Sambandet mellan fysisk aktivitet och hälsa är starkt, och det känner de flesta till. Men den allmänna kunskapen om fysisk träning är ofta diffus eller svag, och att ge goda råd för att hjälpa andra att nå sina träningsmål kan vara svårt. I denna bok finns kunskap och redskap som kan användas för att förebygga och behandla ohälsa från ett praktiskt håll baserat på den senaste vetenskapen.I Träning

BackgroundOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survivors generally report good health-related quality of life, but physical aspects of health seem more affected than other domains. Limitations in physical function after surviving OHCA have received little attention.AimsTo describe physical function 6 months after OHCA and compare it with a group of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) contr

Expectations on collaboration between public authorities and civil society organizations (CSOs) have increased in Sweden the past decades, partly due to changes in the organization of welfare services. This article investigates a collaborative project within the migrant integration policy area. It is a collaboration between the employment offices in a region of Sweden and local CSOs with the commo

Purpose: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is a marker of insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction and has the advantage of being universally available. Although recent evidence suggests the TyG index has relevance to respiratory health, there have been no prospective studies assessing its value as a biomarker for chronic lung diseases. We aim to assess the TyG index as a potential ri

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is released by stressed human vascular cells and promotes vascular cell repair responses in both autocrine and paracrine ways. Subjects with a low capacity to express HGF in response to systemic stress have an increased cardiovascular risk. Human atherosclerotic plaques with a low content of HGF have a more unstable phenotype. The present study shows that subjects wi

BackgroundPremature ventricular complexes (PVCs) are known to predict heart failure (HF) and premature atrial contractions (PACs) are known to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke. PVCs and PACs share pathophysiological mechanisms; however, the combined effects of PVCs and PACs on HF, AF, and stroke risk have not been studied.ObjectivesTo study elevated PVC counts on 24-hour electrocardiogr

Archaeologists have traditionally framed the impacts of natural disasters in terms of societal collapse versus cultural resilience. The 7.3ka cal BP Kikai-Akahoya (K-Ah) ‘super-eruption’ in south-western Japan was among the largest volcanic events of the Holocene. Here, the authors deploy a multi-proxy approach to examine how K-Ah devastated Tanegashima Island. While local Jōmon populations were a

Abstract in FrenchDepuis longtemps, les anthropologues sont fascinés par les adaptations similaires et les différences intrigantes des cultures circumpolaires. Ces tendances ont été cartographiées, étudiées et interprétées sous différents angles, souvent à des niveaux sociaux ou spatiotemporels différents. Même si ces études ont produit d’importantes quantités de données, celles-ci ne couvrent pasAnthropologists have long been fascinated by the strikingly similar adaptations of circumpolar cultures as well as their puzzling differences. These patterns of diversity have been mapped, studied, and interpreted from many perspectives and often at different social and spatiotemporal scales. While this work has generated vast archives of legacy data, it has also left behind a fragmented understan

Avhandlingen utforskar antijudisk rasism som ett strukturellt fenomen som är inneboende i det svenska samhället. Medan forskningen ofta har skiljt studiet av antijudisk rasism/antisemitism från andra rasismer, placeras den här avhandlingen inom fältet kritiska rasstudier för att utforska den antijudiska rasismen som en del av större samhälleliga och rasmässiga strukturer. Teoretiskt ramas studien The dissertation explores anti-Jewish racism as a structural phenomenon inherent to Swedish society. While research often has separated the study of anti-Jewish racism/antisemitism from other racisms, this dissertation is located within the field of critical race studies to explore anti-Jewish racism as part of larger social and racialised structures.The study is theoretically framed by a feminist

Ocean Water Quality (OWQ) monitoring provides insights into the quality of water in marine and near-shore environments. OWQ measurements can contain the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of oceanic waters, where low OWQ values indicate an unhealthy ecosystem. Many parameters of water can be estimated from Remote Sensing (RS) data. Thus, RS offers significant opportunities for moni

Vegetation is the main component of the terrestrial Earth, and it plays an imperative role in carbon cycle regulation and surface water/energy exchange/balance. The coupled effects of climate change and anthropogenic forcing have undoubtfully impacted the vegetation cover in linear/non-linear manners. Considering the essential benefits of vegetation to the environment, it is vital to investigate t

Precipitation, as an important component of the Earth’s water cycle, plays a determinant role in various socio-economic practices. Consequently, having access to high-quality and reliable precipitation datasets is highly demanded. Although Gridded Precipitation Products (GPPs) have been widely employed in different applications, the lack of quantitative assessment of GPPs is a critical concern tha
