Academic research increasingly focuses on environmental sustainability as a specific societal mission to be addressed. However, the effects of the increasing sustainability orientation on output generation in public research organizations are largely unexplored. In this paper, we analyse the effects of the increasing importance of sustainability-oriented research topics on research and teaching ef

BACKGROUND: Most cerebral palsy (CP) cases have an unexplained etiology, but a role for environmental exposures has been suggested. One purported environmental risk factor is exposure to endocrine-disrupting pollutants specifically per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association between prenatal PFAS exposures and CP in Swedish children.METHODS: In this case-

Background: Since the first version of the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) developed in the past decade, several other versions have been developed. However, to date no study has attempted to compare these versions with respect to their associations with biomarkers of inflammation. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between four dietary inflammatory scores [DII, two energy-adjus

This article analyses the development of FinTech companies in relation to traditional banks in four countries: Denmark, Estonia, the Netherlands and Sweden. Based on approaches drawn from the sociology of markets and field theory, we analyse and theorize about empirical data from secondary sources, official documents and 38 interviews with key actors. Whereas digital technologies have been commonl

A crisis refers to some sort of disruption of established practices, routines, or procedures occurring whenever a risk has been realized (Battistelli & Galantino 2019; Beck 1986, 2006). For social actors exposed to crisis in the labor market, this means that they will have to navigate some sort of uncertainty, trying to respond to the consequences unfolding in their surroundings as well as in

Sepsis is a severe condition, representing a significant public health concern, especially in the elderly. There is, however, little insight into the potential effects of sociodemographic factors and comorbidities on sepsis incidence and how these factors interact. This was a nationwide open cohort study including individuals (N = 6746010) in Sweden ≥ 18 years of age spanning from 1997 to 2018, wi

OBJECTIVES: To compare somatic healthcare usage among older people with intellectual disabilities (ID) to that of their age-peers in the general population, taking into account health and demographic factors, and to identify predictors for somatic healthcare usage among older people with ID.PARTICIPANTS: Equally sized cohorts, one with people with ID and one referent cohort, one-to-one-matched by

Considering the climate crisis, critical marketing literature warns that the social legitimacy of marketing is at stake. Drawing upon the idea of imagined futures, we advance the notion that marketing can save its legitimacy by envisioning and “selling” the conditions of a sustainable future reality to society—as utopian.

Background: Intra- and interfractional variations in anatomy can cause unplanned substantial alterations of the dose distribution of the target in proton therapy. Motion management methods might be used in order to minimize anatomical variations. In the proton therapy of lung cancer, a potential motion management technique is the use of the voluntary breath-hold approach. The aim of this study was

Proton therapy has the potential to improve the local control rates and reduce the risk of toxicity forlung cancer patients. However, the delivery of proton therapy is prone to uncertainties caused byanatomical changes and motion during the treatment and between the treatment fractions whichmay compromise its effectiveness. The dosimetric uncertainty of lung cancer proton therapy can beminimized t

PURPOSE: (i) To report the prevalence of participants to a first-line intervention for OA in Sweden using over-the-counter (OTC) and/or prescribed NSAIDs; (ii) To estimate the accuracy of dispensed prescriptions of NSAIDs recorded in a Swedish health-care register to capture the use of NSAID considering clinician-report as reference standard.METHODS: Register-based study. We used data from OA indi

Adaptation to different ecological niches is considered one of the main drivers of species diversification, also in cryptic species complexes, notwithstanding their morphological stasis. We here review all the published information on ecological differentiation within cryptic species complexes within the phylum Rotifera. We found 177 instances of cryptic species identified genetically, published i

Context. Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) are common interstellar absorption features in spectroscopic observations but their origins remain unclear. DIBs play an important role in the life cycle of the interstellar medium (ISM) and can also be used to trace Galactic structure. Aims. Here, we demonstrate the capacity of the Gaia-Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) in Gaia DR3 to reveal the spatial

EUs textilstrategi har ett mål om reducerad miljöbelastning och ekonomisk tillväxt. Nu när nya stränga regleringar av kläder är att vänta, har vi kanske något att lära av 1700-talets textilpolitik.
