“I’m different all the time” – A qualitative study of young people’s roles and collective identity formation in different parts of Gothenburg The purpose of this study was to compare young people’s view of their neighborhoods, and what significance the residential area has for their collective identity formation. Young people living in a residential area with a low proportion of native Swedes, lo

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease of insulin deficiency that results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet β cells. The exact cause of T1D remains unknown, although asymptomatic islet autoimmunity lasting from weeks to years before diagnosis raises the possibility of intervention before the onset of clinical disease. The number, type, and titer of islet autoantibodies are associated wit

Background Social media is an important and growing part of the lives of the vast majority of the global population, especially in the young. Although still a young and scarce subject, research has revealed that social media has addictive potential. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to explore the associations between problematic use of social media and mental distress, problematic gaming

Purpose: Humans have a preference for nasal breathing during sleep. This 10-year prospective study aimed to determine if nasal symptoms can predict snoring and also if snoring can predict development of nasal symptoms. The hypothesis proposed is that nasal symptoms affect the risk of snoring 10 years later, whereas snoring does not increase the risk of developing nasal symptoms. Methods: In the co

Salivary amylase initiates the digestion of starch and it has been hypothesized that salivary amylase may play a role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The aim was to examine the interaction between copy number variation in the salivary amylase gene AMY1 and starch intake. We studied 3,624 adults without diabetes or elevated blood glucose in the Malmö Diet Cancer cohort

Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärt

BACKGROUND: Research involving multimorbid older patients is gaining momentum. However, little is known about how to plan a randomised controlled trial (RCT) involving this group of patients. An evidence-based approach to the challenges of a recruitment process could guide researchers and help prevent underpowered trials.AIM: To define the number of multimorbid older patients that need to be ident

BACKGROUND: Antibody-based constructs for molecular imaging and therapeutic delivery provide promising opportunities for the diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis.OBJECTIVES: The authors aimed to generate and characterize immunoglobulin (Ig)G monoclonal autoantibodies in atherosclerosis for targeting of novel molecular determinants.METHODS: The authors created hybridomas from an unimmunized l

AIM: The LUCAS™ device has been shown to improve organ perfusion during cardiac arrest in experimental studies. In this pilot study the aim was to compare short-term survival between cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) performed with mechanical chest compressions using the LUCAS™ device and CPR performed with manual chest compressions. The intention was to use the results for power calculation in

Ett aktuellt förslag från Företagsskattekommittén föreslår att det ska införas ett nytt system för bolagsbeskattning. De nya reglerna ska öka den skattemässiga neutraliteten mellan eget och lånat kapital, samt om möjligt ersätta de nuvarande reglerna för ränteavdragsbegränsningar. Förslaget som lämnats in består av två förslag, huvudförslaget samt det alternativa förslaget. Huvudförslaget är det

Uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för polisens användning av bildpublicering av misstänkta gärningspersoner på polisens hemsida. Polisen har å ena sidan i uppgift att utreda och beivra brott, å andra sidan finns regler till skydd för medborgare, såsom skyddet för den personliga integriteten. Det leder till att en avvägning måste göras mellan det brottsutredande intresset och skyddet för den persoThe purpose of this paper is to explain the police's image publishing of suspected perpetrators at the police official website. The task of the police is to investigate crime and prosecute criminals accordingly, but there are rules to protect citizens, such as the protection of personal privacy. Therefore it’s important with a balance between the criminal investigative interest and the protect

Biokol - vägen till ett mer hållbart jordbruk? Ett sätt att minska mängden koldioxid i atmosfären är att binda kol till marken. Detta kan man göra genom att tillsätta biokol till åkermark. Biokol är en produkt av organiskt material som förkolnats genom upphettning i syrefria eller syrefattiga förhållanden, en process som kallas pyrolys. Biokol binder inte bara kol utan kan även öka den närings- Nitrogen leaching from modern agriculture can contribute to nitrogen enrichment in ground- and surface water, causing negative health effects or environmental issues by eutrophication. One technique to manage and reduce the nitrogen losses from arable land could be to apply biochar, a solid charred material that is produced from pyrolyzed biomass. Biochar has previously been shown by recent studie

Sisal (Agave sisalana) is a climate-resilient crop grown on large-scale farms in semi-arid areas. However, no studies have investigated soil greenhouse gas (GHGs: CO2, N2O and CH4) fluxes from these plantations and how they relate to other land cover types. We examined GHG fluxes (Fs) in a sisal chronosequence at Teita Sisal Estatein southern Kenya. The effects of stand age on Fs were examined usi

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic presents great challenges on transmission prevention, and rapid diagnosis is essential to reduce the disease spread. Various diagnostic methods are available to identify an ongoing infection by nasopharyngeal (NPH) swab sampling. However, the procedure requires handling by health care professionals, and therefore limits the application in household and community s

Lipid uptake can be facilitated via caveolae, specific plasma membrane invaginations abundantly expressed in adipocytes. The dynamin-related protein EH domain-containing 2 (EHD2) stabilizes caveolae at the cell surface. Here, we have examined the importance of EHD2 for lipid handling using primary adipocytes isolated from EHD2 knockout (Ehd2−/−) C57BL6/N mice. Following high-fat diet (HFD) feeding
