A key policy question is whether continued expansion of university education is beneficial for the marginally eligible student. In this paper we exploit an arbitrary university eligibility rule combined with regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of university attendance on healthcare utilization amongst young adults in Sweden. We find that the eligibility rule leads to a cl
Concerns have been raised regarding a potentially increased risk of cancer associated with treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists. Here, we explored whether fasting and oral glucose tolerance test post-challenge glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and GLP-1 levels were associated with incident first cancer. Within the cardiovascular re-examination arm of the po
Background: A palliative cancer diagnosis in a parent has a major impact on many aspects of their children’s lives. Studies show that professionals in the oncological field do not seem to offer relatives, in general, much attention. Aim: to explore how doctors and social workers handle children of cancer patients in order to understand the possibilities and difficulties in supporting children in s
This chapter focuses on taxation in Africa since 1900. Using existing data and insights from the literature, the chapter documents taxes collected by colonial and post-colonial states, exploring what was taxed, the types of taxes, the tax revenue patterns and the socio-political contexts shaping taxation policies. It begins by discussing the fundamental principles of taxation and forms of direct a
Popular Abstract in Swedish SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA (Swedish summary) Ultraljud används sedan 1970-talet rutinmässigt under graviditet. Undersökningen görs vanligen vid 17-18 graviditetsveckor och syftet med undersökningen är att datera graviditeten dvs bestämma tiden för beräknad förlossning. Man upptäcker också eventuella tvillingar vid denna undersökning. Redan tidigt visade det sig att visWe studied the prenatal detection rate of various malformations during a study period of 16 years in a population in southern Sweden consisting of 141 240 deliveries. The overall detection rate was 28.4% and the false positive diagnoses were very few. We studied the effect of prenatal diagnosis on the rate of spina bifida in southern Sweden compared with the rest of the country and could show tha
Before curation, there is collection. Before visitors engage with objects in an exhibition, collection managers engage with the objects and, in some cases, also the donors. It makes sense that especially when difficult pasts are involved, collection managers have affective encounters with the materiality before visitors do. So why has the affective turn focused mainly on engaging visitors’ emotion
Objective Half of all adult emergency department (ED) visits with a complaint of dyspnea involve acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), or pneumonia, which are often misdiagnosed. We aimed to create an artificial intelligence (AI) diagnostic decision support tool to detect patients with AHF, eCOPD, and pneumonia among dyspneic adults at the beginn
Children born to occupying soldiers during or after conflicts are in many ways an extraordinarily vulnerable population. These so-called children born of war (CBOW) commonly inherit the stigma of transgression and foreignness from their respective parents and face discrimination in post-conflict societies. Their specific vulnerabilities, though, emerge from multiple overlapping factors: the needs
Background: Spirometry reference values differ by race/ethnicity, which is controversial. We evaluated the effect of race-specific references on prevalence of lung function impairment and its relation to breathlessness and mortality in the US population. Methods: Population-based analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007–2012. Race/ethnicity was analyzed as bla
Abstract: Pagan revivalism is a growing trend in the contemporary religious landscape. Is it possible to be a neopagan without disregarding the demands of reason? While outright belief in the old gods seems out of the question, I argue that polytheism represents a live epistemic possibility, and that non-doxastic paganism is therefore a viable option. However, the rational, non-doxastic neopagan s
The role of consumers in a circular economy (CE) is crucial but not well understood in the literature. For consumers to become catalysts in a CE, people need to understand how and under what conditions circular consumption is made possible. This chapter conceptualises the sociomaterial assembling of circular consumption, which refers to the process in which heterogeneous elements – meanings, mater
