Background: Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease of the pilosebaceous unit of human skin. Previous studies have identified an acne-associated dysbiosis of the skin microbiome. Objectives: This dysbiosis was mainly determined for Cutibacterium acnes. However, detailed analyses combining qualitative and quantitative aspects are scarce, also regarding the possible contribution of other skin bact

Background and purpose — Knee extensor (KE) muscle weakness is a modifiable feature commonly observed in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and constitutes a potential target for patient-specific interventions. Therefore, in this study, we explored whether KE weakness is associated with radiographic (medial and/or lateral) KOA progression and how this relationship differs depending on fron

In the context of global warming, escalating water cycles have led to a surge in drought frequency and severity. Yet, multidecadal fluctuations in drought and their multifaceted influencing factors remain inadequately understood. This study examined the multide-cadal changes in drought characteristics (frequency, duration, and severity) and their geographical focal points within China’s north-sout

The Sámi people stand out as the only Indigenous minority in an egalitarian European context, namely the Nordic Countries. Therefore, inequalities that they may face are worth closer inspection. Drawing on the distinction between inequalities among individuals (vertical) and between groups (horizontal), we investigate how different types of inequalities affect the Sámi today. We formulate a series

Introduction: Grey pea is a largely overlooked legume in the Nordic countries, and its potential uses in various food products remain unexplored. It is a nutrient-rich crop with low environmental impact, making it an attractive option for sustainable and nutritious plant-based alternatives. Objectives: To investigate the impact of dehulling, germination, and fermentation on the bioactive (pol

Based on self-determination theory, this research relied on person-centered analyses to show how the distinct components of psychological need states combine to produce distinct profiles. We also explored contemporarily antecedents (perceptions of the organization's environmental corporate social responsibility and negative moral emotions related to the organization's environmental (ir)responsibil

Abstract: The biliary excretion of the vasopressin analogue 1‐deamino‐8‐D‐arginine vasopressin (dDAVP) was determined in the pig after three administration routes, intrajugular venous, intraportal venous and intraduodenal. In all cases the biliary excretion was less than 1% of the administered dose. The plasma/bile concentration ratio was less than 1:1. A significant first‐pass effect was found w

Objectives. The aim was to demonstrate a reliable ex vivo method to test the function of the whole heart. Design. Pigs of varying sizes (44–80 kg) were exposed to dose response of adrenaline. Blood pressures and cardiac output were measured. The explanted hearts were tested in a novel ex vivo system to see if we could replicate the in vivo values at maximal adrenaline stimulation. The perfusion so

The regulation processes and administrative legal institutions related to water resource management in Sweden are in a process of transformation. This transformation is related to factors regarding introduction of new laws, the emergence of new issues on the policy agenda as well as changes in the administrative procedures and responsibilities..The aim of this project is to map out the relationshi

Books and other printed matter are media of communication, used to carry and distribute – mediate – "content". A medium, however, is always material, and as such it produces meaning in its own right. So even though content and medium might be separate and distinct entities, they are intimately connected, and in order to be communicated a piece of "content" is always given one or another material f

The project is inspired by ongoing discussions about citizenship and exclusion. We contend that research on sexuality and disability can contribute in important ways to debates about autonomy and inclusion in society. In order to analyse the complex problems around these questions we study discursive and political differences between Denmark and Sweden from 1925 to the present. In Denmark, it is p

Forestry has been one of the major industries in the Swedish economy since the middle of the nineteenth century. During the second part of the twentieth century the industry went through powerful technological changes. Traditional handicraft methods were replaced by modern high technology. As for the forestry VET this meant a strong expansion during the 1950s and 1960s followed by integration into
