Objective Obesity is a well-known risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD), but there is little evidence on the effect of long-term trajectories of body mass index (BMI) over the life course. By using repeated assessments, the aim was to study the risk of CHD in adults during 38 years in different trajectories of BMI. Methods A sample of 2129 men and women, aged 20-59 years at baseline, took p
Introduction. Conduct disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by repetitive and persistent norm-breaking behavior. This study aimed to compare the risk of conduct disorder between first-and second-generation immigrant children and adolescents and their native controls. Methods.

In Burkina Faso, the recent emergence of the “koglweogo” vigilante groups is often explained as a result of a “security vacuum.” This explanation, however, tends to depoliticize the power relations that underlie the phenomenon of vigilantism. In this article we analyze the justifications for the emergence and work of koglweogo groups and for the national policy of community-based policing that aim
Abstract in Spanish:Este estudio presenta un análisis de las cubiertas de una selección de novelas negras suecas, publicadas en Grecia y en el mundo hispanohablante durante el periodo de 2000-2017. Las imágenes de cubierta son importantes en el sistema paratextual (Genette, 1991); a partir de las teorías sobre el paratexto aplicadas al campo de los estudios de traducción, proponemos comparar las cThis study is an analysis of the book cover images of a selection of Swedish crime literature, published in Greece and the Spanish-speaking world in the period of 2000-2017. Covers are crucial to the paratextual signal system (Genette, 1991); departing from theories on paratext within translation studies, we aim to compare the original book covers to the covers of the translated volumes.

This paper reviews the current literature regarding iron oxide formation in the wheel-rail contact in order to assess the possible role of iron oxides in the “Wet-Rail” phenomenon, which causes low adhesion between the wheel and the rail. The paper discusses the structure and formation of oxides from a chemical perspective before analysing the direct tribological effects and outlining the techniqu
SyfteMålsättningen med denna studie var dels att säkerställa att tågpersonalen inte utsätts för höga halter av partiklar i sitt arbete på X60B fordon som trafikerar Arlanda. Syftet var även att ta fram ett förhållande mellan partikelnivåerna i tunnelmiljö och ombord på pendeltågsfordon av typ X60B i förarhytterna för att avgöra ventilationsfiltrets kapacitet. Kunskapen om filtreringseffektiviteten
