Introduction: Limited prospective evidence is available to guide selection of first-line maintenance therapy in patients with COPD. This pre-specified analysis of the EMAX trial explored the efficacy and safety of dual-versus mono-bronchodilator therapy in maintenance-naïve and maintenance-treated patients. Methods: The 24-week EMAX trial evaluated lung function, symptoms (including rescue medicat
BACKGROUND: Obesity, assessed by body mass index (BMI), is an established risk factor for 13 cancers. We aimed to identify further potential obesity-related cancers and to quantify their association with BMI relative to that of established obesity-related cancers.METHODS: Using Cox regression models on 4,142,349 individuals in Sweden (mean age 27.1 years at weight measurement), we calculated hazar
The basement membrane (BM) is a specialized layer of extracellular matrix components that plays a central role in maintaining lung and kidney functions. Although the composition of the BM is usually tissue specific, the lung and the kidney preferentially use similar BM components. Unsurprisingly, diseases with BM defects often have severe pulmonary or renal manifestations, sometimes both. Excessiv
AI technologies have led to new ways of thinking about data, knowledge, and organizations. Despite the arguments that data speak for themselves, the era of datafication demands revisiting data and knowledge and reflecting on new ways of theorizing. Considering that working with data is important for most employees, there is a need to investigate how the knowing of data can be achieved. In this pap
From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) arrived in Sweden and sought asylum. The Church of Sweden has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. Conversion to Christianity among asylum seekers in Europe is a well-documented phenomenon that is often dismissed as merely a strategy to boost asylum chances. This dissertation
The Asian Dragon is challenging the economic hegemony of the United States but at the same time depends on energy imports to sustain its economic growth. Most of China's Oil comes from the Middle East and Africa, and the supply passes through the Indian Ocean and the Malacca Strait, a critical choke point. Western literature has extended the idea of String of Pearls -denied by China-, consisti
In the beginning of 2012, on the 25th of January, Egyptians celebrated the first anniversary of Egyptian Revolution, while Bahrain’s anniversary of the February 14 Revolution was marked by violent protest demanding social, political and economic reforms and an end to discriminating policies. Even though one year passed since these revolutionary movements spread from Tunisia all over the Arab world
Due to drying trends in the tropical and subtropical areas there is a potential for significant vegetation loss. As this occurs previous literature has predicted significant increases in desert area, further exacerbated by vegetation-albedo feedback with radiation in climate change. This study analyses this phenomenon at a smaller local scale over an area of 100 x 100 km in the middle of Chad. The
This thesis examines how the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) in Myanmar has employed nonviolent acts of resistance to challenge the military regime following the 2021 coup. It does so by departing from the micro-sociology of peace and conflict, with specific attention to the micro-sociology of nonviolent resistance. Guided by qualitative content analysis, supported by both visual and textual mat
Under the global carbon neutrality agenda, emission reduction in China’s heavy-duty transport sector is becoming urgent, though the transition faces multiple barriers. Despite China’s leading position in new energy heavy-duty trucks, gaps remain at the strategic and policy levels. This thesis, based on the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and Policy Challenge theory, uses policy content analysis, hot
