BACKGROUND: Pregnancy, infancy, and childhood are sensitive windows for environmental exposures. Yet the health effects of exposure to nano- and microplastics (NMPs) remain largely uninvestigated or unknown. Although plastic chemicals are a well-established research topic, the impacts of plastic particles are unexplored, especially with regard to early life exposures.OBJECTIVES: This commentary ai
IntroductionFloods are the most common type of natural disaster worldwide and are projected to become morefrequent and more extreme. Cambodia is prone to annual, seasonal flooding. Floods impact health inmany ways and can disrupt the health system through destruction of infrastructure and loss ordiversion of human, economic and physical resources. Through knowledge acquisition and skillsdevelopmen
OBJECTIVES: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are important for clinical practice and research. Given the high unmet need, our aim was to develop a comprehensive PROM for systemic sclerosis (SSc), jointly with patient experts. METHODS: This European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)-endorsed project involved 11 European SSc centres. Relevant health dimensions were chosen an
Background: The global burden of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes could be decreased by improving dietary factors, but identification of groups suitable for interventional approaches can be difficult. Reporting of dietary intake is prone to errors, and measuring of metabolites has shown promise in determining habitual dietary intake. Our aim is to create a metabolic signature that is ass
Background Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) up to six months is sub-optimal globally. Tanzania has surpassed the World Health Assembly (WHA) target of increasing the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among children below six months to at least 50% by the year 2025 the median age of cessation of EBF is only three months. Objective To determine the time to cessation of exclusive breastfeeding and its ass

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the limited literature on sustainable consumption in Vietnam with a focus on the young urban consumer. Sustainable consumption is an important area to focus on as Vietnam is an emerging economy with a young population where consumption is increasing and where the young and fast-growing labor market underpins their economic prosperity. Vietnam is also e
Extinction Rebellion (XR) is a global climate justice movement. Founded in 2018 in the UK and arising partly out of the Rising Up! network, it has since spread across the globe with various local and working groups in 57 countries. While environmental in focus, XR appears to be more than what first meets the eye. Their decentralized, non-hierarchical and self-expressive cell network works both onl

Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog
Climate change, the energy crisis of 2022-2023, and estimations of future electricity demands have stressed the necessity for a rapid transition of the energy system. Offshore wind energy plays an important role in this transition, and is expected to expand considerably on a global level, in the EU and in Sweden. While Swedes show high support of wind energy, a majority of recent projects have bee
Changed land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of
Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir Climate change is having a great impact on the fragile High Latitude environment where warming is occurring at a rate at least double the global average. It is urgent to understand the relationship between climate and vegetation cover, which is playing an important role, as a carbon sink, for biodiversity, and for protecting against natural hazards. Less studied but equally i
Conspicuous consumption has been steadily growing and possess considerable functions in creating and expressing consumers’ self-identities. Conspicuous consumption is something that plays a large part in the consumers lives due not only the visible exchanges but also the symbolic value that it brings and creates a reciprocity between consumers self-identity and conspicuous consumption. This study
Climate change and socio-economic developments are projected to intensify land use pressures in northern latitudes, potentially driving agricultural expansion into Arctic and boreal ecosystems. This thesis examines the consequences of future climate and land use change on ecosystem services in the European Arctic, focusing on vegetation dynamics, carbon storage, crop productivity, and biophysical
