BACKGROUND: Coronary atherosclerosis detected by imaging is a marker of elevated cardiovascular risk. However, imaging involves large resources and exposure to radiation. The aim was, therefore, to test whether nonimaging data, specifically data that can be self-reported, could be used to identify individuals with moderate to severe coronary atherosclerosis.METHODS AND RESULTS: We used data from t

Vegetable oils are rich in health-beneficial compounds, including fatty acids, phenolic compounds, natural antioxidants, and fat-soluble vitamins. However, oil extraction methods can influence their composition. This study aims to understand the chemical basis for developing a green process to extract oils from two Andean seeds, cañihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule) and tarwi (Lupinus mutabilis). Eth

The COVID-19 pandemic had disruptive consequences for MENA countries’ agri-food value chains that exacerbated poverty and jeopardized food security. This study examines the relationship between individuals’ perception of contracting COVID-19 and their experience of food insecurity, using longitudinal data from the Combined COVID-19 MENA Monitor Household survey.

BACKGROUND: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(Ⅵ)) is classified as a group 1 human carcinogen and increases the risk of lung cancer. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have key regulatory roles in lung cancer, but less is known about their relation to Cr(Ⅵ) exposure.OBJECTIVES: We aimed to 1) measure the expression of lung cancer-related circulating ncRNAs in exposed workers and controls; 2) assess associations betwe

Background: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence is crucial for virological suppression and positive treatment outcomes among people living with HIV (PLHIV), but remains a challenge in ensuring patients achieve and sustain viral load suppression. Despite the recommended use of digital tools medications uptake reminders, the contribution of forgetting to take medication is unknown. This study inv

Objective: To investigate the associations between rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) and incident dementia using population register-based data. Methods: This nested case-control study was conducted based on a cohort of residents in the Skåne region, Sweden, aged 50 years and older in 2009 without doctor-diagnosed dementia during 1998 to 2009 (n = 402,825). Individuals with a new main

Digital infrastructure and the exercise of authority by social services: the case of social assistance in SwedenThis article explores how digitalisation impacts the discretionary space and decision-making processes of social workers in the administration of social assistance within social services. In the context of increasing digitalisation and automation in public administration, the study exami

The procedural and institutional rights granted by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights have an important impact at national level in the application and interpretation of competition law by national courts and national authorities. In Sweden, the situation is particularly fascinating since the principle of openness – which affords a maximum standard of human right protection – may conflict with t

Artiklen introducerer baggrunden for Retshjælpsprojektet, som er et retssociologisk forskningsprojekt, der undersøger borgernes adgang til hjælp og juridisk bistand. Retshjælpsprojektets unikke bidrag til vidensområdet er at inddrage borgernes perspektiv. Projektet inddrager borgernes perspektiv i et hidtil uset omfang, da deres perspektiv på adgangen til hjælp og juridisk bistand, herunder retshj

Contemporary society operates beyond safe boundaries of the Earth system. Returning to a safe operating space for humanity within Earth system boundaries is a question of justice. The relevance of the economy—and thus of business—for bringing society back to a safe and just operating space highlights the importance of business ethics research for understanding the role of business in Earth system

Retshjælpsprojektet er et retssociologisk forskningsprojekt, der undersøger borgernes adgang til hjælp og juridisk bistand. Retshjælpsprojektet bidrager med ny viden ved at inddrage borgernes perspektiv i et hidtil uset omfang, da deres perspektiv på adgang til hjælp og juridisk bistand, herunder retshjælp, er helt centralt for at kunne kortlægge de faktorer, der påvirker borgernes vej til hjælpen
