Perceived daylight conditions in multi-family apartment blocks – Instrument validation and correlation with room geometry
This article investigates the relation between subjective evaluations and objective measurements of daylighting in multi-family residential buildings. More specifically, the suitability of an observer-based environmental assessment (OBEA) instrument to assess indoor daylight conditions was tested in a field study conducted in six typical multi-family apartment buildings in the central and metropol
Endolymphatic hydrops induced by different mechanisms responds differentially to spironolactone : a rationale for understanding the diversity of treatment responses in hydropic inner ear disease
Background: The exact pathophysiological mechanism(s) underlying endolymphatic hydrops (EH) remain elusive. We have previously shown that chronic administration of vasopressin and inhibitors of the cAMP/cGMP degrading enzymes (PDE3, PDE4, PDE5) results in the development of EH to mice. Aims/objectives: Evaluate the ability of spironolactone, an aldosterone antagonist, to prevent EH, when induced b
Interaction between smoking and genetic factors in the development of chronic bronchitis
Rationale: Smoking is a primary risk factor for chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, but since not all smokers develop disease, it has been suggested that some individuals may be more susceptible to exogenous factors, such as smoking, and that this susceptibility could be genetically determined. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess, in a popul
Medeltidsarkeologi 1983-2009, förmedling, representativitet och ansvar
Even when the editor of the popular journal Populär Arkeologi claims to be communicating the latest advances in archaeological research to the public and that the authors often are professional archaeologists, this is done very rarely and focuses mostly on dating and artifacts. Is it the editor’s responsibility or must the archaeologists themselves highlight these issues in their articles? Common
Human PNPLA3-I148M variant increases hepatic retention of polyunsaturated fatty acids
The common patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) variant I148M predisposes to nonalcoholic liver disease but not its metabolic sequelae. We compared the handling of labeled polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and saturated fatty acids (SFA) in vivo in humans and in cells harboring different PNPLA3 genotypes. In 148M homozygous individuals, triglycerides (TGs) in very low-
Allergic contact dermatitis caused by isobornyl acrylate in the Enlite glucose sensor and the Paradigm MiniMed Quick-set insulin infusion set
Background: The FreeStyle Libre glucose sensor has caused many cases of allergic contact dermatitis, and isobornyl acrylate (IBOA) in this sensor has been identified as one of the culprit allergens. Objectives: To report on the presence of IBOA in devices produced by Medtronic, namely, Enlite sensor and insulin infusion set Paradigm MiniMed Quick-set. Patients and Methods: Five patients reacting t
Early probiotic supplementation and the risk of celiac disease in children at genetic risk
Probiotics are linked to positive regulatory effects on the immune system. The aim of the study was to examine the association between the exposure of probiotics via dietary supplements or via infant formula by the age of 1 year and the development of celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA) and celiac disease among a cohort of 6520 genetically susceptible children. Use of probiotics during the first yea
Correlation of seminar attendance and written examinations in medical education
Objectives: The parts of constructive alignment, i.e. learning objectives, activities and assessment are crucial for good learning outcomes. However, they must constantly be evaluated so as to verify the alignment. Our aim was to investigate if attendance to our casebased seminars in family medicine contributed to exam performance and whether gender had any impact for undergraduate students at the
Spectacular, realisable and ‘everyday’ : Exploring the particularities of sustainable planning in Malmö
‘Sustainability’, often presented through an ecological–economic–social triad, is today one of spatial planning’s absolute key concepts (and key priorities). But it is also a highly contested concept, whose meaning is often considered evasive or vague. In this paper, we try to counterweigh such evasiveness by putting emphasis on the material landscape produced within a project that is frequently d
Home setting after stroke, facilitators and barriers : A systematic literature review
This paper seeks to improve the understanding of the interaction between patients with stroke and the physical environment in their home settings. Stroke care is increasingly performed in the patient's home. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted to identify the existing knowledge about facilitators and barriers in the physical environment of home settings for the stroke rehabilitation proce
Frame disputes or frame consensus? "environment" or "welfare" first amongst climate strike protesters
Present debates suppose a close linkage between economic, social, and environmental sustainability and suggest that individual wellbeing and living standards need to be understood as directly linked to environmental concerns. Because social movements are often seen as an avant-garde in pushing for change, this article analyzes climate protesters' support for three key frames in current periods of

Sexual orientation, suicide ideation and suicide attempt : A population-based study
Association Between Self-Reported Sleep Duration and Body Composition in Middle-Aged and Older Adults
Coherence and reliability of a wearable inertial measurement unit for measuring postural sway
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to test the coherence of a wearable device, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) against the gold standard; also, to test the intra-trial reliability. This study has a cross-sectional design, where measurement of postural sway in the medio-lateral and anterior-posterior directions was performed simultaneously on a force plate and with a IMU called the Snubblomete
Temperature performance and food shelf-life accuracy in cold food supply chains – Insights from multiple field studies
A challenge in perishable food industry today is variable and unknown food quality caused by different temperature conditions. This sometimes leads to unreliable printed shelf lives (best before dates) and food waste. Hence, temperature monitoring and control along cold food supply chains (FSCs) are essential for maintaining food quality and safety of perishable food products. This paper evaluates
