This article focuses on two specific social cleavages, ethnic and economic inequality and analyses their respective effects within autocratic regimes. The primary mechanism that was tested was the relationship between these two, and non-state conflict, (defined as a conflict with more than 25 combat fatalities, and the state not directly taking part). The results show support for a positive correl
Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two medical conditions involving the hip which affect the life quality of many people worldwide. These two diseases are diagnosed with 2D imaging by analysis of radiological measures, bone mineral density and joint space. Computed Tomography (CT) can provide 3D images of the hip, but has higher cost and imposes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Another op
Bakgrund: Hälsoläget och dödligheten bland schizofrena patienter är i jämförelse med normalpopulationen klart försämrad. Patientgruppen dör i genomsnitt 10-20 år tidigare och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar (CVD) är särskilt utmärkande. Patientgruppen lever stillasittande liv i högre utsträckning, men fysisk aktivitet, fysisk träning och ökad fysisk fitness har i flera studier visat sig ha goda hälsoeff
Sysav tar emot och förbränner brännbart avfall i ett avfallskraftvärmeverk. Vid förbränningen bildas rökgaser som bland annat innehåller svaveloxid. Rökgaserna behöver gå igenom en avsvavlingsprocess eftersom svaveloxid utgör en stor hälsofara på grund av sin toxicitet. Reningsprocessen för rökgaserna består av två skrubbar. I första skrubbern tvättas rökgaserna med vatten och liten mängs kalkslu
Connecting science to political agenda-setting is essential for a sustainable transition and acceptable politics. This task is complicated by phenomena like post-truth, for which facts are a non-issue. However, post-truth is not the only issue. The practice of political spin, in which the significance of facts is reconstructed according to specific interests poses another threat to scientific cred
As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even
Due to the world’s growing population and an increase in food demand, new innovative food products need to be developed to maximize the use of limited farmland. Because of global warming and the fact that plant based products generate less greenhouse gases than meat based products, research should focus on new plant-based protein sources. Rapeseed press cake is a residue from rapeseed oil producti
Bakgrund: Distanslöpare beskrivs som en grupp som utsätts för hög risk att drabbas av överbelastningsskador som till största del är lokaliserade i den nedre extremiteten. En svag abduktormuskulatur förmodas vara en bidragande faktor till att utveckla överbelastningsskador hos löpare. Det är i dagsläget vanligt med muskelstärkande träning för höftabduktorerna både som rehabiliteringsåtgärd samt i p
As the greenhouse gas emissions keep on increasing the need for solutions to help reduce emissions across all sectors has never been greater. The European Union has pointed out green hydrogen as a step in increasing the sustainability of the energy sector in Europe. Goals has been set to boost the development of hydrogen technology since the green hydrogen production today is only existing in an i
Bakgrund: Kritisk sjukdom kan definieras som ett tillstånd av svikt i vitala parametrar, vilket ökar risken för oplanerad inläggning på intensivvårdsavdelning (IVA), intrahospitalt hjärtstopp samt död. På vårdavdelning används idag ett standardiserat bedömningsverktyg, National Early Warning Score (NEWS), för att bedöma vitala parametrar. Vid höga NEWS-poäng bör en mobil intensivvårdsgrupp (MIG) k
Reducing microorganisms by UV light is has been commonly used for drinking water for many years. In other liquid products like apple juice it is a rather novel application. The advantages would be that quality parameters like aromas and vitamins are less affected by the UV treatment compared to a heat treatment. Furthermore it would probably be cheaper, as the lamps need less electrical energy tha
The genetic causes of familial breast cancer are still unclear, where only less than 20% have evident germline mutations. Most studies focus on mutations that cause a direct impact in the protein, disregarding the synonymous variants, where the codon is changed but the amino acid encoded remains the same. Synonymous variants can affect mRNA stability and translation, by differences in codon usage
Colored sticky traps are used for management of many common agricultural insect pests. Several recent studies have shown that traps can be improved by systematically considering properties of color vision for the target species. In the current study, we extend this approach to spatial vision, using information about the interommatidial angle of an agriculturally important insect pest, western flow
AIMS: Previous studies show inconsistencies in vasovagal syncope (VVS) symptoms and haemodynamic responses across age and sex groups, with limited evaluation of tilt test results. This study comprehensively examines differences in triggers, prodromal and syncopal symptoms, and head-up tilt test (HUTT) responses among VVS patients by age and sex providing new insights.METHODS AND RESULTS: We analys
Sundarban mangrove is the largest continuous mangrove forest in the world and is the habitat of an incredible amount of biodiversity. Biodiversity loss and degradation of this highly ecologically productive mangrove forest due to climate change will have a tremendous impact on the livelihood of the people living in the deltaic region. The present study was aimed to find out the dynamics of change
Background People with serious respiratory illness frequently have a high symptom burden and may be prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy with the aims of reducing the severity of breathlessness and improving health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of oxygen therapy versus no oxygen on 1) breathlessness, 2) HRQoL and 3) ad
OBJECTIVES: To investigate hip dysplasia as a risk factor for clinically relevant and incident radiographic hip OA.METHODS: From a prospective cohort (CHECK) of 1002 middle-aged, new consulters for hip and/or knee pain, 468 hips (251 individuals) were selected based on hip pain, available lateral center edge angle (LCEA) and absence of definite radiographic hip OA (Kellgren and Lawrence [KL] grade
Many women are occupationally active during pregnancy. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between exposure to chemicals during pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes or preeclampsia. The cohort included singleton births in Sweden between 1994 and 2014. The cohort was limited to low-educated mothers to reduce potential confounding from unidentified life-style associated f
