Introduction: The recent Covid-19 pandemic has renewed interest in studying the impact of environmental factors on the airborne transmission of viral infectious diseases. Human rhinovirus is the main cause of acute respiratory infections, primarily driven by young children who have an average of 6 -10 infections annually, while healthy adults typically experience 2–3 infections per year. Although

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous anthropogenic particles that accumulate in coastal zones, sediments, and the water column. The exposure of organisms to MPs in these habitats may depend on foraging strategies and landscape characteristics. This study compared MP contamination in the feces of waterbirds from two trophic groups: benthivores (American oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus; white-backe

During recent years, there has been an increase in supply and consumption of plantbased products worldwide. As many such products are new, the consumption of these has not been thoroughly investigated. Vegetarian products are made from legumes and cereals with different microbiological conditions and challenges than animal products, and thus they may need to be handled differently. It is commonly

The choices costumers make in the supermarket can influence to what extent food production is sustainable. There is also a growing pressure on retailers to step up and enable and encourage sustainable choices for the costumer. The purpose of the study is twofold: first, to understand the function(s) the brand ‘ICA I love eco’ fills in by looking into how this brand is used in a supermarket in orde

Despite available training in food safety, regular inspections from the authorities and strict laws and regulations, the number of suspected food poisoning is estimated at 500,000 cases per year in Sweden (Norling, 1994). Since the 1990s, there have been discussions about introducing a "mandatory food driver's license" to improve food safety in Sweden. But no such license exists toda

Black carbon (BC) is produced during incomplete combustion of Biomass and fossil fuels. BC and other carbonaceous pollutants have characteristics that affect the climate, environment, and human health. Historically, BC emissions have been measured and monitored in the atmosphere, and BC emissions to the air are quite well documented. Deposition in water and sediments has been less studied but is i

We investigate the impact of employment protection regulation on firms’ reluctance to apply for bank finance (loans and overdrafts). Our findings reveal that longer notice periods reduce the likelihood that firms are discouraged from applying for bank finance in the case of blue-collar workers, but they increase it in the case of white-collar workers. Our interpretation is that, in the case of blu

OBJECTIVES: To examine patient willingness and possible shift in willingness for surgery and to investigate factors associated with this shift, following participation in the digital non-surgical osteoarthritis (OA) treatment program Joint Academy.METHODS: 458 individuals (mean age 62±5.6 years, 67% women) with diagnosed hip or knee were evaluated after six weeks in Joint Academy, comprising educa

Knowledge about the past, current and future distribution of the human population is fundamental for tackling many global challenges. Censuses are used to collect information about population within a specified spatial unit. The spatial units are usually arbitrarily defined and their numbers, size and shape tend to change over time. These issues make comparisons between areas and countries difficu

Fundamental and enduring changes brought about by recurrent economic and financial crises, the digital revolution and ongoing globalisation processes of production and innovation activities are posing major challenges for regional and national economies to renew their industrial structures and develop innovations that break existing development trajectories. This calls for new innovation policy ap

Birds have been observed to have dietary preferences for unsaturated fatty acids during migration. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may increase the exercise performance of migrant birds; however, PUFAs are also peroxidation prone and might therefore incur increased costs in terms of enhanced oxidative damage in migratory individuals. To shed light on this potential constraint, we analyzed plas

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jordens dotter. Selma Lagerlöf och den tyska hembygdslitteraturen. Avhandlingen undersöker mottagandet av Selma Lagerlöfs verk i Tyskland åren runt sekelskiftet 1900. Selma Lagerlöf introducerades på den tyska bokmarknaden 1896 med en översättning av debutverket Gösta Berlings saga. Redan tidigt under sin litterära karriär uppmärksammades hon i tysk press och nådde på This dissertation studies the reception of the works of the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf in Germany at the turn of the century 1900. Selma Lagerlöf was introduced into the German book market in 1896, with a translation of her first novel, “The Saga of Gosta Berling”. She was well received by the German press and had after only a couple of years managed to get herself an impressive readership, whi

This article reports the findings of what it means to live with intestinal failure caused by Crohn disease and how it influences daily life. Ten patients, 7 with an ostomy and 7 on home parenteral nutrition followed up at an outpatient clinic for patients with intestinal failure, were interviewed using a qualitative, phenomenological-hermeneutic method. The analysis of the transcribed data is desc

Water distribution and availability in the Jordan region were studied. Self-sufficiency in water availability within the region is determined by the minimum amount of water used per person that is renewable. The objectives of the study were to identify the causes of water shortages and alternative use of water to prolong future supplies. According to our analysis, Israel and Jordan will overutilis

The MHC (Major Histocompatibility Complex) plays an important role in the immune system of vertebrates. MHC genes are extremely polymorphic and this variation is considered to be maintained by selection from pathogens. We investigate whether MHC diversity (number of different alleles per individual) affects the survival and recruitment of nestling house sparrows. We hypothesize that individuals wi

Populations of European starlings have declined over large parts of northern and western Europe during the last 20 years. It has been suggested that reduced availability of pasture in the agricultural landscape was one reason for this decline. To investigate this, breeding colonies for starlings were established in southern Sweden, in agricultural landscapes with different availabilities of pastur

Measurements of fetal aortic blood flow velocity and fetal growth were performed in 178 pregnancies. In 87 cases, the estimated fetal weight was > 2 SD below the gestational age-related mean of the population. Three fetuses died in utero. In 148 children (84%) an assessment of overall intellectual ability was performed at 6.5 years of age. Verbal and global IQ was lower in the group with an abnorm
