Aim: This study evaluates the health effects of plant-based dairy alternatives in healthy individuals and those with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Specifically, it investigates whether replacing one daily meal with a plant-based alternative has a positive impact on intestinal microbiota composition and gut health. It also investigates whether the effect of probiotic bacteria in yogurt depends

Background: Obesity is a chronic disease linked to over 200 health conditions, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Despite the availability of multimodal treatments, there is a lack of standardised, patient-centred outcome measures to effectively assess and improve clinical care. This project aimed to define a core set of standardised outcome measures for adults with obesity, incorpo

Microplastic (MP) pollution is increasingly recognized as a critical issue in coastal environments, where complex interactions between ocean currents, winds, waves, and human activities govern the transport and deposition of synthetic particles. Although previous studies in Asia have documented MPs accumulation linked to riverine discharge, tourism pressures, and monsoonal circulation, limited wor

This paper summarized the efforts performed to understand decay heat estimation from existing spent nuclear fuel (SNF), under the auspices of the Working Party on Nuclear Criticality Safety (WPNCS) of the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency. Needs for precise estimations are related to safety, cost, and optimization of SNF handling, storage, and repository. The physical origins of decay heat (a more correc

Antibiotic resistance poses a global threat. Antibiotics are administered to 80-90% of terminally ill patients but evidence of their effectiveness in improving survival or symptom relief at the end of life (EOL) is scarce. To determine the proportion of deceased patients that continue antibiotic treatment after documented EOL discussion and the decision to prioritise symptom relief over active tre

Importance Longitudinal data are crucial for understanding rapid population aging in East and Southeast Asia, yet challenges in establishing and managing infrastructures remain undocumented.Objective To investigate challenges and adaptations across longitudinal aging datasets in East and Southeast Asia and synthesize stakeholder-informed processes and recommendations to guide future study design

Background: Ambulatory oxygen therapy can be used to treat exertional hypoxaemia during daily life activities in people with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). However, evidence for its efficacy is scarce. This trial aimed to compare the effects of ambulatory oxygen with ambulatory air on physical activity in daily life over 6 months in people with fibrotic ILD and isolated exertional hypox

Sweden has experienced pronounced long-run fluctuations in fertility since the mid-twentieth century, alongside persistent within-year seasonality in births. While many fertility movements can be interpreted ex post in relation to economic conditions, cohort size, and institutional reforms, a central practical challenge is ex ante: when does an emerging decline become statistically detectable as t

Environmental claims have become a familiar feature of fashion marketing. On social media, however, they are rarely communicated in isolation. A state ment about recycled materials may appear alongside personal styling, aesthetic imagery and an influencer's endorsement. The challenge for EU consumer law is that the environmental meaning of such content may not lie in the wording alone, but in

Vegetation phenology is closely affected by climate conditions and can be used to understand how vegetation responds to environmental change. While climate data describe the spatial distribution of climatic variables, satellite-derived phenological products can more directly characterize vegetation dynamics over large areas. This study used the Copernicus High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and P

Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Didrik Liljeström & Evie van der Linden Advisor/Examiner: Johan Dergård/Diem Nguyen Five key words: Investment Efficiency, Under/Overinvestment, Geopolitical Uncertainty/Risk, Accounting Quality, Earnings Management Purpose: This study investigates whether high-quality accounting acts as a determinant for efficient investmen

'Does the EU Still Have Normative Power? Rethinking Europe in a Time of Crisis' brought to you by the European Dialogue.What does it mean for the European Union to have “normative power” in today’s world, and does that idea still hold?In this episode recorded in February 2026, Professor Ian Manners revisits the concept he famously coined and reflects on how the EU’s global role is being reshaped i

The building sector is important for Sweden’s climate mitigation efforts. Reducing emissions requires energy-efficient new buildings and sustainable renovation of existing ones. However, common envelope changes, such as thicker insulation or modified wall layers, may increase moisture accumulation and mould risk. Consequently, a comprehensive assessment of exterior walls across moisture safety, en

Problem description An increased importance of data management in organization is emerging. (Desai et al., 2022) Sharing and managing product data, information and knowledge are key aspects of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). (Terzi et al., 2010) It is both a technological and strategic challenge to implement a PLM system strategy in a company. (Gehrke et al., 2020) There also exists barriers c

Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec

Importance The clinical utility of the comprehensive laboratory and medical investigations currently recommended for children with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) remains unclear. Notably, comparisons with relevant psychiatric control patients without suspected immunologic pathogenesis are lacking. Objective To evaluate whether currently recommended laboratory investigations
