BACKGROUND: It is not clear if the European Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation algorithm is useful for identifying prevalent subclinical atherosclerosis in a population of apparently healthy individuals. Our aim was to explore the association between the risk estimates from Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation and prevalent subclinical atherosclerosis.DESIGN: The design of this study was as a cros
Current methods for antibody structure prediction rely on sequence homology to known structures. Although this strategy often yields accurate predictions, models can be stereo-chemically strained. Here, we present a fully automated algorithm, called AbPredict, that disregards sequence homology, and instead uses a Monte Carlo search for low-energy conformations built from backbone segments and rigi
Objective To estimate, using numerical calculations, the depth of tissue damage in the uterus following balloon thermal endometrial destruction. Design A parameter, therapeutic depth, was defined. This was the maximum depth into the uterine myometrium, from the uterine cavity, at which a predefined temperature was reached after a certain time and with a constant intracavitary temperature. Setting

Syftet med studien var att undersöka universitetsstudenters användning av musik för emotionsreglering i vardagen, med särskilt fokus på att använda musik för att påverka hur en situation upplevs respektive att använda musik för att rikta uppmärksamheten bort från obehagliga tankar eller känslor. Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie via webbenkät. Det slutliga urvalet bestod av NThe aim of the study was to examine university students’ use of music for emotion regulation in everyday life, with a particular focus on using music to alter situational experiences and using music to redirect attention away from distressing thoughts or emotions. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design, with data collected through an online survey. The final sample consisted of N
Almost 30 years have passed since the dismantling of South Africa’s apartheid system, putting an end to the long history of racial segregation, discrimination, and oppression. But has it really changed? This research highlights the emergence of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) as an affirmative policy instrument to advance land reform and rectify the enduring inequalities in the country’s agricult
This study assesses the performance of buildings affected by climate change under future climate predictions for three time-periods until the end of the 21st century. Objects studied are residential multi-storey buildings, originally built before 1970 and retrofitted during the last decade. A total of four actual retrofit projects, as they were performed, in Denmark and Germany were assessed in th
We wanted to use this paper to something important, something real that someone needs and wants to read. After having sent a request to all social services in the City of Malmö, we had contact with a section that had an idea that we would look at their collaboration. This study concerns how collaboration may look like and how it might change to achieve results. Social Services exist to help the c

The Nordic states have played a central role in the production of knowledge within the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda. Through a strong research tradition in peace and conflict studies, extensive policy development, and significant international engagement, the Nordic region has contributed to both the theoretical and practical advancement of the agenda. In this article, we examine the WPS
Popular Abstract in Swedish Tarmsjukdomen celiaki, glutenintolerans, är en av våra vanligaste kroniska sjukdomar som utvecklas då man inte tål ämnet gluten, ett protein som framför allt finns i vete, råg och korn. För att utveckla celiaki krävs en genetisk sårbarhet, vilket innebär att man i arvsmassan bär på en benägenhet som gör att man kan utveckla sjukdomen vid intag av mat innehållande glutenAbstract Sweden experienced an epidemic (1984-96) of celiac disease in children, partly attributed to changes in infant feed- ing. Our aim was to compare the total prevalence of celiac disease in two birth cohorts of 12-year-olds and relate the findings to each cohort’s ascertained infant feeding. Furthermore, we compared the growth parameters in the children with screening-detected celiac disease
