Mapping a discussion on gender and sexualities in Islam needs to move beyond an understanding of Islamic law (shariah) and its interpretations that has traditionally been made by male religious scholars (ulamā). It is important to also pay attention to the lived experiences of people on the ground and move away from a homogeneous universal construct of what gender is and what sexualities are. It s
Clouds are essential elements within Earth's atmosphere, posing a challenge for cloud-resolving models in understanding the creation of new cloud ice particles from existing ice and liquid phases. Such ice initiation determines cloud microphysical and radiative properties, influencing cloud phase, precipitation and cloud extent/properties. To address this challenge effectively, it proves beneficia

Bakgrund: Kvinnlig könsstympning är ett globalt hälsoproblem. Varje år genomgår omkring 3,9 miljoner flickor könsstympning runt om i världen och omkring 200 miljoner har uppskattats genomgått denna sedvänjan Kvinnor och flickor som har genomgått en könsstympning eller har erfarenhet av detta kommer dagligen i kontakt med svensk hälso- och sjukvård, och vi som barnmorskor kommer ständigt att möta d

This paper synthesizes the available scientific information connecting atmospheric nucleation with subsequent cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) formation. We review both observations and model studies related to this topic, and discuss the potential climatic implications. We conclude that CCN production associated with atmospheric nucleation is both frequent and widespread phenomenon in many types o
The current climate crisis experienced in the 21st century is a never seen before challenge that needs a collective response to address this global problem. Current processes of adaptation concern themselves mostly on local, regional or national level. As of now, the response to climate risks has not led to a cooperative approach to the issue, which has led to detrimental effects for those countri
Textilavfall är ett globalt problem med stora konsekvenser för miljön. Endast i Europa slängs 7–7,5 miljoner ton textilier bort varje år, vilket motsvarar cirka 15 kilo textilavfall per person och år. Textil återvinning kan vara ett sätt att reducera mängden textilavfall som hamnar i deponi eller förbränns, genom att istället använda avfall som råvara för nyproduktion. En storskalig implementering
The article presents a synthesis of data from three village case studies focusing on how structural and cognitive social capital may have influenced the progression of the HIV epidemic in the Kagera region of Tanzania. Grounded theory was used to develop a theoretical model describing the possible links between structural and cognitive social capital and the impact on sexual health behaviours. Foc
We study left-invariant complex-valued harmonic morphisms from Riemannian Lie groups. We show that in each dimension greater than 3 there exist Riemannian Lie groups that do not have any such solutions.
Background: Biomass fuel smoke exposure contributes to respiratory infections in childhood, but its association with asthma has not been established. We studied the relationship of biomass fuel use with asthma symptoms and lung function in Nigerian children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 299 village children aged 5-11 years in North Central Nigeria. Data were collected regardin
Aims: This study explores the knowledge, attitudes and practices among Somali and Sudanese immigrants in Denmark with regard to HIV/AIDS and condom use. Material and methods: A 78-item questionnaire, divided into five thematic sections, was given to 192 purposively selected Sudanese and Somalis of both sexes, aged 18-49, who had lived in Denmark for one or more years. It was administered in Arabic
OBJECTIVE: To explore conceptions of obstetric emergency care among traditional birth attendants in rural Guatemala, elucidating social and cultural factors.

METHOD: Interviews with semi-structured, thematic, open-ende
This chapter proposes a novel conceptual framework for understanding how different knowledge bases (analytic, synthetic and symbolic) can be accessed and combined at different territorial scales, looking at which mechanisms can be used to favor positive transformation paths in local productive systems. We apply such framework to the role of combinatorial knowledge for sustainable transformation un
Cities are key actors in reducing both the causes of climate change (mitigation) and its impact (adaptation), and many have developed separate mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures. However, in order to maximize outcomes, both scholars and practitioners are increasingly calling for more integrated and synergetic approaches. Unfortunately, related research remains scarce and fragmented,
We addressed whether endothelin-1, a marker of endothelial dysfunction, predicts impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a population study in south-western Sweden. Follow-up after 9.7 years showed an association between circulating endothelin-1 levels at baseline and development of IGT/T2DM in women but not in men.
