Background: Dementia is a growing public health concern, and although diet is a modifiable potential risk factor, the role of free sugar intake remains unclear. Excess sugar has been linked to metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction, both associated with cognitive decline, but evidence regarding specific sugar sources is limited. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the associations betwee

Background: The incidence of pancreatic cancer (PC) and autoimmune diseases (ADs) has been increasing worldwide. While certain associations between specific ADs, such as pancreatitis, and PC have long been well confirmed, population-focused research investigating the broader spectrum of ADs and their relationship with PC risk remains limited. Methods: We implemented a cohort study based on populat

I ett litet skånskt vattendrag hittades förhöjda halter av så kallade ”evighetskemikalier” som kan innebära risker för livet under ytan. Trots att vattnet ser rent ut visar mätningar att påverkan från industri och avloppsvatten är större än vad man tidigare känt till. PFAS är en stor grupp industrikemikalier med mycket goda vatten-, fett- och smutsavvisande egenskaper samt hög kemisk- och värmestFreshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by persistent chemical pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which pose long-term risks to both ecosystems and human health. Small streams downstream of urban and industrial areas are often underrepresented in monitoring programmes, despite their potential vulnerability to PFAS contamination. Furthermore, environmental r

Early-life adversity negatively affects morbidity and survival in late life, but knowledge is limited about effects on women’s reproduction and reproductive health. To deepen our understanding of the full effects of disease exposure in early life, including long-term consequences, we study women’s reproductive outcomes and their offspring’s health. Using the Scanian Economic Demographic Database a

Background: Less adults with cerebral palsy (CP) lives independently, compared to adults without disabilities. Access to personal assistance may help overcome barriers to independent living. Also, little is known about hand function in adults with CP, and the role of hand function in achieving independent living remains unexplored. Objective: To explore the associations between housing and persona

The world faces a shared challenge in slowing climate change and mitigating its effects. As part of addressing this challenge, innovation is driving regulatory and non-regulatory building development, product advancement and research aimed at delivering a more sustainable built environment. However, the built environment also needs to be resilient to a wide range of hazards. Sustainability and res

Higher socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with lower mortality. This has been confirmedusing different indicators across several geographical settings. Nevertheless, the mechanismsbehind this association are still under debate. In particular, the timing of the emergence of theSES gradient remains an open question. In this paper, we study the development of SESinequalities in cause-specific m

Arctic permafrost plays an important role in global carbon storage and has been thawing due to rising temperatures imparted by climate change. Monitoring the active layer thickness (ALT), the seasonally thawing and refreezing uppermost permafrost layer, is essential for understanding permafrost dynamics and their response to warming temperatures. Traditional ALT monitoring relies on ground-based m

Stora och gamla ekar – framtiden för eklandskapets arter Stora och gamla ekar spelar en viktig roll för den biologiska mångfalden. När en ek åldras utvecklar den olika stamstrukturer, till exempel grov bark, döda grenar, blottad ved och håligheter fyllda med mulm, det vill säga en ansamling av nedbrutet organiskt material. Dessa strukturer skapar livsmiljöer för en stor mängd arter, bland annat iLarge and old trees provide important habitat structures and support a high diversity of species. Habitat continuity and landscape connectivity is crucial for species associated with oaks. Fragmentation, agriculture intensification and changed forest management has caused a reduction of old and large oaks, which threatens the long-term persistence of oak associated species by reducing habitat cont

Several scholarly works have identified the weakness of mainstream social science and the humanities to theorize racism. The sociology of absence grasps the systematic exclusion of specific experiences and specific voices within social theory. We are inspired by these contributions in our exploration of the role and the location of the category of residents racialized as not belonging to the Swedi

Purpose. Continuous minor steps of improvement in the management of breast cancer have resulted in decreased mortality rates during the last decades. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of patients with stage I breast cancer diagnosed during two time periods that differed with respect to adjuvant systemic therapy. Material and methods. The studied population consisted of all

Fast och slow fashion, skillnader och likheter i användningen av återvunnen syntetisk fiber. Modeindustrin är bland de industrier som bidrar till de största miljömässiga problemen vad gäller utsläpp av växthusgaser, kemikalie- och vattenanvändning samt ohållbara avfall. Nu står de inför en förändring i att bli en mer hållbar industri, pådriven både från statligt håll samt från konsumenters håll.The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. Communicating products' sustainable footprint has become an ess

The aim of this essay is to gain insight into how audiovisual input is used in the classroom as a tool to teach vocabulary. This is done by exploring the use of digital audiovisual input in the form of film, documentaries, short videos, and cultural video content in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Audiovisual input contains a few key elements: audio, video, and on-screen text; t

En avsevärd anomali i jordens globala kolcykel, känd som Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE), finns dokumenterad i lagerföljder från Hirnantetagen, i slutet av Ordovicium för cirka 445 miljoner år sedan. Anomalin är kopplad till den samtida globala nedkylningen, bildande av inlandisar och ett massutdöende – Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). Denna studie undersöker lagerföljder från övThe Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE) is a major anomaly in Earths global carbon cycle at the end of the Ordovician time period, at ca 445 Ma. The anomaly is intimately associated with substantial cooling of the global climate, expansion of continental ice-sheets and the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). The present study investigates the Upper Ordovician to the lowermost Silurian s
