Introduction This study aimed to determine the prevalence of unsafe listening practices from exposure to personal listening devices (PLDs) and loud entertainment venues in individuals aged 12-34 years, and to estimate the number of young people who could be at risk of hearing loss from unsafe listening worldwide. Methods We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence

The honeybee gut microbiome is thought to be important for bee health, but the role of the individual members is poorly understood. Here, we present closed genomes and associated mobilomes of 102 Apilactobacillus kunkeei isolates obtained from the honey crop (foregut) of honeybees sampled from beehives in Helsingborg in the south of Sweden and from the islands Gotland and Åland in the Baltic Sea.

For the supercritical n-decane horizontally flowing in a rectangular channel of an active regenerative cooling system, a transient thermal-fluid-structure coupling method is employed to investigate the unsteady thermal-hydraulic characteristics and the wall deformation at a starting stage. The temperature distributions of the fluid domain and solid domain along the flow direction are investigated

We investigate the quench dynamics of quasi-one- and two-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates of Dy164 atoms under the influence of a fast rotating magnetic field. The magnetic field thus controls both the magnitude and sign of the dipolar potential. We account for quantum fluctuations, critical to formation of exotic quantum droplet and supersolid phases in the extended Gross-Pitaevskii

We investigate a Bose-Bose mixture across the miscible-immiscible phase transition governed by quantum fluctuations in one dimension. We find the recently predicted so-called mixed bubbles as ground states close to the mean-field miscible-immiscible threshold. These bubbles form a pocket of miscibility, separated by one of the components. The collective excitations reflect the symmetry breaking re

Transgender people report significantly poorer mental health than cisgender people. In psychological research, these health disparities are explained by theories of minority stress and microaggressions, while other disciplines use theories on normativity, livability, affective work, world making and utopias. Such theories are seldom picked up by psychologists even though they could serve to help p

Huntington’s disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the protein huntingtin (HTT). A therapeutic strategy for Huntington’s disease is to lower the levels of huntingtin in the brain. However, multiple clinical trials have been stopped due to adverse effects. This indicates that there is still a lot that we do not understand about huntingtin. Similarly to other neurodegenerative d

BackgroundRisky sexual behavior is a public health challenge that significantly affects young people’s health and well-being in Sweden and throughout the world. Moreover, poor mental health, anxiety and depression among adolescents and young adults have increased in recent years. However, although hypothesized, the associations between general mental health and risky sexual behavior among young ad

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

In this article, I approach the issue of stereotyping on two levels. First, methodologically, by revisiting the somewhat classical discussion on the sources of theology, discussing methods of correlation in the theologies of Paul Tillich and David Tracy, and arguing that acknowledging other religious traditions as sources of Christian theology can actually work as an antidote to theological stereo

The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare some of the popular, and yet marginalized apocalyptic narratives in contemporary Muslim and Christian thought. Obviously, the two traditions have many things in common and yet there is an apparent antagonism between them. In order to further investigate into the tensions between Muslim and Christian apocalypticism, this article will focus on ho
