Background: The continuous global rise of end-stage kidney disease creates a growing demand of economically beneficial home-based kidney replacement therapies such as peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, undesirable absorption and exposure of peritoneal tissues to glucose remain major limitations of PD. Methods: We compared a reference (standard) automated PD regimen 6 × 2 L 1.36% glucose (76 mmol/L
Land degradation continues to be an enormous challenge to human societies, reducing food security, emitting greenhouse gases and aerosols, driving the loss of biodiversity, polluting water, and undermining a wide range of ecosystem services beyond food supply and water and climate regulation. Climate change will exacerbate several degradation processes. Investment in diverse restoration efforts, i
Elastic turbulence has emerged as a promising method to enhance heat transfer performance at the microscale. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the overall convective heat transfer performance in curved channels, overlooking the fact that the chaotic flow intensity varies along the streamline, leading to diverse local heat transfer characteristics. In this study, we systematically in
A long-standing question in evolutionary biology is how historical biogeographic processes have shaped the current diversity of organisms, especially for highly diverse groups. We study the diversification dynamics and biogeographic processes of one of the most diverse families of Lepidoptera, Geometridae, with over 24,000 described species and a worldwide distribution. Despite the cosmopolitan di
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a common disease that in its advanced stages is a life-limiting condition and a leading cause of death globally. This thesis aims at increasing the understanding of the socioeconomic disparities that exist both for COPD and its major risk factor, tobacco smoking. A related aim is to advance the theory and epidemiological methods used to evaluate equi
Background: People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have described their walking difficulties as linked to activity avoidance, social isolation, reduced independence and quality of life. There is a knowledge gap regarding predictive factors of perceived walking difficulties in people with PD. Such knowledge could be useful when designing intervention studies. This study aimed to investigate how perce
In order to meet the demands of globalization, universities across the world are in the process of managing issues of multilingualism (Doiz et al. 2013; van der Walt 2013). In Sweden, since the passing of the Language Act in 2009, state-funded universities are obliged to use Swedish as their official language while also becoming increasingly internationalized. While the Language Act makes Swedish
Background: Overweight and obesity have increased considerably in low- and middle-income countries over the past few decades, particularly among women of reproductive age. This study assessed the role of physical activity, nutrient intake and risk factors for overweight and obesity among women in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 1004 women aged 15–49 ye
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases
AIM: To investigate the changes in prevalence and incidence of pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes in Sweden during 2005 to 2013.METHODS: We obtained data on gender, date of birth and pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically treated diabetes from national registers for all Swedish residents.RESULTS: During the study period a total of 240 871 new cases of pharmacological

Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decision- making. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation
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
