Toxicological testing in mice was conducted on PM2.5 particles from stressed burning of two types of candles (white and blue) and on PM2.5 collected indoor and outdoor of fifteen occupied homes in southern Sweden. As an indicator of toxicity, the ability to generate Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) was also assessed for all pooled samples: candle white, candle blue, indoor, and outdoor. Higher toxici

High levels of economic inequality are widely viewed as a key challenge facing bothadvanced industrial and developing economies. Country-level studies have consistentlyshown a negative link between income inequality and trust in others. This is typicallyattributed to greater social distance within unequal societies. Do we observe similarrelationships within organisations? This is an important ques

Understanding predictors of climate policy support is important for tackling climate change. Previous research demonstrated that policy support is partially driven by cultural worldviews. Yet, treating policies as a homogeneous concept, this literature neglected the existence of different policy types. Making this distinction is important because each type implies a distinct solution to the same p

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by coexisting risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Diet is of importance in their aetiology, and gut microbiota (GM) may constitute a link between diet and metabolic health. Understanding the interplay between diet and GM could contribute novel insights for future dietary guidelines, and aid in preventive actions to mot

Ett offentligt erbjudande till aktieägarna i ett noterat bolag, om att överlåta samtliga eller en del av aktierna i bolaget, kallas för ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande. I Sverige är de flesta buden förhandlade redan innan ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande påbörjas. Det förekommer dock att bud riktas mot målbolag där budet inte är förankrat hos målbolagsstyrelsen. Vid ett så kallat fientligt bud reA public bid to the shareholders of a listed company, to transfer all or a part of the company’s shares, is called a takeover bid. In Sweden, most bids are negotiated before a takeover bid is initiated. However, bids are sometimes made against target companies where the bid is not supported by the target company’s board of directors. In the event of a so-called hostile takeover bid, the target com

I detta examensarbete undersöks rättsverkningarna av förköpsförbehåll enligt aktiebolagslagen, med fokus på de praktiska och juridiska konsekvenserna av att sådana förbehåll överträds. Arbetet behandlar om och hur förköpsförbehåll kan åsidosättas, särskilt genom avtalsrättsliga mekanismer, och analyserar huruvida gällande rätt möjliggör avtalsrättsliga lösningar med aktiebolagsrättslig verkan. VidIn this thesis the legal effects of pre-emption clauses under the Swedish Companies Act are examined, focusing on the practical and legal implications of breaches of such clauses. It explores whether pre-emption clauses can be disregarded, particularly through contractual mechanisms, and evaluates whether current law allows contractual solutions to have binding corporate law effects. The thesis al

A short review is given of current literature on medical alternatives for managing neurogenic bladder (NGB) by treating detrusor overactivity (NDO) and improving bladder compliance and urinary incontinence. The first goal of treatment of NGB is to protect the upper tract from damage, and the second is to maintain urinary continence, but all the while maintaining the patient’s quality of life. The

The aims of this paper are to show (i) that thirteenth-century Aristotelian logic (AL-13) is a logical tradition that considers Aristotelian logic (AL: the logical curriculum at the University of Paris, that is, Porphyry’s Isagoge, Aristotle’s Organon, Boethius’s De divisione and De topicis differentiis, and the anonymous Sex principia) as a system that is organized around the syllogistic argument

This perspective highlights the role of new-generation analytical techniques in future applications in environmental sciences since the shift to the One Health research paradigm. It reviews the interactions between the compartments of One Health and indicates the current challenges in traditional environmental research. The term One Health was first used at the beginning of the 20th century, yet m

Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a rare but dreaded complication of thyroid surgery. Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM) is a technology intended to assist surgeons in identifying the RLN and confirming its function. This chapter describes the technology and technique of IONM, with tips for utilization and interpretation of results. A review of the existing literature on the res

Importance: Studies have suggested an increased risk of psychiatric disorders and suicidal behavior among individuals who have undergone tonsillectomy. However, little is known about stress-related disorders. Objective: To investigate whether surgical removal of tonsils or adenoids is associated with a subsequent risk of stress-related disorders.
