Aspects of infant food factors on intestinal inflammation and effects of probiotics in celiac disease autoimmunity

Aims: The overall aim of this thesis was to study dietary components with focus on exposure and ability to affect gutpermeability, peripheral immune response and gut microbiota in children at genetic risk of developing CD. Thespecific aims were to study presence of food components that might induce intestinal inflammation, evaluatepossible effects on intestinal permeability by food emulsifiers, in

‘We didn’t want to leave our island’ : stories of involuntary resettlement from Gaadhoo Island, Maldives

With development displacing more people and planned relocation being espoused as an adaptation strategy in response to climate change, research that explores the experiences of those who have been resettled is needed. The Maldives has a history of resettlement based on an ongoing policy of consolidation of dispersed populations to ensure access to services. The paper explores the history, politics

The influence of emergency food aid on the causal disaster vulnerability of Indigenous food systems

Emergency food aid is the dominant humanitarian response to food insecurity precipitated by disasters. There is a significant literature on food aid effectiveness (e.g., bolstering food security, targeting, modality selection) in various disaster contexts. Additionally, there are some studies on the potential disincentive effects on agricultural production among other unintended consequences. Howe

“System of hunger” : Understanding causal disaster vulnerability of indigenous food systems

The exposure of vulnerable food systems to hazards often leads to outcomes such as food insecurity. In order to prevent such food insecurity, it is critical to understand the causal factors – or root causes – of vulnerability, particularly in a world of increasing risk. As such, this paper develops and implements a food system causal disaster vulnerability framework within the Bedamuni tribe of Pa

Loss and damage : A review of the literature and directions for future research

Climate change researchers argue that a residual domain exists beyond the limits of adaptation to prevent deleterious climate change impacts: this has been labeled as “loss and damage.” Over the last 8 years, there has been significant growth in loss and damage scholarship thus making it imperative to take stock of what we know already and directions for future research. We undertook a quantitativ

A Framework for Disaster Vulnerability in a Small Island in the Southwest Pacific : A Case Study of Emae Island, Vanuatu

The societal costs of disasters around the world are continuing to increase and Pacific Island countries are considered some of the most vulnerable. This is primarily due to a combination of high hazard exposure coupled with a range of social, economic, physical, and political vulnerabilities. This article contributes to the growing body of work that aims to understand the causal factors of disast

Conducive and hindering factors for effective disaster risk reduction in Emae Island, Vanuatu

Vanuatu is one of the most hazard prone nations in the world and frequently tops the World Risk Report as the nation with the highest overall disaster risk. The devastation wrought by category 5 cyclone Pam (2015), the El Niño drought (2015/16), and volcanic eruptions in Ambae (2018), are but a few recent examples of disasters which have disrupted livelihoods and curtailed development. The Vanuatu

The influence of emergency food aid on the causal disaster vulnerability of remote Indigenous food systems : A case study of the Bedamuni of Western Province, Papua New Guinea

Disasters are the result of a vulnerable socioecological system interacting with a hazard. Causal – or the root causes of – vulnerability relates to historical and contemporary social, economic, political, cultural, and biophysical processes and factors, and human and institutional actors that increase the susceptibility of socioecological systems. Indigenous cultures throughout Papua New Guinea s

Assessment of Amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) MRI for pre-surgical prediction of final diagnosis in gliomas

PURPOSE: Radiological assessment of primary brain neoplasms, both high (HGG) and low grade tumors (LGG), based on contrast-enhancement alone can be inaccurate. We evaluated the radiological value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) MRI as an imaging complement for pre-surgical radiological diagnosis of brain tumors.METHODS: Twenty-six patients were evaluated prospectively; (22 males, 4 female

Hur kan den lokala kulturpolitiken möta dagens och framtidens utmaningar? : Ny kulturstrategi för Malmö 2014-2020

Abstract: Sedan 1990-talet finns en till synes motstridig rörelse inom kulturområdet. Dels en tendens att kultursektorn, i dess nuvarande kulturpolitiskt mer traditionella avgränsning, uppfattas som alltmer marginaliserad. Dels att kultur i bredare bemärkelse efterfrågas i allt högre grad och inom allt fler områden. Rörelsen hänger samman med övergripande samhällsförändringar som globaliseringens Since the 1990s, there has been a seemingly contradictory movement in the field of culture. On the one hand, there is a tendency for the cultural sector, in its current cultural-political more traditional demarcation, to be perceived as increasingly marginalized. Secondly, that culture in a broader sense is in increasing demand and in more areas. The movement is connected with overarching societal
