BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that animal protein foods may increase the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We therefore examined the NAFLD risk reduction related to substituting plant protein foods for animal protein foods.METHODS: The cohort in North China included 14,541 participants from the Tianjin Chronic Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation and Health (TCLSIH) study, and

AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the association between physical activity and the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in individuals with and without CHD risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS: EPIC-CVD is a case-cohort study of 29 333 participants that included 13 582 incident CHD cases and a randomly selected sub-cohort nested within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nut

Popular AbstractStörre kriser och katastrofer som stormen Gudrun och dess konsekvenser är sannolikt att vänta i framtiden. Det råder dock ovisshet om vilka kriserna kommer att vara och under vilka förutsättningar. Nya och kompletterande vetenskapliga studier och metoder inom kris- och katastrofforskningen måste till för att öka samhällets kunskap om och förmåga att hantera kända och okända hotbildSevere crises and disasters such as the Hurricane Gudrun and their consequences will probably occur in the future. However, there are many uncertainties concerning disasters and their effects. New scientific approaches and methods for crisis and disaster research must be developed to increase the knowledge and ability of societies to manage known and unknown threats. Substantial research on the em

BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is part of a healthy lifestyle and prevents many chronic health problems, in addition to promoting mental health. PA performed outdoors has been found particularly good for promoting one's well-being. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which outdoor recreational PA was carried out during 1 year, and the factors influencing such activities from

Optimizing cheese yield and quality is of central importance to cheese manufacturing. The yield is associated with the time it takes before the gel has an optimal consistency for further processing, and it is well known that gel formation differs between individual milk samples. By identifying genomic regions affecting traits related to rennet-induced gelation, the aim of this study was to identif

The Lewis (Le) blood group antigens are a set of fucosylated glycan structures. They are present as N- and O-linked structures on glycoproteins and as glycolipid-based structures on cell surfaces. Depending on the exact structure, the Lewis group is divided into four subgroups; Lea, Leb, Lex and Ley. Lex and Lea can further be sialylated and/or sulfonated. Among these, Lex has been found to be imp

Background: Alexithymia is a disturbance associated with psychosomatic disorders, pain syndromes, and a variety of psychiatric disorders. The Affect School (AS) based on Tomkins Affect Theory is a therapy focusing on innate affects and their physiological expressions, feelings, emotions and scripts. In this pilot study we tried the AS-intervention method in patients with chronic benign pain. Metho

Limited data are available about the role of the serotonin 2B (5-HT2B) receptor in the function of human islets. This study aimed to test whether the 5-HT2B receptor contributes to glucose, insulin, and glucagon homeostasis in humans, utilizing a hereditary loss-of-function gene mutation in the receptor, which causes a 50% reduction in the production of the receptor protein in heterozygotes. This

Hydrological modelling is essential for effective water resources management, as it represents complex physical processes through mathematical equations to improve our understanding of the water cycle. FLEXG is a glacio-hydrological model that has been successfully applied and found to perform well in glacierized regions. This study seeks to improve the capability of classical FLEXG model for glac

Flyktingkrisen 2015 innebar en ökad invandring till Sverige och i samband med den krävdes en lagreform för att skapa en jämnare fördelning av nyanlända invandrare mellan landets kommuner. Detta resulterade i att bosättningslagen trädde i kraft i mars 2016. Den nya lagen innebär en skyldighet för kommuner att numera efter anvisning av en länsstyrelse årligen ta emot ett antal nyanlända invandrare o

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur svenska kommuner kan tänkas hantera stigande havsnivåer i dess översiktliga planering. Med hjälp av geografiska informationssystems-, litteratur-, och dokumentanalyser, som tillämpades på fallexemplen Trelleborgs och Kristianstads kommun i Skåne, kunde empiri genereras samt analyseras med hjälp av en egen framtagen modell. Denna modell, eller konceptuella ramv

Det har uttryckts oro över ungdomarnas ständiga uppkoppling via sociodigitala teknologier och hur detta kan relateras till en upplevd försämring av unga människors välbefinnande. Få studier har fokuserat på totala användningen av både sociala medier och dataspel; eller har utforskat potentiella positiva samband mellan sociodigitalt deltagande (SDP) och ungdomarnas välbefinnande. Syfte: Den aktuellConcern has been voiced about adolescents’ instant connectivity via socio-digital technologies and how that relates to a perceived worsening of young people’s well-being. Few studies have focused on cumulative use of both social media and gaming; and/or exploring potential positive associations of socio-digital participation (SDP) and adolescent well-being. Objectives: The current study aimed to

Miljö- och klimatpåverkan är idag centralt inom byggbranschen. För att uppnå de globala och nationella mål som existerar krävs fler åtgärder för att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. Byggsektorn står idag för cirka 21 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Klimatberäkningar är ett sätt att uppmärksamma aktörer på den klimatpåverkan branschen utgör och öka motivationen till förändring. I d

Objective This study was undertaken to analyze standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and causes and predictors of death in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) diagnosed according to 3 different classification criteria sets (the Copenhagen criteria, the European criteria, and the American-European consensus criteria (AECC). Methods A linked registry study using information from the Malmö Primary SS Reg

Exposure to hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) has consistently been associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer, particularly of small tumours. Other tumour characteristics in relation to HRT have received less scientific attention. Our aim in this population-based prospective cohort study was to assess whether HRT is associated with an increased incidence of breast-cancer subgroups de
