During recent years, numerous studies have shown the ability of dietary fiber toprotect the colon from disease and to improve intestinal health. Beneficial healtheffects, such as the lowering of blood cholesterol levels and a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, are often directly related to cereal β-glucan, one of the major components of dietary fiber found in oat and barley. No defin
Purpose: A multifunctional diet (MFD) targeting subclinical inflammation was developed as a tool to decrease risk factors for cardiometabolic disease in healthy “at-risk” individuals (BMI 25–33 kg/m2). MFD contains several components that are degraded in the colon by the microbiota, such as dietary fibers from rye, barley, oats and berries. It also contains soy beans, oily fish and plant stanols.
BACKGROUND: Symptoms of anxiety, irritability, and agitation (AIA) are prevalent among patients with bipolar I disorder (BD-I) mania with depressive symptoms, and could potentially be used to aid physicians in the identification of this more severe form of BD-I. Using data from two clinical trials, the aims of this post hoc analysis were to describe the phenomenology of bipolar mania in terms of A
Fully localised solitary waves are travelling-wave solutions of the three- dimensional gravity–capillary water wave problem which decay to zero in every horizontal spatial direction. Their existence has been predicted on the basis of numerical simulations and model equations (in which context they are usually referred to as ‘lumps’), and a mathematically rigorous existence theory for strong surfac
Aims: Randomised trials indicate higher rates of stent thrombosis (ST) and target lesion failure (TLF) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with the Absorb bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) compared with modern drug-eluting stents (DES). We aimed to investigate the outcome of all Swedish patients treated with the Absorb BRS. Methods and results: The Absorb BRS (n=810) was compared with common
Objective: The associations of energy, protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake with weight status up to the age of 5.5 years were prospectively assessed in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. Methods: Food record data (over 3 days) and BMI measurements between 0.25 and 5.5 years were available from 5,563 children with an increased genetic risk for type 1 diabetes f
På senare tid har ett antal svenska företag inlett företagsrekonstruktion enligt det amerikanska rekonstruktionsförfarandet Chapter 11. Chapter 11 beskrivs som världsledande och har fungerat som förebild vid utformningen av i insolvenslagstiftning i flera jurisdiktioner. Chapter 11 betraktas generellt som mer gäldenärsvänligt än motsvarande förfaranden i andra jurisdiktioner. Det faktum att svenskRecently, several Swedish companies have initiated corporate reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Chapter 11 is widely recognized as a leading framework for corporate restructing and has served as a model for insolvency legislation in numerous jurisdictions. It is generally regarded as more debtor-friendly than comparable procedures in other legal systems. The fact that Swe
The donor community has increasingly acknowledged the principles of adaptability and flexibility as part of promoting development cooperation effectiveness. However, limited research has investigated the implementation of these principles, particularly by intermediary civil society organizations (CSOs). Wishing to address these gaps, this thesis examines the implementation of the principles by Swe
Oxygen concentrators are relatively small medical devices that concentrates oxygen from the ambient air next to the patient. They are widely used in low resource settings and in the home health care. For larger hospitals in Sweden and similar countries however, the most common oxygen source is liquid oxygen and oxygen cylinders, delivered from an off-site supplier. Liquid oxygen is often not an op
Providing protection and assistance to refugees is a permanent challenge for the international community. In 2014 EU created a New Agenda on Migration as a immediate response to the increasing inflow of third country nationals who risked their lives when crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The first part of the agenda stipulates that Europe should continue to be a safe haven for those fleeing persecut
Carrot juice concentrate (CJC) produced from fresh carrots is used in various applications in the beverage industry. Its quality is mainly defined by the carotenoid concentration which in turn strongly depends on the quality of the raw material and the processing technique. Manufacturers are constantly searching for new ways to produce a high-colour CJC. Thermal, enzymatic and mechanical treatment
Purpose: This study aims at researching how the ethical issues raised by big data practices can be used to motivate internal CSR actions based on stakeholder engagement. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative approach based on a participant observation while the authors were doing an Internship in the innovation department at Aller Media A/S. A set of semi-structured interviews with employee
Eternity and time are central concepts within the Prophetic Works. In the Prophetic universe, eternity is defined as a positive state of infinite potentiality, whereas time is depicted as a state founded on the exclusion of possibilities; hence, the existence of the human mind in time rather than in eternity severely limits the sum of his existence. Viewed as a whole, the Prophetic cycle can be se
Acknowledging that development initiatives often fail to bring about the long-lasting changes envisioned, the concept of ‘participation’ has been promoted to support principles such as ownership and sustainability. Unfortunately, participatory approaches largely fail to engage in and incorporate people’s different understandings of the world. Appreciating that when engaging in these differences, d
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children and adolescents is increasing in the world and the United States of America (US). Previous research has shown that the nurse has an important role in the management of T2DM in children and adolescents but few studies has covered how the nurses perceive and experience this role. This paper aimed to describe how nurses in the US experience their role and t
