BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Phytoestrogens are estradiol-like natural compounds found in plants that have been associated with protective effects against chronic diseases, including some cancers, cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis. The purpose of this study was to estimate the dietary intake of phytoestrogens, identify their food sources and their association with lifestyle factors in the Europea
Objective.. To describe the diversity in dietary patterns existing across centres/regions participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design and setting.. Single 24-hour dietary recall measurements were obtained by means of standardised face-to-face interviews using the EPIC-SOFT software. These have been used to present a graphic multi-dimensional com
Den 18 mars 2016 publicerade Europeiska Rådet en överenskommelse på sin hemsida. Den blev känd som ’EU-Turkiet-avtalet’ och gick ut på att asylsökande skickas tillbaka från de grekiska öarna till Turkiet. I utbyte får Turkiet bl a ekonomisk kompensation och ökade chanser till visafrihet och EU-medlemskap. Bland allmänheten möttes avtalet av kritik eftersom det överförde ansvaret för asylsökande t
Romana mors (=Roman death) was the expression the Romans used for suicide since the Latin word suicidium didn’t exist in classical Latin and didn’t appear until the late Middle Ages. Such deaths were common among the upper classes in the 1st century B.C. and A.D., the two periods which I have drawn material from, and were considered as a noble way to end one’s life, a turning-point being Cato’s su
West Nile virus (WNV) is a growing risk to public and veterinary health in Europe, with intensifying outbreaks over recent decades coinciding with a rapidly warming climate. Thermal biology models parameterized through laboratory experiments on the mosquito vectors and the pathogen play a central role in our causal understanding of the effects of temperature on WNV transmission. We evaluated the a
This thesis examines whether the institutional monetary policy regime influences corporate risk-taking by comparing publicly listed firms operating under the European Central Bank (ECB) with firms in European countries that retain monetary sovereignty. While previous literature has established that monetary policy affects corporate investment and risk-taking through changes in financing conditions
Background: The 313-variant polygenic risk score (PRS313) provides a promising tool for clinical breast cancer risk prediction. However, evaluation of the PRS313 across different European populations which could influence risk estimation has not been performed. Methods: We explored the distribution of PRS313 across European populations using genotype data from 94,072 females without breast cancer
Trenden av ökad internationell handel har resulterat i att skattskyldiga blivit allt mer beroende av dubbelbeskattningsavtal. Existensen av dessa har på senare år blivit hotad, eftersom domstolar underlåtit tillämpningen av avtal till fördel för intern rätt, internationellt benämnt tax treaty override. I Sverige har sådan override skett genom Högsta förvaltningsdomstolens praxis. Uppsatsens syfte With the growing global trade, the demand for tax treaties has risen. The existence of such treaties has however lately been threatened due to courts applying domestic law in favor of tax treaties, more commonly known as “tax treaty override”. The Swedish Supreme Administrative Court has been guilty of treaty override in its case law. The aim of this thesis is therefore to determine applicable law
Background. Primary glomerular disease (PGD) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) leading to kidney replacement therapy (KRT). We aimed to describe incidence (trends) in individuals starting KRT for ESKD due to PGD and to examine their survival and causes of death. Methods. We used data from the European Renal Association (ERA) Registry on 69 854 patients who started KRT for ESKD du
Welcome Address from the Founders of QMOD It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 16th QMOD conference. During the last 16 years the QMOD conferences have been organized in China (1997), Slovenia (1999), Denmark, Sweden (three times), France, Korea, Mexico, Italy (two times), UK, Germany, Spain and Poland. The QMOD conference has become one of the largest scientific conferences in the world

Background Results on the association between prenatal exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) and child neuropsychological development are heterogeneous. Underlying genetic differences across study populations could contribute to this varied response to MeHg. Studies in Drosophila have identified the cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A) family as candidate MeHg susceptibility genes. Objectives We evaluated whethe
BACKGROUND: Beta-microseminoprotein, an abundant component in prostatic fluid, is encoded by the potential tumor suppressor gene MSMB. Some New World monkeys carry several copies of this gene, in contrast to most mammals, including humans, which have one only. Here we have investigated the background for the species difference by analyzing the chromosomal organization and expression of MSMB in the
Background: In addition to their possible direct biological effects, plasma carotenoids can be used as biochemical markers of fruit and vegetable consumption for identifying diet-disease associations in epidemiological studies. Few studies have compared levels of these carotenoids between countries in Europe. Objective: Our aim was to assess the variability of plasma carotenoid levels within the c
Den teknologiska utvecklingen i samhället medför nya utmaningar i förhållande till mänskliga rättigheter. Individers beroende av internet och sociala medier utnyttjas i allt större utsträckning av aktörer som i hemlighet avser påverka den fria åsiktsbildningen. Statligt finansierad manipulation via digitala medier utgör ett särskilt oroande fenomen på grund av dess implikationer på åsiktsfrihet ocThe current digitalisation in society has brought new challenges to international human rights law. Actors aiming to covertly influence opinions are increasingly taking advantage of individuals’ dependence on the internet and social media. State-sponsored online manipulation constitutes a phenomenon of particular concern in light of its potential implications for the free forming of opinions and,
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the abnormal returns for the acquiring firms surrounding M&A announcements. The emphasis of the study lies on examining the difference in abnormal returns between acquiring public and private firms. Secondly, the study aims to get theoretical insights by examining the relationship between the magnitude of abnormal returns and different deal char
This thesis is based on the Swedish pastoral writings of Finland-Swedish priest and theologian Erik Ewalds (1918-1997). It employs Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics together with an adapted reception-historical method to understand how Ewalds draws out meaningful and practically relevant insights from the bible. In Gadamer’s terms, this combination facilitates a fusion of horizons between Ewalds’
Research into voice qualities that employ supraglottal structures has enlightened our knowledge on the relationship between the laryngeal and the oral articulators. One such insight, which is described within the laryngeal articulator model, is the relationship between the tongue and jaw, and laryngeal constriction. There is evidence to suggest that the tongue dorsum is actively involved in laryng
