Lifestyle modifications could be crucial in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including diet and postprandial glycaemic control. Previous studies on the effects of polar lipids (PLs) on postprandial metabolic responses at Lund University have shown conflicting results. To reconcile these findings and contribute to the existing literature, th
Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The
Swedish social services and healthcare systems have been bound by law since 2010 to collaborate when a client requires multiple interventions. This is called a Coordinated Individual Plan (CIP) to prevent clients from being overlooked by healthcare and social services. There has since been published several official reports that highlight the shortcomings of CIP. Our aim of this study was to exami
Egypt’s area is approximately 1.002 million km². However, the population and economic activity are concentrated along the banks of the Nile, where the urbanization rate is approximately 7.8%, while the rest of the land is considered desert. This population and spatial density has prompted both the public and private sectors to consider and seek solutions represented by building new urban communiti
Since ascending the French presidency in 2017, Emmanuel Macron has been faced with numerous foreign policy challenges. Two of his most puzzling challenges have been the relationships with Russia and the United States. Accordingly, the aim of this paper was to study the ways in which Macron rhetorically has navigated France vis-à-vis Russia 2017-2025 and the United States under Donald Trump, in lig
Denna uppsats ämnar till att kritiskt undersöka den föränderliga omfattningen och funktionen hos doktrinen om essentiella faciliteter (Essential Facilities Doctrine, EFD) under artikel 102 FEUF i ljuset av digitala marknader. EFD har traditionellt sett tillämpats enligt de strikta kriterier som fastställdes i Bronner-målet (C-7/97), särskilt kravet på oumbärlighet, och har fungerat som ett snävt uThis thesis critically examines the evolving scope and function of the Essential Facilities Doctrine (EFD) under Article 102 TFEU in the context of digital markets. Traditionally applied under the rigid criteria set out in Bronner (C-7/97), particularly the indispensability requirement, the EFD has served as a narrow exception to the general principle that dominant undertakings are not obliged to
This article examines community resilience through a case study of a community in Australia affected by bushfire in 2024. Drawing on 28 interviews with residents, we analyze preparedness practices and response decisions. In Victoria, Australia, where the community is situated, residents of fire-prone areas receive recommendations concerning preparedness and response from the Country Fire Authority
De senaste årtiondena har samhället i stort präglats av digitalisering. Så också detaljhandeln, med en växande betydelse av digitala plattformar där människor gör sina vardagsinköp via dator, till alltmer även via mobilen. Avgörande för om människor faktiskt kan genomföra sina köp i detaljhandeln är betalningar. Betalningar har liksom detaljhandeln också blivit mer digitala, med en stadig minskninThis dissertation explores how and why certain payment methods are used in retail.Payment methods have changed in their form throughout history, and rapidly so in recent decades. Surprisingly, the treatment of payment in retail research appears detached from its purpose of use; i.e. purchasing products and services.Payment has a role to play in the digitalisation of society and is part of shaping
The sea level low stand period during the Early Mesolithic in SE Baltic (c. 9,500-6,500 BC) has resulted in vast inundated areas. Some of the sites have yielded extensive remains of lagoonal and riverine sediments, as well as areas with trees preserved in situ. Investigations at one of the sites - Haväng in eastern Scania - have resulted in archaeological findings from the entire period. The prese
When the leading Roman magistrates of the Republic, and later on the Roman emperors, made official appearances in connection with important political and military events and functions, some urban locations in the cityscape became symbolically charged, in Rome especially Forum Romanum, Capitolium and the city gates. The ceremonial acting in front of the assembled public was dependent on measures ad
BACKGROUND: Cryptogenic stroke is a heterogeneous condition, with a wide spectrum of possible underlying causes for which the optimal secondary prevention may differ substantially. Attempting a correct etiological diagnosis to reduce the stroke recurrence should be the fundamental goal of modern stroke management.METHODS: Prospective observational international multicenter study of cryptogenic str
Lignin is one of the main components of plant cell walls, which provides mechanical support for plants and also contributes to resisting against plant pathogenic fungi. In the fruit industry, the lignin content can affect the quality of fruit. The biosynthesis of lignin involves a variety of enzymes, of which caffeoyl-CoA 3-O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) is a class of methyltransferases that plays
Live blogging from legal trials has become one of the most accessible ways in which the public can gain direct insight into legal proceedings, particularly in countries where television cameras are denied entry into the courtroom. Whilst live blogging constitutes an important way of ensuring the transparency and openness of legal processes and documents – a principle known as open justice and a ke
Active layer probing in northern Sweden, northeast Greenland, and central Svalbard indicates active layer thickening has occurred at Circumpolar Active Layer Monitoring (CALM) sites with long‐term, continuous observations, since the sites were established at these locations in 1978, 1996, and 2000, respectively. The study areas exhibit a reverse latitudinal gradient in average active layer thickne
Although reports of pharmaceutical bioconcentration in aquatic organisms are increasing, less is known about trophic transfer in aquatic food webs. The bioaccumulation and trophodynamics of sertraline and fluoxetine, 2 selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) frequently detected in aquatic environments, were tested by exposing constructed aquatic food chains to SSRIs under controlled labora
We report changes in gene and polar lipid expression induced by adenovirus-delivered wild-type (wt) p53 gene and chemotherapy of U87 MG glioblastoma cells, a treatment known to trigger apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Sulfatides (sulfonated glycolipids) were most highly modulated by wild-type p53 treatment; however, no changes were observed in expression levels of mRNA for genes involved in sulfat
Background The increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation and novel therapeutic tools to prevent cardioembolic stroke has increased the need for risk markers. Objectives This study explored the relationship between the midregional sequence of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) levels with the risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke, and whether measurement of MR-proANP improves the predic
OBJECTIVES: Although substantial reductions in under-5 mortality have been observed during the past 35 years, progress in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) has been uneven. This paper provides an overview of child mortality and morbidity in the EMR based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study.METHODS: We used GBD 2015 study results to explore under-5 mortality and morbidity in EMR countr
The tumour suppressor p53 is one of the most important cancer genes. Previous findings have shown that p53 expression can influence DNA adduct formation of the environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in human cells, indicating a role for p53 in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1-mediated biotransformation of BaP in vitro. We investigated the potential role of p53 in xenobiotic metabolism in vivo
