The two monoamines serotonin and melatonin have recently been highlighted as potent regulators of islet hormone secretion and overall glucose homeostasis in the body. In fact, dysregulated signaling of both amines are implicated in β-cell dysfunction and development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Serotonin is a key player in β-cell physiology and plays a role in expansion of β-cell mass. Mela
This chapter aims at analysing the inter-organisational networks emerging from interlocking leaders among the most resourceful, national-level civil society organisations (CSOs) in four European countries. By comparing four different country contexts, we analyse differences in the characteristics of networks, find different mechanisms that seem to structure organisational links across the cases, a
Paediatric prospective studies of coeliac disease with longitudinal collection of biological samples and clinical data offer a unique perspective on disease risk. This Review highlights the information now available from international paediatric prospective studies on genetic and environmental risk factors for coeliac disease. In addition, recent omics studies have made it possible to study comple
In Scandinavia, the loss of members in established (or formerly established) churches, the rise of unaffiliated, and diverse migration led to a need for new approaches to historically Christian spaces. To create all-inclusive spaces, the idea of neutrality has been adopted. Among others, burials, and cemeteries, which are still mostly run by the national churches, have been affected by this effort
The key message is the importance of a systemic approach to handling water and energy together, both in design and in oper-ation. The paper demonstrates how renewable energy, solar photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal, in combination with a small nutrient removal plant, provides a reliable solution for small-scale decentralized water recovery operations. The system is automated and can operate outs
One of the points on which researchers agree is the centrality of autonomy to professionalism. Moreover, a common conclusion in the studies of professions is that the profound changes in society over the last fifty years have threatened the autonomy and changed the archetype of professionalism. This paper contributes to the research on changes and continuities, challenges and opportunities for pro

Sex and social norms have always existed throughout human history, and are communicated through institutions such as schools, religion, and culture, making them an integral part of everyday life. However, this does not necessarily mean that we are aware of the different kinds of norms and sexuality. This study aims to explore the experiences of biology teachers in grades 7-9 who work in sexuality
This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of counselors working in healthcare towards the introduction of licensure requirements and a transitional period that was applied for obtaining the licensure. The study illustrated how the introduction of the requirement was perceived in terms of professional status/professional identity, professionalization, and work tasks. This study was based on pro
Vi alla har sett dem! Tomma hus som en gång varit trygga hem men som förvandlats till byggnader i förfall. Ofta ligger de på vackra platser, byggda med gedigna material och med lång och händelserik historia. Vi pratar såklart om alla övergivna hus som finns i Sverige. Hus som tappat sitt syfte men inte sin själ. Hus som skulle kunna ses som en resurs i den viktiga klimatomställningen och som en de
In this thesis we discuss a potential problem of negative correlation arising when using ordinary statistical methods on compositional data. We discuss a less known statistical method, compositional data analysis, that stands on the pillars of the works of John Aitchison from the 1980-s and Pawlowsky-Glahn, Egozcue and Delgado from the 2015. Using results from the 2022 national parliament election
