The current situation of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR) is considered by many as one of the most pressing human rights violations of the last few decades. The Uyghurs, being an ethnic minority in China, are voiceless under the current political leadership, which suppresses anything deviating from the official course set up by the Party leaders in Beijing. The legal guarant

This volume consists of 19 chapters that reflect the titular theme - Voiced and Voiceless in Asia - from a variety of angles, making use of diverse scholarly approaches and disciplines, while focusing specifically on China, India, Japan, and Taiwan. The chapters are broadly divided into two parts: (1) Politics and Society, and (2) Arts and Literature, although the texts included in the second part

Types and functions of roles in work groups are presented in overview followed by a discussion of relations between roles, personality and team roles. Role conflicts, role stress and problems in roles are discussed and advice is given on how to apply small group role theory to group work in higher education and the chapter ends with suggestions for exercises and a few role related instruments.

Every person diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) needs to initiate treatment. The World Health Organization estimated that 61% of people who developed TB in 2021 were included in a TB treatment registration system. Initial loss to follow-up (ILTFU) is the loss of persons to care between diagnosis and treatment initiation/registration. LINKEDin, a quasi-experimental study, evaluated the effect of 2 in

The Western Gneiss Region (WGR) is a Precambrian basement domain in the Scandinavian Caledonides and one of the world's largest high- and ultrahigh-pressure terranes. The south–central WGR underwent regional eclogite facies metamorphism 415–400 Ma ago when Baltica subducted beneath Laurentia, during the Scandian orogeny. Eclogites in the WGR group into two traditional types: (1) Precambrian mafic

Objective: To report national data on diagnostics and treatment of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) from the Swedish National Registry of Urinary Bladder Cancer (SNRUBC). Patients and methods: Data from 2015 to 2021 were retrieved, and descriptive analyses were performed regarding incidence, diagnostic modalities, preoperative tumor staging, quality indicators for treatment including the us

Introduction: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) becomes more common with increasing life expectancy, but general population prevalence estimates are lacking. We investigated an epidemiological distribution of signs of PN among 2,996 community-dwelling participants in Good Aging in Skåne Study, age 60–97, and their impact on physical and autonomic function. Methods: Signs of PN were measured with Utah Ear

Introduction: The ability to find human remains as well as locating surfaces that previously have been exposed to human remains, is essential for crime solving and is widely known throughout the whole forensic community to be a complex process. Background: Human bodies will undergo a decomposition process that generates volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The scientific community has been evaluat

A healthy diet has demonstrated its effectiveness in preventing globally rising lifestyle-related diseases including type 2 diabetes. Moreover, previous researches investigating polar lipids suggest that these compounds could potentially enhance metabolic variables associated with type 2 diabetes. Consequently, the present study assessed two commercial lecithin preparations, rich in polar lipids,

Objectives: We aimed to discover CpG sites with differential DNA methylation in peripheral blood leukocytes associated with body mass index (BMI) in pregnancy and gestational weight gain (GWG) in women of European and South Asian ancestry. Furthermore, we aimed to investigate how the identified sites were associated with methylation quantitative trait loci, gene ontology, and cardiometabolic param

Med anledning av att två kulturinstitutioner – Världskulturmuseet i Göteborg och Halmstads konsthall – visade utställningar med speltema under sommaren 2023, såg Hedvig Jalhed och Mattias Rylander anledning att reflektera över spelens status i förhållande till konst och kultur av idag. Centralt i deras betraktelse är synen på agens i lek och spel, samt ludik som konstform. Med utgångspunkt i de bä
