This paper investigates the effects of working overtime on health. Overtime has previously been examined in this context mainly as a one-dimensional variable. This paper takes into account the multi-dimensional character of this factor. In addition to solely relating overtime to a health measure, this paper focuses discretely on the remuneration, the regularity, and the temporal extent of overtime
Bergslagen i centrala Sverige är känt för sina talrika mineraliseringar av olika typ. Denna studie fokuserar på en liten bandad järnmalm, från södra Dalarna, och dess associerade bergarter.

Rätten till utveckling antogs år 1986 och är idag en ”soft law” norm som syftar till att integrera mänskliga rättigheter och utveckling. Rättigheten har alltsedan den antogs varit en kontroversiell del i systemet om mänskliga rättigheter och har blivit hårt kritiserad på grund av dess vaga formulering. Även om den rådande uppfattningen fortfarande är att rätten till utveckling inte är avsedd för rThe Right to Development (RtD) was adopted in 1986 and is today a soft law norm that seeks to integrate human rights and development. Since its adoption the RtD has been surrounded by much controversy in the human rights framework and has been widely criticized for being too vague on its most basic concepts. Although the dominant view is still that the RtD is unsuitable for legal implementation, t
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kvävecykeln är betydelsefull i ett globalt perspektiv eftersom den inverkar både på klimatet och olika ekosystemsprocesser. Den kan med andra ord beskrivas som kvävets kretslopp som beskriver de kemiska, fysiologiska, biologiska och geologiska processerna som sker i naturen. Dikväveoxid är en stark växthusgas och inverkar på klimatet då den precis som koldioxid The nitrogen cycle is included in the biogeochemical cycles that connect all the organisms in one giant ecosystem, the biosphere. The nitrogen cycle is important both in a global perspective where the greenhouse gas N2O affects the climate and in a local perspective where it controls different processes in ecosystems. The availability of nutrients also have a great influence on all aquatic ecosyst

Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) is diagnosed using the Duke criteria, which were updated in 2023. In the Duke-ISCVID 2023 criteria, Gemella was recognised as a typical IE pathogen. This study investigates the impact of this change and compares the clinical characteristics of Gemella IE to IE caused by other pathogens. Methods: Data on IE caused by Gemella species and other pathogens was retri
Introduction: Little is known of the long-term prognosis of patients with acute ischaemic stroke in the absence of standard modifiable stroke risk factors (SMoRFs). In acute coronary syndromes, patients without modifiable risk factors have a higher mortality rate. We analysed data from the Swedish Stroke Register to determine survival of patients without SMoRFs following an ischaemic stroke. Patie
Background: Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) impairs the outcome of immediate breast reconstruction in patients with breast cancer, and the sentinel lymph node (SLN) status is crucial in evaluating the need for PMRT. The aim of this study was to develop and validate models to stratify the risk of clinically significant SLN macrometastases (macro-SLNMs) before surgery. Methods: Women diagnosed wi
To further understand the inter-relationship of the familial transmission of major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), we examine, via a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, risks for AUD and MD in 1,244,516 individuals born in Sweden from 1970 to 1990 to intact mother-father pairs as a function of parental diagnoses of MD and/or AUD. Across the nine possible mating types, we
