A recent population-based, longitudinal study from Finland observed a dose-response association between smoking during pregnancy (SDP) and use of psychotropic medications in exposed children and young adults. However, this association may be confounded by unmeasured familial characteristics related to both SDP and offspring mental health. Consequently, we aim to investigate the effect of SDP by me

Background: Within Europe many guidelines exist regarding the genetic testing of minors. Predictive and presymptomatic genetic testing of minors is recommended for disorders for which medical intervention/preventive measures exist, and for which early detection improves future medical health. Aim: This study, which is part of the larger 5th EU-framework "genetic education'' (GenEd) study, aimed to

Nitrogen (N) fixation in the feather moss-cyanobacteria association represents a major N source in boreal forests which experience low levels of N deposition; however, little is known about the effects of anthropogenic N inputs on the rate of fixation of atmospheric N-2 in mosses and the succeeding effects on soil nutrient concentrations and microbial community composition. We collected soil sampl

BackgroundFood habits, nutrient needs and intakes differ between males and females, although few nutritional studies on patients with coeliac disease (CD) have reported results stratified by gender. ObjectivesTo compare energy and nutrient intakes among 13-year olds diagnosed with CD in early childhood with those of a non-coeliac (NC) age- and gender-matched control group, and also with estimated

Previous research on human fear of large carnivores has mainly been based on self-reports in which individual survey items and the objects of fear are measured, so whether a person fears attacks on humans or livestock and pets has not been identified. The objectives of this study were to differentiate between the objects of fear as well as capturing attitudes towards implementation of management a

Background and aim Genetic factors play a role in susceptibility to subarachnoid haemorrhage, but little is known about which genes are involved. Recently, genome wide association studies have identified the 9p21 region as a risk locus for intracranial aneurysms (IA). The aim of the present study was to examine the possible association between 9p21 and ruptured IA-that is, aneurysmal subarachnoid

OBJECTIVE-Young children have an unacceptably high prevalence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the clinical diagnosis of type I. diabetes. The aim of this study was to determine whether knowledge of genetic risk and close follow-up for development of islet autoantibodies through participation in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study results in lower prevalence of D

Background: Non-concordance with medication remains a major public health problem that imposes a considerable financial burden on the health care system, and there is still a need for studies on correlates of non-concordance. Our first aim is to analyse whether any of the individual characteristics age, educational level, financial strain, self-rated health, social participation, and trust in the

Studien syftade till att undersöka om en speciellt utformad kognitiv beteendeterapi med familjestöd, som konstruerats för barn och ungdomar med tvångssyndrom inom barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin i Lund, effektivt minskade barnens symtom. Dessutom undersöktes hur följande variabler påverkade behandlingen: föräldraanpassning, komorbiditet, medicinering, väntetid, ålder och kön, samt om deltagarna sökte

Energy prices are increasing at a high rate, eating away at the municipalities’ operating budgets. With every energy efficiency investment opportunity that is bypassed, tax money is wasted. An investment in new street lighting technology presents financial, environmental and social benefits, yet few municipalities are replacing their lighting installations with more energy efficient technology. It

Denna uppsats undersöker hur de svenska vägarna kommer att påverkas om klimatscenariona slår in och hur klimatförändringarna påverkar vägarnas sårbarhet. Uppsatsen svarar på frågorna om vilka klimatfaktorer som påverkar vägarna, hur vägbyggen ska anpassas till klimatförändringarna samt hur man kan förebygga skador på de befintliga vägarna som orsakas av klimatförändringarna.
