BACKGROUND: Breast milk provides infants with complete nutrition for immune development and protection against childhood diseases and associated mortality. Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) aids in providing colostrum to newborns, providing protection against infection, and improving newborn and infant survival. Although Simiyu reported the lowest prevalence of EIBF in Tanzania, no study ha

Continues to fill gaps between the descriptive, conceptual, and transformative sustainability science.Sustainability is increasingly important across functional sectors and scientific disciplines. Policy-makers, practitioners, and academics continue to wrestle with the complexity of risk, resilience, and sustainability, but because of the necessary transdisciplinary focus, it is difficult to find

In order to include all outlooks and perspectives on the world prevalent in contemporary society, countries like Sweden have replaced traditional religious education with worldview education. However, current worldview theory fails to make justice to two important facts concerning the contemporary religious landscape. Firstly, a great many people are semi-secular rather than traditional believers

Photoredox catalysis is a rapidly expanding field, in which organic transformations are catalysed using light. The most commonly used photoredox catalysts (PCs) are transition metal complexes which absorb in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Traditionally, such PCs are based on scarce and expensive metals, such as ruthenium or iridium, in combination with polypyridyl ligands. Res

Frontotemporal dementia is the second most common form of early onset dementia ( 0.41, P = 0.02. Education was not associated with age at onset (β = -0.05, P = 0.75). The presence of a right paracingulate sulcus was associated with an 83% increased risk of death per year after age at onset (hazard ratio 1.83, confidence interval [1.09-3.07], P < 0.02), whilst the mean age at death was similar for

Prenatal insults or adverse events during the in-utero period may lead to suboptimal function of adult organs because of the impairment of critical organ development and growth, as linked to lower birth weight. This may ultimately predispose the individual to the later onset of some diseases in adulthood, a process known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). There is ample eviden

Abstract in PortugueseA adoção, apropriação e uso da linguagem dos direitos humanos em discursos ativistas surgiram na década de 1970, em um momento em que ativistas aumentaram a conscientização global sobre a violência e a repressão durante as ditaduras militares no Brasil, Chile e Argentina (Eckel e Moyn, 2014). A violência dessas ditaduras foi um fator crítico no desenvolvimento do ativismo tra

Sedan oktober 2022 styrs Italien av en regering med Giorgia Meloni som premiärminister. Hon är ledare för partiet Fratelli d’Italia och har en bakgrund i två partier med fascistiska rötter: det neofascistiska Movimento Socia­le (MSI) och det postfascistiska Alleanza Nationale (AN). Intresset för den italienska fascismen och dess arvtagare har därmed fått ny näring.

The global burden of neurological disorders is substantial and increasing, especially in low-resource settings. The current increased global interest in brain health and its impact on population wellbeing and economic growth, highlighted in the World Health Organization’s new Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and other Neurological Disorders 2022–2031, presents an opportunity to rethink

När Sverige 1950 beslutade att gå med i Bretton Woods-institutionerna (Internationella valutafonden och Världsbanken) uteblev den offentliga debatten fullständigt. När vi nu står inför ännu ett historiskt vägval – EMU – kan vi likväl lära oss något av historien.

Craniopharyngiomas (CPs) are rare primary brain epithelial tumors arising in the suprasellar region from remnants of Rathke's pouch. About 50% originate at the level of the third ventricle floor, including the hypothalamus (HT). CPs are characterized by a low proliferation rate and symptoms due to mass effect and local infiltration and are managed primarily with surgery and radiotherapy. Gross tot

Vi har mycket att lära från länder som Kanada, där civilsamhället spelar en betydligt mer framträdande roll i integrationsarbetet. Det skriver professor emeritus Benny Carlson samt Oskar Adenfelt och Johanna Hemberg, Fores.
