Our presentation builds on a research project on the emergence of medical genetics and genetic counselling in Sweden 1940-1980. During our study, we have been able to track some aspects of biological, or eugenic, citizenship throughout this period.In Sweden, a rudimentary form of genetic counselling can be tracked within the context of state-controlled eugenics, namely in some applications of the Our presentation builds on a research project on the emergence of medical genetics and genetic counselling in Sweden 1940-1980.

Pilot-scale tests were run with ozonation for reduction of 24 pharmaceuticals at 10 full-scale wastewater treatment plants in southern Sweden. Reduction was evaluated based on doses of 3, 5 and 7 g O3/m3 at all plants. The reduction of pharmaceuticals reached on average 65% at 3 g O3/m3, 78% at 5 g O3/m3 and 88% for 7 g O3/m3 in terms of total concentration of pharmaceuticals. Specific ozone dose

Knowing and Seeing the Combatant investigates how does the US counterinsurgent forces make distinction between civilians and combatants during targeting practices?

This study delineates the permissible scope for compulsory mental health interventions under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It was initially triggered by two competing positions within the current debate over the future of coercive psychiatry; a practice that is still omnipresent among states worldwide. According to one position, defended by the CRPD Committee amThis study delineates the permissible scope for compulsory mental health interventions under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

Important factors behind high levels of vulnerability and low adaptive capacity to climate variability and change in the developing world are direct reliance on natural resources, poverty and limited abilities to adapt financially and institutionally. In this study, focusing on the Lake Victoria Basin, a multitude of stressors on livelihoods, including climate related factors, are faced by the rur

There are many applications of microprocessors in embedded applications, where power efficiency becomes a critical requirement, e.g. wearable or mobile devices in healthcare, space instrumentation and handheld devices. One of the methods of achieving low power operation is by simplifying the device architecture. RISC/CISC processors consume considerable power because of their complexity, which is

Civil conscription was a way to supply personnel for the civilian part of Swedish total defence. In 2010, the Swedish government chose to replace civil conscription with voluntary service. However in 2023, 13 years after the decision, it seems as reactivation is underway as the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) has been tasked to prepare for the activation of civil conscription for municipa

As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ

Purpose: The main objective of this thesis is to examine the effect different drivers of agency costs have on corporate cash holdings in public and private German technology firms. The analysis identifies three potential sources of agency costs. By determining target cash levels first and then obtaining deviations from these targets, the influences of agency costs are measurable. Data Set: The sam

Statistics show that approximately 2,71 billion people have at some point shopped for clothes online (Sellers Commerce, 2022). E-commerce is becoming more and more common rather than to buy and try on clothes in a physical store which has led to many clothes being returned for various reasons (poor fit, free returns, etc.). The fast fashion industry generates significant textile waste, with unsold

Original/Value: This paper contributes to the narrow body of research on a complex phenomenon: brand activism and customers’ perception. It presents a new framework for analysing the relationship between the brand vision and brand image. Furthermore, it compares and contrasts the brand activism of two different fashion companies.

Background: Diabetes is associated with systemic complications. Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy, and retinopathy, in type 1 diabetes is declining but it is not known if this is true also for diabetic neuropathy.Aim: To investigate the relationship between large fiber diabetic neuropathy and other diabetic complications.Materials and methods: Neuropathy, defined here as large fiber neuropathy, w
