The hepatokine follistatin is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and promotes hyperglycemia in mice. Here we explore the relationship of plasma follistatin levels with incident T2D and mechanisms involved. Adjusted hazard ratio (HR) per standard deviation (SD) increase in follistatin levels for T2D is 1.24 (CI: 1.04-1.47, p < 0.05) during 19-year follow-up (n = 4060, Sweden); and 1.31

The recent more or less complete return and recovery in Skåne, southern-most Sweden, of epiphytic bryophyes known to have suffered from atmospheric pollution in the mid 1900’s, e.g. Zygodon rupestris, Antitrichia curtipendula, Leucodon sciuroides, Orthotrichum lyellii, O. speciosum and O. stramineum, is here discussed and illustrated on maps. However, apart from these successful recoveries, at lea

BACKGROUND: Long-term cognitive problems are common among elderly patients after surgery, and it has been suggested that inhalation anaesthetics play a role in the development of dementia. This study aims to investigate the hypothesis that patients with dementia have been more exposed to surgery and inhalational anaesthetics than individuals without dementia.METHODS: Using 457 cases from a dementi

Changes in the levels of arachidonic acid during ischemia in selectively vulnerable areas of the hippocampus were studied in the rat brain. Since neurons in the CA1 region are more vulnerable to ischemia than neurons in the adjacent CA3 region, the release of arachidonic acid in these two regions was measured during decapitation ischemia of 4- to 12-min duration. The concentration of free arachido

Abdominal sepsis is associated with dysfunctional hemostasis. Thrombin generation (TG) is a rate-limiting step in systemic coagulation. Neutrophils can expell neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and/or microparticles (MPs) although their role in pathological coagulation remains elusive. Cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced TG in vivo was reflected by a reduced capacity of plasma from septic

Designing a hole-transport material (HTM) that guarantees effective hole transport while self-assembling at the perovskite|HTM interface with the formation of an ordered interlayer, has recently emerged as a promising strategy for high-performance and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Hydrogen bonding (HB) is a versatile multi-functional tool for the design of small molecular HTMs. However, to

This paper presents a case study from the Gambella region of Ethiopia, where large-scale land concessions shape the resource system and necessitate adoption of new institutions. Private investors are free from water charges, and have the right to take over already built irrigation structures such as dams or main canals. The Alwero river in Gambella, located in the Baro-Akobo river basin, is one of

Sustainable development agenda in general and environmental considerations in particular have become deeply embedded into the ways the public and decision makers are thinking about trade policy. European Union, while not being the very first adopter of ambitious policies on this front as part of its free trade agreements (FTAs), has emerged throughout the 2010s as the most consistent one. From the

Den fria rörligheten för varor regleras i EU-rätten genom artikel 34 FEUF som förbjuder kvantitativa importrestriktioner och åtgärder med motsvarande verkan. Statliga handelsmonopol regleras utifrån artikel 37 FEUF och tillämpas på bestämmelser som härrör till ett statligt monopols särskilda funktionssätt. Sveriges alkoholmonopol tar sig uttryck genom Systembolaget och är förenligt med EU-rätten eThe free movement of goods are regulated in the EU-law through article 34 TFEU which prohibits quantitative import restrictions and actions with equivalent effect. Governmental trade monopolies are regulated based from article 37 TFEU and applies to rules relating the specific functioning in a governmental monopoly. Sweden’s alcohol monopoly is expressed through Systembolaget and constitutes an ex

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Sen den industriella revolutionen har koldioxidhalten i atmosfären nästan fördubblats, från 280 ppm till 360 ppm. Detta har skapat stora diskussioner om hur vårt klimat kommer att påverkas. Koldioxid (CO2) är en växthusgas och med detta menas att den absorberar inkommande energi och på så sätt värmer upp vår jord. I denna studie har fokusen lagts på hur vegetati

Data is essential for the competition in digital economy. Online platforms use advanced technology to utilize users’ data to improve competition advantage. The occurrence of data monopoly has become a new type of monopoly in the data-driven market, frequently appearing through abusive practices that lock in users and increase entry barrier.

Godssektorn spås bli en tidig användare av självkörande fordonsteknik. Minskade drivmedelskostnader, ökad flexibilitet i ruttplaneringen och utökade drifttider är exempel på incitament för godsföretag att ställa om till en självkörande lastbilsflotta. Automatiseringen kommer mest sannolikt ske gradvis. I tidiga skeden spås självkörande lastbilar (AT:s) ha en konservativ körstil där körfältsbyten uThe truck sector is thought to be one of the first adopters of autonomous driving technology. Reduced fuel- and labour costs, increased flexibility in scheduling and increased hours of service, are all incentives for the freight companies to go autonomous. The automation of the truck fleet is likely to be gradual. At first, autonomous trucks (AT:s) are expected to have a conservative driving style

Lack of oxygen delivery to the cells results in excessive production of oxygen free radicals in the cells leading to a pathological condition postulated as hypoxia. One of the most crucial transcription factors that can adapt to the fluctuating levels of hypoxia is Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1α (HIF-1α). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is amongst the common lung diseases majorly caused

Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #2 2023-02-13 Ylva van Meeningen Hi! The other day I talked to an international PhD student who had learned the term ‘vårkänsla’ in Swedish and how difficult it is to time when you actually should feel it. In English this means ‘spring feeling’ and is that feeling you have of new energy and refreshment when you feel the increasing strength in the sun’

Den 9 april 2025 presenterade Miniminivåutredningen sitt delbetänkande SOU 2025:31, i vilket förslag bland annat lämnades på begränsningar i rätten till offentligt biträde i asylprocessen. Förslagen har sin grund i EU:s migrations- och asylpakt, mer specifikt den nya asylprocedurförordningen. Medan förordningen förespråkar en effektiv process som värnar om de asylsökandes rättigheter, är förslagenOn April 9th 2025, the so called Miniminivåutredningen presented its report SOU 2025:31, in which proposals were made, among other things, on restrictions on the right to be represented by a public legal counsellor through-out the asylum process. The proposals are based on the EU’s Migration and Asylum Pact, and more specifically the new Asylum Procedure Regulation. While the Regulation intends on
