The Middle Ordovician of the palaeocontinent Baltica provides some of the best preserved and most diverse acritarch assemblages of the lower Palaeozoic. A great number of widely used acritarch genera and species have been described from this area since the 1960s and many of these taxa are considered as biostratigraphically useful for both regional and international correlation. Here, we document t

We use individual-level income data from archived taxation lists to study top-income earners in Sweden from 1909 to 1950. Using information on 21,055 individual taxpayers in two elite areas in greater Stockholm, we show that top incomes fell in real terms over this period, at a stable pace without obvious connection to the Great Depression or the world wars. The peak of inequality was related to t

BackgroundDiagnostic imaging is a dynamic medical field. In nuclear medicine, advancements introduce new procedures utilising innovative radiopharmaceuticals. These developments may influence supply requirements and exposure levels for the patient population. Surveying the frequency of procedures, types of pharmaceuticals, and administered activities provides valuable insights into utilisation tre

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

BackgroundDietary shift is necessary for improving public health, mitigating climate change, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Adaption of climate-friendly diets might prevent chronic diseases and reduce mortality; however, consuming diets with a low climate impact have been suggested to increase risk of some micronutrient deficiencies.ObjectivesThis study aimed to examine whether s

BACKGROUND: Many poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and have long half-lives in the human body. However, there are limited data on the different routes of elimination. Most pharmacokinetic models assume that the urinary route dominates.OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to investigate the relative importance of fecal and urinary elimination for linear perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (L-P

Background: Higher meat intake has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigated plasma metabolites associated with meat intake and their relation with cardiometabolic biomarkers, subclinical CVD markers, and incident CVD. Methods: Associations between self-reported meat intake and 1272 plasma metabolites were investigated in the SCAP

Background: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, including unhealthy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking, and nonadherence to dietary recommendations, are major contributors to non-communicable diseases and mortality. While adopting healthy behaviours can reduce these risks in middle-aged adults, research is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the distribution of unhea

Background: Stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rank among the leading causes of mortality. Physical activity and exercise are recommended as part of rehabilitation after AMI to prevent cardiovascular events, but the importance for stroke prevention has not been investigated using population-based data. Objectives: To determine associations between participation in exercise-based cardiac

Framväxten och övergången till en alltmer kunskapsbaserad ekonomi har de senaste decennierna omformat grunderna för arbete, möjligheter och politiska attityder i de flesta avancerade ekonomier. Mycket av den offentliga och akademiska debatten har i detta sammanhang betonat ökande regionala klyftor, växande ojämlikheter, ökad osäkerhet, minskad social rörlighet och i kölvattnet av detta också ett vThe transformation to the knowledge economy has reshaped the foundations of work, opportunity, and political sentiment across advanced democracies. Much of the public and academic debate has emphasized deepening regional divides, increasing inequalities, growing precarity, the erosion of upward mobility, and growing social discontent.This PhD thesis explores the geographies of low-income work in S
