Maternal undernutrition can lead to protein-energy malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, or anemia during pregnancy or after birth. It remains a major problem, despite evidence-based maternal-nutrition interventions happening on ground. We conducted a scoping review to under-stand different strategies and delivery mechanisms to improve maternal nutrition, as well as how interventions have impr
BackgroundThis is the first nationwide segregation analysis that aimed to determine whether familial venous thromboembolism (VTE) is attributable to inheritance and/or shared environment, and the possible mode of inheritance.Methods and ResultsThe Swedish Multi‐Generation Register was linked to the Swedish patient register for the period 1964 to 2015. Three generational families of Swedish‐born in
The temporal dynamics of the spatial distribution of atomic hydrogen and oxygen in a lean methane-air flame, forced by a nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharge-induced plasma, are investigated via femtosecond two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence technique. Plasma luminescence that interferes with the fluorescence from H and O atoms was observed to decay completely within 15 ns, which
We previously reported that loss of mitochondrial transcription factor B1 (TFB1M) leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and is involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Whether defects in ribosomal processing impact mitochondrial function and could play a pathogenetic role in β-cells and T2D is not known. To this end, we explored expression and the functional role of dimethyladenosine tr
The skeletal responses to calcium depletion and repletion in rodents have been well characterized, but those in humans are poorly understood. The present study sought to evaluate the effects of short term dietary calcium depletion and repletion on biochemical markers of bone turnover in 15 young Caucasian women (age, 21-30 yr). The study contained 3 phases: 1) 5 days of a regular diet containing m
Background: The Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization ruling was monumental for sexual and reproductive health and rights in the United States. This shifted the legislative power over the right to an abortion from federal to state government. Missouri’s post- Roe legislation banned abortion statewide. Health care providers (HCPs) are facing unique facilitators and barriers t
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us
Product packaging has an impact on consumers' perception of the product and their purchasing decisions. In product packaging, colour is an important design factor. Therefore, this research paper will explore the impact of the colour of packaging on consumers' willingness to buy the product, as well as the consumers' perception of the products in the food industry.
One particular approach of behavioral economics has gained attention within environmental politics during the last decade. The idea of nudging (“gently pushing”) people in situations of decision-making towards the choice that in the long run is best for them as well as for the society and/or the environment seems to attract policy makers around the world. Many governments inside and outside the EU
This qualitative study explores whether antithesis, as a didactic rhetorical tool, may enhance the likelihood of understanding complex biology-related information. Research shows that students lack the ability of communicating expert knowledge to laymen since they do not understand subject matter well enough themselves due to scientific language. Hence, scientific language use should be studied in
This exploratory research intends to understand the driving forces within a regional innovation system (RIS), analysing the example of a rural area in Germany. It seeks to investigate how RIS help to create sustainable tourism products in rural areas. The theoretical framework focusses on the concepts of rural tourism, innovation and sustainability. Rural areas are often less developed than urban
Ett av de mest internationellt kritiserade besluten som Europeiska unionen tagit var då de 2008 beslutade att inkludera alla flyg till och från EU i Europeiska unionens handel med utsläppsrätter (EU ETS). Med betydelsen att flygbolagen skulle bli tvungna att handla med utsläppsrätter inte bara gällande de utsläpp som skedde inom Europeiska unionens luftrum utan också utanför. Beslutet resulterade
A memorable journey to the North – A study of the travel experiences of Chinese tourists in Scandinavia With the increasing number of outbound Chinese tourists, tourism bureaus in Scandinavia are now exploring ways in understanding Chinese tourists as well as to prepare themselves to be more “China-Ready”. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research demonstrating the importance of memory objec
The CJEU recently enriched its case law concerning the concept of a single taxable person through its ruling in Skandia America. Established case law differentiate two concepts of single taxable person. According to FCE Bank, a head office and its branch are to be deemed as one single taxable person, with the result that no taxable supplies occur between these entities. In Ampliscientifica, the CJ
Tracking activities have lately been very popular in smartphones, which requires that the devices are able to classify activities correctly. Since this type of devices has limitations in both power consumption and computational performance, it is important to keep these factors to a minimum. Therefore, the low cost of the accelerometer sensor is a good platform to build a classification on. Althou
The use of spatial information has become an important resource for decision support making at national and regional levels. In this respect, several private and public organizations are continuously collecting and producing geospatial data. However, there are still problems that affect the usage of spatial information. As a response to these problems, several spatial data sharing initiatives have
