The paranormal has gone mainstream. Beliefs are on the rise, with almost half of the British population, and two thirds of Americans, claiming to believe in extra sensory perceptions and hauntings.

In the last couple of decades, countries have enacted new laws concerning environmental pollution caused by heavy-duty commercial and passenger vehicles. This is done mainly in an effort to reduce smog and health impacts caused by the different pollutions. One of the legislated pollutions, among a wide range of regulated pollutions, is nitrogen oxides (commonly abbreviated as NOx).

The aim of this study was to illuminate the meanings of being critically ill in a sound-intensive ICU patient room, as disclosed through patients' narratives. Patient rooms in ICUs are filled with loud activity and studies have revealed sound levels comparable to those of a busy road above the patient's head. There is a risk that the sound or noise is disturbing and at worst a major problem for th

International studies have noted shortcomings in food safety knowledge and behaviour among university students. In general students do not constitute a pronounced risk group but there are wider implications. In a foreseeable future some of them will become pregnant and a majority will be responsible for vulnerable groups in their near environment. A crucial question exists, therefore, about their

Popular Abstract in English The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in epidemic proportions around the globe. This epidemic accounts for huge health and economic burdens as a leading cause for morbidity and mortality. The development of these diseases is very complex and involves both genetic and lifestyle factors. The shift to sedentary lifestyles anType 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle interactions using the strongest T2D and CVD susceptibility genetic loci and to understand the causal natur

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige finns cirka 350 000 personer med diabetes. Motsvarande siffra i hela världen är cirka 350 miljoner människor och forskning talar för att antalet personer med diabetes kommer att öka dramatiskt under de närmsta decennierna. Den största ökningen sker i utvecklingsländer i urbana områden, till stor del beroende på livsstilsförändringar och förändringar i diet. UtSpecific aims: To examine whether the sociodemographic characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes affect the odds of reaching the recommended treatment goals for HbA1c and blood lipids (study 1). To investigate whether the odds of coronary heart disease are higher in patients with diabetes living in deprived neighborhoods than in those living in wealthy neighborhoods (Study 2). To examine th

Many pregnant women experience fear, worry or anxiety relating to the upcoming childbirth. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate possible subgroups in a sample of 206 pregnant women (mean age 29.4 years), reporting fear of birth in mid-pregnancy. Comparisons were made between nulliparous and parous women. In a series of cluster analyses, validated psychological instruments were

ObjectiveThe focus of this study was on the impact of spousal loss on the development of chronic pain thereafter. More specifically, the aim was to investigate the effect of experiencing low preparedness before a wife's death and the widower's chronic pain 4-5 years after loss. MethodsIn a population-based study in the years 2004-2005, anonymous questionnaires were sent out to 907 men in Sweden wh
