Background The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of contextual (social capital and administrative/neo-materialist) and individual factors on lack of access to a regular doctor. Methods The 2000 public health survey in Scania is a cross-sectional study. A total of 13,715 persons answered a postal questionnaire, which is 59% of the random sample. A multilevel logistic regression
A new fragrance mix (FM II), with 6 frequently used chemicals not present in the currently used fragrance mix (FM I), was evaluated in 6 dermatological centres in Europe, as previously reported. In this publication, test results with the individual constituents and after repeated open application test (ROAT) of FM II are described. Furthermore, cosmetic products which had caused a contact dermatit
Laboratory studies of scatter hoarding birds have become a model system for spatial memory studies. Considering that such birds are known to have a good spatial memory, recovery success in lab studies seems low. In parids (titmice and chickadees) typically ranging between 25 and 60% if five seeds are cached in 50-128 available caching sites. Since these birds store many thousands of food items in
Power spectrum analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) may provide insight into the mental state of the animal held in restricted specific experimental conditions. Determining inter-beat-interval (IBI) variations is one way to measure changes in autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity in horses. An imbalance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system can indicate pain or stress, f
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/AKT pathway is an integral component of signaling involved in the development of many cancers, including myeloid leukemias such as chronic myeloid leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Increased AKT1 activity is frequently seen in AML patients, providing leukemic cells with growth and survival promoting signals. An important aspect of AKT1 function is its inv
Introduction: Resting heart rate has been distinctly related to both internalizing (high pulse) and externalizing (low pulse) disorders. We aimed to explore the associations between resting heart rate and suicidal behavior (nonfatal suicide attempt [SA] and suicide death [SD]) and evaluate if such associations exist beyond the effects of internalizing/externalizing symptomatology. Method: We used
Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) is a young-onset, monogenic form of diabetes without needing insulin treatment. Diagnostic testing is expensive. To aid decisions on who to test, we aimed to develop a MODY probability calculator for paediatric cases at the time of diabetes diagnosis, when the existing “MODY calculator” cannot be used. Firth logistic regression models were developed on d
Fungal cells from Curvularia lunata were entrapped in a crosslinked polyacrylamide gel. The gel-cells obtained as granules were applied in the microbial transformation of Reichstein compound S leading to cortisol through an 11-β-hydroxylation step. Some kinetic studies of this conversion using gel-cells were carried out. In addition, it was shown that gel-cell gr
Background: The C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) seems to mirror disease severity and prognosis in several acute disorders particularly in elderly patients, yet less is known about if CAR is superior to C-reactive protein (CRP) in the general population. Methods: Prospective study design on the UK Biobank, where serum samples of CRP and Albumin were used. Cox regression analyses were conduct

Significant behavioral changes will need to be implemented to prevent the energy supply sector from tripling CO2 emissions by the midcentury. However, within the academic research, behavior changes remain primarily focused on the individual level, while the behavior of companies that are responsible for elevated greenhouse gas emissions falls behind. This master’s thesis analyses the core values
Recent research has noticed that the picture of the second-generation immigrants negotiating their identity in media space is different and far more complex than the first generation. With their emergence in the new age of digitalisation, the second-generation immigrant is offered more media choices and freedom of access to the two most important cultural sets of host and homeland country to make
Den teknologiska utvecklingen i samhället medför nya utmaningar i förhållande till mänskliga rättigheter. Individers beroende av internet och sociala medier utnyttjas i allt större utsträckning av aktörer som i hemlighet avser påverka den fria åsiktsbildningen. Statligt finansierad manipulation via digitala medier utgör ett särskilt oroande fenomen på grund av dess implikationer på åsiktsfrihet ocThe current digitalisation in society has brought new challenges to international human rights law. Actors aiming to covertly influence opinions are increasingly taking advantage of individuals’ dependence on the internet and social media. State-sponsored online manipulation constitutes a phenomenon of particular concern in light of its potential implications for the free forming of opinions and,
Syftet med denna studie är att få en bredare förståelse för de faktorer som påverkar valet av genretillhörighet bland saxofonister utifrån två breda genrekategorier: jazz/afroamerikansk musik och klassisk musik. Studiens fokus går att sammanfatta i följande frågeställningar: • När och hur brukar en saxofonist välja genretillhörighet, om det ens är ett aktivt val? • Finns det några korrelationer meThe purpose of this study is to get a broader understanding of the factors surrounding the choice of genre affiliations among saxophonists based on two primary umbrella terms: the jazz/black American music genre and the classical genre. The focus of the study can be boiled down to these research questions: • When and how does a saxophonist usually pick their genre affiliation, if it even is an ac
The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has dramatically declined through its entire distribution range since the 1900’s. Despite the increasing conservation measures implemented to protect the species, many populations are still endangered. The long-term objective of this research, realized in collaboration with Lund University and the Life Connects project, was to raise the succe
Recent years have seen digitalisation entangled in everyday life; with the broader context of a digitalised world, one can no longer see the digitalised retail space and its technological artefacts as a lone-standing phenomena. Instead, it is necessary to see digitalisation as way of understanding and being in the modern world. This paper explores the practices and subsequent meanings in the use o
This study maps the intersection of homelessness and migration in Europe by focusing on Italy and Sweden; in the study, ‘Europe’ is defined by the Schengen Common Area Agreement, by the Common European Asylum System and by the Dublin Regulation. Using Kimberlé Crenshaw’s Intersectionality as one of its main theoretical reference points, the study argues that different dimensions of power relations
Jag har analyserat huvud- och spårelementkoncentrationer i plagioklas från en norit-anortositintrusion, Älgön, Hakefjorden vid Sveriges västkust med syfte att fastställa intrusionens magmatiska ursprung, magmans utveckling och dess transport upp genom jordskorpan. Megakrister av plagioklas i anortositen har en homogen fördelning med avseende på huvud- och spårelement medan plagioklas-megakrister iMajor and trace element data taken from plagioclase crystals from anorthosites and related rock units in the Hakefjorden Complex located off the west coast of Sweden were investigated for the purposes of constraining magma chamber processes and the source of the magma. Although the anorthosite units were completely homogenous in regards to its chemistry, the plagioclase in the associated norite an
Overconfident behaviour among investors has been marked as a substantial problem on financial markets. Consequently, many modellers and researchers have discussed the attributes of an overconfident trader, and the implications related to measuring such attributes. Since overconfidence literature can be interpreted to indicate an expectation for a relationship between educational background and ove
