Making ethics teaching more effective with a three step model

In this study, the impacts of two different “methods” for teaching ethics as part of the religious education in the Swedish upper secondary school were compared by means of a non-randomized controlled trial in two parts, involving 542 students. The question was which “method” had the greatest capacity to generate long-term ethical awareness in the students. The intervention condition consisted of

Kartläggning av bebyggelse med risk för höga temperaturer : Metodbeskrivning av GIS-verktyg utifrån marktäckning

Värmeböljor är den klimateffekt som väntas få störst påverkan på hälsan i Europa, och värmeböljor förväntas bli vanligare, intensivare och mer långvariga iframtiden.I tätorter skapas ett lokalt klimat som gör att befolkningen där kan bli mer exponerad för värme än i glesare bebyggda områden. Det gäller särskilt tätbebyggda områden med hög andel hårdgjorda ytor och lite vegetation. I sådana områden

Chronic inflammation in the etiology of disease across the life span

Although intermittent increases in inflammation are critical for survival during physical injury and infection, recent research has revealed that certain social, environmental and lifestyle factors can promote systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) that can, in turn, lead to several diseases that collectively represent the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide, such as cardiovascular d

The evolutionary ecology of plant reproductive diversity and floral signals : Mating system and floral scent in Arabis alpina

Flowering plants display an extraordinary floral- and reproductive diversity. Variation in the size, shape, colour and scent of flowers, and in systems and strategies of mating, is ubiquitous in comparisons of different species, but also exists among different conspecific populations. Diversity in these characters is central to the evolution of flowering plants and the formation of new species. In

Successful aging : Insights from proteome analyses of healthy centenarians

Healthy aging depends on a complex gene-environment network that is ultimately reflected in the expression of different proteins. We aimed to perform a comparative analysis of the plasma proteome of healthy centenarians (n=9, 5 women, age range 100-103 years) with a notably preserved ambulatory capacity (as a paradigm of 'successful' aging), and control individuals who died from a major age-relate

Who chooses to enroll in a new national gambling self-exclusion system? A general population survey in Sweden

Background: Self-exclusion from gambling is a common method for prevention and harm reduction in hazardous gambling. However, few national self-exclusion programs, involving a large number of gambling operators and activities in a country, have been assessed scientifically. This study aimed to examine characteristics of individuals who chose to enroll in a recently introduced (January, 2019) natio

Gambling During the COVID-19 Crisis - A Cause for Concern

: The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to worsen mental health problems in the general population, including increasing engagement in addictive behaviors. Here, we describe observations suggesting that the current crisis and its sequelae may worsen problem gambling. The current pandemic may impact financial and psychological well-being due to social isolation during spatial distancing, and thes

Changes in gambling behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic—A web survey study in Sweden

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically changed everyday life, and policy makers have raised concerns about possible changes in gambling patterns during the pandemic. This study aimed to examine whether self-reported gambling has increased during the pandemic, and to examine potential correlates of such a change. This general population survey study in Sweden collected self-report data from 2016 we

Protocol for a multi-site study of the effects of overdose prevention education with naloxone distribution program in Skåne County, Sweden

Background: Continuously high rates of overdose deaths in Sweden led to the decision by the Skåne County to initiate the first regional take-home naloxone program in Sweden. The project aims to study the effect of overdose prevention education and naloxone distribution on overdose mortality in Skåne County. Secondary outcome measures include non-fatal overdoses and overdose-related harm in the gen

The general population’s view on where to seek treatment for gambling disorder – a general population survey

Background: More remains to be understood about attitudes towards treatment for gambling disorder and where to seek treatment. Given the low degree of treatment seeking behaviour in this condition, it may be of interest to study people’s perception about where to seek help in case of problem gambling. From a study originally aiming to address health correlates of problem gambling, the present sub-

Self-Limiting Polymer Exposure for Vertical Processing of Semiconductor Nanowire-Based Flexible Electronics

In this work, we demonstrate a vertical processing method to fabricate nanowire (NW)-based devices. This method combines the strong light absorption ability caused by the NW geometry and exposure to dose-dependent clearance properties of a photo-sensitive polymer. By embedding NW arrays in a polymer, the NW light absorption leads to self-limited exposure and selective removal of the polymer. This
