The gut and oral microbiome is altered in people living with HIV (PLWH). While antiretroviral treatment (ART) is pivotal in restoring immune function in PLWH, several studies have identified an association between specific antiretrovirals, particularly integrase inhibitors (INSTI), and weight gain. In our study, we explored the differences in the oral and gut microbiota of PLWH under different ART

The industrial cities of the twentieth century were intimately dependent on and characterized by migration. This chapter focuses on describing and analyzing migration flows and migrant characteristics in relation to the general economic development of the industrial city of Landskrona. During the first decades of the century, migration tended to be circular between the city and the countryside. Mi

Integrating media studies with history, Media Tactics in the Long Twentieth Century explores the dynamic relationship between tactics and strategies in recent history. Drawing on examples from a range of different countries and world regions, and looking at the infrastructures, entanglements, and institutions involved, the volume makes a strong case for media tactics as a new field of scholarly in

During the Second World War, neutral Sweden became a battleground for propaganda between warring nations, prominently displayed through window displays on Stockholm's streets. This chapter studies the overlooked realm of visual propaganda, particularly focusing on the strategic use of window displays by Germany, the US, the UK and the Soviet Union. By analysing archival material and newspaper sour

The introduction to this edited collection situates the volume in relation to previous research on strategies and tactics in the humanities and the social sciences. Taking a media historical point of departure, a key ambition with this volume is to foreground the dialectic relationship between strategies and tactics in what we call the long twentieth century. Drawing on examples from a range of di

In this afterword, Marie Cronqvist, Fredrik Mohammadi Norén, and Emil Stjernholm tie together the chapters in Media Tactics in the Long Twentieth Century and summarise some of the book's key themes. Three key knowledge contributions are highlighted. First, the volume foregrounds tactics as a study object in itself, not just the effects or outcomes of strategic thinking. Second, the book counters t

Svenska myndigheter ska enligt vår svenska grundlag vara fristående från regeringen. Är detta fristående tillräckligt för de krav på oberoende som EU-rätten ställer? Den frågan undersöks i detta avsnitt av Sieps Podcast.

Cardioneuroablation has emerged as a potential alternative to cardiac pacing in selected cases with vasovagal reflex syncope, extrinsic vagally induced sinus bradycardia-arrest or atrioventricular block. The technique was first introduced decades ago, and its use has risen over the past decade. However, as with any intervention, proper patient selection and technique are a prerequisite for a safe

Despite the fact that longevity in people with intellectual disability has increased at least as much as in the general population, there is a dearth of interventions related to ageing for these older people. Therefore, this study investigated educators' implementation strategies in a new tailor-designed educational intervention with the goal of supporting the process of ageing for people with mil

BACKGROUND AIMS: The EAT-Lancet Commission devised a globally sustainable dietary pattern to jointly promote human health and sustainability. However, the extent to which this diet supports metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has not yet been assessed. This study aimed to investigate the association between the EAT-Lancet diet and risk of MASLD and its severity.APPROAC

Distributed multiple-input multiple-output (D-MIMO) is a promising technology for simultaneous communication and positioning. However, phase synchronization between multiple access points in D-MIMO is challenging and methods that function without the need for phase synchronization are highly desired. Therefore, we present a method for D-MIMO that performs direct positioning of a moving device base

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by the loss of the dopaminergic nigrostriatal pathway which has led to the successful development of drug therapies that replace or stimulate this network pharmacologically. Although these drugs work well in the early stages of the disease, over time they produce side effects along with less consistent clinical benefits to the person with Parkinson's (PwP)

Targeted delivery of α-synuclein using AAV vectors has over the two decades since its introduction developed into a versatile tool for modeling different aspects of synucleinopathy, mimicking those seen in Parkinson's disease and related Lewy body disorders. The viral vector approach to disease modeling is attractive in that the expression of α-synuclein, wild-type or mutated, can be confined to d

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a chronic psychiatric condition that follows exposure to a traumatic stressor. Though previous in vivo proton (1H) MRS) research conducted at 4 T or lower has identified alterations in glutamate metabolism associated with PTSD predisposition and/or progression, no prior investigations have been conducted at higher field strength. In addition, earlier studies

The overarching aim of the book is to provide the first comprehensive account of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy and its dissemination through digital diplomacy. In contrast to other scholarly studies of digital diplomacy that tend to view it as a technological and apolitical device for online diplomatic communication, this book examines the specific political dynamics of digital diplomacy. It po

Marknadsanalys handlar i fastighetssammanhang i grunden om att undersöka fastighetsmarknaden i syfte att förstå hur fastigheter prissätts på marknaden. Det i sin tur handlar både om att förstå hur fastigheter i allmänhet prissätts och hur specifika fastigheter prissätts. Det förstnämnda handlar om prisnivån på fastighetsmarknaden och det andra om priset på en specifik fastighet. Det här kapitlet h

There has been widespread debate about whether the way in which we measure economic activity is fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. One aspect of this debate is to move away from measuring a nation's income (GDP) towards monitoring a nation's assets (their inclusive wealth), as a better indicator of sustainable economic development. We provide the first critical comparison of the approach

A study of 25 pupils working in groups with a digital mathematics game on table tabletswas conducted in a Swedish first school year class. The pupils’ communications and actions whensolving problems, with no teacher interference, were studied to contribute knowledge about howgroups of pupils engage in digital games. Data sets, in the form of transcripts from video recordings ofpupils working in gr
