The purpose of this study is to investigate how femvertising, in specific advertising which aims to encourage female empowerment, is perceived by two generations of women and if it affects their attitudes toward an ad. The study is a replication of the previous study Advertising “like a girl”: Toward a better understanding of “femvertising” and its effects presented by Åkestam, Rosengren and Dahlé
Läkemedelstransportering med lipidnanopartiklar (LNP), särskilt svampfas lipidnanopartiklar, har varit intressanta på grund av dess möjlighet att inkapsla läkemedel och överföra läkemedlet genom cellmembranet. Svampfas LNP formuleringen kan påverkas av lipidens molekylära struktur, temperaturen, pH-värdet, utspädningen, bufferten och existerandet av en stabilisator. Projektets syfte var att ersättDrug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. This project aimed
Den här studien ämnade att undersöka huruvida olika musikgenrer; blues , klassisk musik och rockmusik, samt utan musik (kontrollgrupp), påverkar prestation i matematik. 52 personer deltog i studien och de blev alla tilldelade en av de fyra musikgenrerna genom en mellangruppsdesign. Studien bestod av två test. Första testet var ett standardiserat matematiktest bestående av 12 frågor (refereras tillThis study aims to investigate how listening to different music genres; blues, classical, and rock, as well as no music (control condition), affects mathematical performance. 52 individuals participated in the study and all were assigned to one out of the four music conditions using a between-subject design. The study includes two tests. The first test was a 12 question standardized mathematics te
Individuals with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) face an increased risk for severe COVID-19. This study from Sweden, a country that only had a few mandatory restrictions at the onset of the pandemic, used 10 nationwide registers to compare the risks for severe COVID-19 outcomes of polymerase chain reaction-verified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections through
ADAR1 as a Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men. While early-stage prostate cancer can be managed effectively, once it spreads, treatment options are limited and usually not curative. Immunotherapy, which boosts the immune system to fight cancer, has been effective in some cancer types but not in
Visual ecology, the study of how animals acquire and respond to visual information in nature, has grown rapidly over the past few decades. Research in this field has transformed our understanding of fundamental processes, such as the neurobiological basis of behavior and the diversification of species through sensory drive. The recent growth in the field has been accompanied by leaps in our unders
Background: Asthma with low levels of type 2 (T2) biomarkers is poorly understood. Objective: To characterize severe asthma phenotypes and compare changes in asthma outcomes from pre- to postbiologic treatment along a gradient of T2 involvement. Methods: This was a registry-based cohort study including data from 24 countries. Biomarker distribution (blood eosinophil count, fractional exhaled nitri
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common among people with HIV (PWH), although studies comparing T2DM-related complications in people with and without HIV (PWoH) remain limited. This was assessed using data from the Cohort Study on Morbidity and HIV in Sweden (COSMOHS).METHOD: Nationwide study including Swedish residents born 1930-2006, diagnosed with T2DM between 2010 and 2019, follo
Background and aims: We examined whether the excess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk among adults with steatotic liver disease (SLD) subtypes could be reduced or eliminated through joint control of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). Methods and results: This prospective cohort study included 291,995 participants f
AIM: To assess the results of a urinary diversion in patients who already have a colostomy or simultaneously require a (rectum) colon resection. The diversion is created from the distal part of the transected colon with a simultaneously created new colostomy contra-laterally (if necessary). This procedure is known in our institute as the 'colon shuffle'.MATERIALS AND METHODS: All patients who unde
PURPOSE: Primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and peri-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) is the only curative option for patients with colorectal cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). A significant proportion of patients develop peritoneal recurrence. Outcomes of patients undergoing secondary CRS and PIC for recurrent PC were examined.METHODS: All patients undergoing second procedures w
The effect of molecular weight and temperature on the phase transition and internal structure of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) brush modified colloidal silica particles was investigated using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) between 15 and 45 °C. Dry particle analysis utilising transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT
Flat plate solar collectors (FPSCs) are the most often used as solar collectors due to their easiness of installation and usage. The current research investigates the energy efficiency of FPSC using different mass concentration with varied base fluids containing Graphene nanofluids (T-Gr). Mass concentration of 0.1%-wt., 0.075%-wt., 0.050%-wt. and 0.025%-wt. were mixed with ethylene glycol (EG) an
BACKGROUND: The ABC-stroke score is a risk scheme for prediction of stroke or systemic embolism (SE) in atrial fibrillation (AF). This study sought to examine whether the score could be useful in predicting stroke in AF-naïve individuals and risk stratifying for AF screening. METHODS AND RESULTS: The LOOP (Atrial Fibrillation Detected by Continuous ECG Monitoring Using Implantable Loop Recorder to
Violence against women (VAW), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence, is a major public health issue, garnering more attention globally post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Health providers often represent the first point of contact for IPV victims. Thus, health systems and health providers must be equipped to address survivors’ physical, sexual and mental
BACKGROUND: The postoperative complication rate is 30-64% among patients undergoing muscle-invasive and recurrent high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer surgery. Preoperative risky alcohol use increases the risk. The aim was to evaluate the accuracy of markers for identifying preoperative risky alcohol.METHODS: Diagnostic test sub-study of a randomized controlled trial (STOP-OP trial), based
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Microbes are all pervasive in their distribution and influence on the functioning and well-being of humans, life in general and the planet. Microbially-based technologies contribute hugely to the supply of important goods and services we depend upon, such as the provision of food, medicines and clean water. They also offer mechanisms and strategies to mitigate and solve a wide r
