Today, we live in an age that is continually witnessing tension, strife and terrorism as a direct product of unequal distribution of wealth and opportunities for a good life. In Uganda for over two and half decades, war, insurgency and deprivation have been the realities of the people living in Northern Uganda. This evidently has lead to an imbalance in the Ugandan society with the North standing
Background: There are known associations between cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related plasma proteins and spirometry measures. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) measures gas exchange that can be impaired both by lung and heart diseases. We aimed to study the associations between DLCO and CVD-linked plasma proteins in a population-based cohort without airflow obstruction. Methods: 89 CV
OBJECTIVE: Emergency department length of stay (EDLOS) is linked to crowding and patient outcomes whereas worse prognosis in low socioeconomic status remains poorly understood. We studied whether income was associated with ED process times among patients with chest pain.METHODS: This was a registry-based cohort study on 124,980 patients arriving at 14 Swedish EDs between 2015 and 2019 with chest p
A Palaeolithic diet is an efficacious dietary approach for glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes. Causal mechanisms are body weight loss and glucometabolic effects from differences in included food groups, macronutrient composition, fibre content, and glycaemic load. The aim was to test the hypothesis that characteristic food group differences between a Palaeolithic and a diabetes diet would cause
Verksamhets- berättelse 2025 Under 2025 har de geopolitiska spänningarna, osäkerheten om ekonomin och polariseringen i debatten blivit, om möjligt, ännu större. Krig, handelskonflikter och motsättningar har påverkat politiken och skapat oro i ekonomin. Demo- kratiska värden utmanas, tilliten till kunskap försvagas. Även fackföreningarnas ställning i samhället är under press, både i Sverige och glo

The Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major human pathogen that causes infections ranging from acute otitis media to life-threatening invasive disease. Pneumococci have evolved several strategies to circumvent the host immune response, in particular the complement attack. The pneumococcal glycolytic enzyme phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) is both secreted and bound to the bacteria

Objectives: Cadmium (Cd) toxicity of the kidney varies between individuals despite similar exposure levels. In humans Cd is mainly bound to metallothioneins (MT), which scavenge its toxic effects. Here we analyzed whether polymorphisms in MT genes MTIA and MT2A influence Cd-related kidney damage. Methods: In a cross-sectional study N = 512 volunteers were selected from three areas in South-Eastern
Objectives To investigate the possible impact of maternal obesity on ultrasonographic dating of pregnancy. Methods The Swedish Medical Birth Registry was used to identify 842 083 singleton pregnancies for which the estimated date of deliver), (EDD) according to last menstrual period (EDD-LMP) and according to ultrasound examination (EDD-US) and maternal body mass index (BMI) in early pregnancy wer
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate how the semiconductor industry will develop during the period 2007-2012. Issues: The main issues presented are: • How will the competitive landscape change from 2007 to 2012? • How will companies succeed in the industry in 2012? • What position will the Integrated Device Manufacturers take in the value chain in 2012? Method: In order to achieve the purpo
In September 2015, China ended the one child policy and opened the two-child policy. However, the focus on fertility and family in public and government discourse is still links to issues of national survival and economic development. This means that women’s social roles are still defined according to the needs and interests of the state, and scripted, first and foremost, as familial. Women are ma
Pupil dilation is a reliable measure of cognitive load, and many studies have shown this effect in relation to various memory tasks. Interference from irrelevant memory traces encoded in the past lead to difficulty retrieving recent, sought after memory traces, and increased cognitive load. This investigation showed a significant decline in performance during buildup of interference and a signific
It is an open question whether small planets around M dwarfs are able to maintain atmospheres. The Hot Rocks Survey aims to address this question by observing nine rocky exoplanets orbiting M dwarfs with MIRI emission photometry to constrain the onset of atmospheres. In this paper, we present two MIRI F1500W (15 μm) eclipses of LTT 3780 b, an ultrashort-period super-Earth (P = 0.768 days, R = 1.32
Background: Despite the advancement of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring methods, the most important factor influencing diagnostic yield (DY) may still be monitoring duration. Ambulatory ECG monitoring, typically with 24–48 hours duration, is widely used but may result in underdiagnosis of rare arrhythmias. Aims: This study aimed to examine the relationship between the DY and monitoring duration
Freezing is a method used to preserve food for long periods of time by reducing the rate of naturally occurring reactions and growth of microorganisms. However, some irreversible quality changes, both physical and chemical, can take place during the freezing step. After being frozen, the products are stored until thawed and consumed. This thesis studies innovative freezing technologies to understa
