Contributory Factors for Teen Insomnia Symptoms : A Prospective Cohort Study in Sweden

Objectives: Insufficient sleep is a public health problem that impacts the mental and physical health of children and adolescents. Complaints of insomnia are particularly pervasive among adolescents. This longitudinal study investigates factors that contribute to teen insomnia symptoms. Design: Five-year prospective follow-up study. Setting: School-based. Participants: A total of 522 children (49.

Fler akuta gallstensoperationer och färre elektiva under pandemin

The covid-19 pandemic has necessitated reallocation of health care resources. This has raised concerns about the risks associated with postponing surgery for benign conditions that are given low priority. Data from the population-based Swedish National Register for Gallstone Surgery (GallRiks) show that the total number of procedures carried out during the initial months of each wave of the pandem

Smoking Cessation Programs Are Less Effective in Smokers with Low Socioeconomic Status Even When Financial Incentives for Quitting Smoking Are Offered-A Community-Randomized Smoking Cessation Trial in Denmark

Financial incentives offered to those who quit smoking have been found effective, also in persons with low socioeconomic status (SES), but no previous study has investigated who benefits most: smokers with low or high SES. In this community-randomized trial ("Richer without smoking"), three Danish municipalities were randomized to reward persons who were abstinent when attending the municipal smok

Expectations about voluntary efforts in collaborative governance and the fit with perceived prerequisites of intrinsic motivation in Sweden’s ecosystem-based moose management system

Collaborative governance regimes may be vulnerable because of dependency on stakeholders’ voluntary engagement and efforts. This study focuses on the Swedish moose management system, a multi-level collaborative governance regime inspired by the ecosystem approach. Self-determination theory is used to explore perceived prerequisites of basic needs for intrinsic motivation across sub-groups of stake

Neonatal morbidity after fetal exposure to antipsychotics : a national register-based study

Objective To investigate the admission rate to neonatal care and neonatal morbidity after maternal use of antipsychotics during pregnancy. Design A population-based register study. Setting Information on all singleton births between July 2006 and December 2017 in Sweden including data on prescription drugs, deliveries and infants' health was obtained from the Swedish Medical Birth Register, the Pr

Research Progress on the Photo-Driven Catalytic Production of Biodiesel

Biodiesel considered a green, environmentally friendly, and renewable energy source is one of the most promising candidates to replace fossil fuels to supply energy for the world. The conventional thermocatalytic methods have been extensively explored for producing biodiesel, while inevitably encountering some drawbacks, such as harsh operating conditions and high energy consumption. The catalytic

A novel phenotype associated with the R162W variant in the KCNJ13 gene

Background: Pathogenic variants in KCNJ13 have been associated with both autosomal dominant Snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration (SVD) and autosomal recessive Leber congenital amaurosis. SVD is characterized by aberrant vitreoretinal interface leading to increased risk of retinal detachment, crystalline retinal snowflake deposits, optic disc abnormalities, early-onset cataract, and cornea guttae.

Störningar och tidsförlängning : en entreprenadrättslig studie

I avhandlingen undersöks vilka störningar i entreprenadavtal som kan ge entreprenören rätt till tidsförlängning.Med störning avses i avhandlingen en omständighet som avviker från vad entreprenören förutsatt (antagit) senast vid avgivandet av sitt löfte (anbud) att ingå avtalet som gör att entreprenörens arbeten inte kan utföras som planerat och som orsakar tillkommande kostnader, en försening elle

Law and Social Exclusion : The functions and dysfunctions of the Swedish legal system in light of overindebtedness among immigrants

In terms of its total population, Sweden is one of the countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the EU. Several factors are critical in integrating immigrants, especially their economic security in a new country. This thesis examines the relationship between law enforcement and economic security for over- indebted immigrants. The primary purpose of this research is to explore the relIn terms of its total population, Sweden is one of the countries with the highest proportion of immigrants in the EU.

»Ett av de bästa medlen i vår propaganda« : Cykeln i svensk och dansk politisk kultur under mellankrigstiden

Genom empiriska exempel från Danmark och Sverige diskuterar denna artikel hur den moderna, masstillverkade cykeln blev ett viktigt verktyg i händerna på en ny generation politiska ungdomar. Under mellankrigsåren (1918–1939) utgjorde de unga sig själva som en egen samhällsgrupp. För allra första gången i historien blev ungdomen nyckelaktörer på den politiska scenen och de tog med sig moderna former

ESTRO-ACROP guideline on surface guided radiation therapy

Surface guidance systems enable patient positioning and motion monitoring without using ionising radiation. Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT) has therefore been widely adopted in radiation therapy in recent years, but guidelines on workflows and specific quality assurance (QA) are lacking. This ESTRO-ACROP guideline aims to give recommendations concerning SGRT roles and responsibilities and

Vita kyrkoväggar - myten om kalkmålningarna och reformationen

Det är en myt, att de medeltida kalkmålningarna överkalkades vid reformationen. Myten lever, då det är en enkel förklaring till kontrasten mellan vitkalkade väggar och valv i exempelvis S:t Petri kyrka i Malmö och Krämarkapellets färgrika kalkmålningar i samma kyrka. Myten finner även stöd i en del litteratur och på hemsidor, trots att det är känt sedan 1800-talets slut att traditionen med kalkmålIt is a myth, that the medieval ecclesiastic wall-paintings were whitewashed during the Reformation. The myth lives on, as it is perceived as a simple explanation of the contrast between the white church walls and vaults at e.g. Saint Peter in Malmö and the colorful wall-paintings of the chapel of the vendors there. The myth also finds support in some literature and on webpages, although it has be

Physciosporin suppresses mitochondrial respiration, aerobic glycolysis, and tumorigenesis in breast cancer

BACKGROUND: Physciosporin (PHY) is one of the potent anticancer lichen compound. Recently, PHY was shown to suppress colorectal cancer cell proliferation, motility, and tumorigenesis through novel mechanisms of action.PURPOSE: We investigated the effects of PHY on energy metabolism and tumorigenicity of the human breast cancer (BC) cells MCF-7 (estrogen and progesterone positive BC) and MDA-MB-231

Inflammatory and tumorigenic effects of environmental pollutants found in particulate matter on lung epithelial cells

Exposure to environmental pollutants is a major public health concern. This study investigated the inflammatory and tumorigenic effects of environmental pollutants (benzene, benzo[a]pyrene, cadmium, and diisononyl phthalate) on transformed A549 and H292 lung alveolar epithelial cells and non-transformed BEAS-2B lung bronchial epithelial cells. The cytotoxic effects of the pollutants were analyzed

Physciosporin suppresses the proliferation, motility and tumourigenesis of colorectal cancer cells

BACKGROUND: Lichens, which represent symbiotic associations of fungi and algae, are potential sources of numerous natural products. Physciosporin (PHY) is a potent secondary metabolite found in lichens and was recently reported to inhibit the motility of lung cancer cells via novel mechanisms.PURPOSE: The present study investigated the anticancer potential of PHY on colorectal cancer (CRC) cells.M
