A recently published genome wide association study identified 29 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) influencing blood pressure (BP). Case-control studies suggest that a genetic risk score (GRS) based on these 29 SNPs affect the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but its role for CVD at population level is unknown. Here, we prospectively evaluate the impact of this polygenetic BP component o

Skin barrier damage and subsequent development of harmful microbiota contribute to conditions such as wound infections, atopic dermatitis, and chronic wounds, which impact millions of people globally and pose a significant economic burden on healthcare systems. Established microbial sampling methods, such as swabs and tissue biopsies, provide limited information on the spatial distribution of bact

Hösten 2021 infördes ett nytt examensmål för lärarutbildningarna rörande lärarstudenternas förmåga att ”kommunicera och reflektera kring frågor som rör identitet, sexualitet och relationer”. För att våra studenter ska kunna uppfylla detta mål har vi inom historieämnet på ämneslärarutbildningen vid Örebro universitet infört ett obligatoriskt moment i form av en muntlig rollspelsövning.

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only posed unprecedented threats to global health but also raised significant concerns about equality and inclusiveness. Drawn on the participatory approach in strategic communication, this chapter proposes a community-based crisis response model to address communication inequality among ethnic groups during public health crises. This chapter assesses current scholarl

The FOCUS project is undertaking a range of research and piloting tasks which aim to improve understanding of dynamic integration and to assist the implementation of effective practices. As part of this work a detailed programme of qualitative research has been undertaken in four countries. This report presents the country-specific findings of this research, which will be further consolidated in a

In this country report, as well as the accompanying general report, the authors revisit a 1999 European Taxation article discussing tax avoidance, which stemmed from the first European Association of Tax Law Professors meeting. The authors explore shifts in tax avoidance perception due to the introduction of the treaty general anti-avoidance rule (GAAR) (principal purpose test), EU GAAR and specif

This paper introduces Parameter Estimation by Raw Moments (PERM), a flexible method for evaluating a policy’s impact on the parameters of an outcome distribution. Such parameters include the variance (E[Y2]−E[Y]2), skewness and covariance of two outcomes. PERM simplifies distributional analysis by first separately estimating higher-order moment treatment effects (e.g., E[Y2]), then combining these

How do individuals feel and think themselves on themselves? Our actual multicultural world offer us a unique, natural experiment for a detailed study of this problematic. We will use the Meaning Constitution Analysis methodology for planification of research as it is: 1. Oriented towards meaning, as it is constituted in/by the individual in his daily life activities; 2. Oriented towards a gatherin
