Introduction and aim: Air pollution, a major environmental threat to human health, contributes to the premature deaths of millions of people worldwide. Cooking with solid fuels, such as charcoal and wood, in low-and middle-income countries generates very high emissions of particulate matter within and near the household as a result of their inefficient combustion. Women are especially exposed, as

Purpose Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) are both considered suitable for antero-medial osteoarthritis and spontaneous osteonecrosis of the knee. National registry data are consistent in showing higher revision rates for UKA. Adequately adjusted, these findings may be challenged by differences in adverse events and patient-reported outcomes, as both can ha

"This new edition of Lund and Learning paints a picture of Lund as a city of learning, from the age of the medieval bishops to the university reforms of the 1990s."

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of gonorrhea, the second most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Reproductive sequelae of gonorrhea include infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. Most antibiotics currently in clinical use have been rendered ineffective due to the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance among gonococci. The developmental pipe

Due to a general expansion of Swedish public sector in the 1960s and 70s, there was a perceived need not only for closer contact between citizens and government agencies, but also for more government information about citizens’ rights and responsibilities. Following a government report called Expanded Government Information (1969), where a modernized and more active form of government information

During World War II, both Nazi Germany and the Allies invested heavily in propaganda in neutral Sweden. The battle for hearts and minds did not only involve widespread dissemination of propaganda, but Stockholm became a veritable hotspot for espionage as well as intelligence gathering on enemies’ propaganda efforts. Moreover, throughout the war, the Allies used Sweden as a key gateway to circulate

Transitions from one socio-technical regime configuration to another entail long phases of institutional complexity, where two or more field logics co-exist in a sector and induce incompatibilities and frictions. This paper presents a dynamic phase model, which characterizes the types of institutional complexity that may build up and settle across various phases of a transition, illustrated with a

We systematically investigate the complexity of counting subgraph patterns modulo fixed integers. For example, it is known that the parity of the number of k-matchings can be determined in polynomial time by a simple reduction to the determinant. We generalize this to an nf(t,s)-time algorithm to compute modulo 2t the number of subgraph occurrences of patterns that are s vertices away from being m

For a better understanding of the effects of regional groundwater management for different land-use types on nitrogen content in groundwater, we investigated the Miyakonojo River Basin in south of Japan where the Nitrate Directive Plan has been in practice since 2004. For this purpose, we used nitrogen concentrations from 420 wells between 2000 and 2017 together with 8 different land-use categoriz

This study presents cross-sectional data on adjectival agreement in second-language (L2) learners of Norwegian with four different first languages (L1s). The target language has full noun phrase agreement between article, adjective and noun, and the source languages represent different agreement conditions, similar to or different from the target language. Sixteen learners participated in the studThis study presents cross-sectional data on adjectival agreement in second-language (L2) learners of Norwegian with four different first languages (L1s).

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder in which both rare and common genetic variants contribute to disease risk. Multiple genes have been reported to be linked to monogenic PD but these only explain a fraction of the observed familial aggregation. Rare variants in RIC3 have been suggested to be associated with PD in the Indian population. However, replication studies yie

Objectives: Studies suggest preeclampsia as a risk factor for long term cardiovascular diseases (CVD), while evidence is limited regarding the risk of high blood pressures (BP) in early pregnancy. Study design: A register-based follow-up of 2434 mothers in the Helsingborg Birth Cohort. Associations of high BP in early pregnancy (>95th percentile systolic [SBP], diastolic [BDP], or mean arterial BP

Based on the personal and professional stories of 30 women, this article presents the results of a pioneering research on gender mainstreaming in Colombia. The objective is to understand it in three different areas: the academia, the NGO sector, and the government, in order to analyze the intersectional resistance as a way to achieve structural changes against the multiple oppressions experienced

In Colombia, the process of reintegration into civilian life is intended to support the legal life projects of people who have belonged to organized illegal armed groups. This process has been led by the Agencia para la Reincorporación y la Normalización (national agency for reintegration into civilian life) through the Ruta de Reintegración (reintegration plan) since 2011. Drawing from a collabor
