Iraqi born immigrants in Sweden have higher prevalence of metabolic diseases compared to native Swedes. Copeptin, a marker for vasopressin, is associated with increased risk of metabolic disease. In this cross-sectional population study based on the MEDIM cohort we investigated differences in copeptin levels between Iraqi and Swedish born individuals and if the association between copeptin and car
Consumers’ ethical efforts are capped by unethical market forces. A longitudinal study of anti-consumers shows that when systemic support was removed, consumers previously fully committed to ethical lifestyles, exhibited symptoms of an ethical consumption gap, suggesting the problem lies not with the individual (gap) but with the context (cap).

Work and working conditions are fundamental social determinants of health. Climate change poses an urgent and growing threat to workers' health, through both direct exposure to environmental hazards and indirect exacerbation of social and health inequalities. Occupational health, which focusses on the promotion of mental and physical health and well-being of workers, is a key but often overlooked

Microorganisms can be used for production of pharmaceutical substances. With the introduction of gene technology, it is possible to transfer information from one organism to the other, thereby making the receiving organism capable of producing substances that it did not so before. This development is very important for e.g. production of therapeutic proteins However, when using living organisms fo
Obesity is associated with increased triacylglycerol (TAG) storage in adipose tissue and insulin resistance. The mobilization of stored TAG is mediated by hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and the recently discovered adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). The aim of the present study was to examine whether ATGL and HSL mRNA and protein expression are altered in insulin-resistant conditions. In addition,
The long-standing debate in the scientific community about whether ferroelectricity or ferroelasticity is the key property influencing the optoelectronic behavior of metal halide perovskites continues. In this study, we experimentally investigate the temperature dependence of photoluminescence from CsPb(Br1−xClx)3 nanowires and their heterojunctions. Our findings show an enhancement of the exciton
This chapter examines the integration of living materials into architectural design, focusing on the use of mycelium composites formed through fungal biotransformation. As architecture faces increasing demands for environmental responsibility, material innovation has turned toward biological systems capable of replacing high-impact construction materials. Mycelium, the filamentous body of fungi, o
Pond water is used in everyday life by many people in Bangladesh, however, without sufficient and reliable information regarding water quality and pollution status. For this reason, geospatial analysis and mapping of water quality indices such as metal (MI), contamination (Cd), and physicochemical water quality index (WQI) were assessed to improve the understanding of potential pollution sources.
In recent years, gig work – short-term and temporary assignments mediated via digital platforms – has captured the interest of media and research and is growing as an area of academic inquiry. Previously research has mainly focused on the regulations and breadth of gig work. Gig work can be been understood as a significant break from ‘standard employment relationship’, meaning that we are now head
If we find life on another world, it will be an extremely important discovery and we will have to take great care not to do anything that might endanger that life. If the life we find is sentient we will have moral obligations to that life. Whether it is sentient or not, we have a duty to ourselves to preserve it as a study object, and also because it would be commonly seen as valuable in its own
Cities are the pinnacle of human change to the environment, creating unique types of ecosystems which present many challenges to local organisms: habitat fragmentation, introduced species, and various pollutants. Being crucibles of anthropogenic effects, urban ecosystems offer opportunities to understand how humans impact nature. Moreover, since a majority of the world’s population resides in citi
