Simulations of future tropospheric composition often include substantial increases in biogenic isoprene emissions arising from the Arrhenius-like leaf emission response and warmer surface temperatures, and from enhanced vegetation productivity in response to temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. However, a number of recent laboratory and field data have suggested a direct inhibition of le
Background: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists have proved effective as treatment against rheumatoid arthritis ( RA), but the unresolved issue of whether the use of anti-TNF therapy increases the already elevated risk of lymphoma in RA remains a concern. Methods: Using the Swedish Biologics Register (ARTIS), the Swedish Cancer Register, pre-existing RA cohorts and cross-linkage with other na
It is hard to defend the view that biotic communities represent a simple and predictable response to the abiotic environment. Biota and the abiotic environment interact, and the environment of an individual certainly includes its neighbors and visitors in the community. The complexity of community assembly calls forth a quest for general principles, yet current results and theories on assembly rul
Detailed weather predictions are of interest e.g. to protect humans and society from damages caused by extreme weather. To do this today’s forecast models need higher resolution, i.e. less distance between measure points. So-called non-hydrostatic models are used when this distance decreases. The development of this type of models has progressed during the past 20 years due to more powerful comput
Fynd vid brottsplatser av vävnadsprov som kan användas för DNA-profilering har fått en ökande betydelse vid såväl utredning av brott som i efterföljande rättsliga processer. Genom en kombination av förfinad genetisk teknologi och förbättrade möjligheter att via datoriserade register jämföra DNA-fynd från brottsplatser med tidigare insamlade DNA-profiler från kända eller misstänkta brottslingar kanThe securing at crime scenes of tissue samples that can be used for DNA-profiling is gaining increasing importance in criminal investigations, as well as in lawsuits. Thanks to the combination of refined genetic technologies and markedly improved means to compare DNA profiles detected at crime scenes with those stored in various forensic registries through computerized database searches, both Swed
Bröstarvingars i princip ovillkorliga rätt till arv regleras genom laglotten, vilken ger barnen rätt till hälften av kvarlåtenskapen. Åsikterna går emellertid isär kring huruvida laglottsrätten står i överensstämmelse med värderingarna i dagens samhälle. Framställningen syftar till, att med en rättsdogmatisk metod, undersöka laglottsinstitutets utveckling genom historien och bakgrunden till lagstiThe statutory share of inheritance gives the direct heirs of a deceased person an almost unconditional right to retain half the property of the inheritance. Although opinions differ regarding whether the statutory share of inheritance complies with the set of values in today’s Swedish society. This essay aims, by using a legal dogmatic method, to examine the development of the statutory share of i
Med 1944 års djurskyddslag införs de första djurförsöksbestämmelserna i svensk rätt. Debatten om djurförsökens reglering hade då under lång tid varit föremål för ett flertal motioner i den svenska riksdagen, utan att resultera i någon lagstiftning. Genom att försöka kontextualisera bestämmelserna söker jag svar på frågan vilka faktorer i den rättsliga utvecklingen som kan bidragit till tidpunkten The scientific use of animals is a complex question, in itself and in law. In this essay the rules regarding animal experimentation are studied through the lens of the legislator’s arguments as well as the historical context in which these rules first came about. Thus, this essay situate the Animal Protection Act of 1944 in its historical context, as well as analyzing the arguments on the use of a
Risk communication is an interactive process which aims to reduce public concerns about health- and environmental risks through gaining trust and confidence. PFASs (Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) is more addressed today amongst Swedish municipalities because there are concern for surface- and groundwater pollution and concern about long-term health risks. This study aims to invest
"It’s not like I’ve lived on a park bench…" : About stigmas surrounding narcotics abuse There are stigmas surrounding the abuse of narcotics that the members of society share and uphold. The stigma is produced by the idea of who a narcotics abuser is on a political level, an idea that will be reproduced by the instances of society, such as the health care or social services, that deal w
Denna framställning utgör en rättslig analys av Gällivare tingrätts dom angående Girjas sameby. Denna dom är i skrivande stund inte slutligt avgjord utan har överklagats till hovrätten. Tingsrätten slöt sig till att rennäringslagen stred mot egendomsskyddet i regeringsformen och lämnade denna lag utan avseende.

This case is appealed to a court of appeal, so the matter has not yet become final. The court stated that parts of the reindeer industry law (rennäringslagen) were not applicable in the current case due to the conflict with the property protection (egendomskyddet). The court ruled in f
Den 1 januari 2019 infördes omfattande ändringar i det svenska företagsbeskattningssystemet.

Commercial banks can play an important role in environmental issues. Having a role of an intermediary in an economy, because of their importance for the business sector, commercial banks can influence and contribute to the healthy environment significantly. Still, the banking sector is slowly responding to environmental challenges in comparison to other sectors: banks’ direct impacts on the enviro
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av fem fristående uppsatser som alla bidrar till den hälsoekonomiska litteraturen om socioekonomiska skillnader i hälsa och hälsorelaterat beteende. De två första uppsatserna, tillsammans med det tillhörande avsnittet i introduktionen, utgör en kompass för ojämlikhetsanalytiker i den snåriga diskussionen om hur vi bör mäta ojämlikhet i hälsa. I This thesis consists of five self-contained, yet related, research papers, which all contribute to the economic literature on socioeconomic differences in health and health related behavior. The first two papers provide a compass in the discussion of how to measure health inequality and, more specifically, how to adjust measures and concepts when moving from an unbounded income variable to a bound
Bilden av den traditionella kärnfamiljen som enbart ett heterosexuellt gift par med barn ifrågasätts allt mer och andra familjekonstellationer blir allt vanligare. I detta kan vi se att homosexuella personers relationer och familjer har lyfts fram mer och mer och tidigare fördomar om dessa tolereras i mindre grad. Denna förändring i attityd sker dock i olika takt runtom i Europa, vilket gör EuropaThe traditional family as a heterosexual married couple with children is a norm that is increasingly being questioned and other family constellations are getting more common. In this context the relations and families of homosexual persons are being highlighted and prejudices against them are less tolerated. This change of attitude is occurring at different rates around Europe, which renders the t
The goal of this thesis is to build a near-real time defoliation detector that could be used, early in the spring, to find out which areas of a birch forest are being affected by an insect outbreak. The importance of a reliable detection at the beginning of the spring lies on the possibility for an early intervention. The data on which the study is based is the Normalized Difference Vegetation Ind
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. The asperation principle is the principle that is used in Swedish law in the case of multiple crimes. The principle is given importance on two separate occasions in the penalty determination.
