Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure. It is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and it often persists after successful renal transplantation. sHPT is associated with osteoporosis and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The possibility that structural changes in international trade might impact countries differently has been a matter of great concern for many observers from the 1950s onwards, and the view that the specialisation pattern of a country in international trade matters for its economic performance has been widespread. This paper analyses the structural changes in international trade from the 1960s omwa

The dramatic shifts that occurred to the Chinese economy in the recent decades led to the emergence of companies that have fulfilled the internal market needs and now try to compete on the global level. Among others, Chinese automotive industry is currently struggling to establish its products in the markets of developed countries; however, the results are modest due to low level of technological

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is quickly moving from mere imagination to material reality. As I write, billions of dollars are flowing into this nascent industry from government, philanthropy, and venture capital; this thesis thus attempts to grasp history as it flies. By employing a Marxist theoretical approach, including concepts like the real subsumption of nature and the spatiotemporal fix, I d

This thesis aims to answer the following questions: How does the EU Commission approach the issue of climate justice, more specifically climate reparations? What discursive patterns and inconsistencies are present in the EU Commission’s stance on climate justice? What are the relationships between the EU Commission and actors representing the Global South on the topic of climate reparations? How d

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) become more advanced and more accessible which leads to new ways of work. A rather new phenomenon is that of location independent workers (LIWs), who are enabled by these technologies to work while traveling the world. New ways of working assumingly lead to changes in the work-nonwork interface. This study takes a demands and resources approach to

Sweden was one of the first countries in the world to declare that it had a feminist government, following years of high rankings on global gender equality indexes and a relatively stable image of Sweden as a gender equality leader. However, the declaration has been accompanied by scholarly inquiry defying claims connected to Swedish feminist governance, often challenging its transformative capaci

The audiobook is a format that has invaded the Swedish book market. Through it’s format it has made literature available to more people, just like the paperback did when it was first introduced on the market. By simply having the book on your phone, it’s easier than ever to take it with you and can be played while the listener does other things, such as traveling, cleaning or performing other acti

The aim was to study whether stimuli that cannot be detected consciously might nevertheless influence subject’s higher cognitive functions, and whether such an effect differs in individuals with different levels of state-trait anxiety, social desirability and “Repressor”. Participants (N = 56) listened to a classical piece of music in which subliminal messages were embedded. These messages could b

Temporary migration to advanced countries from developing ones and its effects on host countries are important issues in contemporary demographic studies. Economic performance of return migrants from the U.S. in Mexico has been studied from the viewpoint of financial gains from working abroad. This paper looks into an impact of human capital accumulated through working in the U.S. on economic outc
