Objective: Women with active sunlight exposure habits experience a lower mortality rate than women who avoid sun exposure; however, they are at an increased risk of skin cancer. We aimed to explore the differences in main causes of death according to sun exposure. Methods: We assessed the differences in sun exposure as a risk factor for all-cause mortality in a competing risk scenario for 29 518 S

Carrier and prenatal diagnosis based on the identification of the gene defect (direct diagnosis) increases the proportion of haemophilia B families that can be offered precise genetic counselling from the 50-60% attainable by DNA markers, to 100%, and they also provide information on the molecular biology of the disease. We propose that in order to maximize the practical and scientific benefits of

Människor strävar ofta efter att uppvisa en positiv fasad, både på sociala medier och i verkliga livet. Att undertrycka sina känslor och tvinga sig själv att vara positiv är något som i populärkulturen benämns som “toxic positivity”. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sambandet mellan ett undertryckande av känslor (suppression), enligt Gross (2002) emotionsregleringsmodell, och välmående. Vi strPeople often strive to exhibit a positive facade, both on social media as well as in real life. To suppress one's feelings and force oneself to be positive is something which in popular culture is referred to as “toxic positivity”. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between suppression of feelings, or simply “suppression” according to the emotional regulation model formulate

The war in Ukraine in 2022 has caused environmental damages on different scales which come with their own challenges. One of the factors that can cause environmental damage is vegetation fire. As earlier studies have concluded, in conflict regions the amount of vegetation fires can increase due to (forced) migration, change in agriculture and warfare tactics. Not only conflict can change fire occu

Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene

This study aims to investigate how girls within SiS special residential homes for youths are constructed in Swedish news media. The study is based on the social constructivist perspective and Yvonne Hirdman's gender theory. The theory choices have been made to make visible how words in news media construct both gender and the overall image of girls within SiS special residential homes for yout

Peru grapples with severe water insecurity due to climate change and ecosystem degradation. In response, the government implemented the Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanism for Water Security (MERESE), employing Payment for Ecosystem Services to incentivize nature-based solutions. Central to MERESE are Good Governance Platforms, multi-stakeholder bodies overseeing implementation and ensuring

Buildings worldwide account for 30% of energy consumption and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) represent roughly 38% of a building’s consumption. Therefore, energy savings are crucial for sustainability. The complexity of buildings, with diverse physical domains and large-scale components, presents challenges to achieving energy-efficient operation. Implementing high-performance co

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being widely employed globally to enhance marine safety services and address challenges within the maritime sector. Nevertheless, the provision of these services in East Africa, particularly within the Lake Victoria basin, is deficient and inadequate. Consequently, a study needs to be undertaken to pinpoint certain domains in marine safety that may be

The terms “gender” and “sex” are central to feminist concerns. In English scholarship “gender” is disputed within and outside of feminism, despite its seemingly political correctness as an alternative to “sex” (Olson 2012; Gunnarsson 2011). This thesis aims to describe how “gender”, multi-word expressions with “gender”, and the derivative “gendered” are translated into Arabic target texts (TTs) by

Corporations and in particular large multinational enterprises are important for every countries economic growth. However, exploitation and human rights abuses due to corporate activity are repeatedly occurring in states that lacks the proper legislation, enforcement or institutions to ensure human rights protection. Thus, there is an increasing call for lead firms of MNEs to exercise human rights

Det finns ingen offentligrättsligt reglerad möjlighet att tvångsadoptera ett familjehemsplacerat barn i Sverige. Den mest ingripande åtgärden som offentliga myndigheter och organ kan vidta inom ramen för lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga är en vårdnadsöverflyttning från barnets biologiska föräldrar till familjehemsföräldrarna. I fråga om tvångsvård av barn är den civilrättslThere is no legal possibility to forcibly adopt a child who has been placed in a foster home in accordance with public law in Sweden. The most intru-sive measure that public authorities can take within the framework of The Care of Young Persons Act is a transfer of legal custody from the child's biological parents to the foster parents. The civil law regulation in the Pa-rental Code is intende

With rapid urbanization and an increasing share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions from cities, low-carbon urban transformations are critical for mitigating climate change. Local climate networks have been recognized for their potential to govern such activities. However, less is known about how such networks are implemented and managed as well as their capacity to accelerate transformative

This questionnaire survey was initiated to acquire information for prepration of a series of field studies. The paper deals with questions that were related to the thermal responses of the feet and footwear performance. The questionnaire was sent to a harbour, a telecommunication company and a customs office. At the harbour most of the workers used footwear with warm lining during winter. Half of

Kliniska fynd, C-peptidanalyser och öcellsantikroppar jämfördes med avseende på förmågan att särskilja typ 1 från typ 2 diabetes och faktorer som påverkade prognosen undersöktes.

Clinical findings, C-peptide protocols, and islet antibodies were compared in their ability to distinguish type 1 from type 2 diabetes, and factors associated with the prognosis of diabetes were explored. The incidence and the age at onset remained stable but the prevalence of diabetes increas
