UGS can provide extensive health benefits for city dwellers, especially those with close availability. However, previous research in the US has shown that UGS are not equally distributed within the city. This paper uses an urban justice approach to examine the distribution of UGS in Malmö, Sweden. Following a spatial analysis linking availability of UGS to socio-economic variables using ArcGIS, th

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our lives and created wide-reaching impacts. Societies worldwide have confronted the crisis with grassroots mobilisation and social resilience. Civil society uncovers injustices by actively participating in the local decentralised pandemic response. This micro-level study provides insight into a long-standing social movement organisation’s framing of the crisis.

The Swedish Water Authorities have proposed a measure to reduce phosphorus losses by restricting manure application on soils with high levels of plant available phosphorus. The aim of this thesis was to investigate if leaching of phosphorus will decrease if the measure is implemented, if the effect is restricted to soils with high phosphorus content and if other European countries have implemented

This thesis explores the structure and potential future of public transport in Mainz, Germany, through the lens of the Foundational Economy. The Foundational Economy, a broad project developed by several European scholars, offers a critique of neoliberalism by advocating for renewed policy attention to essential goods and services—such as public transport. The Foundational Economy reorients public

AIM: To compare 14 and 24 weeks treatment to patients with HCV genotype 2 or 3 infection and rapid virological response (RVR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients included in two Scandinavian trials, one nonrandomized pilot trial (n=122) and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) (n=428) were entered into a pooled database. In both trials treatment naïve patients with genotype 2 or 3 were treated with

BACKGROUND: Vascular endothelial dysfunction, accelerated thickening of arterial intima, and changes in ventricular repolarization contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Although vitamin C has important antioxidant functions and increased oxidative stress is a central mechanism of cardiovascular dysfunction in T1D, the relation between vitamin C and the cardiova

Influenza A virus encodes two segments (7 and 8) that produce mRNAs that can be spliced. We have investigated if naturally occurring sequence polymorphisms in the influenza A virus family affects splicing of these viral mRNAs, as that could potentially alter the NS1/NS2- and/or M1/M2-protein ratios. We compared splicing efficiency of segment 7 and 8 mRNAs of A/Brevig Mission/1918/1 (H1N1) and A/Ne

Background: Reducing lipid levels is essential for preventing major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in management of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The first line treatment of OSA is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), however, its impact on the association between lipid profile and MACCEs is uncertain. Methods: This was

BACKGROUND: Participation in everyday life and personal recovery is often adversely affected for individuals with complex mental health needs. Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) is a recovery-oriented service targeting participation in everyday life and personal recovery and is thus important to understand from the perspectives of service users.AIM: To explore how service users experien

Cigarette smoking is a key factor for the development and progression of different cancers including mammary tumor in women. Resveratrol (Res) is a promising natural chemotherapeutic agent that regulates many cellular targets including p21, a cip/kip family of cyclin kinase inhibitors involved in DNA damage-induced cell cycle arrest and blocking of DNA replication and repair. We have recently show

Objective: This study examined the overlap between considering oneself to have stopped nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and the actual cessation of the behavior in terms of days self-injured in the last month and last year, and how these operationalizations are associated with constructs related to NSSI recovery. Methods: A cross-sectional survey including measures of coping, emotion dysregulation,

Purpose: The use of prophylaxis for thromboembolism and infection in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is not well documented and no general guidelines have been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ACL surgeons’ individual strategies of thromboprophylaxis, use of prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis and vancomycin-soaked ACL grafts, and if its use is supported in the c

Objective A low expression of club cell secretory protein (CC16) and high levels of proinflammatory cytokines at preterm birth are associated with airway inflammation and more severe neonatal lung disease. The present study aimed to investigate if low levels of CC16, proinflammatory cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) in tracheal aspirate early after birth were associated with

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is defined as eGFRcystatin C/eGFRcreatinine ratio <0.70 and predicts high CVD mortality. The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is used to estimate an individual’s 10-year CVD risk. This study investigated the association between FRS and eGFRcystatin C/eGFRc

Background: There is increasing knowledge of how individual lifestyle factors affect patients with spondyloarthritis, while studies exploring the combination of unhealthy lifestyle factors are lacking. Thus, our aim was to study the frequency of two or more unhealthy lifestyle factors and their associations with physical and mental health in patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods: A popula

Part of the Sound Studies Lecture Series SANDRA KOPLJAR At an early stage of the construction and planning of the research facilities MAX IV and ESS at Brunnshög, several sound based investigations and interventions were performed in the area. Methods such as collective speech, urban broadcasting of perceived potential, and sound based simulations were used to capture the hopes, fears and expectat
