This thesis was written with the aims to better understand the spatial relation between the Scanian iron Age bog bodies and the archaeological remains within the surrounding landscape, which in turn would lead to a new theory of understanding the cultural and social aspects of the bog body phenomenon, specifically by applying the liminality perspective. This was done by approaching the material th

Bilismen ökade explosionsartat under det svenska 1900-talets mitt. För att möta bilens utökade ytkrav och den olycksvåg som drabbade Sverige skulle samhället moderniseras och rekonstrueras, och det fort. Föråldrade kvarter revs, nya förorter anlades med bilen i åtanke och motorvägar såg dagens ljus. Samtidigt integrerades bilen med näringslivet, skapande köpcentra och industrier. Den fysiska miljö

Background & aim: Preterm infants risk deficits of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) that may contribute to morbidities and hamper neurodevelopment. We aimed to determine longitudinal serum fatty acid profiles in preterm infants and how the profiles are affected by enteral and parenteral lipid sources. Methods: Cohort study analyzing fatty acid data from the Mega Donna Mega stud

BACKGROUND: Cut-points to define slow walking speed have largely been derived from expert opinion. METHODS: Study participants (13 589 men and 5043 women aged ≥65years) had walking speed (m/s) measured over 4-6 m (mean ± SD: 1.20 ± 0.27 m/s in men and 0.94 ± 0.24 m/s in women.) Mobility limitation was defined as any self-reported difficulty with walking approximately 1/4 mile (prevalence: 12.6% me

Mistletoes (Viscum) and close relatives are unique among flowering plants in having a drastically altered electron transport chain. Lack of complex I genes has previously been reported for the mitochondrial genome, and here we report an almost complete absence of nuclear-encoded complex I genes in the transcriptome of Viscum album. Compared to Arabidopsis with approximately 40 nuclear complex I ge

Background: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, including unhealthy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking, and nonadherence to dietary recommendations, are major contributors to non-communicable diseases and mortality. While adopting healthy behaviours can reduce these risks in middle-aged adults, research is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the distribution of unhea

Developmental language disorder (DLD) affects around 7.5 percent of students. The risks of DLD for reduced educational progress are well documented but teachers often do not feel adequately prepared to support this student group. This study aims to broaden the understanding of teachers’ experiences of working with students with DLD in Swedish mainstream secondary schools. Five focus group intervie

Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), syndecans and glypicans, play crucial roles in the functional properties of cancer cells, such as proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptor (PDGF-R) mediated signaling, on the other hand, is highly associated with cancer progression. Specifically, PDGF-Rα and PDGF-Rβ expressions documente

We present a novel method combining existing cosmological simulations and orbital integration to study the hierarchical assembly of globular cluster (GC) populations in the Milky Way (MW). Our method models the growth and evolution of GC populations across various galactic environments as well as the dynamical friction and mass loss experienced by these objects. This allowed us to follow the traje

Aims: Pain and poor health-related quality of life measures serve as the primary indication for primary elective total hip arthroplasty (THA). It remains challenging to predict whether THA delivers the patient-anticipated improvements. Our study aimed to develop and validate statistical and machine learning prediction models of one-year clinical improvement in patient-reported outcome measures (PR

Background: Oxytocin is released in response to a fatty meal. Blockage of the oxytocin receptor led to slower gastric emptying whereas stimulation resulted in less satiety in healthy volunteers. Patients with diabetes mellitus and gastroparesis lack oxytocin elevation, and dyspepsia is partly caused by reduced fundus accommodation causing early satiety and related symptoms. The aim of this study w

Objective: To study how patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) with previous or concomitant other primary cancers (OPCs) were treated, and to investigate their prognosis. Patients And Methods: Using nationwide population-based data in the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe), we analysed the probability of treatment with curative intent, and UBC-specific and overall survival (OS) in p

Aim: This cross-sectional study investigates the psychometric properties of the Swedish edition of the Adolescent Drug Abuse Diagnosis (ADAD), and specifically examines the internal consistency and construct validity of five life domains reported by female adolescents in special residential care in Sweden (N = 780; Mage = 16 years old). Methods: Principal component analysis and entropy-based analy

Aim: To assess growth plate fusion by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluate the correlation with sex, age, pubertal development, physical activity and BMI. Methods: Wrist, knee and ankle of 958 healthy subjects aged 14.0-21.5 years old were examined using MRI and graded by two radiologists. Correlations of growth plate fusion score with age, pubertal development, physical activity and BMI
