To what extent did employers' attempts to control work processes and increase work intensity by introducing new wage systems lead to labour conflicts in the decades around 1900? I adress this question by combining two approaches. Firstly, by reviewing newly digitized micro-level data on work stoppages in Sweden from 1863 to 1927. Secondly, by compiling case-study evidence on work processes and ind

ObjectivesTo study if active sun exposure among women affects the risk of developing GCA or PMR in a prospective cohort study with restricted latitudinal variability.MethodsWe linked the response to questions relating to sun exposure from the Melanoma Inquiry in Southern Sweden (MISS) prospective cohort study in women to the risk of developing GCA or PMR. Healthcare data were gathered from the Skå

The growing number of disease-specific patient registries for rare diseases has highlighted the need for registry interoperability and data linkage, leading to large-scale rare disease data integration projects using Semantic Web based solutions. These technologies may be difficult to grasp for rare disease experts, leading to limited involvement by domain expertise in the data integration process

The ongoing conflict and the impact of Russia–Ukraine war pose significant challenges to various sectors, including the agri-food industry. The agricultural industry serves as a backbone for many world economies, contributing significantly to their gross domestic product. The continuing war and shifting economic environment have greatly affected grain production, encompassing crops like wheat, mai

Det här är en lärobok om hur fastigheter får sitt värde och hur detta värde kan bedömas. Med utgångspunkt i nationalekonomisk teori beskrivs en värdeteori för fastigheter som förklarar hur fastighetsvärden uppstår ur mänskliga behov. Det förklaras hur värdena också påverkas av hur fastigheters användning regleras i lag och politik. Från värdeteorin går boken över till värderingsteori och beskriver

PURPOSE: To investigate the role of pelvic floor devices (e.g., biofeedback, electrical stimulation, magnetic stimulation, or their combination) as adjunctive treatments in pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after radical prostatectomy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review with meta-analysis. We searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and prospec

Haemophilus influenzae is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia. While studied extensively in various laboratory models, less is known about the cell function while inside the human lung. We present the first analysis of the global gene expression of H. influenzae while the bacteria are in the lung during pneumonia ( in vivo conditions) and contrast it with bacterial isolates that have be

The deposited dose of particles in the respiratory tract is an important factor for understanding health effects of aerosol particles. It is a combination of the exposure, volume of inhaled air and particle deposition. At increasing activity the minute ventilation ( volume of breath x number of breaths ) increase . Little is known about if and how this affects the regional particle deposition.

Air pollution affects human health and is particularly bad for susceptible groups, such as children. Health effects of air pollution are dependent on the particle deposition in the respiratory tract. To better understand the particle deposition for children we need to gain more knowledge about how and when the structure of the peripheral lung is developed.1

Objective: The episode patterns of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) may carry important information on disease progression and complication risk. However, existing studies offer very little insight into to what extent a quantitative characterization of AF patterns can be trusted given the errors in AF detection and various types of shutdown, i.e., poor signal quality and non-wear. This study ex

Objective To assess the contemporary prevalence of, and factors associated with angina pectoris symptoms, and to examine the relationship to coronary atherosclerosis in a middle-aged, general population. Methods Data were based on the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS), in which 30 154 individuals were randomly recruited from the general population between 2013 and 2018. Participants
