BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency worldwide, negatively affecting quality of life and health. Young women are at particularly high risk due to increased iron demands during growth, menstrual blood losses, and dietary habits. There are no official guidelines recommending screening for iron deficiency in healthy young women. This study aimed to develop a screeni
Extreme weather events pose significant threats to urban health in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where there are systemic health challenges. This paper investigates health system vulnerabilities associated with flooding and extreme heat, along with strategies for resilience building by service providers and community members, in Accra and Tamale, Ghana. We em
The Amazon is rapidly approaching an ecological tipping point driven by deforestation, forest degradation and global climate change. These are visible issues that receive increasing political and public attention.However, the accelerating biocultural loss in the Amazon, including the extinction of Indigenous languages, the disruption of Indigenous and local knowledge systems, and the disintegratio
INTRODUCTION: Autoantibodies against insulin (IAA) are early appearing markers of autoimmunity against the pancreatic islet beta cells and predict progression to type 1 diabetes if additional islet autoantibodies also develop. It is still controversial if proinsulin rather than insulin is the primary autoantibody.METHODS: The aim of the present study was to compare the half-maximal concentration (
Sensory traits shape animal lifestyles due to the central role they play in retrieving and processing environmental information. However, being some of the most energetically expensive tissues to build and maintain, ecological demands often modulate investment in these organs. Evidence that ecology shapes the evolution of sensory traits is plenty, but is heavily biased towards vertebrates and has
Both high-mountain rivers and wet-based mountain glaciers are considered effective erosion agents. They acted alternatively or simultaneously during the late Quaternary in the Tatra Mountains (West Carpathians) thus producing a vast amount of clastic material that was subject to deposition, reworking and transportation downstream. A small fraction of that amount of the material is still preserved
Machado-Joseph disease (MJD/SCA3) is the most frequent dominant ataxia worldwide. It is caused by a (CAG)n expansion. MJD has two major ancestral backgrounds: the Machado lineage, found mainly in Portuguese families; and the Joseph lineage, present in all five continents, probably originating in Asia. MJD has been described in a few African and African-American families, but here we report the fir
Objective: The aim was to investigate associations between dental healthcare utilization and all-cause, cardiovascular (CVD), cancer, and other-cause mortality. Materials and methods: A postal public health survey was distributed in the autumn of 2008 to a strat-ified random sample of the population aged 18–80 in Scania, southern Sweden (response rate 54.1%). Baseline survey data were linked to mo
This master’s thesis maps and compares local literary networks within UNESCO’s Cities of Literature, with the aim of understanding how such networks are structured, what their functions are and how they are controlled and developed. Drawing on concepts from social network analysis and Bourdieu’s theories of social fields, capital and habitus, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods
As Climate Change increases the frequency and severity of wildfires in British Columbia, communities at the Wildland Urban Interface face escalating risks. This thesis explores the challenges and opportunities of community engagement in wildfire management in the city of Kamloops, one of the most fire-prone urban areas in British Columbia. Employing a single-case study design, the research is base
Thioflavin T (ThT) is widely used as a fluorescent probe for amyloid fibrils, yet its fluorescence can also be enhanced in non-fibrillar systems. Here, the photophysical behaviour of ThT was investigated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sucrose laurate (SL), sodium caprate (C10), and lanreotide-containing assemblies across acetate (pH 4.0), phosphate (pH 7.4), and Gly-Gly (pH 8.5) buffers using UV
Perceived stigmatization places a large psychosocial burden on patients with some skin conditions. Little is known about the experience of stigmatization across a wide range of skin diseases. This observational cross-sectional study aimed to quantify perceived stigmatization and identify its predictors among patients with a broad spectrum of skin diseases across 17 European countries. Self-report
Background: Hypertension and smoking are well-known risk factors for aortic dissection (AD), but it is unclear whether other lifestyle factors influence the risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diet quality, physical activity, and risk of AD. Methods: The study included 28,094 participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, recruited between 1991 and 1996 and f
Introduction: This study focuses on the quantitative analysis of minerals in gummy supplements Background: The content of minerals in gummy supplements can be challenging to measure due to the complex organic matrix that includes, among other ingredients, sugar, glucose syrup, and pectin. Aim(s): The aim of this research project was to validate a method for quantifying Zn, Mg, and Fe in gummy sup
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates
