   Sammanfattning : Four interrelated studies on drug users in prison are presented within the framework of a proposed model for approaching the enhancement of health for persons that builds on an existential view of prisoners’ needs, as well as the risk management and “good lives” perspectives. Risk management is the major focus in current offender rehabilitation based on research on “what works,” which has shown that focusing treatment on risk factors termed “criminogenic needs,” such as impulsivity, poor family relations and drug abuse, reduces recidivism by 10-15 percentage points.

   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; model membranes; drug delivery; drug partitioning; antimicrobial peptides; nanocarriers; cryo-TEM; polymer-stabilized bilayer disks; Chemistry with specialization in Physical Chemistry; Kemi med inriktning mot fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : Polyethylene glycol-stabilized lipodisks have emerged as a novel type of lipid-based nanoparticles with high potential as both drug carriers and biomimetic membranes. In this thesis we assess both of these applications, and show how the properties of the lipodisks can be further developed and optimized. LÄS MER

   Författare :Rynaz Rabiee; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Amid increased prevalence globally of both cannabis use, and cannabis use disorder (CUD), changes of the legal status of use, as well as increased cannabis potency, it is important to increase the understanding about the health effects from using this psychoactive substance. Improved understanding will provide better prerequisites when shaping policies and healthcare systems targeting affected individuals. LÄS MER

The subjects were 128 heavy drug addicts, 37 women and 91 men, each of them selected for the fact of there being one basic drug he/she abused. LÄS MER
