Persistent organohalogen pollutants (POPs) have been suggested to be involved in changing the proportion of ejaculated Y-bearing sperm. The androgen receptor (AR), aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor (AHRR) may modulate the effect of POPs with regard to previously observed sperm Y : X ratio changes. The objective of this study was to investigate whether sperm Y

[1] Mires are key landscape elements at high latitudes and have certainly accumulated carbon during the Holocene, but their current carbon balance at the present time is very unclear. The major carbon flux is the land-atmosphere CO2 exchange and full-year data are still limited. Here we present data from 3 a (2001-2003) of continuous Eddy Covariance measurements at Degero Stormyr (64 degrees 11'N,

Context: First-degree relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes (FH+) have been shown to have decreased energy expenditure and decreased expression of mitochondrial genes in skeletal muscle. In previous studies, it has been difficult to distinguish whether mitochondrial dysfunction and differential regulation of genes are primary (genetic) or due to reduced physical activity, obesity, or other co

In the centre of Malmö, Caroli Church stands in quiet suspension—its doors closed, its future uncertain. Neither abandoned nor alive, it occupies a space between preservation and possibility. In a society where churches are increasingly disconnected from their original function, the question lingers: what becomes of the sacred when it no longer serves the ritual? And who, ultimately, decides what

Aims: Social science literature suggests that unlimited trust in others may lead to adverse outcomes, and that moderate trust may be more optimal in social interactions. The aim was to analyze associations between generalized trust in other people and all-cause mortality using a four-alternative generalized trust item that includes moderate trust. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: T

Industrial redevelopment has become an increasingly pressing urban challenge as cities expand and central industrial areas are drawn into the evolving urban fabric. While regeneration projects often succeed in giving former industrial sites new roles, the preservation of the industrial legacy is frequently reduced due to the conflicting demands between industrial and central urban functions. What

We investigate whether the eye parameter of bumblebees—a visual trait measuring the tradeoff between light sensitivity and visual resolution—is associated with: (i) local habitats, (ii) forest cover at the landscape scale (1 km radius), and (iii) the shade tolerance of the plants they forage on. The association of bumblebee species with local habitat and forest cover at the landscape scale was ana

Perturbed secretion of insulin and other pancreatic islet hormones is the main cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The islets harbor five cell types that are potentially altered differently by T2D. Whole-islet transcriptomics and single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNAseq) studies have revealed differentially expressed genes without reaching consensus. Here, we demonstrate that further insights into T2D dis

CONTEXT: Statin use is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes and mild hyperglycemia. The underlying mechanisms are not well studied and the effect of statin treatment on GLP-1 secretion or production are unknown.OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of rosuvastatin on GLP-1 secretion and production.METHODS: We performed association studies in the Malmö Diet and Cancer study cardiovascular c

Purpose: To investigate how the nation brand and country-of-origin of China jointly influence the European consumers’ perceptions towards Chinese smartphone brands. The reputation of Chinese smartphone brands in Europe is shaped by European consumers' concerns about China's national image over their global success and technological advancements. Hence, this study focuses on how these perce

Purpose: There are limited data to show how sex impacts the early clinical course of patients with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR). This study aimed to explore potential sex related disparities in the preoperative, surgical, and early postoperative course of HSCR patients. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data of HSCR patients who underwent pull-through surgery at pediatric surgery centers i

Co-speech head and eyebrow gestures often align with pitch accents in spoken language production, thereby likely instantiating what we could refer to as multimodal prominence. Indeed, when speech is perceived audio-visually, controlled experimental studies have shown that both pitch accents and head and eyebrow gestures, when independently manipulated, have sizable effects on perceived prominence.

Peatland trees are valuable archives of paleoclimatic information; however, gaps persist in understanding the relationships between tree growth, peatland hydrology, and hydroclimate variables. While previous research in peatlands has mainly focused on tree-ring widths (TRW), yielding inconclusive results, the potential of stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotopes in tree rings remains unexpl

Upplevt socialt stöd, självkännedom och självmedkänsla är faktorer som tidigare visat sig hänga samman med tonåringars livstillfredsställelse och psykiska ohälsa i flera tvärsnittsstudier. Denna studie hade för avsikt att undersöka hur de ovan nämnda variablerna förhåller sig till varandra över tre år och om sambanden mellan socialt stöd och livstillfredsställelse respektive psykisk ohälsa medieraPerceived social support, self-awareness and self-compassion are factors that have previously been shown to be associated with adolescent life-satisfaction and psychological distress in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to examine how these variables relate to each other over three years and whether the relationship between perceived social support and well-being, as well as psych

Konstnärligt uttryck är en väsentlig del av musikutövandet och påverkar hur vi upplever musik såväl som vilka musikaliska val vi tar, ofta baserat på vilken genre vi är inom. Begreppet används i syftesbeskrivningen för musikämnet på gymnasiet och i betygskriterierna rangordnas begreppet utefter kvalitét, utan att definiera vad konstnärligt uttryck innebär. Syftet med denna studie är därför att und

Denna uppsats granskar det komplexa rättsläget kring "joint bidding" inom offentlig upphandling och analyserar specifikt konsekvenserna av uteslutningsgrunden i 13 kap. 3 § p. 4 LOU. Uppsatsen undersöker i vilken utsträckning konkurrensrätten kan tillämpas på "joint bidding" och hur uteslutningsgrunden påverkar denna samarbetsform vid offentliga upphandlingar. Konkurrensrättens
