In the last four decades different regulations have been introduced through directives and agreements to strengthen the work for a sustainable future and the road to reach it. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is one practical example which is suppose to provide a broad prediction of how a project will affect the environment. On the one hand EIA is a regulated, strong tool to reach a susta
Climate change is exponentially becoming one of the most pressing issues of our time. While it is an issue that plaques the international community it is an issue that needs to be addressed on all levels. Local government has been highlighted as the level closest to the people and is uniquely positioned to instigate a range of activities that directly address climate change and sustainability. Thi
I arbetet redogörs för den svenska sekretesslagstiftningens struktur, innehåll och historiska utveckling i den mån den berör statlig och kommunal tillsyn m.m. över näringslivet. Sekretessbestämmelserna återfinns i 30 kap. 23-24 och 27 §§ OSL. Arbetet behandlar skaderekvisitens betydelse vid rättstillämpningen och den begränsning av handlingsoffentligheten som därvid gjort sig gällande samt i vad m
Circulating metabolites associated with insulin sensitivity may represent useful biomarkers, but their causal role in insulin sensitivity and diabetes is less certain. We previously identified novel metabolites correlated with insulin sensitivity measured by the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. The top-ranking metabolites were in the glutathione and glycine biosynthesis pathways. We aimed to ide
Conclusion: This study shows a persistent trend of an increase in the incidence of carcinoma of the tongue into the twenty-first century for both sexes and all age groups except for young males. Objectives: During the last decades increased incidence of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue in young adults has been reported. We previously showed an increased incidence in SCC of the tongue in
Evidence has emerged across the past few decades that the lifetime risk of developing morbidities like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease may be influenced by exposures that occur in utero and in childhood. Developmental abnormalities are known to occur at various stages in fetal growth. Epidemiological and mechanistic studies have sought to delineate developmental processes and
Objective To describe the experiences of people with systemic sclerosis (SSc) in different European countries of functioning and health and to link these experiences to the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) to develop a common understanding from a bio-psycho-social perspective. Method A qualitative multicentre study with focus-group interviews was perform
As climate change intensifies, more voices are being raised in favor of re-conceptualization and transformative systems change, where actions are taken on a social, political and economic level. Environmentally engaged art and its artists are brought forward as potential instigators of change, as both researchers and as civil actors in society. Through semi-structured interviews and discourse an
Bakgrund: Coronapandemin har medfört restriktioner för riskgruppen 70 år och äldre som uppmanades att undvika nära kontakter, vilket resulterade i att många isolerade sig i sina hem. Deras vardag och möjlighet till aktivitet och delaktighet förändrades plötsligt. Det finns begränsat med kunskap om hur restriktionerna påverkade äldre personers vardag och hälsa. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer 70 Background: The coronavirus pandemic led to restrictions for persons 70 years and older who were advised to avoid close contact, which for many resulted in isolation at home. Their possibilities to engage in everyday activities suddenly changed. Little is known about how the restrictions has influenced older adults’ everyday life and health. Aim: To explore how persons 70 years and older in Swede
Comparing patterns of diversity and divergence between populations at immune genes and neutral markers can give insights into the nature and geographic scale of parasite-mediated selection. To date, studies investigating such patterns of selection in vertebrates have primarily focused on the acquired branch of the immune system, whereas it remains largely unknown how parasite-mediated selection sh
Apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) is the main protein involved in the formation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), it is the principal mediator of the reverse cholesterol transfer (RCT) pathway and provides cardio-protection. In addition to functional wild-type apoA-I, several variants have been shown to associate with hereditary amyloidosis. In this study we have performed biophysical and biochemical a
Abstract in UndeterminedAn efficient lighting control systems (LCS) should take advantage of the natural light available, but this presents some technical challenges as well as user related issues. So far, the assessment of lighting energy consumption of LCS has been based on technical features rather than the occupants’ acceptance.This article presents the results of a monitoring study providing
