Unhealthy food consumption and its determinants among children aged 6–23 months in Bangladesh: insights from the Demographic and Health Survey 2022

BackgroundLow- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Bangladesh, are experiencing a nutritional transition characterized by rising unhealthy food consumption (UFC), which increases the risk of nutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases in children. Despite this concern, research on UFC among Bangladeshi children aged 6–23 months is limited. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the preva

The fundamentals of eye tracking part 5 : The importance of piloting

The goal of this article is to demonstrate the importance of pilot studies in empirical eye-tracking research. First, we show what can go wrong when proper pilot experiments are omitted for all phases of an eye-tracking study, from testing an experiment, conducting the data collection, to building, revising, and interpreting the data analysis. Second, we describe a series of eye-tracking studies a

The What If Garden - A Field Guide to Radical Imagination

It is often said that we need more 'radical imagination' to challenge the status quo and envision societies otherwise. But what does that really mean? How might it be nurtured? And what role can approaches at the intersection of art and science play? The What If Garden (TWIG) invites you on a journey into radical imagination. Take a walk. Be inspired. Wander, and let your imagination unfold in mov

Psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the SNAP-IV rating scale parent form in a birth cohort of 11-year-old children

OBJECTIVE: The primary aim of this study was to confirm the internal consistency and factor structure of the Swedish version of the Swanson-Nolan-Pelham scale fourth edition (SNAP-IV) for parents and to examine its clinical utility for identifying children diagnosed with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Parents of 11-year-old children from a birth cohort in th

A practical guide to recording and analyzing jaw movements in speech research using MARRYS

This paper provides a practical guide on how to effectively use the MARRYS helmet for recording and analyzing jaw movements in speech research. Rather than introducing the device itself, which has been described in detail in Gudmundsson et al. (2024), this guide focuses on the setup, data collection, and analysis workflows essential for successful experimental work. Applications include language l

Tongue and jaw movement patterns in heavy metal growling

In this study we investigated the tongue and jaw movements during heavy metal growling in comparison to modal voice to enlighten us about the relationship between the laryngeal and oral articulator. Similarly to harsh voice, growling employs supraglottic structures like the ventricular and aryepiglottic folds. Previous research suggests that the tongue dorsum assists in laryngeal constriction by r

BioTIME 2.0: Expanding and Improving a Database of Biodiversity Time Series

Motivation: Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreo

ReSurveyEurope: A database of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe

Aims: We introduce ReSurveyEurope — a new data source of resurveyed vegetation plots in Europe, compiled by a collaborative network of vegetation scientists. We de-scribe the scope of this initiative, provide an overview of currently available data, governance, data contribution rules, and accessibility. In addition, we outline further steps, including potential research questions. Results: ReSurv

Så fungerar Irans maffiadiplomati

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard operates on many fronts, and Sweden has come into its focus several times in recent years. We need to understand what forces we are dealing with, write the experts Magnus Norell, Arvin Khoshnood, and Ardavan Khoshnood.

Injury and illness epidemiology in elite athletes during the Olympic, Youth Olympic and Paralympic Games: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Objective To systematically review and synthesise the incidence and characteristics of injuries and illnesses among athletes participating in the Olympic, Youth Olympic and Paralympic Games.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science were searched up to 2 July 2024, and Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical T

9 The SafeChrom project - integrative analyses of circulating microRNAs in hexavalent chromium exposed workers

Objective Exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) occurs during several occupational activities and leads to lung cancer. Growing evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important part in carcinogenesis. This study was to explore circulating miRNAs of Cr(VI) exposed workers and to identify the potential biological function of differentially expressed miRNA (DEM).Material and Methods This

24 Night shift work and epigenetic modifications: miRNA relative expression levels among a European cohort of night shift workers

Objective To date, the major pathways contributing to cardiovascular disease among night shift workers remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors and are estimated to control more than 30 candidate miRNAs among night shift workers.Materials and Methods RNA was extracted from plasma samples of 110 night and 90day shift worker

Creation and validation of improved MALDI-TOF MS libraries for S. bovis-S. equinus-complex subspecies identification adapted to diagnostic culturing and extraction conditions

Objectives: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) libraries have limited capabilities for identification of Streptococcus bovis/Streptococcus equinus-complex (SBSEC) subspecies. The objective was to develop and validate novel MALDI-TOF MS libraries adapted to diagnostic culturing and sampling conditions for improved identification of SBSEC subs

A Sharp Ethnographer for Swedish Researchers

Bob Emerson’s influence on Swedish sociology is wide-ranging and multifaceted. Bob presented this ethnomethodological approach to ethnography on several occasions to a Swedish audience. Our loose network of cultural criminology in Lund developed into what is now the Crime, Control, Culture group at our department, a successful research community consisting of BA and MA courses, researchers, lectur
