Denna rapport analyserar framväxten av hundvänlig turism i Sverige och belyser dess betydelse för besöksnäringens utveckling. Studien visar att hunden i allt högre grad betraktas som en familjemedlem, vilket påverkar resenärers beteenden, val av destination och konsumtionsmönster. Hundägare utgör en reseaktiv och kommersiellt attraktiv målgrupp som främst reser inom Sverige och efterfrågar naturba

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome affects approximately 90% of US adults, arising from the convergence of metabolic dysfunction, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). These conditions create self-reinforcing cycles of multiorgan damage, substantially increasing mortality risk. The American Heart Association’s 2023 staging framework stratifies CKM from stage 0

The 1990s were significant for several events promoting environmental protection and the sustainable use of natural resources. For instance, both the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, which stressed the need to stop the overconsumption of natural resources and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change endorsed a framework to combat climate change. Si

The electrification of the transportation sector is a central strategy for decarbonization, yet it raises concerns about the capacity of existing electric power grids to meet increasing demand. This thesis investigates the interaction between large-scale electrified vehicle fleets and the electric power system under the assumption of full transport electrification. The focus is on assessing the re

Collaborative governance networks are increasingly central to local climate action, yet research offers limited understanding of the personal, psychological, and informal factors that sustain engagement within them. This paper examines how such networks facilitate meaningful and lasting participation through an in-depth study of Malmö Works, a long-standing public–private collaboration focused on

The chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) plays an important role as chemoattractant for monocytes in atherosclerosis. It is established that MCP-1 is produced by vascular smooth muscle cells, but the underlying mechanisms for its release are not identified. Here, we investigate production and secretion of MCP-1 in primary human coronary artery smooth muscle cells. We demonstrate th

Background: Increasing healthcare demands and a growing nursing shortage contribute to high workloads, psychosocial strain, and risks to care quality. Organisational conditions, job demands, and resources strongly influence nurses’ well-being, retention, and performance. Aim: To examine how nurses balance organisational demands and opportunities, and how these factors relate to work environment, w

Pandemics are a recurring phenomenon that, in addition to their devastating effects on human life and health, have profound economic, social, and political consequences, affecting national and international security. The framing and subsequent management of pandemics by different state actors is therefore an important research topic. Securitization theory has for the past three decades been a cent

Housing preferences in later life vary, and housing decisions are complex. While much attention has been paid to health and accessibility, less is known about how financial factors influence housing decisions among older homeowners. This qualitative study aimed to deepen understanding of how single-family homeowners aged 55 and older reason about their housing situation. We conducted focus groups

AIM: Tenascin C (TNC) is a large extracellular matrix glycoprotein. It is involved in development and upregulated both during tissue repair and in several pathological conditions, including cardiovascular disease. Extracellular matrix proteins play a role in promoting exercise responses, leading to adaptation, regeneration, and repair. The main goal of this study was to investigate whether a short
