Abstract:Background Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is one of the most common childhood autoimmune diseases, with rising incidence worldwide with a male predominance. The etiology behind the disease is mostly unknown and it is essential to understand the factors that impact its development to prevent the disease and personalize the treatment. This thesis aims to examine sex-specific differences in T1D, expl

Music therapy is a “vocally demanding profession” [1, p. 46]. Currently, little is known about the prevalence and about the possible risk factors for voice disorders within music therapy. As music therapy workspaces may not always be ideal in terms of acoustics, the aim of the study is to investigate room acoustics and noise as risk factors for possible voice disorders among music therapists in Fi

In this chapter, we argue that policy-making aiming to achieve environmentally sustainable transitions of the economy is in need of a solid empirical evidence base. Conventional measurement concepts used for example by the EU based on sector-classifications deliver highly biased pictures. We propose measurement concepts based on the use of green skills and human capital, validate key assumptions o

E-scooter sharing has been commonly used to integrate public transport systems in many cities worldwide. Accurately modeling integration between shared e-scooters and public transport is important for multi-modal urban transportation development and management. However, the effects of catchment size are scarcely considered while modeling their integration by widely adopting the method based on the

During the last few years Europe has made enormous progress towards free electron laser (FEL)-based research infrastructures. The FLASH facility [1] at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, has been in user operation since the summer of 2005; FERMI@Elettra [2] in Trieste, Italy, is under construction; the European XFEL [3] in Hamburg will start construction in summer 2008; and several other FEL projects are b

In recent years, trust has emerged as a topic of interest for scholars aiming to understand the mechanisms enabling transnational intelligence cooperation and focusing on relations of trust between intelligence agencies. The potential dynamics between the trust facilitating transnational intelligence cooperation and the public trust in intelligence agencies on a national level, however, remains un

The world is becoming more and more data driven. There are many ways to collect, analyse and disseminate data, and data ecosystems are among the most important environments that we have for facilitating this. Spatial data is one of the data types in data ecosystems, and data ecosystems play a key role in further value creation of the spatial data created, maintained and shared in the SDI. The work

The construction industry is ranked number one compared to other sectors when it comes to waste generated in the European Union. Reuse of products is a priority within the European Union to reduce the need for virgin materials and to reduce waste. Looking back at past practices, various approaches have been suggested to increase reuse of construction products, although these approaches have fallen

This chapter identifies factors impacting artists’ and cultural workers’ mental health. Structural conditions constitute power imbalances, such as inclusion mechanisms that influence privilege and possibilities to exhibit/publish artwork. Structural conditions also have an impact on the distribution of financial resources and the forming of new collective and inclusive networks, creating alternati

I Sverige erbjuds förebyggande stödgrupper av socialtjänsten för barn som växer upp i familjer där det förekommer våld, missbruk eller psykisk ohälsa. Stigma som är kopplad till föräldrars problem och till socialtjänstens inblandning utgör hinder för barns deltagande i stödgrupper. I denna artikel undersöks barns och föräldrars upplevda motiv, hinder och fördelar med deltagandet genom att utforska

BackgroundAmbulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring has long been used to monitor BP in hypertension and lately emerged as a useful tool to detect hypotensive susceptibility in reflex syncope. However, hemodynamic characteristics in reflex syncope have not been sufficiently explored. The present study investigated the differences between ambulatory BP monitoring profiles associated with reflex syn

Previous research indicates that firms pay a premium to poach workers from exporting firms if experience working for an internationally engaged firm reduces trade costs. Because international experience is less valuable to non-exporters, we would expect to see differences in recruitments between firms that are internationally engaged and those that serve only the domestic market. Moreover, increas

The pursuit of commercialization is at the core of economic activity, and limited commercialization success is generally ascribed to the lower scalability or potential of the venture. Drawing on the anti-profit-taking socio-institutional perspective and innovation resistance theory, commercialization of a value-creating technology could be resisted from the demand side. We use a 3D surgical video
