Type 2 diabetes burden among migrants in Europe : unravelling the causal pathways
European populations are ethnically and culturally diverse due to international migration. Evidence indicates large ethnic inequalities in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. This review discusses the burden of type 2 diabetes and its related complications, and the potential explanatory mechanisms among migrants in Europe. The current available data suggest that the rate of type 2 diabetes is highe
MicroRNA31 and MMP-1 contribute to the differentiated pathway of invasion -with enhanced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition- in squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is an important mechanism of invasion in cutaneous squamous cell carcinomaas (cSCCs) and has been found to be enhanced in tumors originated from actinic keratosis with transformation limited to the basal epithelial layer -differentiated pathway-, compared to cases with invasion subsequent to complete epidermal transformation -classical pathway-. Several m
Strategies for greening the economy in three Nordic countries
Green economy is a concept frequently used by governments and international institutions to promote sustainable transformations of the economy. In this study, we explore how the transition towards a green economy is being conceptualised in policy terms in the three Nordic countries Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Comparing these cases, we analyse strategic policy documents on green growth, circular e
Anorectal malformations – surgical aspects and transition
Background: Anorectal malformations (ARM) occur in 1/5000 live births (1.2–1.6:1 male:female). Associated malformations are common, influencing, together with ARM-subtype complexity, long-term outcome, follow-up and need of transitional care. Reconstructive surgery, the posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP), is performed in infancy, either as a single-stage or multi-stage procedure with a colo
Rational approximation of the Ernst equation for dual angle R1 mapping revisited: beyond the small flip-angle assumption
Nanoparticle-Assisted Pool Boiling Heat Transfer on Micro-Pin-Fin Surfaces
Boiling heat transfer intensification is of significant relevance to energy conversion and various cooling processes. This study aimed to enhance the saturated pool boiling of FC-72 (a dielectric liquid) by surface modifications and explore mechanisms of the enhancement. Specifically, circular and square micro pin fins were fabricated on silicon surfaces by dry etching and then copper nanoparticle
Measured glomerular filtration rate does not improve prediction of mortality by cystatin C and creatinine
Background: Cystatin C may add explanatory power for associations with mortality in combination with other filtration markers, possibly indicating pathways other than glomerular filtration rate (GFR). However, this has not been firmly established since interpretation of associations independent of measured GFR (mGFR) is limited by potential multicollinearity between markers of GFR. The primary aim
CKD : A Call for an Age-Adapted Definition
Current criteria for the diagnosis of CKD in adults include persistent signs of kidney damage, such as increased urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio or a GFR below the threshold of 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 This threshold has important caveats because it does not separate kidney disease from kidney aging, and therefore does not hold for all ages. In an extensive review of the literature, we found that G
Markers of renal function at admission and mortality in hip fracture patients : a single center prospective observational study
Plasma cystatin C and shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) are associated with increased mortality in older adults. The objective was to assess the association between these markers of kidney function at admission and mortality in hip fracture patients. Hip fracture patients presenting at Lund University Hospital were eligible for inclusion. Cox regression was used to assess association between plasma cys
Polyesters with vanillin-based rigid spirocyclic structures
Synthesis and properties of biobased aliphatic polyesters containing a spirocyclic dicarboxylate derived from levulinic acid
Stability of albumin, protein HC, immunoglobulin G, kappa- and lambda-chain immunoreactivity, orosomucoid and alpha 1-antitrypsin in urine stored at various conditions
Urine samples from 10 randomly selected patients with advanced renal disease were each divided into six aliquots and a preservative solution containing benzamidinium chloride, EDTA, tris(hydroxymethyl)-aminomethane and azide was then added to three of the aliquots. Aliquots with and without additive were then stored at room temperature for up to 7 days, at 4 degrees C for up to 30 days and at -20
The ‘New Urban Science’ : towards the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary pursuit of sustainable transformations
Digitalisation is an increasingly important driver of urban development. The ‘New Urban Science’ is one particular approach to urban digitalisation that promises new ways of knowing and managing cities more effectively. Proponents of the New Urban Science emphasise urban data analytics and modelling as a means to develop novel insights on how cities function. However, there are multiple opportunit

Enhetslösningarnas tyranni
Storskalighet, centralism och likriktning. Enhetslösningarnas tyranni breder ut sig i det moderna samhället, från storföretaget till den statliga byråkratin. Men vill vi förstå – och kunna motverka – denna process måste vi söka oss bortom de vanliga uppdelningarna mellan vänster och höger och mellan stat och marknad.
