Male childlessness in late adulthood is increasingly prevalent in rural China, indicating a critical need to understand the factors contributing to childlessness among rural men—an often-overlooked group in gerontological and childlessness research. While existing studies have explored individual-level predictors of childlessness over the life course and the implications of broader societal condit
Objective To systematically review and synthesise the incidence and characteristics of injuries and illnesses among athletes participating in the Olympic, Youth Olympic and Paralympic Games.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science were searched up to 2 July 2024, and Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical T
Objective Exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) occurs during several occupational activities and leads to lung cancer. Growing evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important part in carcinogenesis. This study was to explore circulating miRNAs of Cr(VI) exposed workers and to identify the potential biological function of differentially expressed miRNA (DEM).Material and Methods This
Objective To date, the major pathways contributing to cardiovascular disease among night shift workers remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors and are estimated to control more than 30 candidate miRNAs among night shift workers.Materials and Methods RNA was extracted from plasma samples of 110 night and 90day shift worker
Objectives: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) libraries have limited capabilities for identification of Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus-complex (SBSEC) subspecies. The objective was to develop and validate novel MALDI-TOF MS libraries adapted to diagnostic culturing and sampling conditions for improved identification of SBSEC subs
Bob Emerson’s influence on Swedish sociology is wide-ranging and multifaceted. Bob presented this ethnomethodological approach to ethnography on several occasions to a Swedish audience. Our loose network of cultural criminology in Lund developed into what is now the Crime, Control, Culture group at our department, a successful research community consisting of BA and MA courses, researchers, lectur
This article examines the paradoxical role of borders in shaping crime in the 21st century, particularly within the context of some of the world’s most profitable and harmful transnational and organized crime. Drawing on examples such as drug trafficking, environmental crime, and Internet-based crimes, it is argued that the proliferation of ‘borders’—both physical, bureaucratic, and digital—has cr
With the shift toward de-escalating surgery in breast cancer, prediction models incorporating imaging can reassess the need for surgical axillary staging. This study employed advancements in deep learning to comprehensively evaluate routine mammograms for preoperative lymph node metastasis prediction. Mammograms and clinicopathological data from 1265 cN0 T1-T2 breast cancer patients (primary surge
BackgroundRecent reports point to a global and Swedish national mental health crisis among young adults. It is widely recognised that this phase of ‘emerging adulthood’ involves many challenges, stressors and uncertainties that can negatively impact mental health and well-being. In addition, these strains may be exacerbated by rapid contemporary changes in technological, societal and sociocultural
This study explores socioeconomic disparities in how patients trade off quality against other features when choosing their primary care provider. We use a unique registry dataset linking the choices of individuals who recently moved to a new market, and therefore need to select a new provider, with detailed individual-level measures of socioeconomic status (SES) and provider-level measures of pati
Detta bidrag undersöker vilken roll destination management organisationer (DMO) har när det gäller att påverka destinationers motståndskraft genom sina kommunikationsinsatser. I det dynamiska landskapet inom destinationshantering spelar DMO:s en avgörande roll när det gäller att balansera destinationsmarknadsföring och -hantering, turismfrämjande och intressenters intressen. Den kraftiga ökningen This entry examines the role of destination management organisations (DMOs) in influencing destination resilience through their communication efforts. In the dynamic landscape of destination management, DMOs play a crucial role in balancing destination marketing and management, tourism promotion and stakeholder interests. However, the surge in global crises such as COVID-19, natural disasters, and
The emergence of drug-resistant Gram-positive pathogens, particularlyStaphylococcus aureusandStreptococcus pyogenes, has driven the need for novel antimicrobial agents. This study explores 21 newly synthesized peptidomimetic analogues of cystatin C Nterminal fragment, designed to enhance bioactivity, solubility, and safety. These compounds were evaluated for antimicrobial potency, cytotoxicity, pr
The chromosomes of 13 primary and 4 secondary Rous sarcomas (RSV–SR) in the rat have been studied in fixations directly from the tumour. The general character of the chromosomal spectrum in the primary sarcomas was similar to that of the Rous sarcomas in the mouse and the Chinese hamster. However, normal diploid stemlines were considerably more frequent in the rat sarcomas; among the heteroploid s
