The rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes among migrant populations from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) living in high-income countries (HICs) presents a significant public health challenge. Migrants often experience lifestyle changes, socioeconomic disadvantages and barriers to accessing healthcare, which can increase their risk for type 2 diabetes. This review explores the prevention an

Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet

This article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities. In doing so, the article introduces maintenance as its key concept, drawing on insights from maintenance studies and actor-network theory (ANT). Being both theoretically and empirically informed, maintenance means reconsiderinThis article explores lesson enactments as co-constitutive of human-technology relationality in everyday schooling, rather than neutral backdrops for educational activities.

As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental

PFAAs emission to the environment represents a potential risk to human health. Although, long-term global scale fate and transport models have been used to investigate potential trends in environmental levels, temporal trends and transports mechanisms of PFAAs are not fully understood. Due to high solubility in water, the behaviour of PFAAs in soil is important for environmental fate estimation an

Denna studie analyserar tillämpningen av artikel 22 i Europaparlamentets och rådets förordning (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) på kreditupplysningsverksamhetens kreditbedömning i form av kreditbetyg.

How we manage resources, in this case food, based on our culture is the core interest of human ecology. According to systems analysist Donella Meadows, cultural factors, i.e. our mindset, are the most difficult intervention points to access for system change - but also the most effective. This essay examines through a survey and a smaller experiment how prescribed norms and attitudes of social cir

Det ämne uppsatsen behandlar gäller arbetstagarbegreppet och plattformsarbete ur ett komparativt nationellt, svenskt arbetsrättsligt, och EU-arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Digitaliseringen av arbete har lett till delningsekonomins framväxt, såväl har nya mer flexibla och diversifierade anställningsformer utvecklats. Anställningsformen plattformsarbete innehar en stor heterogen arbetskraft med många oThe notion of the employee and work through platforms is to be the subject of the essay, examined from a comparative view of both national and EU-labour legislation. The digitalisation of work has brought forth the sharing economy, thence more flexible and diversified forms of employment. One of which, is platform work with a heterogeneous workforce causing legal disparative concerns. It is a form

Syftet med detta arbete har varit att undersöka faktorer som påverkar kombinationen av fastigheter inom detaljplanerat område som är taxerade för både bostadsändamål och industriändamål. Detta har gjorts genom litteraturstudier av relevanta lagar, och förordningar, en kvantitativ undersökning av fastigheter som är taxerade för ändamålen, en intervju med fastighetsvärderare samt en analys. Under p

The outcome of the European Union’s (EU) growing legitimacy crisis was building a closer relationship to its citizens. Civil society and thus Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at European level are seen as the remedy for the EU to improve their image and create more effective policy making. Ideally, national members of CSOs feed into the political discussion at the European level through active p

I detta examensarbete för kandidatexamen i Strategisk kommunikation har vi gjort en studie med syftet att öka kunskapen inom och förståelsen för ämnet formaanpassning, genom att ta reda på hur svenska produktionsbolag och kanaler arbetat strategisk med anpassning av tv-format samt vilka faktorer som leder till att en formatanpassning genomförs. För att nå vårt syfte har vi undersökt hur de tre pro
