § BrB. Syftet med förevarande uppsats har främst varit att ur ett de lege lata-perspektiv utreda om det hedersrelToday, the judiciary does not distinguish honor related violence from men’s violence against women. There is no concrete support in existing law to consider the phenomenon of honor. Instead it is covered by general enactments and the provisions of violation of integrity and of violation of a woman’s integrity in The Swedish Penal Code chapter 4 paragraph 4 a. The main purpose with the present essa

Attacken fick omfattande uppmärksamhet i internationell media, och den 7 april 2017 valde USA att avfyra 59 kryssningsrobotar mot flygbasen al-Shayrat, vilken var den flygbas som använts för att genomföra gasattacken. USA sade sig vilja säkerställa att flygbasen inte användes för att utföra ytterligare attacker. Den On the 4th of April 2017, the Syrian government carried out a gas attack on the Syrian city of Khan Shaykun. Three days later, on the 7th of April, the United States launched 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from a U.S. vessel in Mediterranean Sea. The missiles where aimed at Shayrat Airbase, which had been used to carry out the gas attack on Khan Sheykun. The U.S. claimed that the attack on Shayrat Ai

Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck har fått stor uppmärksamhet i samhällsdebat-ten under 2000-talet. Den ökade uppmärksamheten har resulterat i en rad åt-gärder från staten, däribland kriminaliseringar. För att en ny kriminalisering ska vidtas behöver den kunna rättfärdigas. I statliga utredningar och doktrin framförs kriterier och principer som bör vara uppfyllda för att en kriminali-sering ska vaHonor-related violence and oppression has received a lot of attention in Swe-den during the 2000s. The increased attention has resulted in a number of measures from the state, including criminalization. A new criminalization must be justified in order to be established. State investigations and doctrines set out criteria and principles that should be met for a criminalization to be ac-ceptable. In
