The Effect of Parental Loss on Social Mobility in Early-Twentieth Century Sweden

Parents are assumed to play a crucial role in the socioeconomic attainment of children. Through investments of both time and resources, they promote the ability, human capital, networks, and motivation of their children to advance socially, or at least to maintain their social position. Consequently, losing a parent in childhood could be detrimental to adult socioeconomic outcomes. We use full-cou

The risk of chronic kidney disease in relation to anthropometric measures of obesity : A Swedish cohort study

Background: It has been shown that individuals with obesity have a higher risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is unclear which measure of obesity is most useful for prediction of CKD in the general population. The aim of this large prospective study was to explore the association between several anthropometric measures of obesity, i. e., body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (W

Perceptions of participation and the role of gender for the engagement in solar energy communities in Sweden

Energy communities are emphasized by the EU as important for developing sustainable energy systems that include and engage many people. While many renewables are highly compatible with a more decentralized energy system, research indicates that participation in 'desirable' energy activities and energy decision-making is influenced by social and economic factors, including gender, economic status a

The narrow treatment road to survival: Everyday life perspectives of women with breast cancer from Iraq and the former Yugoslavia undergoing radiation therapy in Sweden

Studien syftade till att undersöka hur kvinnor från Irak och f.d. Jugoslavien, diagnostiserade med bröstcancer och boende i Sverige, upplever sin vardag under strålbehandling. En kvalitativ forskningsdesign användes som bestod av intervjuer med tio kvinnor, fem med ursprung i Irak och fem från f.d. Jugoslavien. Strävan för att överleva medförde att kvinnorna upplevde sin vardag under strålbehandli

Combined lifestyle factors and the risk of LADA and type 2 diabetes – Results from a Swedish population-based case-control study

Aims: We investigated the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes in relation to a healthy lifestyle, the proportion of patients attributable to an unhealthy lifestyle, and the influence of family history of diabetes (FHD) and genetic susceptibility. Methods: The population-based study included incident LADA (n = 571), type 2 diabetes (n = 1962), and matched control

The effect of nitrogen fertilization on tree growth, soil organic carbon and nitrogen leaching—a modeling study in a steep nitrogen deposition gradient in Sweden

Nitrogen (N) fertilization in forests has the potential to increase tree growth and carbon (C) sequestration, but it also means a risk of N leaching. Dynamic models can, if the important processes are well described, play an important role in assessing benefits and risks of nitrogen fertili-zation. The aim of this study was to test if the ForSAFE model is able to simulate correctly the effects of

The more the merrier? : Examining the relationship between emotional expressions and user engagement on Swedish nonprofits’ Facebook pages, 2014-2019

Organizations interact with their stakeholders to a large degree through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube ( Bellucci & Manetti, 2017). There are indications that there is an increase in the use of emotional language in organizations’ external communication in social media over time, since this is thought to generate more stakeholder engagement (Weinryb et al, 2021)

Elucidating causal effects of type 2 diabetes on ischemic heart disease from observational data on middle-aged Swedish women : a triangular analytical approach

The association between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) is well established but the potential causal association needs further studying. In an attempt to elucidate the causal effect of T2D on IHD, we used three different analytical approaches in two different datasets. A well-defined cohort of 6047 women aged 50–59 years were included at baseline (1995 to 2000) and followed
