Changes to the contemporary food system, including meals and eating patterns, have occurred quickly. One such change over the past 30 years has been the increase of commercially produced foods aimed at food allergies and intolerances and ‘free from’ dieting. The gluten free diet has recently emerged as a popular diet trend in Western countries, outpacing its origins as a treatment for celiac disea
Jordan has one of the lowest available water supplies in the world; meanwhile Jordan has seen large increase in population and refugee’s fluxes, leading to an increase in water demand [1]. To address this unprecedented water scarcity, Jordan’s water must be used where its social and economic value is highest. Jordan must treat and reuse virtually every drop of water. It is expected to have more th
Capsazepine is known as a transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily 1 (TRPV1) antagonist that inhibits bronchoconstriction evoked in animals by TRPV1 agonists. In this study, effects of capsazepine and chemically related analogues, so called capsazepinoids, were examined in vitro on contractile effects in human small airway preparations. Repeated cycles with 1 h of LTD4-free physiol
This paper combines epidemiological data on musculoskeletal morbidity in 40 female and 15 male occupational groups (questionnaire data 3720 females, 1241 males, physical examination data 1762 females, 915 males) in order to calculate risk for neck and upper limb disorders in repetitive/constrained vs. varied/mobile work and further to compare prevalence among office, industrial and non-office/non-

This master’s thesis examines the museum as a commodity and the consequences that has on the Hallwyl museum. The museum is a former private palace built in 1893-1898 as the Stockholm home for Wilhelmina von Hallwyl (1844-1930) and her family. The palace was constructed with the intention to become a museum and she donated the house to the Swedish state. The museum opened in 1938 and is today incor
The indoor climate system, which serves a building with a proper indoor air quality and thermal comfort, has been predominantly designed based on the initial investment costs. A life cycle approach could improve both the economic and environmental performance since the energy use would decrease. Currently, there is a lack of knowledge, models and tools for determining the life cycle cost (LCC) for
BACKGROUND: The implementation of COVID-19 vaccination among older persons at nursing homes has lowered the infection-associated mortality considerably, but emerging virus variants and decline in vaccine-induced immunity over time necessitate examination of future booster dosing strategies. The overall aim of this study was to assess vaccine protection against COVID-19 mortality in relation to tim
BACKGROUND: Intellectual disability (ID) and schizophrenia are known to separately carry a high risk of comorbidity of mental health and physical conditions. However, the prevalence and risk of comorbidities among people diagnosed with concurrent ID and schizophrenia have to date not been studied.METHODS: From a cohort including all people in Skåne, Sweden, the following three groups were establis
In the plant-based beverage industry, a residue called okara, is generated in large quantities in the liquid-solid separation step. Despite the high nutritional value of okara from soy and oat beverages with respect to fiber and protein content, these residues are generally discarded or used as animal feed or compost. It would be more sustainable to utilize okara for human consumption, however, th
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of monogenic conditions underlying stroke are being identified. We explored the possibilities of increasing the diagnostic yield of monogenic stroke in a population under 56 years of age. METHODS: Fifty probands ≤55 years at their first stroke episode were characterized clinically and investigated by whole genome sequencing. Probands had one or more of: (1) one or
Soil pore space, considered the most complex biomaterial that exists, generates a complex environment, that gives rise to a wide variety of properties, such as microbial diversity and carbon storage. Soils contain, at the same time, the largest carbon reservoir on earth and an immense amount of nutrient-limited microbial biomass. The reason why this carbon is not consumed by soil microbes is attri
PURPOSE: Clinical relapse is the major threat for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) undergoing hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). Early detection of measurable residual disease (MRD) would enable preemptive treatment and potentially reduced relapse risk.METHODSPatients with MDS planned for HSCT were enrolled in a prospective, observational study evaluating the association b
Diabetes mellitus (DM) incidence have been assessed in connection with air pollution exposure in several studies; however, few have investigated associations with source-specific local emissions. This study aims to estimate the risk of DM incidence associated with source-specific air pollution in a Swedish cohort with relatively low exposure. Individuals in the Västerbotten intervention programme
Monitoring agricultural land with optical remote sensing offers a valuable tool for estimating crop yield and supporting decision-making for food security. Cropland phenology indicators, such as the start of season (SOS), the end of season (EOS), and the number of growing seasons per year, provide essential information for land managers. While established toolboxes like TIMESAT have been extractin
The Natural Resources Conservation Service Curve Number method (NRCS-CN) is the most widely used approach to estimate runoff from rainfall events. However, some uncertainties in the method remain linked to the value of the standard initial abstraction ratio (λ) and discrepancies between computed and standard tabulated Curve Number (CN) values. Here, we compute CN values and investigate the effects
Objective This study aims to investigate whether oral fluoroquinolone use is associated with an increased risk of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Design A nationwide cohort study based on linked healthcare register data encompassing patient characteristics, prescription data and cases of aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Setting Sweden, 2006–2018. Participants Study participants were a
Background and Objective: The number of reports on suspected drug-induced memory impairment submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration increased 30-fold from 2000 to 2022. Drugs are the most common cause of reversible dementia. However, there is very little research on drug-induced cognitive impairment. The aim of this study was to investigate if and how an assessment of cognitive safety was
Background: People with intellectual disabilities (ID) may be at higher risk of psychiatric disorders than the general population. However, few studies investigate the role of demographic factors.Methods: This register-based study includes all people living in Skåne, Sweden, on January 1st, 2014. The ID cohort comprises those who received support and service for people with functional impairments
Background: Medial plica is a structure with limited understanding of its pathology, but it may be related to the development of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). We examined the association between medial plica and medial meniscus extrusion (MME), progression of MME, and the risk of early-stage knee OA development in middle-aged persons. Methods: A total of 340 subjects with tibiofemoral Kellgren–
