This thesis examines how public health communication campaign messages should be tailored to promote healthier eating habits, using Region Skåne’s Ha det gott! campaign as a case study. Guided by social marketing theory, the Health Belief Model, and the WHO Strategic Communications Framework, the study explores how message tailoring can impact intentions for behaviour change in a public health con
As remote and hybrid work become institutionalized, Global Virtual Teams (GVTs) increasingly rely on digital communication to sustain collaboration. While communication technologies enable connectivity, they do not necessarily foster engagement or belonging among employees. This thesis examines how internal communication shapes employees’ experiences of engagement and belonging in newly formed Glo
En stor del av dagens bostäder i Sverige byggs med trästomme, något som också blir alltmer relevant i takt med ökade krav på byggnaders klimatavtryck. Det är därför mer intressant än någonsin för branschen att utöka kunskapen om träbyggnation och hur den kan effektiviseras. Byggnader behöver dimensioneras för horisontella laster. I låga bostadshus uppnås horisontalstabiliteten vanligen genom skiv
In this study, soil cores (0–20 cm) were collected at 45 sites located within a 30-km radius zone around the Belarusian nuclear power plant (BelNPP) in 2019 before its commissioning. Activity of gamma-emitting radionuclides was measured in the samples using HPGe detectors. The study revealed low levels of 137Cs in the soil: the weighted average dry weight (d.w.) activity concentration (ACw) varied
OBJECTIVE: Avacopan (AVAC), an oral selective C5a receptor inhibitor, has been approved for treatment in anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). Outside randomized controlled studies, real-world data are scarce. The aim of this study was to provide further insight into the clinical experience of AVAC.METHOD: We analysed data from 16 patients with severe AAV include
OBJECTIVE: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV) are chronic, relapsing inflammatory diseases, yet reliable biomarkers for detecting relapse and organ involvement remain limited. This study aimed to identify plasma protein biomarkers that distinguish active disease from remission and to explore markers associated with lung and kidney involvement.METHODS: Plasma
AIMS: We aimed to investigate if non-invasive pressure-volume (PV) loop variables by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) are associated with all-cause mortality or heart failure compared to mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and stroke volume (SV) in patients with revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).METHODS AND RESULTS: A total
BackgroundNearly 10% of the global population living with dementia resides in South Asia, a region of over two billion people with limited diagnostic and care resources. Clinicians require accessible, flexible, and contextually relevant training to improve dementia care in frontline settings.AimTo develop, pilot, and implement a multi-modal, interactive, hybrid training program to improve clinicia
IMPORTANCE: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancers cause substantial morbidity and mortality. People with HIV (PWH) and solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) are at heightened risk due to impaired immune function, but direct comparisons of these groups within the same population are limited; understanding the relative risk and contributing factors is essential for targeted prevention and s
Muon spin rotation (μ+SR) was used to investigate the magnetic properties of cobalt-intercalated 2H-NbSe2 (Co1/4NbSe2). Co1/4NbSe2 is predicted to be an altermagnet, and while neutron diffraction has proposed its magnetic structure, the microscopic details of this remain unclear. Therefore, a local probe investigation of the magnetism in Co1/4NbSe2 is essential. Our results reveal a sharp second-o
Laminar burning velocities (SL) of 2-butanone + air mixtures were measured using the heat flux method at atmospheric pressure over unburnt temperatures of 298–343 K and equivalence ratios of 0.7–1.4. The consistency among the present measurements, literature data, and model predictions was evaluated by means of the temperature and pressure dependences of SL. It was found that the present measureme
Epigenetic modifications influence gene expression and contribute to type 2 diabetes (T2D), but establishing causality requires targeted modulation of specific genes. CRISPR-dCas9-based tools offer this potential, yet β-cells are notoriously difficult to transfect, and efficient, non-viral delivery methods are lacking. Here, we developed nanopore-mediated electroporation to deliver a CRISPR interf
Human single-strand-selective monofunctional uracil DNA glycosylase 1 (hSMUG1) removes uracil, 5-hydroxymethyluracil (5hmU) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) from DNA, thereby initiating the base excision repair (BER) process. hSMUG1 is important for maintaining genomic integrity and plays a significant role in cancer biology. Here, we present the structures of hSMUG1, including complexes with products (ur
