The United States is witnessing the emergence of what has popularly been coined Trumpism – a new conservatism inspired by the administration of Donald J. Trump, however, extending beyond to other far-right politicians. This research aims to better understand Trumpism as it relates to environmental (in)justice via a legislative case study analysis including the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA)

BACKGROUND: Gut microbiota have been implicated in atherosclerotic disease, but their relation with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis is unclear. This study aimed to identify associations between the gut microbiome and computed tomography-based measures of coronary atherosclerosis and to explore relevant clinical correlates.METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 8973 participants (50

Coparenting, denoting shared responsibilities in caring for a child, is a core component of parenthood for most parents. Research has linked quality in the coparenting relationship to several child outcomes as well as parent relationship satisfaction and mental health, yet whether and how these links may differ depending on child age is unclear. Here, we investigated links between coparenting qual

While recent progress has been made in several fields of data-intense AI-research, many applications have been shown to be prone to unintendedly reproduce social biases, sexism and stereotyping, including but not exclusive to gender. As more of these design-based, algorithmic or machine learning methodologies, here called adaptive technologies, become embedded in robotics, we see a need for a deve

In Sweden, household preparedness is central to crisis management, but local, comprehensive data on it is largely lacking. Additionally, in academia, there is uncertainty around the correlations between actual (AHP) and perceived household preparedness (PHP). This study aims to address both these issues through the exploration of a more comprehensive framework to assess household preparedness. The

In recent years, the construction industry has faced unprecedented challenges related to abnormal price increases on building materials, which have not been experienced since the 1970s oil crisis. These price hikes have been caused by a various of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, war in Europe, trade sanctions and high energy prices. Consequently, fixed-price contracts face the risk of si

Background: Accurate referral of boys with suspected undescended testes (UDT) is of importance to preserve fertility and reduce risk of future testicular cancer. While late referral is well studied, there is less knowledge about incorrect referrals, hence, referral of boys with normal testes. Objective: To evaluate the proportion of UDT referrals that did not lead to surgery or follow-up, and to a

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka huruvida användare på Flashback Forum kan förstås som en modern och digital version av vigilantes. Vigilantism innefattar att utan laglig befogenhet förebygga och utreda upplevda brott, samt straffa förövare. Trots att detta är ett vanligt förekommande finns det relativt lite forskning gjord på ämne i en svensk kontext. Flashback Forum är en svensk hemsida s

Abstract: In order to mimic physical characteristics of solid fat, ethylcellulose (EC) was used as an oleogelator in ice creams made with high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO). The aim was to improve structure of ice cream made with fully liquid vegetable oil by inhibiting droplet coalescence and to enable a colloidal fat network by making the oil droplets solid-like. Two different methods for incorpora

Circular economy (CE) has gained attention in the real estate and construction policy, practice, and research in the past few years. This study explores how two neighboring Nordic countries and EU member states, Sweden and Finland, are transitioning toward circularity in the real estate and construction industry context. The aim is reached through a review of CE policies on the national and indust

Chaperoner – kroppens egna försvarssystem mot neurodegenerativa sjukdomar Parkinsons sjukdom och Alzheimers sjukdom är exempel på neurodegenerativa sjukdomar vars orsak attribueras till aggregeringen av amyloida proteiner. Chaperoner som DNAJB6 har visat sig vara effektiva i att förhindra denna aggregering, och i detta arbete har deras termodynamiska beskrivning undersökts. Proteiner är kroppens bAmyloid proteins are a group of proteins with the ability to form large fibrillar aggregates, identifiable by their cross-β core structure. These aggregates are linked to several different neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease and due to the growing rate of people diagnosed, there is a need to combat these diseases. Aggregation of amyloid proteins is caused

Bioelectronics can potentially complement classical therapies in nonchronic treatments, such as immunotherapy and cancer. In addition to functionality, minimally invasive implantation methods and bioresorbable materials are central to nonchronic treatments. The latter avoids the need for surgical removal after disease relief. Self-organizing substrate-free organic electrodes meet these criteria an

This research focused on the media framing of the issue of protection and safeguarding of the Haenyeo community in Jeju Island, South Korea. The Haenyeo are a community of fisherwomen who free dive to harvest sea life and are representative of the matriarchal cultural tradition of Jeju Island. This study aimed to analyze how the issue is framed in regional media and explored the reasons portrayed

Manlig omskärelse är det vanligast utförda kirurgiska ingreppet i världen och har en historia som sträcker sig tusentals år bak i tiden. Ingreppet kan genomföras under hela livet men sker i stor omfattning under tidig barndom. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att sammanställa en ämnesöversikt över kunskapsläget om möjliga psykologiska konsekvenser av ingreppet i tidig barndom. En systematisk littMale circumcision is the most performed surgical procedure in the world and has a history that stretches back thousands of years. The procedure can be carried out throughout life but is to a large extent performed during infancy. The purpose of this study has been to compile a subject overview that clarifies the state of knowledge regarding possible psychological consequences of the procedure when
