Enligt forskare och praktiker innebär klimatförändringarna särskilda utmaningar för freden. För att förstå vilka dessa utmaningar är och hur man ska hantera dem måste man ta hänsyn till kön, eftersom både erfarenheter av och processer för fred, samt drivkrafter bakom klimatförändringar är könsbundna. Exempelvis kan kvinnor och män uppleva förhållandena efter en vapenvila på olika sätt, eller så kaScholars and practitioners argue that climate change poses particular challenges for peace. In order to understand what these challenges are and how to tackle them necessitates attention to gender, since experiences and processes of peace are gendered, as are experiences and drivers of climate change. For instance, women and men may experience conditions after a ceasefire differently, or climate h

BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder. There is limited knowledge about the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in PD. The primary aim of this prospective study was to analyze diurnal salivary cortisol concentrations in patients with PD and correlate these with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), duration of PD, and pain. The secondary aim was

Background: Healthy lifestyles are inversely associated with the risk of noncommunicable diseases, which are leading causes of death. However, few studies have used longitudinal data to assess the impact of changing lifestyle behaviours on all-cause and cancer mortality. Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, lifestyle profiles of 308,497 ca

Background/aims: Congestion is prognostically relevant in cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR-CA), but whether congestion has an incremental prognostic value beyond the well-established, congestion-sensitive NT-proBNP is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to comparatively evaluate the prognostic utility of several congestion surrogates over NT-proBNP. Methods: We estimated hazard ratios by Cox propo

Context. White-light stellar flares are proxies for some of the most energetic types of flares, but their triggering mechanism is still poorly understood. As they are associated with strong X and ultraviolet emission, their study is particularly relevant to estimate the amount of high-energy irradiation onto the atmospheres of exoplanets, especially those in their stars’ habitable zone. Aims. We u

The present work describes the formation of low-aspect-ratio Ag nanoparticles (NPs) arrays by sequential deposition of Ag from different growth directions on a nanoripple-patterned Si substrate, produced by low-energy ion beam irradiation. It is observed that the growth of Ag-NPs on ripple surfaces is direction-dependent due to the asymmetric ridge of the ripple pattern. This asymmetric ridge can

Introduction: The impact of exposure to endemic infections on basal immunity and susceptibility to HIV-1 acquisition remains uncertain. We hypothesized that exposure to infections such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), malaria and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in high-risk individuals may modulate immunity and subsequently increase susceptibility to HIV-1 acquisition. Methods: A case-control stud

Objective: To explore whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features suggestive of knee osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with presence of knee pain in possible early-stage OA development. Methods: We included 294 participants from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (mean ± SD age 50 ± 3 years; 50% women) with baseline Kellgren/Lawrence grade of 0 in both knees, all of whom had received knee MRIs a

This overview of progress made in preventing post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) was delivered in a workshop at the Orthopaedics Research Society Annual Conference in 2019. As joint trauma is a major risk factor for OA, defining the molecular changes within the joint at the time of injury may enable the targeting of biological processes to prevent later disease. Animal models have been used to te

BACKGROUND: The management of diverticular disease and its complications are an increasing burden to the health system. The natural history of conservatively managed diverticular abscesses (Hinchey I and II) is poorly described and it remains open to debate whether subsequent sigmoid resection is indicated after conservative management. This observational study compares outcomes of patients treate

CRC is one of the most common causes of cancer death in the world. If CRC is diagnosed in the early stages, the patient's chance of survival is estimated at about 90%, with a very low probability of recurrence. The five-year DFS for CRC patients in stage III and IV drops to 63.3% and 18.9%, respectively. The current thesis aimed to identify potential new prognostic and predicting biomarkers for th

Objective. To analyse how the main components of the disease phenotype (sicca symptoms, diagnostic tests, immunological markers and systemic disease) can be driven by the age at diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Methods. By January 2021, the participant centres had included 12,753 patients from 25 countries that fulfilled the 2002/2016 classification criteria for pSS. The age at diagn

Background: People with Parkinson’s disease are less physically active than controls. It is important to promote physical activity, which can be assessed using different methods. Subjective measures include physical activity questionnaires, which are easy and cheap to administer in clinical practice. Knowledge of the psychometric properties of physical activity questionnaires for people with Parki

Background: In obese patients, jejunoileal bypass (JIB) has been used to induce weight reduction. Changes in the neuroendocrine system may be affected by the JIB-operation, because the proximal small intestinal mucosa has a rich supply of endocrine cells and peptidergic nerves. Materials and Methods: In 37 obese patients operated with JIB 1-30 years ago, small intestinal biopsies were taken at the

Aim: To estimate the occurrence of complications related to early-onset type 2 diabetes compared with type 1 diabetes. Methods: All individuals registered in the Swedish Pediatric Quality Diabetes Register and the Swedish National Diabetes Register with type 2 diabetes diagnosis at 10 to 25 years of age between 1996 and 2014 (n = 1413) were included. As controls, individuals with type 1 diabetes w
