Sammanfattning Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets rätt till kännedom om sitt ursprung. Frågan har diskuterats vid flertalet tillfällen och är nu aktuell på nytt, då den uppmärksammas i utredningen SOU 2009:61 – Modernare adoptionsregler. I utredningen föreslås en lagstadgad informationsskyldighet för adoptivföräldrar att informera barnet om dess ursprung. Denna bestämmelse skall sakna sankSummary This Graduate Thesis examines the adopted child´s right to knowledge of his or her origin. The biological parentage has been a subject of discussion throughout the history of adoption. In accordance with SOU 2009:61, the Committee has proposed a provision to be introduced requiring a person who has an adopted child, to inform the child of his or her biological origin. The provision is not

Motivationen med studien var den alldeles för höga stråldosen som används vid CTundersökningar. I de allra flesta fallen anpassas man inte rörströmmen efter patientens storlek och därmed får smalare patienter en onödigt hög stråldos. Målet var att reducera stråldosen till patienter som undersöks med datortomografi utan att minska på bildkvalité, genom att anpassa rörströmmen efter patientens stoIn this study we have investigated the possibilities of dose reduction in CT at a constant level of image quality by adjustment of the tube current to the phantom size. The motivation with the study is the high radiation doses to the patients and the increasing frequency of CT examinations and the variety of examinations in CT, and that the same tube current is used for different patient sizes.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hemofili A är en form av blödarsjuka som beror på en medfödd defekt av äggviteämnet faktor VIII (FVIII). FVIII spelar en viktig roll för att kroppens blodlevringsförmåga (s.k. koagulation) ska fungera optimalt och med nedsatt funktion hos FVIII riskerar man att drabbas av allvarliga blödningar i framför allt leder, men även i muskler, slemhinnor (t.ex. näsblödning) och Haemophilia A (HA) is caused by defective synthesis of coagulation factor VIII(FVIII), which has serious effects on haemostasis; joints being the most common site of bleeding. The development of FVIII replacements has improved the situation for patients with haemophilia such that chronic arthropathy can be prevented, and life expectancy and the quality of life have increased. However, approximatel

The increasing spread of global pandemics such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria, in particular in developing countries, has forced the engagement of industrialized countries and pharmaceutical companies. Because medicines to cure these diseases are often under patent protection, they are not affordable for people in developing countries where health crises prevail. In November 2001, WTO

The Swedish government has specified a goal for the Swedish wind power that in 2020 it will generate 30 TWh of energy per year. This should be compared with the present energy produced from wind power of 2.5 TWh / year. To meet these goals, several thousand new wind turbines have to be built. Today, we build the most land-based wind turbines on strong and stiff soils, but probably in the future

BACKGROUND: We investigated the potential associations between cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) levels of phosphorylated tau (P-tau) and total tau (T-tau) with short-term response to cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment, longitudinal outcome and progression rates in Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS: This prospective, observational study included 129 participants clinically diagnosed with mild-to-m

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether a prime-boost vaccination strategy, i.e., a dose of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) and a dose of 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23), enhances antibody response compared to single PCV dose in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases treated with different immunosuppressive drugs and controls. METHODS: Patients receiving rituximab (n = 30), abatacept (n

SynopsisOptimized structures describing key features of the potential energy surface for water exchange at three planar d8 centers have been calculated using ab initio density functional theory. The local density approximation (LDA), including relativistic corrections for Pt, gives good agreement with the available experimental ground state structural data. LDA binding energies together with expli

A numerical model has been used to simulate the conditions observed during the ACE-2 Hillcloud experiment and to study the processes which may be taking place. The model incorporates gas phase chemistry of sulphur and nitrogen compounds upstream of the cloud, and the interaction of aerosol, precursor trace gases and oxidants within the cloud. Gas phase and aerosol inputs to the model have been pro

The aim of the project was to develop a methodology for the chromatographic analysis able to identify the key odorants in meaty food products. The approach was based on the analysis of an already in market product and the theoretical background of the meaty flavors sensorially. Firstly, a custom-made flavor was created for the experiments covering as much as possible a broad area of compounds prec

To comply with the Paris Agreement and to deal with the threat caused by climate change, the Swedish Parliament has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. For the transport sector, which accounts for 30 % of total GHG emissions, a milestone target is to reduce GHG emission by 70 % by 2030 compared to 2010 (2030 goal). Biofuels is in this respect considered decisive to reach the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nya möjligheter att förutsäga sjukdomsutvecklingen vid tidig ledgångsreumatism. I denna avhandling presenteras resultaten från sex studier av patienter med tidig reumatoid artrit (RA) – ledgångsreumatism. Syftet med avhandlingen var att i det tidiga sjukdomsskedet, så snart som möjligt efter diagnos, försöka skaffa information om hur sjukdomen kommer att utvecklas - om Objective: To investigate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) and antibodies to citrullinated proteins (anti-CCP) in predicting radiologic outcome in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Patients: All patients were included in the BARFOT programme (baseline). The patients had rheumatoid arthritis of recent onset with mean disease duratio

Contributions of changes in soil moisture to the projected climate change in the tropics at the end of the twenty first century are quantified using the simulations from five different global climate models, which contributed to the GLACE–CMIP5 experiment. “GLACE” refers to the Global Land Atmosphere Coupling Experiment and “CMIP5” to the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. T

Background: Body weight and body mass index (BMI) are positively related to risk of colon cancer in men, whereas weak or no associations exist in women. This discrepancy may be related to differences in fat distribution between sexes or to the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in women. Methods: We used multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association betwee

This study aimed to find out how the insulation of the footwear changes over one week of use. A thermal foot model with 8 measuring zones and 5 “sweat glands” was used for tests. A thin sock was donned on the model to allow better water distribution all over the foot surface. Four boots were tested over a period of 5 days. Each day was divided into 9 hour measurement period and 15 hour conditionin

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ett kärnkraftverk är utrustat med ett omfattande försvar avsett att förhindra radioaktivt utsläpp vid en eventuell reaktorolycka. Detta försvar är uppbyggt av ett antal skyddsbarriärer, där reaktorinneslutningen utgör den sista barriären mot omgivningen. Inneslutningens primära uppgift är att motstå det inre övertryck som kan förväntas vid en reaktorolycka. Alla svenskaA nuclear power plant is provided with an extensive defense intended to prevent radioactive discharge in case of a reactor accident. This defense is built up of several independent safety barriers, where the reactor containment constitutes the last barrier to the environment. The fundamental safety function of the containment is to withstand the internal pressure expected in the event of an accide

It is now becoming increasingly clear that free radicals contribute to brain damage in several conditions, such as hyperoxia and trauma. It has been more difficult to prove that free radical production mediates ischemic brain damage, but it has often been suggested that it may be a major contributor to reperfusion damage, observed following transient ischemia. Recent results demonstrate that cereb

Since 1992 semi-continuous in-situ observations of greenhouse gas concentrations have been performed at the tall tower of Cabauw (4.927 degrees E, 51.971 degrees N, -0.7 ma.s.l.). Through 1992 up to now, the measurement system has been gradually extended and improved in precision, starting with CO2 and CH4 concentrations from 200 ma.g.l. in 1992 to vertical gradients at 4 levels of the gases CO2,

Background The popularity of tattoos has increased dramatically over the last few decades. Tattoo ink often contains carcinogenic chemicals, e.g., primary aromatic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and metals. The tattooing process invokes an immunologic response that causes translocation of tattoo ink from the injection site. Deposition of tattoo pigment in lymph nodes has been confirmed
