This research and policy brief focuses on conflict and displacement as key factorscontributing to statelessness and barriers to acquiring and holding Myanmar citizenship. The brief is designed as a working document for discussing important issues relevant for local governance during the revolution and national and state-level governance in the future. To aid in these conversations and policy devel

We use individual-level income data from archived taxation lists to study top-income earners in Sweden from 1909 to 1950. Using information on 21,055 individual taxpayers in two elite areas in greater Stockholm, we show that top incomes fell in real terms over this period, at a stable pace without obvious connection to the Great Depression or the world wars. The peak of inequality was related to tWe use individual-level income data from archived taxation lists to study top-income earners in Sweden from 1909 to 1950.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer lacking effective drugs and therefore new treatment targets are needed. In this study, we define the role of homeobox protein B6 (HOXB6) and HOXB8 in controlling pancreatic cancer tumorigenesis and immune response. Transcriptomic analysis comparing human embryonic and PDAC tissue identified a large overlap of expression profiles suggesting

Covid-19-pandemin aktualiserade frågor om smittskyddsåtgärder inom äldreomsorgen, särskilt i relation till isolering av äldre. Denna artikel undersöker de rättsliga hinder som finns för att införa isolering – förstådd som ett krav på minimala kontakter med omgivningen – som åtgärd för att begränsa smittspridning på äldreboenden. Artikeln söker i synnerhet besvara frågan om vissa isoleringsåtgärder

BACKGROUND: Food choice decisions are complex processes influenced by various factors that affect the family's diet and, thus, their health and nutrition. In low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia, these factors are shaped by the ongoing nutrition transition, urbanization, and socio-economic challenges. Despite growing concerns about the double burden of malnutrition, the factors influenci

BackgroundDiagnostic imaging is a dynamic medical field. In nuclear medicine, advancements introduce new procedures utilising innovative radiopharmaceuticals. These developments may influence supply requirements and exposure levels for the patient population. Surveying the frequency of procedures, types of pharmaceuticals, and administered activities provides valuable insights into utilisation tre

AIM: Factors associated with unexpected absence or presence of coronary atherosclerosis in individuals at high/low estimated cardiovascular (CV) risk are largely unexplored. We assessed two extreme phenotypes: 1) no coronary atherosclerosis despite very high CV risk; and 2) severe-extensive coronary atherosclerosis despite low CV risk.METHODS: A multicenter, cross-sectional nationwide, population-

BackgroundLow- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including Bangladesh, are experiencing a nutritional transition characterized by rising unhealthy food consumption (UFC), which increases the risk of nutrient deficiencies and chronic diseases in children. Despite this concern, research on UFC among Bangladeshi children aged 6–23 months is limited. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the preva

The goal of this article is to demonstrate the importance of pilot studies in empirical eye-tracking research. First, we show what can go wrong when proper pilot experiments are omitted for all phases of an eye-tracking study, from testing an experiment, conducting the data collection, to building, revising, and interpreting the data analysis. Second, we describe a series of eye-tracking studies a

It is often said that we need more 'radical imagination' to challenge the status quo and envision societies otherwise. But what does that really mean? How might it be nurtured? And what role can approaches at the intersection of art and science play? The What If Garden (TWIG) invites you on a journey into radical imagination. Take a walk. Be inspired. Wander, and let your imagination unfold in mov
