Background: About one in ten adults are living with diabetes worldwide. Intake of carbohydrates and carbohydrate-rich foods are often identified as modifiable risk factors for incident type 2 diabetes. However, strong correlation between food variables can make it difficult to identify true associations. The purpose of this study was to identify clusters of carbohydrate-rich foods and analyse thei

Background and objectives: There has been an increased interest in education for the environment in early childhood, but little is known about how the education influence young children’s behaviour. Moreover, knowledge about education for the environment in different educational contexts is still limited. To adopt pro-environment behaviours, the children should be taught about caring for the envir

Denna avhandling fokuserar på svensk extraktivism i Sápmi/Norrbotten genom att studera den planerade järnmalmsgruvan i Gállok/Kallak och den gröna omställningen inom stålproduktionen. Huvudsyftet är att förstå tilltron till resursutvinning som ett sätt att nå en lycklig, grön, och god framtid. Med utgångspunkt i psykoanalys läser jag resursutvinning som ett begärsobjekt som människor söker sig til

Based on the physical and geographical conditions, the Baltic Region is categorised as a humid climate zone. This means that, there is usually more precipitation than evaporation throughout the year, suggesting that droughts should not occur frequently in this region. Despite the humid climate in the region, the study focused on assessing the spatio-temporal patterns of droughts. The drought event

Background: Pain is associated with falls, disability and a poor quality of life among older adults. It is highly prevalent in many societies, and studies have shown that pain could be preventable or managed more effectively at the population level. However, few studies have investigated who is at higher risk of pain in the general population, which is important for development of effective interv

CONTEXT: Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common chromosomal aberration in women; it is the result of structural or numeric abnormalities in the X chromosome. Autoimmune hypothyroidism has been recognized as one of the more prominent disorders associated with TS. OBJECTIVE: This work aimed to study the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in TS. METHODS: A cross-sectional, longitudinal, 25-year follo

The major driver of the climate and biodiversity crisis is our unsustainable production and consumption patterns, but the need to transition to a circular and resource- efficient economy has not been sufficiently addressed by policymakers. Policies supporting circular industrial transition are still rare, not the least in contrast with the recent momentum gained by green industrial policy in EU an

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Europe, with myocardial infarction (MI) being one of its most severe manifestations. While many risk factors for CVD are well known, occupational exposures remain relatively understudied—especially in analyses that adjust for co-occurring workplace exposures. This study aimed to examine the association between occupational exposure to c

Background: The Autism- Tics, ADHD and other Comorbidities inventory (A-TAC) has been validated in epidemiological data. However, validation against clinical diagnostic assessments in a population-based sample has been lacking, limiting the implications for clinical practice, clinical research and public health decisions. Methods: Study participants were recruited from the longitudinal Child and A

Ensuring high vaccination coverage is vital, particularly during a pandemic. While pre-booked appointment letters have shown promise in vaccination campaigns, their effectiveness in specific sociodemographic groups remains to be explored. Our study evaluated the effect of pre-booked appointment letters on COVID-19 vaccine uptake within different sociodemographic groups using a quasi-experimental m

Background and purposeHYPO-RT-PC was the first phase 3 trial showing the long-term efficacy and safety of extremely hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules (ultra-hypofractionation or stereotactic body radiotherapy) compared with standard radiotherapy in localised prostate cancer. We aimed to verify their safety in the context of a clinical trial, by comparing events of potentially radiotherapy-re

Aims/Hypothesis: Charcot foot (CF), a potentially debilitating complication of neuropathy, requires offloading to avoid foot deformities. Follow-up MRI examinations are often used to determine the optimal duration of total contact cast (TCC) offloading treatment. This study investigated the use of follow-up MRI during CF treatment and its relationship to offloading duration and risk of future surg

Humans have a propensity for rhythmicity, notably expressed in the domains of lan-guage and music. It is expressed through the abilities to produce and perceive rhyth-mic signals, as well as entrainment, which is the ability to synchronise movements inrelation to external rhythmic stimuli (e.g., dancing). However, it remains unclear asto how, why or when this rhythmic propensity evolved.A comparat
