BACKGROUND: The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed a globally environmentally sustainable dietary pattern featuring mainly plant-based foods in 2019. However, evidence on this dietary pattern in preventing coronary events is minimal.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine the association between the EAT-Lancet diet and risk of coronary events.METHODS: The Malmö Diet and Cancer cohort study (recruited between 1
Much has been written about the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI). This article is interested not only in what is known about these risks, but what remains unknown and how that unknowing is and should be approached. By reviewing and expanding on the scientific literature, it explores how social knowledge contributes to the understanding of AI and its regulatory challenges. The analysis i
Therapy is the often-used treatment for cancer patients, even those that undergo resection surgery. While milestones have been surpassed throughout the decades for a number of cancer types, there are those that comprise of characteristics limiting effectiveness of treatments. For these, such as some breast and pancreatic cancers, other pursuits must be explored to identify avenues for beneficial t
The Parkinson's disease (PD) home diary is frequently used in clinical trials to measure efficacy of medical treatments for motor fluctuations in advanced PD. This prospective study in fluctuating PD patients examines the validity of the diary for quantification of motor states in comparison to direct clinical observation. 51 patients (median age: 65 years, disease duration: 11 years) completed th
This chapter presents and discuss a platform for small-scale drug candidate production, process development and performance studies of integrated continuous downstream processes. The main idea of the platform methodology is to use common available equipment and reconfigure them for advanced downstream processing. Five different industrial case studies are discussed. The resulting processes are aut
How are bribes supposed to be given or taken? In this article, we study how individuals from countries with low tolerance of corruption learn, teach others and present themselves as knowledgeable about the etiquette of bribes. This involves the social practices of everyday corruption and petty bribes when working as ’strangers’ in countries where such exchanges are more common. Previous interviews
The essay examines three literary memoirs of illness (Giving up the Ghost (2003), Love’s Work (1995) and Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch (1998)) and their location in the recent development of illness narratives in anglophone culture. I showcase within a phenomenological framework how the three books defamiliarize the critical moment of diagnosis, reject readers’ sympathy and invite readers to broa
Land-use change is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Through intensification of land-use, the agricultural landscape has become more homogenous and a result, many species associated with traditional farmland or other semi-natural open habitats have declined. To be able to improve biodiversity conservation we need to be able to track components of biodiversity and understand how they res
Observed population of giant planets around evolved stars shows a paucity of planets with semi-major axes below 0.5 au, in contrast to main sequence stars where those planets are present. This lack of close-in planets has been attributed to either planet engulfment due to tidal forces or substantially higher masses of evolved host stars implying dierent initial semi-major axis distributions, becau
Abstract Introduction: A great decline of wild pollinators has been observed, the decline is believed to be a result of many stressors, whereas pesticide usage being one of them. Wild pollinator insects are significantly important to maintain and preserve food production and biodiversity. Background: Pesticides are used to protect and enhance crop yield, by targeting insect and fungi pests. Imid
Change is the only constant; yet, as we step into the brave new world of taxing the digital economy, it might seem like the need and development of principles and rules for adequate profit allocation has only begun. This thesis discusses the profit allocation rules under the Unified Approach of the OECD Pillar One Proposal Amount A in relation to three identified principles of law in international
