Background: Birds that forage while covering distance during migration should adjust traveling behaviors as the availability of foraging habitat changes. Particularly, the behavior of those species that depend on bodies of water to find food yet manage to migrate over changing landscapes may be limited by the substantial variation in feeding opportunities along the route. Methods: Using GPS tracki

Objectives: Acquired brain injury (ABI) has long-lasting effects, and patients and their families require continued care andsupport, often for the rest of their lives. For many individuals living with an ABI disorder, nonpharmacologicalrehabilitation treatment care has become increasingly important care component and relevant for informed healthcaredecision making. Our study aimed to appraise econ

AimTo achieve the sustainable development goals there is no doubt that we need to transform e-commerce into a sustainable system. Individual efforts are not enough. We need changes at the system level. We also know that research and innovation are crucial for tackling this global and complex societal challenge. How do we transform e-commerce into a sustainable system? What key areas and issues nee

Controllable doping in semiconductor nanowires is essential for development of optoelectronic devices. Despite great progress, a fundamental challenge remains in controlling the uniformity of doping, particularly in the presence of relatively high levels of geometrical inhomogeneity in bottom-up growth. A relatively high doping level of 1E18 cm-3 corresponds to just ~1000 activated dopants in a 2µ

INTRODUCTION: This study examined trends in socioeconomic inequalities in obesity among Portuguese women and men using data from National Health Surveys (NHSs).METHODS: We analysed weighted data from adults aged 20-64 years from the 1998/1999 (n = 20,581), 2005/2006 (n = 13,088), 2014 (n = 7284), and 2019 (n = 5959) NHSs. Obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m 2, based on self-repor

The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on COVID-19 severity is unclear. In this population-based, nationwide study using multi-register data, we aimed to assess if OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity and how adherence to PAP treatment and clinical characteristics affect the risk. Swedish residents with COVID-19 infection January 2020–May 202

Background: Prenatal exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) may influence lung and immune system development, but previous epidemiological studies are inconclusive and have not extended into young adulthood. Objective: To examine associations between prenatal exposure to a mixture of PFAS and respiratory and immune-related outcomes in a cohort of males. Methods: We studied 866 male

Background: The multifactorial nature of chronic pain should be reflected in pain assessment. The aim of this observational study comparing samples from three generations assessed at different times was to present differences in pain, stress and mental well-being. Methods: Pain sites, widespread pain, stress (Perceived Stress Scale-4) and mental well-being (30-item General Health Questionnaire) we

Background: Testicular germ cell cancer (TGCC) originates during fetal life. Fetal exposure to environmental chemicals may contribute to its development, but epidemiological data are lacking. We investigated per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which can act as endocrine disruptors during fetal development, and TGCC risk in adulthood. Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study of 549

Pregnancy and lactation require large amounts of calcium potentially depleting the young adult bone. This study investigated BMD and fluctuations of BMD resulting from parity and lactation in the PEAK-25 cohort, a prospective observational study of women all aged 25 at inclusion and 35 at follow-up. The analyses use women who were nulliparous at baseline and parous (n = 573) or nulliparous (n = 17

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

Epitaxial shell is vital for enhancing the optoelectronic performance of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), especially for the wide bandgap blue QDs, yet the shell crystal structure's impact on thermal stability and photophysical behavior remains unexplored. It is reported that the ligand-directed synthesis of ZnS shells with zinc blende (ZB) or wurtzite (WZ) structure on blue WZ CdZnS cores, where

Introduction: Depression and anxiety are leading contributors to the global burden of disease among women yet help-seeking for mental health concerns remains limited in lower-middle-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and help-seeking behaviors, and to identify factors associated with the absence of help-seeking among ever-married women of reproduc
