OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess cancer incidence and cardiovascular mortality among women with a high dietary intake of fatty fish from the Baltic Sea (on the Swedish east coast), contaminated with persistent organochlorine compounds.MATERIAL AND METHODS: Cohorts of fishermen's wives from the Swedish east (1989 subjects) and west (6605 subjects) coasts were established. The mor
Background: Software testing benefits from the usage of Knowledge Management (KM) methods and principles. Thus, there is a need to adopt KM to the software testing core processes and attain the benefits that it provides in terms of cost, quality, etc. Aim: To investigate the usage and implementation of KM for software testing. The major objectives include 1. To identify various software testing as
Premise: The role of pollinators in evolutionary floral divergence has spurred substantial effort into measuring pollinator-mediated phenotypic selection and its variation in space and time. For such estimates, the fitness consequences of pollination processes must be separated from other factors affecting fitness. Methods: We built a fitness function linking phenotypic traits of food-deceptive or
Protein intake is higher in formula-fed than in breast-fed infants during infancy, which may lead to an increased risk of being overweight. Applying alpha-lactalbumin (α-lac)-enriched whey or casein glycomacropeptide (CGMP)-reduced whey to infant formula may enable further reduction of formula protein by improving the amino acid profile. Growth, nutrient intake, and protein metabolites were evalua
Background: To support a victim of violence and establish the correct penalty for the perpetrator, it is crucial to correctly evaluate and communicate the severity of the violence. Recent data have shown these communications to be biased. However, computational language models provide opportunities for automated evaluation of the severity to mitigate the biases. Objective: We investigated whether
The LIN28B RNA binding protein exhibits an ontogenically restricted expression pattern and is a key molecular regulator of fetal and neonatal B lymphopoiesis. It enhances the positive selection of CD5+ immature B cells early in life through amplifying the CD19/PI3K/c-MYC pathway and is sufficient to reinitiate self-reactive B-1a cell output when ectopically expressed in the adult. In this study, i
Klimatklivet is an investment subsidy, to support measures that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Even though Klimatklivet has contributed to climate investments that is estimated to have reduced Sweden’s emissions by 1.3 million tons of greenhouse gases, the investment subsidy has had to endure criticism. Klimatklivet has been accused of not being a cost-effective policy. The objective of t
Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa
Sveriges riksdag har beslutat att FN:s konvention om barns rättigheter (Barnkonventionen) ska bli lagstadgad år 2020. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialsekreterare vid enheten Barn och Familj uppfattar och talar om sina egna och andra samhällsaktörers tolkning av vad som är barnets bästa, och om de anser att dessa tolkningar påverkar samarbetet med andra organisationer. Metoden sSweden's government has decided that the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) will be made into law by the year 2020. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how child welfare social workers perceive and talk about what affects their own and other community actors interpretation of the best interest of the child, and if they believe those interpretations have an
Framtagning av nya produkter som är konkurrenskraftiga ur ett helhetsperspektiv kräver att flera olika avdelningar och kompetenser samverkar. Examensarbetet studerar hur detta kan genomföras på bästa sätt. Begreppet tvärfunktionell samverkan definieras som: Hur väl olika funktioner arbetar mot ett gemensamt mål. Projektet undersöker hur svenska företag ser på tvärfunktionell samverkan, vilka konkNew product development requires the cooperation of several departments and competences to create competitive products from a holistic perspective. This master thesis studies how Swedish companies’ view cross-functional cooperation, the competitive advantages with cross-functional cooperation and examine the prerequisites to achieve well-functioning cross-functional cooperation. Cross-functional c
Introduction: Born globals are increasingly prevalent and very successful in doing business globally, which is quite remarkable when keeping in mind they operate with limited human and financial resources and international business experience. They have to utilise capabilities in a unique way in order to internationalise rapidly and successfully. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to gain insig
We live in a busy world, where the demand of ready-to-eat (RTE) salad products has increased rapidly in a relatively short time. Despite of being an easy and fast way to add more vegetables to the daily diet, RTE salads have a serious underlying risk and the amount of vegetable-derived foodborne disease outbreaks has been increasing. The aim of the present study is to protect plants against contam
Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is a profound environmental issue in Indonesia. Approximately 69% of Indonesian municipal waste is transported to landfill sites. These sites infuse surrounding ecosystems with toxic compounds, degrade land quality and lead to health and sanitation issues. These factors when combined with poor domestic waste treatment and increased flood susceptibility during
Hanteringen av rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsmål har stundtals varit komplicerad till följd av avsaknaden av uttryckliga kostnadsregler på området. På senare tid har kostnadsfrågorna behandlats genom flertalet rättsfall i förhållande till grundläggande fri- och rättigheter i allmänhet och bestämmelserna om en rättvis rättegång i synnerhet. Rättsläget klargjordes delvis genom HFD 2022 ref. 10 dThe law of litigation costs in Swedish administrative law cases has sometimes been complicated due to the lack of clear legal rules on the topic. In recent years the question of litigation costs has been examined in relation to fundamental rights and freedoms. The legal position was partly clarified in the case of HFD 2022 ref. 10 where the Court established a specific scheme for how claims for co
The ecosystems of the Baltic Sea are under severe pressure, threating the long-term prosperity of the region and human wellbeing. New marine management approaches need to be tested and developed. Valuation of ecosystem services in the process of ecosystem-based marine spatial planning in the Baltic Sea region could be useful in improving communication between stakeholders, as well as, the evaluati

The aim of this study is to examine the spillover effects of diversity in insect pollinated plants in the vicinity of semi-natural grasslands, if the biodiversity in plants is increased as a result of being close to pastures and if a local environmental support has an effect on its surroundings. As agricultural intensification reduces biodiversity and contributes to habitat degradation, studies on
During the year 2015 a large degree of attention was cast at the European asylum system, and especially the Dublin regulation, after an unusually large amount of asylum seekers managed to arrive to the EU. The Dublin regulation, which is the instrument that allocates responsibility for asylum seekers across the Member States in the EU, failed to uphold its own criteria and the asylum systems in ce
Vid utdömandet av påföljder i den svenska straffrätten utgår domstolarna ifrån brottslighetens straffvärde. De vanligaste faktorerna för nedsättning av straffvärdet är uttryckliga i lagtexten men domstolarna har även möjlighet att beakta andra grunder som de anser vara av vikt. Dessa grunder kan vidare användas för att utdöma straff som understiger straffskalan för det aktuella brottet. Denna uppWhen determining sanctions in Swedish criminal law, the courts assume penal value as the starting point. The most common factors used to reduce penal value is expressed through legislation, however the courts also hold the capacity to consider other elements of the case that they consider to be significant. These factors can further be used to rule below the established penalty scale for the offen
Personer som flyr förföljelse och dylikt gör det i många fall utan ID-handlingar eller andra nödvändiga dokument som kan stödja deras asylberättelse. På grund av detta präglas asylmål i regel av omfattande bevissvårigheter, vilket resulterar i att sökandens utsaga får central betydelse vid bevisvärderingen. Detta kan vara problematiskt då asylsökanden ofta möter hinder i asylprocessen som försvåraPeople fleeing persecution and other unpleasantries often do so without ID or other necessary documents to support their asylum story. Due to this, asylum cases are usually characterised by their extensive evidentiary difficulties, resulting in the applicant’s testimony being of central importance in the evidence assessment. This can be problematic as asylum seekers often face obstacles in the asy
