This study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the

Communication today is not something merely taking place face to face, technology such as the internet and social media channels have opened up for endless interactions taking place in the online world. User generated content in the form of online travel reviews come with many challenges and opportunities for organizations. User generated content has been shown to impact a travelers decision in al

Objectives To study informed consent to midwifery practices and interventions during the second stage of labor and to investigate the association between informed consent and experiences of these practices and interventions and women's experiences of the second stage of labor. Methods This study uses an observational design with data from a follow-up questionnaire sent to women one month after giv

The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö

Pollinators provide valuable ecosystem services to agricultural landscapes; however, they are threatened by several factors of decline. Particularly for wild pollinator species, the effects of stressors neither individually nor in interaction with each other are well understood. Pesticide use is known to impart various lethal and sublethal effects on pollinator populations, and this use is likely

The low-carbon benefits and emissions savings from circular economy (CE) strategies are not yet well understood, yet are crucial for global development within Planetary Boundaries. Using the mineral fraction of waste incinerator bottom ash (MIBA) as construction material in road construction is one application of a CE strategy that could lead to environmental gains by substituting energy-intensive

Geofysiska metoder används vid alla tunnelbyggnadsprojekt då geotekniska beskrivningar och modeller baseras på resultat från dessa. Detaljerade redogörelser för markförhållanden och information om djupet till berggrunden är av intresse, och med geofysiska metoder kan dessa parametrar utvärderas. Detta arbete är baserat på geofysiska undersökningar med fokus på de geoelektriska metoderna. MetodernaIn all tunnel construction projects geophysical methods are important as a foundation for engineering geological conceptual models. Detailed information about the condition and the physical properties of rocks at depth is desirable, and geophysical methods have the potential to exploit these properties. This work is based on geophysical investigations with focus on the geoelectrical methods. The m

I Bottniska bassängen i östra delen av centrala Sverige, finns ett antal intrusioner av tidig- och sensvekofenniska granitoider. Det aktuella undersökningsområdet består av ett sensvekofenniskt granitmassiv, beläget ca fyra km väster om Örnsköldsvik. Förutom de bergarter som tidigare definierats: själevadgranit, bergomgranit och paddalgranit, förekommer även sörbölegranit och billsjögranit. Sörböl

Purpose: In this study, we explore the relationship between social jetlag (SJL), a parameter of circadian misalignment, and gut microbial composition, diet and cardiometabolic health in the ZOE PREDICT 1 cohort (NCT03479866). Methods: We assessed demographic, diet, cardiometabolic, stool metagenomics and postprandial metabolic measures (n = 1002). We used self-reported habitual sleep (n = 934) to

Background: Brief Admission by self-referral is a preventive intervention here intended for individuals who recurrently self-harm and have a history of contact with emergency psychiatric services. Individuals with access to Brief Admission are empowered to self-admit to inpatient care for up to three days per stay and are encouraged to do so before experiencing crisis. Brief Admission was implemen

Under senare år har arbetet mot organiserad brottslighet i Sverige trappats upp. I september 2019 lanserades 34-punktsprogrammet, ett åtgärdspaket innehållande en rad förslag på åtgärder att vidta i syfte att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten. Inom ramen för detta program har frågan om att utvidga den interimistiska beslutsordningen beträffande hemliga tvångsmedel blivit aktuell. Förevarand

Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera ett nytt mått på psykologisk flexibilitet respektive inflexibilitet samt utforska hur psykologisk flexibilitet, mätt med detta nya mått, förhåller sig till psykiatriska symtom, upplevd livskvalitet samt ett tidigare etablerat mått på psykologisk flexibilitet. Studien syftade även till att undersöka huruvida varians i upplevd livskvalitet kan sägas medierasThe aim of this study was to evaluate a new measure of psychological flexibility and inflexibility and to investigate how psychological flexibility, measured with this new instrument, relates to psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, and to a commonly used measure of psychological inflexibility. A second aim was to investigate whether variation in perceived quality of life is mediated statisticall

OBJECTIVE: Anemia during early pregnancy (EP) is common in developing countries and is associated with adverse health consequences for both mother and children. Offspring of women with EP anemia often have low birth-weight, the latter being a risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D) later in life. Mechanisms underlying developmental programming of adult cardiometabo

Background: Many ice hockey goaltending techniques force hip joints and groin muscles into extreme ranges of motion, which may increase the risk of hip and groin problems. Purpose: To explore how elite goaltenders and goaltending coaches perceive the demands of common goaltending techniques on the hip and groin region. We further explored differences in perception between goaltenders and their coa
