Introduction. Fava beans are an increasingly popular and viable crop, and an excellent nutritious choice for novel plant-based food products. Fava beans are industrially underexploited as a food ingredient and are today mainly used as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk. While soy milk dominates the legume-based beverage segment, the
When a child is diagnosed with diabetes, the symptoms may be in its most severe form with ketoacidosis, to mild symptoms of diabetes, detected incidentally. Moderate and severe symptoms of diabetes presentation require infusion therapy and thereby necessitate hospitalisation for the first few days. The initial management is largely a preparation for family members to help them gain the practical u
System Thinking is the mindset of defining and confining a problem and its symptoms as well as a method for communicating system understanding. System Analysis is taking that problem apart to understand its causalities and structural arrangement. System Dynamics is the use of the results of System Analysis in order to reconstruct the system of causalities. Modelling is used for understanding comp
Business challenges today are becoming more numerous, and more urgent. Many companies are expanding beyond their traditional product and market boundaries, while others are forming new alliances or outsourcing supporting functions to other producers. The concept of product-service system (PSS), analysed in this study, has the potential to improve companies’ competitiveness and provide new business
IMPORTANCE: Behavior therapy is a recommended intervention for Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD), but availability is limited and long-term effects are uncertain.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term efficacy and cost-effectiveness of therapist-supported, internet-delivered exposure and response prevention (ERP) vs psychoeducation for youths with TS or CTD.DESIGN, SETTING, AN
Forskning om mobbning i skolan har ägnat avsevärd uppmärksamhet åt att undersöka vilken roll åskådare (elever som bevittnar mobbning eller vet att den pågår) spelar i att påverka antalet mobbningsfall. Omfattande forskningsfynd har visat att ingripande från kamrater är väsentligt för att minska mobbningsbeteenden och följaktligen har efterföljande studier sökt avgöra vilka faktorer som bidrar tillResearch on school bullying has devoted a considerable amount of attention to investigating the roles of bystanders – the students who witness bullying or know that it is occurring – in bullying episodes. Numerous findings have shown that peer intervention is essential for reducing bullying behaviors; consequently, subsequent studies have examined which factors contribute to increasing the number
IMPORTANCE: An accurate blood test for Alzheimer disease (AD) could streamline the diagnostic workup and treatment of AD.OBJECTIVE: To prospectively evaluate a clinically available AD blood test in primary care and secondary care using predefined biomarker cutoff values.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: There were 1213 patients undergoing clinical evaluation due to cognitive symptoms who were exa
Abstract: Breast cancers are heterogeneous tumours. Prognostic markers are needed to better profile the patient´s risk, and predictive markers to indicate the expected benefit of systemic treatment. Using gene expression analyses, breast tumours can be divided into intrinsic subtypes. Immunohistochemical (IHC) markers (oestrogen and progesterone receptors (ER and PR), human epidermal growth facto
Importance: There is currently no consensus as to which biomarkers best predict longitudinal tau accumulation at different clinical stages of Alzheimer disease (AD). Objective: To describe longitudinal [18F]RO948 tau positron emission tomography (PET) findings across the clinical continuum of AD and determine which biomarker combinations showed the strongest associations with longitudinal tau PET
Partnervåld utgör ett allvarligt samhällsproblem med omfattande konsekvenser för både individer och samhälle. För att minska risken för skada till följd av problemet behöver socialtjänsten arbeta med både primär och sekundär prevention. Ett effektivt förebyggande arbete förutsätter emellertid kunskap om den tidsmässiga ordningen och variationen av riskfaktorer som är förknippade med utövande av paIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social issue with profound consequences for individuals and society. To reduce the risk of harm caused by IPV perpetration, social services need to engage in both primary and secondary prevention efforts targeting the issue. However, effective preventive work requires knowledge about the temporal sequence and variability of risk factors associated with
Background: Recent research indicates a favourable influence of postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) if initiated early, but not late, on subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the clinical relevance of timing of HT initiation for hard end points such as stroke remains to be determined. Further, no previous research has considered the timing of initiation of HT in relation to haemorrhagic stroke ris
Maten handlar om vår fysiska överlevnad, men maten har också viktiga sociala funktioner i familjen/hushållet. I vår undersökningen ser vi hur konsumtionen ser ut i familjerna; konsumtionen blir en utbytesprocess mellan barn och föräldrar, mellan flickor och pojkar. Rapporten baserar sig på en empirisk studie med gruppintervjuer med 7-8 åriga barn från fyra nordiska länder, Sverige, Norge, Danmark Food is essential for our survival, but food has important social functions in the family/household as well. In our study we examine how consumption looks in the family; consumption becomes a process of exchange between children and parents, and between girls and boys. The report is based on an empirical study consisting of group interviews with 7-8 year old children from four Nordic countries: Sw
Nanowire (NW) based devices provide bright possibilities for many different applications [1]. The use of block copolymers (BCPs) for nanopatterning of dielectric masks for selective area metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of III-V nanowires [2] and for NW-device applications [3] has a great potential, when it comes to increasing the NW density and reducing their diameters, which is importan
There is a strong relationship between regional sediment transport and the local processes at tidal inlets and around coastal structures. Many coastal projects require quantitative understanding of these processes and the interactions between them. Regional sediment transport and shoreline evolution models that fully include important coastal processes at local scale are lacking at present. The ov
Svår fetma är ett svårbehandlat tillstånd och hittills har fetmakirurgi visat sig vara den metod som ger den största och mest beständiga viktminskningen över längre tid. Fetmakirurgi har tidigare endast erbjudits vuxna både i Sverige och i andra länder. Under senare år har fetmakirurgi börjat prövas som ett behandlingsalternativ till ungdomar med svår fetma där annan behandling inte har gett tillr
Floder och åar är viktiga källor för järn och andra näringsämnen till Östersjön. De senaste decennierna har järnkoncentrationen i svenska och finska åar ökat kraftigt, vilket skulle kunna leda till en ökad transport av järn till Östersjön. Vilken effekt detta kan ha för Östersjön beror på vad som händer med järnet när det möter det salta vattnet i Östersjön. Järn transporteras huvudsakligen i formRivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. Recent studies have suggested that Fe speciation is a key
Avhandlingens titel "Kustnära yrkesfiske i förändring. Från mångsysslare till entreprenör" hänvisar till de förändringar som fiskenäringen har genomgått under flera decennier. Fiskenäringen har rationaliserats samtidigt som besöksnäringen vid kusten expanderat. Antalet yrkesfiskare i kustnära yrkesfiske har därför minskat och näringen måste förhålla sig till nya informella krav och förväntningar pIn this dissertation inshore commercial fisheries are being studied from a cultural analytical perspective with a focus on service production and hospitality. The dissertation title, ”Inshore commercial fisheries in change. From pluri-activity to entrepreneurship”, refers to the multiple kinds of change that the fishing industry has undergone for a long period in time. They include rationalization
Background: Cluster analyses have proposed different diabetes phenotypes using age, BMI, glycaemia, homoeostasis model estimates, and islet autoantibodies. We tested whether comprehensive phenotyping validates and further characterises these clusters at diagnosis and whether relevant diabetes-related complications differ among these clusters, during 5-years of follow-up. Methods: Patients with new
