Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect(s) of meteorological factors on the prevalence of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) based on 10-years’ worth of population data.

How is peace research connected to practice? Observers have argued that peace research has gone from activist, political ideals about changing the world to being a methods-driven field of research that has lost all criticality. This article adds empirical substance to the debate by investigating the case of Nordic peace research and its relationship to practice. Through interview data with more th

BACKGROUND: Several systematic reviews (SRs), with and without meta-analyses, have investigated the use of wearable devices to improve physical activity, and there is a need for frequent and updated syntheses on the topic.OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate whether using wearable devices increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behaviour in adults.METHODS: We conducted an umbrella review sear

Surfactants are ubiquitous in formulated products and technologies. As one of the most important commodity chemicals, their remarkable consumption leads to the necessity of finding sustainable alternatives. Although the use of renewable sources limits the available chemical space for a “Green” production, the great variety of naturally occurring precursors, i.e., fatty acids and sugars, opens a my

The remote forcing from land surface changes in the Sahara is hypothesized to play a pivotal role in modulating the intensity of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) through ocean-atmospheric teleconnections. This modulation has far-reaching consequences, particularly in facilitating societal shifts documented in northern China. Here, we present a well-dated lake-level record from the Daihai Lake

This thesis follows the interdisciplinary tradition that exists in global studies by performing a spatial analysis of the imaginary of peace(s) and conservation as a practice of peace(s) and thus contributing to the fields of environmental peacebuilding, peace- and conflict studies, and geography. The thesis has its theoretical starting point in environmental peacebuilding and is drawing and build

Samhället präglas av en ökande social acceleration där teknologisk utveckling och strävan efter effektivisering, påverkar arbetslivet och skapar nya sätt för individen att uppleva tid. Genom att tillämpa begrepp som social acceleration, resonans och tid undersöker uppsatsen samspelet mellan dessa i förhållande till de senmoderna fenomenen gränslöst arbete och prekarisering. Målet är att bidra med

Religion has become a hot topic in Sweden, often perceived as the most secularized corner of the world. This article analyzes how Islam and Lutheran Christianity come to be used in the construction of national identity, through discourse analysis of an opinion piece by the Christian Democrats in 2021 on banning veils in elementary schools, and the following discussion on Twitter1. The concept “ban

Andelsbaserad gräsrotsfinansiering i privata aktiebolag saknar för närvarande en reglering som ställer krav på informationsgivning i svensk rätt, då befintlig reglering endast omfattar publika aktiebolag. Då det inte ställs krav på informationsgivning finns det få incitament för det kapitalsökande bolaget och investeringsplattformen att vid gräsrotsfinansiering dela med sig av information som riskEquity crowdfunding in private limited liability companies currently lacks a regulation on information obligations in Swedish law, as the existing regulation only covers public limited liability companies. Since there are no information-sharing requirements among these companies, there are practically no incentives for either the capital-seeking company or the investment platform to share informat

Det är den minoritet av världens befolkning som är rik som främst påverkar statusen för jordens livsuppehållande system genom sin konsumtion. Det skriver två forskare i en replik.This is a response to another article that argues that population growth is the main problem. Jennifer and her co-authors write: "In the environmental debate, it is often said that the issue of population growth is taboo. We disagree. In most of the contexts in which we operate, the population issue is discussed. The reason why it is not emphasized more is that the statistics speak for themselves:

The objectives of our study were to enhance and evaluate an improved saponification method for the quantification of fatty acids (FA), with a specific focus on highly-unsaturated long-chain polyunsaturated FA (LPUFA) that are easily peroxidised in pig erythrocytes. These erythrocytes serve as a valuable large animal model for human studies. We implemented a modified saponification procedure, invol

BACKGROUND & AIMS: To establish an effective prognostic nomogram for acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF).MATERIALS AND METHODS: The nomogram was based on clinical data of 203 ACHBLF patients who admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from 2009 to 2014. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curve were car

INTRODUCTION: Few individuals have access to mental health services due in part to underdetection. As it is more likely to consult for medical conditions, primary care may be a useful gateway for early detection of mental health problems.OBJECTIVE: Detection of the frequency of mental health problems in four hospital services at the Fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá: Outpatient unit, hospitalization, e

Based on social movement theory and a multi-level analysis, this thesis explores the Nordic Resistance Movement’s (NRM) organizational configuration, transnational character, and ideological foundations through a comparative case study of the NRM in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The NRM uses a combination of decentralized structures, hierarchies, and symbols, contributing to their unique dual natio

The role of psychological processes in team sports has been studied extensively. The chapter focuses on the psychological factors that are unique to basketball. These factors include the following: (a) free throw shooting—examining the role of gaze behavior in enhancing shooting percentages, (b) “the hot hand”—the underlying mechanisms leading to a “hot streak,” (c) clutch performance under pressu
