Delli AJ, Lindblad B, Carlsson A, Forsander G, Ivarsson S-A, Ludvigsson J, Marcus C, Lernmark A; for the Better Diabetes Diagnosis (BDD) Study Group. Type 1 diabetes patients born to immigrants to Sweden increase their native diabetes risk and differ from Swedish patients in HLA types and islet autoantibodies. Aim: To determine whether type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) patients, having parents who i
Background: Interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) for tuberculosis infection (TBI) cannot distinguish different stages of the TBI spectrum (including spontaneously cleared infection). We investigated patterns of Mtb-specific blood mediators in people with and without TBI during tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT). Methods: Individuals with likelihood of recent Mtb exposure, aged 15–25 years, with
Introduction: Oral dopaminergic treatment is the cornerstone of Parkinson’s disease (PD) management. However, progressive shortening of oral levodopa’s effect, along with the limited efficacy of enzyme inhibitors and dopamine agonists, does not allow to adequately control motor and non-motor complications characterizing advanced PD. At this stage, device-aided therapies (DATs), including infusion

We investigated the risk associated with crossing the Sahara Desert for migrating birds by evaluating more than 90 journeys across this desert by four species of raptors (osprey Pandion haliaetus, honey buzzard Pernis apivorus, marsh harrier Circus aeruginosus and Eurasian hobby Falco subbuteo) recorded by satellite telemetry. Forty per cent of the crossings included events of aberrant behaviours,
Against a backdrop of economic stagnation and declining birth rate, fatherhood in Japan has drawn increasing attention over the past three decades from the state, the media, and the general public. Of particular interest is the emergence of a new kind of fathering known as ikumen, which centres active involvement in childcare. Using LaRossa’s (1988) model of the “asynchrony” of change in the cultu
This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed. Hence, Swedish process industrie
This study investigated whether anchored prices induced biased choices and time estimations for the pursuit of an equal discount and if different degrees of social distance influenced these biases. A new measurement for quantifying the relative degree of bias was also proposed. A sample group of 142 students were tested from a university in southern Sweden. In a repeated measure design, each parti
Denna uppsats har som syfte att med en innehållsanalys som metod analysera förekomsten av kränkande skämt i komediserien How I Met Your Mother och att synliggöra skämtens skadliga effekter. Den teoretiska bakgrunden för uppsatsen består av Judith Butlers teorier om performativitet och queerteori samt Claire Horisk teori om skadliga skämt. Uppsatsen besvarar två frågor som formulerats enligt följa
CBAM aims to simultaneously drive EU competitiveness and decarbonisation by ‘levelling the playing field’ for EU-based producers. However, as a form of carbon tariff CBAM risks jeopardising downstream sectors’ competitiveness. This concern stems from CBAM charging a carbon price on imported intermediaries which are used as inputs for downstream EU manufactures. This carbon premium is not reflected
Stormwater is runoff water from snow or rain events that enters a recipient shortly after the precipitations has reached the ground. Stormwater can contain heavy metals and nutrients depending on the type and size of the catchment area as well as the intensity and regularity of the precipitation. In high amounts, the pollutants can inhibit algal growth and have a negative effect in algal diversity
The chemical abundances of stars in galaxies are a fossil record of the star formation and stellar evolution processes that regulate galaxy formation, including the stellar initial mass function, the fraction and timing of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa), and nucleosynthesis inside massive stars. In this paper, we systematically explore uncertainties associated with modeling chemical enrichment in dwar
A bulk of research states that witchcraft is an antithesis to development. This thesis finds that that is an assumption, which cannot explain the case of the Giriama. The results of this thesis has the implications that witchcraft may indeed exist in a modern developed setting, that people in the West/North could have witchcraft beliefs as well, and that witchcraft does not have to be valued negat
The importance of wild bees for crop pollination is well established, but less is known about which species contribute to service delivery to inform agricultural management, monitoring and conservation. Using sites in Great Britain as a case study, we use a novel qualitative approach combining ecological information and field survey data to establish a national list of crop pollinating bees for fo
This article explores how emotions connected to the Government’s handling of the Covid-19 outbreak in Sweden relates to behaviors to stop the spread of the virus, and which emotions functions as mediators in this relationship. The Swedish approach to handling the outbreak greatly differed from how many other Western European countries handled the situation and thus makes an important case to study
Findings about the relationship between climate change and conflict has, since research on the topic started in the late 1990s, been inconclusive. A more recent statistical study has however concluded that drought might prolong conflict under certain conditions. To further our understanding of this relationship, this single-N case study has investigated these recent findings on an extreme case, wh
