Background: The Mediterranean dietary pattern is believed to protect against cancer, although evidence from cohort studies that have examined particular cancer sites is limited. Objective: We aimed to explore the association between adherence to a relative Mediterranean diet (rMED) and incident gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition stud
Hospital performance is frequently evaluated by analyzing differences between hospital averages in some quality indicators. The results are often expressed as quality charts of hospital variance (e.g., league tables, funnel plots). However, those analyses seldom consider patients heterogeneity around averages, which is of fundamental relevance for a correct evaluation. Therefore, we apply an innov
Irrespective of the abundance of solar energy resources, its access to the low-income communities of rural Tanzania is challenged by multifaceted barriers. Again, the current access goal in energy ignored the gender perspective of access. There is no alternative to establishing women-led solar energy enhancement initiatives to mitigate those access barriers and equally address gender inequality in
Inom modern investeringsrätt existerar sedan länge en konflikt mellan extensiva investeringsskyddsregler och värdländers allmänna intressen, och numera med exklusiv kompetens att sluta de internationella investeringsavtal som tangerar denna motsättning söker EU skydda de senare genom traktatens utformning. Som nödvändigt komplement till sådana konstruktioner menar dock förespråkare för allmänna inAt the heart of modern investment law it has since long resided a conflict between extensive investment protection norms and public policy interests of host states. After receiving exclusive competence to conclude international investment agreements governing this interrelation, the EU has tried to cater for those latter objectives through the design of these agreements. Yet in addition to treaty
In this report, hybrid films of carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) have been prepared to evaluate if the GNs can enhance the barrier properties of the CNF films. CNF already possess great barrier properties at low relative humidity (RH) but it is drastically lowered when the RH reaches above 50% due to its strong hydrophilicity of CNF. This report shows tha
Sierra Leone has struggled with high rates of adolescent pregnancy for some time and reports have shown an increase in these figures during and following the unprecedented Ebola Virus Disease outbreak from 2014 through 15. As young girls are impregnated, it has long been customary for girls to drop out of school. When schools re-opened after the Ebola crisis, this practice was formalized as the Mi
Previous literature suggests that the republic of Turkey is transforming from a democracy to an authoritarian country under Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’s rule. The Turkish government has introduced and implemented a series of events that organizes around the supreme power of the President - one major being the withdrawal from the Istanbul convention. The transformation affects the feminist movement
In recent years IT-solutions have had a big and fast progress in many areas and with this progress many opportunities have followed. The building industry has struggled to keep up with the progress IT has gone through, there for there are vast possibilities to use different IT-solutions in this industry today. This project focuses mainly on in what way IT-solutions can be used when building interi
Den svenska aktiebolagsrätten ger upphov till ett antal intressekonflikter mellan olika parter. En av dessa intressekonflikter är mellan aktieägarna och företagsledningen, där företagsledningen kan ha incitament att driva företaget på ett sätt som strider mot aktieägarnas bästa intresse. Kompe-tensfördelningen i aktiebolag är uppställt på så sätt att ägandet och kontrol-len för aktiebolaget kan i
Muntlig bevisning har länge medfört problem i den svenska hovrätten. När ett mål når den andra instansen har kvaliteten på muntlig bevisning blivit sämre, inte minst på grund av att minnesbilder hos förhörspersoner försvagas med tiden. Trots det har utgångspunkten, allt sedan det muntliga och omedelbara förfarandet introducerades genom 1948 års rättegångsbalk (RB), varit att principen om det bästaOral evidence has caused problems in the Swedish courts of appeals for a long time. When a case reaches the higher court, the quality of oral evidence has deteriorated, primarily because the recollections of witnesses and parties have weakened over time. The starting point has, nevertheless, been that the principle of the best evidence requires renewed questioning of witnesses and parties in the c
Metaphors is a vital and fundamental part of our intellectual abilities. We invent metaphors, but they construct our conceptual thinking in means that they decide in what way we think of phenomenas of which we have no clear knowledge about. To analyze the source domains from which the metaphors are taken is a most fruitful way of gaining information about a metaphor. In comparison to the target do
Old age is something that affects everyone, sooner or later and in different ways. The question on how to take care of older persons and support them when getting older might be more relevant now than ever, as the population over 60 years old is expected to grow with 40 percent in the coming 10 years. In an older human being, every age is preserved. In an 80-year-old mind there might live a little
The aim of this study is to research how the United Nations (UN) through the Security Council (SC) failed to act politically to protect the independence and human rights of Timor-Leste 1960-1999. 1960 Timor-Leste was acknowledged by the UN as a non-self-governing territory and so remained until the referendum of independence 1999. A trinitarian theory and method has been applied to contextualise a
Crowdfunding has rapidly gained popularity over the last decade and now accounts for tens of billions of dollars annually. Although the general public mainly perceives crowdfunding as an alternative means of getting funding, it has been demonstrated that there is a number of motives that entrepreneurs may have when launching a campaign on a crowdfunding platform. Despite that, little scholarly res
RegVis är en plattform som visualiserar nyckelvariabler inom regional utveckling och hur dessa förändras över tid och rum och hur de påverkar varandra. Genom kartor och grafer visualiseras sju variabler. Du kan välja att få en översiktlig bild av respektive variabel, eller fördjupa dig och jämföra variabler, geografiska områden etc med varandra.RegVis is a platform that visualizes key variables in regional development and how they change over time and space, as well as how they influence one another. Through maps and graphs, seven variables are displayed. You can choose to get an overview of each variable, or delve deeper and compare variables, geographic areas, etc. with one another.
Background: Although up to 25% of proximal humeral fractures are isolated greater tuberosity fractures (IGTFs), comprehensive epidemiological data are lacking. Objectives: Describe the epidemiology and time trends of IGTF in Malmö, Sweden, 1944–2020. Methods: We identified IGTF in Malmö residents (≥18 years) by reviewing relevant radiology examinations during 17 sample years from 1944 to 2020. Fra
Using the EU as case study, we simulate the impact of border carbon adjustments on agri-food markets. While border carbon adjustments alleviate adverse carbon price impacts on EU agricultural competitiveness and emission leakage, our simulation results also reveal that (i) border carbon adjustments may diminish domestic mitigation efforts, thereby partly offsetting benefits from reduced emission l
