Growing evidence shows that air pollution exposure plays a critical role in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. Pollutants such as airborne particles smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) are linked to systemic inflammation, oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction, thereby increasing the risk of hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and myocardial infarction. Understanding the patho
The importance of gut microbiota in early life and the contribution of breast milk to human health and disease prevention has attracted extensive attention as studied by culture-independent metagenomic technologies. However, the fraction and assembled dynamics of culturable early gut and breast milk microbiota remain unexplored. In this study, longitudinal culture-enriched metagenomic sequenc
Wastewater has been recognized as a source of valuable energy and water resources, and high-salinity wastewater in particular provides an opportunity to harness salinity gradient energy. In this study, cation-selective graphitic carbon nitride/silk nanofiber (C3N4/SNF) nanofluidic membranes with different SNF amounts were fabricated and characterized. The C3N4/SNF membrane (with 10 wt% SNF) displa
Wild edible fruits are underexplored sources of nutrients and bioactives. This study assessed the bioactive profileand in vitro functional properties of four Mozambican wild fruits: Adansonia digitata (AD), Dialium schlechteri (DS),Garcinia livingstonei (GL), and Syzygium cordatum (SC). Phenolic compounds (PCs), dietary fibers (DF), minerals,and sugars were analyzed along with phenolic bioaccessibWild edible fruits are underexplored sources of nutrients and bioactives.

This video essay explores material-discursive listenings through embodied and co-creative relationships with textile materials as non-human companions. Building on the PhD thesis Crafting Material Bodies – Exploring Co-creative Costume Processes, the essay extends the notion of ‘listening with costume’ (Østergaard 2024) toward textile materials, arguing that such listenings unfold through touch, m
This paper draws on Karen Barad’s agential realism - which understands agency asrelational rather than individually possessed (2007) - to examine how costumes canact as active hosts capable of creating temporary, sensorial, and co-constitutedcollectives; tactile agents that co-create relational bodies. Central to this approachis embracing the differences bodies bring - their varied orientations, h
There is currently widespread concern that rapid technological change will fundamentally change the nature of work. In this paper we show that, despite 140 years of technological change, more than 70 percent of employment today is located in occupations whose core economic functions already existed in the late nineteenth century. Full-count Swedish census and administrative data from 1880 to 2019,
In dit hoofdstuk wordt een overzicht gegeven van het indirecte klimaatrecht in het Neder landse fiscale stelsel. Belastingen worden niet alleen gebruikt om overheidsinkomsten te genereren, maar ook om gedrag te beïnvloeden. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit verschil lende fiscale deelterreinen laten de auteurs zien dat de wetgever bij zijn keuzes om fiscale maatregelen in te zetten om vervuilend ged
Hur väl fungerar egentligen sjukvården? Ett vanligt sätt att svara på den frågan är att mätaproduktivitet – alltså hur mycket vård som produceras i förhållande till de resurser somanvänds. I dag bygger den officiella statistiken i Sverige främst på att räkna antaletvårdkontakter, behandlingar och vårdtillfällen, justerat för vad de kostar. Det ger en bildav hur mycket vård som utförs, men säger be
Skjutningarna i Sverige minskar kraftigt. Vad har hänt? Vi har inte besegrat gängbrottsligheten, och svaren finns heller inte i socioekonomin. Det som rent faktiskt har skett är att en lång rad repressiva åtgärder har införts. Exakt vilka som gav effekt är för tidigt att säga, men klart är att något har ändrats, skriver Ardavan M Khoshnood, docent i akutsjukvård.Shootings in Sweden are falling sharply. What has happened? We have not defeated gang crime, nor can the answers be found in socioeconomic factors. What has in fact happened is that a long series of repressive measures has been introduced. It is still too early to say exactly which of them had an effect, but one thing is clear: something has changed, writes Ardavan M. Khoshnood, Associate Professo
Wild bees and hoverflies are key pollinators, but their populations are declining in Europe. As the monitoring of each species would be arduous to implement, a cost-effective solution could be a shift from species level monitoring to an evaluation of the trends of functional groups. However, the lack of centralized trait databases hampers progress, as data are often dispersed across literature, li
ObjectiveCritically ill patients with septic shock frequently exhibit variability in antibiotic pharmacokinetics. We aimed to investigate the antibiotic concentration and time over minimum inhibitory concentration in patients with septic shock treated with prolonged and intermittent infusions.MethodsWe performed a post hoc analysis of a prospective study of patients with septic shock admitted to t
