Obesity is more common in individuals with mobility disability than in those without this condition.

Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the body mass index (BMI) status and the association of overweight or obesity on HRQoL and participation in socie

To explore the effects of a single dose of the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin on glucose-standardized insulin secretion and β-cell glucose sensitivity after meal ingestion, 12 healthy and 12 drug-naïve, well-controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) subjects (mean HbA1c 43mmol/mol, 6.2%) received sitagliptin (100mg) or placebo before a meal (525kcal). β-cell function was measured as the insulin secretory rate

The notion ‘textual history’ (Sw. texthistoria) has often been used in a narrow philological sense denoting the history of version of a single work.

Learning a language is a creative process. It involves novelty and imagination. While curiosity can be highly beneficial, research is limited. Studies so far conducted have explored epistemic curiosity as a trait-like disposition. In contrast, the current study focuses on perceptual curiosity (PC). PC is a situational response evoked by novelty, complexity and ambiguities in sensory stimulation. P

Background: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) was the first incretin identified and plays an essential role in the maintenance of glucose tolerance in healthy humans.

Main title: Trading-intense housing environments. City centers tend to condense – these pieces of land are attractive for many different purposes. Co-using of buildings becomes more and more usual. For instance there are on-going investigations regarding how to create attractive residential environments close to shopping areas with high traffic density. In many places, the vision is a mixed-use ne

This study explores Malmö's definition of social sustainability. Social sustainability still lacks a universal definition, creating a wide margin of interpretation and free space to act or not to act. The concept has grown as a topic on the political agenda and the City of Malmö has in recent years launched major projects to influence the social sustainability in a positive direction. Among ot

Under 2021 genomfördes ett stort antal M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden i Sverige jämfört med tidigare år. Syftet med studien är att studera motiv till M&A-transaktioner på fastighetsmarknaden, hur dessa skapar värde för fastighetsbolagen samt vilka effekter de ger på marknaden. Studien genomfördes genom att läsa litteratur och tidigare forskning på ämnet samt studera M&A-tra

The labor market integration of immigrants in general, and female migrants in particular, remains a central developmental objective for counteracting inequalities within societies across Europe. Previous studies put forth the concept of social capital, the resources linked to an individual's network of social connections, to explain immigrants’ diverging labor market trajectories.
