Prospective Study of Mercury Exposure from Pregnancy and Its Relation with Telomere Length in Spanish Children
Telomere length (TL) is a biomarker linked to age-related diseases based on its sensitivity to oxidative DNA damage and inflammation. Methylmercury (MeHg) is a common pollutant in fish. It may induce oxidative stress leading to shorter TL. However, previous research showed contradictory results and dose-concentration dependencies and non-linear relationships have been suggested. This study was car
Orchestrating Sustainability : Government Platforms for Material Circulation
Public sector organizations increasingly use digital platforms to foster value co-creation among diverse stakeholders and to address complex societal challenges, such as those related to sustainable development. Different kinds of digital platforms have been recognized as potential drivers of the societal transition toward a circular economy. However, little is known about the organization, govern
Inborn errors of immunity are associated with increased COVID-19–related hospitalization and intensive care compared to the general population
Background: It is thought that patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are more susceptible to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) than the general population, but a quantification of this potential risk is largely missing. Objective: We assessed the impact of COVID-19 on patients with IEI. Methods: A nationwide cohort study was performed to estimate the relative risk (RR) for hospita
Musica viva: Jörg Widmann
The clarinetist, composer, and conductor Jörg Widmann is one of the shining lights of contemporary music. His credo is to combine tradition with new developments, resulting in timbres whose virtuosity, intensity, and directness both surprise and oftentimes confront the listeners, but also challenge them with quiet, fragile moments. The transparent, ethereal orchestral piece Armonica seems to defy

It is harder for me: A thematic analysis of lived experience of self-care, and its relationship with self-injurious behaviors in psychiatric patients
Self-injury is associated with significant psychological distress and functional impairments, including difficulties with self-care. However, little is known about how individuals engaging in self-injury perceive and manage self-care in their daily lives. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of self-care among individuals receiving psychiatric treatment for self-injury and to identify
Fire and Rescue Service Preparedness : Current Planning for Natural Hazards and the Role of Early Detection
Despite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally. Increasing our understanding of how to mitigate the consequences of such natural hazards through better detection, planning and preparedness, has constituted the overarching objective of this thesis. The thesis is based on three papers: PapDespite various ongoing international initiatives, the intensity and frequency of weather-related natural hazards is expected to continue to increase globally.

Caloplaca ruderum new to Sweden and new combinations in Flavoplaca (Ascomycota, Teloschistales)
Caloplaca ruderum is reported as new to Sweden from three localities. Based on a phylogenetic analysis it is transferred to the genus Flavoplaca, where the closest relatives are F. communis, F. maritima and F. havaasii. In addition, Caloplaca sol and C. itiana are transferred to Flavoplaca. The identities of C. itiana, C. calcitrapa, and C. dalmatica in the sense of British treatments are discusse
The Paradoxical Development of Liberal Governance : International Adoption Policy and Professional Social Work in Authoritarian South Korea, 1953–1976
This article explores the development of international adoption policy in post-liberation South Korea, emphasizing the roles of American and Korean professional social workers. By analyzing the orphan registry and a pivotal international adoption law, it reveals how international adoption in South Korea presents a unique opportunity to observe the formation of modern social policy in a newly liber
The Question of Adoption : ‘Divided’ Korea, ‘Neutral’ Sweden, and Cold War Geopolitics, 1964–75
This article examines the early development of South Korean intercountry adoption to Sweden. It focuses particularly on two disruptions in the movement of children between the two nations, drawing on archival sources in Sweden, South Korea, and Denmark. The article demonstrates that South Korean–Swedish adoption was deeply bound up in the shifting Cold War relations within and between the Korean p

‘We Deserve to Be Here’ : The Development of Adoption Critiques by Transnational Korean Adoptees in Denmark
Contrary to the dominant perception of transnational adoption as an act of goodness, an increasing number of Korean adult adoptees in Denmark have raised critical voices about the political economy of transnational adoption since the mid-2000s. They have participated in the adoption debate not just as individuals, but through collective critiques and mobilisation. This article looks at the develop
Nurses’ Work-Related Mental Health in 2017 and 2020: A Comparative Follow-Up Study before and during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic put a lot of strain on healthcare organizations. Nurses accountfor over 50% of healthcare staff, and how nurses perform in their work is influenced by a number ofhuman and work environmental factors. However, to our knowledge, there has not been a previousstudy with the intention to look at all areas that affect a sustainable working life and how theseimpact nurses’ mental we

Ray-tracing-assisted High-Resolution Parameter Estimation for Dynamic Millimeter-Wave Channels
An accurate description of the wireless channel is essential to the development of modern wireless systems. In order to mathematically model the propagation channel, one important prior step often done is high-resolution parameter estimation. The estimation accuracy of this step has a significant impact on how well the channel models can represent reality. In this paper, we address this by improvi
Variants in the DDX6-CXCR5 autoimmune disease risk locus influence the regulatory network in immune cells and salivary gland
Fine mapping and bioinformatic analysis of the DDX6-CXCR5 genetic risk association in Sjögren's Disease (SjD) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) identified five common SNPs with functional evidence in immune cell types: rs4938573, rs57494551, rs4938572, rs4936443, rs7117261. Functional interrogation of nuclear protein binding affinity, enhancer/promoter regulatory activity, and chromatin-chrom
