While teacher–student relationships are of central importance for students' motivation, they remain under-investigated. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach and focusing on the 'relationality' of teacher–student relationships, this study examines the identity-work that takes place when a teacher makes visible an aspect of identity not normally salient in the classroom. Framing self-disclosure as

Rationale: We recently demonstrated that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) carrying the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) A allele had increased circulating TNF-α levels compared with the ones carrying the TNF-α G allele. In the current study, we addressed the effect of TNF-α (-308G/A) gene polymorphism on circulating TNF-α levels following continuous

The European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive is of paramount importance for water management. According to the legal text, coordination with other directives like the Floods Directive is imperative and motivated by potential synergy effects. In this paper, the degree to which such coordination is achieved is evaluated for five Nordic and Baltic countries. The evaluation is based on legal docu

BACKGROUND: We investigated the causality of IL-8 on carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT), a measure of sub-clinical atherosclerosis.METHODS: The IMPROVE is a multicenter European study (n = 3,711). The association of plasma IL-8 with c-IMT (mm) was estimated by quantile regression. Genotyping was performed using the Illumina CardioMetabo and Immuno chips. Replication was attempted in three inde

Chronic coronary syndrome is a clinical diagnosis based on medical history and risk factors. To confirm diagnosis, an anatomical or functional assessment is recommended. Selection of diagnostic test is guided by clinical likelihood, patient characteristics, local expertise and availability. If the likelihood is low to intermediate, coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is recommended; if

Asylkommissionen har bildats av forskare och personer med omfattande kunskap om migration och asylsökandes liv och villkor i Sverige, med syfte att initiera en granskning som utgår från asylsökandes levda erfarenheter och perspektiv. Bakgrunden till kommissionen är de återkommande rapporterna om en svår situation bland barn, unga och vuxna asylsökande, såsom oförutsägbara och inhumana beslut, ökan

We propose a consensus definition of "an exaggerated orthostatic pressor response" in subjects in whom systolic blood pressure increases ≥ 20 mmHg when going from supine to standing posture. This definition can be extended for seated to standing measurements. We reserve the term "orthostatic hypertension" for when this pressor response leads to an upright systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg. We bel

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

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

Det övergripande syftet med studien är att fördjupa förståelsen av begreppet kommunal kapacitet och dess olika aspekter. Mer specifikt beskrivs hur företrädare inom den kommunala sektorn uppfattar och hanterar upplevda utmaningar inom samhällsbyggnadsområdet. Ambitionen är att skapa en nyanserad och strukturerad bild av kommunernas kapacitet att delta i och påverka samhällsbyggandet med lokalpolitThe overall purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of the concept of municipal capacity and its various aspects. More specifically, the report describes how representatives within the municipal sector perceive and address perceived challenges in urban development. In doing so, the ambition is to create a nuanced and structured view of municipalities’ capacity to participate in and in
