Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are becoming an increasingly global concern. PFASs are highly fluorinated organic chemicals that represent a serious risk for environmental and human health. Due to their toxicological impact, PFASs are now included in several emission regulations. Even if the global level of PFASs use is decreasing much of present concentrations in the environ

AimsThe epidemiology of proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) has been described in terms of incidence, fracture complexity, and general time trends, but current literature on time trends in PHF complexity is limited. This study aims to explore possible time trends in PHF complexity and report the distribution of different types of PHF from January 1944 to December 2020.MethodsThe city of Malmö, Swede

As the drive to find sustainable and technological solutions to ongoing global problems becomes increasingly urgent, implementing timely innovation is needed now more than ever. The concept of regional innovation systems has recently gained popularity as a recipe for innovation and increasing knowledge transfer on a smaller scale. Specifically, the role of education in regional innovation systems

Background: Opioid use disorder is a chronic disorder with a high risk of overdose-related morbidity and mortality where a large proportion of these can be averted by timely administration of the antidote naloxone. For naloxone to be present when and where overdoses occur, broad-scale overdose education and naloxone distribution (OEND) must be established. A regional naloxone program was implement

Black carbon (BC) is produced by incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels and is released as aerosols to the atmosphere with effects on the climate, environment, and human health. Current BC emissions are well monitored in many parts of the world. However, the geographical coverage is limited, and historical records of BC accumulation are still scarce. Here we present a quantification of

Background: Evidence is limited on whether alterations in diabetes-related health parameters are detectable before clinical diagnosis in novel diabetes subtypes. We investigated trajectories of diabetes-related health parameters in individuals with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: Using data from the Stockholm Diabetes Prevention Programme cohort (SDPP) participants (n = 215) wit

Objective: Primary care is the base in many health care systems, and to identify the most registered diagnoses in primary care is a way to identify the overall health care use and needs in society. We estimated the rates of the 30 most common diagnoses in primary health care and their male to female ratio. Research design and methods: This was a study including inhabitants 18 years and older out o

In this study we investigate risk management trade-offs by evaluating how key persons at workplaces with a potential for exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) reason about what is practically possible in terms of exposure reduction. While the included companies (N = 14) represented different types of processes and work-tasks, interviewees all identified that many types of hazards compete for at

This study explores how academic scientists engage as experts in public debates characterised by scientific uncertainty and societal urgency, focusing on rhetorical positioning and communicative intentions. The research centres around the debate concerning COVID-19 measures in Sweden and analyses 109 opinion pieces written by scientists in various newspapers. The analysis identifies four ideal-typ

Objective: A diagnosis of childhood cancer is profoundly devastating for families, with well-recognized effects on parental mental health. However, its impact on parental somatic health remains poorly understood, particularly regarding potential long-term cumulative burden. These persistent somatic diseases require frequent clinic visits for ongoing management and adversely affect parents' quality

Geomagnetic field models constrained by direct observations extend back some 400 years and the magnitude of decadal to centennial variations that they display is often assumed to be typical of the secular variation over longer timescales. Here we present archaeomagnetic directions from layered Neolithic hearths in Orkney, dating to around 3000 BCE, that challenge this assumption. Combining stratig

Research aimThis paper examines place brand communication in marginalised urban areascharacterised by low levels of attractiveness to residents, visitors and investment. Most previous research on marginalised places has focused on issues such as crime prevention and securitydevelopment, rather than on branding and attractiveness. The aim of this research is to explore the roleof place branding eff
