Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary and self-construal theorists suggest that gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger in more egalitarian countries, reflecting the greater autonomy support and flexible sel

AIM: This study aims to evaluate the effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors on lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).METHODS: This is a multicenter, open-labeled, randomized controlled study. T2D patients with HbA1c 6.9-8.9% (52-74 mmol/mol) who were under treatment with sulfonylurea were randomly allocated to either the sitagliptin group or the non-sitagliptin grou

Bakgrund: Venpunktion är en omvårdnadsåtgärd som kan orsaka smärta och obehag. Barns negativa upplevelser av vården kan ge konsekvenser för välmående och utveckling, varför sjuksköterskor som arbetar med barn spelar en viktig roll i att förhindra dessa. Sjuksköterskor ska motverka all form av onödigt lidande som åsamkas av vården och barnets rättigheter behöver synliggöras och skyddas eftersom bar

Bakgrund: Barnfetma är en av de största och allvarligaste utmaningarna för folkhälsan i vårt århundrade. Förekomsten av fetma bland barn har mer än fördubblats under de senaste två decennierna och debuterar redan i förskoleåldern. Sjuksköterskor inom barnhälsovården finner att genomförandet av hälsosamtal med föräldrar och barn kan vara en stor utmaning trots relevant utbildning. Behovet av att ko

Internet services can aid steps towards sustainability, but can also be a means of exploitation and power-ownership. Data centres are an intrinsic part of this system, but reporting regulations do not require full disclosure on them. This paper takes the position that incomplete or misleading reporting is a form of delay discourse. Using the case study of Spotify, a structured literature review wa

The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a project aimed at studying the magnetic connectivity of the solar atmosphere, from the deep photosphere to the upper chromosphere. Its design combines the knowledge and expertise gathered by the European solar physics community during the construction and operation of state-of-the-art solar telescopes operating in visible and near-infrared wavelengths: the Sw

This thesis puts the question if the Islamic Association of Sweden (Islamiska förbundet I Sverige) can be considered to be a branch of the global, Islamist movement The Muslim Brotherhood. This question is highly controversial in Swedish political and academic conversation. To answer it, an investigation is carried through of the organization, ideology, and practical politics of the two movements.

Human gut microbiota produce a variety of molecules, some of which enter the bloodstream and impact health. Conversely, dietary or pharmacological compounds may affect the microbiota before entering the circulation. Characterization of these interactions is an important step towards understanding the effects of the gut microbiota on health. In this cross-sectional study, we used deep metagenomic s

PURPOSETo provide precise age-specific risk estimates of cancers other than female breast and ovarian cancers associated with pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 for effective cancer risk management.METHODSWe used data from 3,184 BRCA1 and 2,157 BRCA2 families in the Consortium of Investigators of Modifiers of BRCA1/2 to estimate age-specific relative (RR) and absolute risks for 22 first

Small nuclear collisions are mainly sensitive to cold-nuclear-matter effects; however, the collective behavior observed in these collisions shows a hint of hot-nuclear-matter effects. The identified-particle spectra, especially the ϕ mesons which contain strange and antistrange quarks and have a relatively small hadronic-interaction cross section, are a good tool to study these effects. The PHENIX

Pitting corrosion on 316L stainless steel has been widely studied, but knowledge is lacking within food processing environments. A new test setup was developed to enable electrochemical measurements inside a heat exchanger (pasteurizer) where solutions can be heated and cooled rapidly, allowing for corrosion tests of solutions that do not withstand high temperatures for a long period of time. Afte

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning har visat att olika vårdformer kan påverka mödrars känsla av trygghet och välbefinnande. Känslan av trygghet efter förlossning är grundläggande för barnets utveckling och välmående samt för modern, paret och föräldraskapet. Brister samt behov av förändringar i eftervården har lyfts av Socialstyrelsen, bland annat har den sjunkande amningsfrekvensen uppmärksammats. Syf
