The public health war on obesity has had little impact on obesity prevalence and has resulted in unintended consequences. Its ineffectiveness has been attributed to: 1) heavy focus on individual-based approaches and lack of scaled-up socio-environmental policies and programs, 2) modest effects of interventions in reducing and preventing obesity at the population level, and 3) inappropriate focus o
Misinformation or myths about obesity can lead to weight bias and obesity stigma. Counteracting myths with facts and evidence has been shown to be effective educational tools to increase an individuals' knowledge about a certain condition and to reduce stigma.The purpose of this study was to identify common obesity myths within the healthcare and public domains and to develop evidence-based counte
This review is based on an exploration of the published literature over the past 20 years in the area of weight bias, stigma and discrimination and its association with obesity treatment. National and international obesity organizations have identified obesity stigma as a key barrier to effectively addressing the obesity epidemic and have called for theory driven interventions to reduce it. Both t
PURPOSE: Obesity is associated with a wide range of chronic illnesses and disabilities familiar to rehabilitation researchers and practitioners. Obesity discourse in the area of rehabilitation science and practice is limited.METHOD: A meeting of rehabilitation researchers, practitioners, industry and decision makers was held for the purpose of identifying research and practice priorities in the ar
Objective: Mounting evidence supports an association between the intestinal microbiota and diverse pulmonary pathologies (ie, gut-lung axis). Although intestinal dysbiosis is a feature of systemic sclerosis (SSc), no prior studies have investigated the relationship between intestinal microbiota and SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) in a multinational cohort. This study aimed to charac
Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri, is a major global pest because it is the primary vector of Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agents of huanglongbing (HLB), a lethal citrus disease. Following the detection of D. citri in Cyprus in 2023, the first record of this pest in the European Union, a classical biological control program targeting this pest was initiated in spring 2024 using th
Olof Risberg skriver om undersökningen som metod och möjligt verktyg för makt över arbetsplatsen. I den historiska exposén Att undersöka (biblioteks)arbete sätts tayloristiska undersökningar av fabriksarbete i relation till militanta undersökningar och bibliotekarieskråets ansträngningar för att förstå och ta kontroll över sitt arbete.
Background: Parkinson's disease and atypical parkinsonism are characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms. As the disease advances, planning for end-of-life (EoL) care becomes increasingly important. However, consensus-based European guidelines for advance care planning and documentation of EoL care preferences for parkinsonism are lacking. Understanding current documentation practices for EoL c
This chapter discusses how processes of mediatization shape the increasing visibility and contestation of religion in public debate. Mediatization captures the interrelated processes of change between media technologies, institutions, and practices and other parts of society and culture. The first part presents a theoretical framework for the interplay between politics and traditional news media a
Birger Sjöberg arbetade under 1926 på en plan, Drömmeriidkarna, som var ett förstadium till Kriser och kransar (1926) Grundvalen för rekonstruktionen av denna plan är manuskript i Sjöberg-arkivet vid Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek. Rekonstruktionen är en kommenterad, textkritisk utgåva.
Conventional methods of pea protein extraction are resource-intensive, involving multiple purification steps that remove co-existing components such as starch. In contrast, we investigate how minimally processed yellow pea protein extracts that retain residual carbohydrates form thermally induced gels. Contrast-variation small-angle neutron scattering, rheology, and differential scanning calo
Patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) are often diagnosed with peritoneal metastasis and ascites, the accumulation of intraperitoneal fluid containing nonmalignant cells. However, the interactions between EOC and nonmalignant cells before peritoneal metastasis remain unclear. To investigate this, whole EOC spheroids were observed using a multiphoton microscope, and their invasion ability w
We introduce spin-1/2 baryons in the string + 3P0 model of hadronization, previously restricted to the production of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Baryons are modeled as quark–diquark bound states, and baryon production is described by the tunneling of diquark–antidiquark pairs at string breaking points. Diquarks can be scalar or pseudovector, the latter being produced in the relative 5D0 state.
The skin acts as an effective barrier against the uptake of hazardous chemicals and microorganisms as well as prevention of extensive water loss. These barrier functions are mainly assured by the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC). In conditions such as atopic dermatitis (AD)-a chronic inflammatory skin disease-these barrier functions can become impaired. Although AD is driven b
White noise has been proposed to enhance cognitive performance in children with ADHD, but findings are inconsistent, and benefits vary across tasks and individuals. Such variability suggests that diagnostic comparisons may overlook meaningful developmental differences. This exploratory study examined whether developmental characteristics and subjective evaluations of auditory and visual white nois
The relationship between misophonia and sleep-related problems (SRPs) in youth is underexplored. This paucity of research is concerning because SRPs might be elevated among youth with misophonia. If left untreated, SRPs can contribute to long-term health consequences. Thus, in this study we examined the link between misophonia and SRPs in youth aged 8 to 17. In this study, we compared SRPs in 102
Purpose: To describe the prevalence of neck pain (NP) and low back pain (LBP) of varying severity in older community-dwelling men, identify associated factors, and evaluate whether prevalent NP/LBP are risk factors for experiencing pain 5 years later. Patients and Methods: MrOS Sweden is a prospective observational study that included 3014 community-dwelling men aged 69–81 years, of whom 1962 atte
Background: In stroke rehabilitation, instruments assessing the value individuals attribute to everyday activities are vital. The Occupational Value with pre-defined items (OVal-pd) questionnaire was devised for this purpose. Aim: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish OVal-pd—floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency, construct validity, responsiveness, long-term stability,
