BACKGROUND: Obesity is strongly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the heterogenous nature of obesity in CVD-risk is still poorly understood. We aimed to explore novel CVD biomarkers and their possible association with presumed unhealthy obesity, defined as hospitalized subjects with obesity (HO).METHODS: Ninety-two proteins associated with CVD were analyzed

The viability of wild bee populations and the pollination services that they provide are driven by the availability of food resources during their activity period and within the surroundings of their nesting sites. Changes in climate and land use influence the availability of these resources and are major threats to declining bee populations. Because wild bees may be vulnerable to interactions bet

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD). OSA that occurs predominantly during rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep has been identified as a specific phenotype (REM-predominant OSA) in sleep clinic cohorts. We aimed to examine the association of REM-predominant OSA with excessive sleepiness, functional outcomes, mood, and quality of life in a CAD cohort, of wh

Objectives: In patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating their first tumor necrosis factor alpha-inhibitor (TNFi), we aimed to identify common baseline predictors of Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS-CRP) inactive disease (primary objective) and clinically important improvement (CII) at 6 months, and drug retention at 12-months across 15 European registries. Metho

We report a novel approach for single-shot planar imaging of CH3 radicals in premixed methane and air flames. A 213 nm beam from the 5th harmonic of an Nd:YAG laser was resonantly absorbed by the CH3 radicals, which were excited to the highly pre-dissociative upper level and dissociated to H2 and CH (X), as the main dissociation channel. The CH radicals were consequently excited by a 388 nm beam f

Objective: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing worldwide problem and is considered to be one of the biggest threats to global health by the World Health Organization. Insights into the determinants of antibiotic prescribing may be gained by comparing the antibiotic usage patterns of Australia and Sweden. Design: Publicly available data on dispensed use of antibiotics in Australia and Sweden betw

Background and aim: Patient activation (PA) and Patient Involvement (PI) are considered elements in good survivorship. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a follow-up supported by electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) on PA and PI. Method: From February 2017 to January 2019, we conducted an explorative interventional study. We included 187 patients followed after intended curative complex sur

More complex understanding of relationality in care networks around patients with life-limiting illness and their significant others is needed. This is the case not only because care is distributed unequally along gendered lines, but also because of the changing landscape of care in welfare states where families and communities are made more self-responsible. This study examines everyday experienc

Konsekvenser av samexistens Ett försök att förklara hur två undergrupper av samma art fluga samexisterar när hybrider mellan grupperna visar försämrad överlevnadsförmåga. Uttrycker de olika karaktärer för att undvika ogynnsamma parningar? Det försökte jag ta reda på genom att mäta olika karaktärer hos flugan Tephritis conura och sedan jämföra grupper mot varandra. Hur biodiversitet skapas är tiEcological speciation, where adaptation to novel ecological niches results in the formation of new species, requires divergent selection and a form reproductive isolation that keep diverged populations separate. To avoid that sexual recombination breaks up favourable associations between ecological traits and reproductive isolation, coupling of these traits is required, either through pleiotropy o

Detta examensarbete är en studie som undersöker hur två av den danska Atlantvallens bunkrar skulle kunna genomgå en transformation och återanvändas. Bunkrarna har stått intakta sedan andra världskriget och ligger belägna längs det populära turistmålet Limfjorden på norra Jylland. Minnet om ockupation och krig har präglat bunkern sedan 1940-talet men att avlägsna bunkrarna från de danska stränderThis thesis investigates how to transform and re-purpose two of the bunkers along the Atlantic Wall in Denmark. The bunkers have been intact since World War II and are located along Limfjorden, which is a tourist destination in northern Jutland, Denmark. The memory of occupation and war has characterized the bunkers since the 1940s, but removing them from the Danish coast is both expensive and c

Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Är klimatforskningen skev? En central fråga är om vi kan lita på att vetenskapliga tidskrifter återger en rättvis bild av aktuella forskningsresultat? Dessutom bör vi fråga oss hur rapporteringen påverkas då betydande händelser sker inom vetenskapsvärlden. I november 2007 och senare 2009 skedde två viktiga företeelser inom klimatforskningen som potentiellt kanAbstract The declaration of a scientific consensus concerning anthropogenic causes for climate change by the IPCC in their fourth assessment report (AR4), published in 2007, initiated a heated debate. During this debate, experts within the IPCC were accused of selective reporting and the AR4 got strong source criticism by politicians, stakeholders and climate skeptics in general. The debate furth

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur åtalade kvinnor beskrivs i domar vid Lunds Tingsrätt, samt om dessa beskrivningar kan tänkas förklaras och motiveras med hjälp av kriminologiska teorier. En annan avsikt med uppsatsen var att efter sammanställningen av vårt analysmaterial föra en diskussion om rätten kan tänkas sända ut icke åsyftade verkningar till samhället rörande framställningen av

The state of the environment and human’s impact on the environment has been widely acknowledged and discussed over the past years. The EU realized there was a need for environmental regulations and laws in 1972 and in 1993 the environment became an official part of their politics. The aim of this paper has been to find out whether it is possible to both increase trade and at the same time decrease

Första gången lagstiftaren på allvar lyfte diskussionen om mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer var på 90-talet. Efter den omfattande utredningen Kvinnofrid infördes ett nytt brott, grov kvinnofridskränkning, som en av flera åtgärder för att motverka våldet. Våldet har trots det fortsatt, och utsatta kvinnor vittnar om att psykiskt våld är det som är svårast att hantera. Uppsatsen ämnar undersöThe first time the legislature seriously raised the issue of men’s violence against women in close relationships was in the 1990s. After an extensive investigation by the Swedish Government, a new crime, gross violence of a woman’s integrity, was introduced as one of several measures to counteract the violence. Despite the new crime, the violence has not stopped, and women who have been victims of

Purpose The EPHOR-NIGHT cohort was established to investigate how night shift work influences biological pathways and chronic disease risk using a comprehensive working-life exposome approach, focusing on cardiometabolic, mental health, cognitive and biological ageing outcomes. Participant The cohort includes 937 workers aged 20–65 years (88%female), primarily from the healthcare sector (96%) in S

Background: Escalating resistance among Gram-negative pathogens limits β-lactam options. Cefepime/enmetazobactam combines a fourth-generation cephalosporin with a class A β-lactamase inhibitor. We evaluated its activity against multidrug, extensive and pandrug-resistant war-wound isolates from Ukraine.Materials and methods: We tested 215 clinical samples (2022-2023) isolated from wounded patients
