Objective To date, the major pathways contributing to cardiovascular disease among night shift workers remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as novel regulators of cardiovascular risk factors and are estimated to control more than 30 candidate miRNAs among night shift workers.Materials and Methods RNA was extracted from plasma samples of 110 night and 90day shift worker

Objective Exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) occurs during several occupational activities and leads to lung cancer. Growing evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA) plays an important part in carcinogenesis. This study was to explore circulating miRNAs of Cr(VI) exposed workers and to identify the potential biological function of differentially expressed miRNA (DEM).Material and Methods This

By connecting an uncertain present to a potential future, predictions and other forms of projected futures construct meaningful contexts on which actors can lean when seeking to act in the face of uncertainty. This article outlines the background and careers of many, and often contradicting, futures that informed the collective work to define and represent Covid-19 in Sweden during the first half

Objective To systematically review and synthesise the incidence and characteristics of injuries and illnesses among athletes participating in the Olympic, Youth Olympic and Paralympic Games.Design Systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sources PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science were searched up to 2 July 2024, and Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO International Clinical T

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

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

Bob Emerson’s influence on Swedish sociology is wide-ranging and multifaceted. Bob presented this ethnomethodological approach to ethnography on several occasions to a Swedish audience. Our loose network of cultural criminology in Lund developed into what is now the Crime, Control, Culture group at our department, a successful research community consisting of BA and MA courses, researchers, lectur

Although political governance guides education and research, there are options for researchers, educators and curators to act in the spirit of academic freedom. The deontological ethical guidelines stabilize the archaeological establishment no matter what kind of work. The utilitarian dimensions within archaeological research and higher education open up for critical thinking.Twisting and turning,

This paper provides a practical guide on how to effectively use the MARRYS helmet for recording and analyzing jaw movements in speech research. Rather than introducing the device itself, which has been described in detail in Gudmundsson et al. (2024), this guide focuses on the setup, data collection, and analysis workflows essential for successful experimental work. Applications include language l

This article examines the paradoxical role of borders in shaping crime in the 21st century, particularly within the context of some of the world’s most profitable and harmful transnational and organized crime. Drawing on examples such as drug trafficking, environmental crime, and Internet-based crimes, it is argued that the proliferation of ‘borders’—both physical, bureaucratic, and digital—has cr

In this study we investigated the tongue and jaw movements during heavy metal growling in comparison to modal voice to enlighten us about the relationship between the laryngeal and oral articulator. Similarly to harsh voice, growling employs supraglottic structures like the ventricular and aryepiglottic folds. Previous research suggests that the tongue dorsum assists in laryngeal constriction by r
