Aims: Although diet is one of the main modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease, few studies have investigated the association between added sugar intake and cardiovascular disease risk. This study aims to investigate the associations between intake of total added sugar, different sugar-sweetened foods and beverages, and the risks of stroke, coronary events, atrial fibrillation and aortic

Objectives Pregnancy complications are common contributors to perinatal mortality and morbidity. Still, the cause(s) of gestational hypertensive disorders and diabetes are largely unknown. Some occupational exposures have been inconsistently associated with pregnancy complications, but exposure to whole-body vibrations (WBV) has been largely overlooked even though it has been associated with adver

Transport is one of the most important engines of development in the world and, unfortunately, it is one of the most painful taking into account how many people’s lives we are losing in it. Ensuring safe traffic, stabilizing a

Proper compensation during foreclosure is essential to any effort to protect borrowers as consumers. However, the effectiveness of consumer protection and other safety nets during foreclosure has been debated within academia.

Summary: In this population-based study, we compared the incidence of distal radius fracture in 2016 with that in the same region’s adult general population in 2001 using radiographs to identify fracture cases. We showed that the incidence decreased by 24% in 2016 compared with 2001 indicating an important development. Introduction: We conducted an epidemiological study on residents of northeaster

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

Few have been left unaffected by the outbreak and consequent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One group of people, namely those pregnant during the pandemic, faced a unique set of circumstances that this research has aimed to understand. The purpose of this research was to contribute to filling the knowledge gap by delving into the risk perception and protective behaviours adapted by pregnant peop

Är energigemenskaper ett lämpligt verktyg för att nå 100% förnybar energi till 2040? Den överhängande klimatförändringen innebär att människan står inför hennes kanske viktigaste vägskäl någonsin. Det börjar låta som en trop, men om vi inte börjar leva mer hållbart kommer våren kanske tystna för evigt. Energisystemet är en fundamental del i övergången till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Därför har

Clusters, agglomerations of companies in related industries, are a phenomenon which have been widely accepted to increase the productivity of its constituent companies. Many scholars hold the view that companies should utilise these favourable conditions and interact with clusters. Nevertheless, there exists limited literature on the topic how companies can interact with clusters outside of their

The recent immigration crisis is a topic of interest for many researchers nowadays. Although refugees represent the biggest number of immigrants in Europe, researchers tend to comprehensively tackle immigrant entrepreneurship and neglect refugees' distinctiveness. This qualitative study explores the phenomenon of refugee entrepreneurship and its common challenges based on multiple case studies

With an aging population, the need for elderly care is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. One challenge associated with this growth is hiring and retaining home care workers. The aim of this study was to investigate factors in the psychosocial work environment that may be of value to make people stay in elderly care. There are several factors at play, however the present study foc
