We have recently described frequency-dependent effects of mobile phone microwaves (MWs) of global system for mobile communication (GSM) on human lymphocytes from persons reporting hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields and healthy persons. Contrary to GSM, universal global telecommunications system (UMTS) mobile phones emit wide-band MW signals. Hypothetically, UMTS MWs may result in higher bi

Objectives. BMD in the hand, as evaluated by digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR), has been suggested to be a predictor for joint damage in RA. A predictor for long-term prognosis might also predict increased mortality in RA. The aim of the present study was to evaluate BMD in the hand as a predictor for all-cause mortality. Methods. In 1978, 152 consecutive patients (78% women, mean disease duratio

Exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) may have adverse health effects. Central monitoring stations do not represent the personal exposure to UFP accurately. Few studies have previously focused on personal exposure to UFP. Sixty non-smoking residents living in Copenhagen, Denmark were asked to carry a backpack equipped with a portable monitor, continuously recording particle number concentrations (

The EUs Common European Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), requires its member states to speak with one voice at the multilateral fora where they are active. This includes the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which replaced the highly discredited UN Commission on Human Rights in 2006. Given that the EU treaty establishes that human rights constitutes founding principle for the Europea

Despite increased globalization since the 1980s in many sectors remained the textile and clothing trade regulated through countryspecific import quotas. In 2005, they were terminated by the Agreementon Textiles and Clothing (ATC). Subsequently it was expected that mostly China would gain in worldwide exports while preferentially treated countries and countries facing fewer restrictions would notic

In light of the escalating global polycrisis—a convergence of environmental, social, and mental health crises—this paper explores the potential of mindfulness-based approaches for fostering human and planetary wellbeing and sustainability. We specifically investigate the linkages between Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and sustainability, and how they can be strengthened to support trans

India’s productivity of rice production lags behind China’s. Given its status as global food supplier, it is not only national but also world’s concern. As part of an effort to improve rice productivity, India increased investments in research on breeding, which has resulted in many new varieties with higher yield suitable and available for Indian farmers. Despite the effort to encourage hybrid ri

Numerous Government have raised concerns about the absence of a global instrument that would regulate the ever growing trade in conventional arms and reduce the human suffering that the illicit transfers contributes to. Negotiations have been taken place and states and other participant such as NGO:s have been asked to contribute to the debate. Many different problems and criticisms have been rais

This essay aims to, with the support of an extensive corpus study, investigate the use of gotten in British English. Gotten is an alternative past participle of get which occurs mainly in American English, but is British in origin. The main goals of this essay are to investigate if and how this word is used in current British English, as well as how its use may have developed since the late 20th c

Syphilis has re-emerged as a public health threat during the 21st century, and updated knowledge of the epidemic and its drivers is needed to halt this worrying development. We present data on the incidence of syphilis in the south Swedish region Skåne from 2007 to 2022 to determine the burden of disease, changes in risk groups, as well as routes for testing. To get a picture of the burden of syph

We calculate the relativistic six-meson scattering amplitude at low energy within the framework of QCD-like theories with n degenerate quark flavors at next-to-leading order in the chiral counting. We discuss the cases of complex, real and pseudoreal representations, i.e. with global symmetry and breaking patterns SU(n)×SU(n)/SU(n) (extending the QCD case), SU(2n)/SO(2n), and SU(2n)/Sp(2n). In cas

Purpose: India has acquired global leadership in renewable energy (RE) deployment because of its commitment to achieve 175 GW of installed capacity by 2022. Entrepreneurship driven by innovation and policy push is essential for energy sector transition. Despite policy focus on the diffusion of RE technology, there are several challenges that plague innovation and RE entrepreneurship development in

Members of the general public assess risks of climate change differently than experts. Increasing the perceived risk through communication of climate change has been debated as a viable strategy to promote more sustainable behavior. This thesis exposes 412 subjects to four different messages regarding varying the likelihood and severity of averse consequences of global warming. Analysis of a two

Problem description: Alfa Laval, a global leader in providing solutions for heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, seeks to improve production scheduling at their component factory in Lund. They aim to digitalise the process by developing a digital twin (DT), a virtual model of the manufacturing system. The DT will simulate production flow to support decision-making and optimise scheduling
