Sverige har sedan länge ansetts vara ett land befriat från svågerpolitik och korruption. Korruption är dock ett vitt begrepp som härstammar från det latinska ordet corrumpere, vilket betyder muta. Följaktligen omfattas den straffrättsliga terminologin av givande och tagande av muta av begreppet korruption. Korruption anses vara ett medel för att otillbörligen påverka besluts- och handlingsprocesseSweden has long been considered a country free from nepotism and corruption. Corruption is however a broad term which derives from the Latin word corrumpere, meaning bribe. Consequently the criminal terminology of giving and receiving bribes comprises the concept of corruption. Corruption is a way to improperly influence the decision making and processes in a society. The damaging effects on a soc

EU:s marknadsmissbruksförordning, MAR, är ett centralt regelverk på aktiemarknadsrättens område och har varit gällande sedan juli 2016. I förordningen stadgas en enhetlig definition av begreppet insiderinformation som har en betydande roll för tillämpningen av, och förståelsen för, flera bestämmelser i förordningen. Dessa syftar till att skapa transparens på marknaden, såväl som att stävja olika tThe EU Market Abuse Regulation, MAR, entered into force in July 2016 and is a central framework in the field of stock-market law. The regulation provides a uniform definition of the concept of inside information that has a significant role in both the application and understanding of several provisions in the regulation. These aim to create transparency in the market, as well as to combat various

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem worldwide as more drug-resistant bacteria are identified. However, resistance is comparably rare against antibiotics that target the cytoplasmic membrane. Membrane thickness is an important factor for the mode of action of these antibiotics, and difficult to study. Thus, constructing a biosensor to measure membrane thickness in vivo is of great i

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most common psychiatric disorders of childhood that persists into adulthood in the majority of cases. The evidence on persistence poses several difficulties for adult psychiatry considering the lack of expertise for diagnostic assessment, limited treatment options and patient facilities across Europe. Methods: The European Ne

Objective To determine if the prediction of the Malignancy of all adnexal mass using pattern recognition, i.e. subjective evaluation of gray-scale and Doppler ultrasound findings, is as accurate when based on static images as it is when based on a real-time ultrasound examination. Methods The static images of 166 non-consecutive patients with 'difficult' adnexal masses, who all underwent surgery a

BACKGROUND. Androgen deprivation is the only effective systemic therapy available for patients with prostatic carcinoma, but is associated with a gradual transition to a hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRCAP) in which ligand-independent activation of the androgen receptor has been implicated. The beta(2)-adrenergic receptor (beta(2)-AR) is a well-known activator of the androgen receptor. METHO

Background: Prevention and treatment of medical issues are the main task of a health service at a youth camp. However, only few reports about organisation and implementation of camp health care are available. This makes it difficult for future camp directors to plan and estimate the health care needed for a certain camp size. We summarize the experience in planning and running health care for the

In terrestrial ecosystems, the largest pool of amorphous silica (ASi) is stored in soils and is an important reservoir of biologically active Si for the global biogeochemical cycling of Si. Only limited data are available that quantify the size of this reservoir and often these estimates are made from the physical separation of silt-sized phytoliths, which can underestimate the ASi pool. Soil samp

Understanding the responses of tundra systems to global change has global implications. Most tundra regions lack sustained environmental monitoring and one of the only ways to document multi-decadal change is to resample historic research sites. The International Polar Year (IPY) provided a unique opportunity for such research through the Back to the Future (BTF) project (IPY project #512). This a

The Advanced GAmma Tracking Array (AGATA) is a European project to develop and operate the next generation gamma-ray spectrometer. AGATA is based on the technique of gamma-ray energy tracking in electrically segmented high-purity germanium crystals. This technique requires the accurate determination of the energy, time and position of every interaction as a gamma ray deposits its energy within the

Background: The widening socioeconomic gap in smoking during pregnancy remains a challenge to the Swedish antenatal care services. However, the influence of cultural factors in explaining the socioeconomic differences in smoking during pregnancy is not clear among the immigrant women. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the development of smoking prevalence among pregnant immigrant wo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Växter påverkar marken rent mekaniskt genom att jordstrukturen ändras när en rot växer, men också kemiskt genom att rötterna utsöndrar organiska molekyler. De organiska molekylerna ökar näringstillgången för mikroorganismerna i marken och därmed ändras tillväxthastigheten och biomassan hos mikroorganismerna. I området runt rötter, rhizosfären, råder det därför en hög miMicrobial activity in soil is generally assumed to be limited by carbon availability. The soil closest to roots, the rhizosphere, is therefore a zone of high microbial activity due to carbon containing substances released by the root. In this work short-term effects in the rhizosphere have been the subject of investigation. I have shown that the thymidine and leucine incorporation techniques are w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Effekter av narkosgas, låg syrgashalt och blodförlust under blodspädning (hemodilution) på sövda grisar. Blodspädning (hemodilution) används under operation för att minska behovet av blodtransfusion med dess inneboende risker. Hemodilution innebär att blod tappas före operationsstart och ersätts med en blodkroppsfri lösning. Om en blödning uppstår under operationen blirHemodilution reduces the need for blood transfusion and hereby the risk for transmission of infectious agents. The present study investigated effects on systemic and myocardial circulation and oxygenation, and blood lactate concentrations; induced by nitrous oxide, isoflurane, hypoxia, and uncompensated blood loss, in pigs hemodiluted to a hematocrit of 11%. In addition, indicators of hypovolemia

Kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) kan idag erbjuda evidensbaserade behandlingar för de flesta psykiska sjukdomar, men har inte utvecklats systematiskt för svagbegåvade personer med psykiska besvär. Individerna i denna osynliga befolkningsgrupp är emellertid extra sårbara för psykisk ohälsa pga sina sociala livsvillkor, samt sina psykobiologiska förutsättningar. Med stöd i forskning om KBT för lågbegåCognitive-Behavioural-Therapy (CBT) can today offer evidence-based treatments for most psychological disorders, but has not developed systematically for people with borderline intellectual functioning (IQ 70-85) and their psychological disorders. Individuals in this unseen population are, however, exceptionally vulnerable to psychological disorders because of their social life situation, as well a

To reduce the risk of serious chemical accidents to occur there is a legislation called the Seveso-legislation. One part of this legislation demands that all business that handle certain amounts of chemical compounds to submit a safety report in order to get permission to run their business. The safety report should contain over-all plans of how to handle safety as well as detailed descriptions o

Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies. Several histotypes with different molecular and morphological features representing this cancer type make it very challenging from clinico-pathological perspective. Thus there is need for better prognostic and molecular markers. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a subtype with poor prognosis and very distinct phenotype when

Riverine high molecular weight dissolved organic material (HMWDOM) >1 kDa contains varying amounts of nitrogen. This nitrogen is partly available for growth of phytoplankton and can therefore contribute to algal bloom formation. However, there is a lack of knowledge on species-specific utilization efficiency of this HMWDOM-bound nitrogen. A specific question is whether this nitrogen can be used by

We have studied the kinetics of the solubilization of oil through a temperature jump into a droplet microemulsion phase in the system water-pentaethylene oxide dodecyl ether-decane at 25 C. The initial state is formed by subjecting the equilibrium system at 25 C to a temperature quench to 22, 20, and 14 C, respectively. At this lower temperature, which at equilibrium corresponds to a two-phase sys

Operation of a district heating system is accomplished via a sequence of decisions by the operators controlling the system. These decisions are based on expectations of conditions in the system that are not known at decision time. The operators could be helped by a decision support system that computes predictions of future system variables and suggests appropriate control actions given the availa
