Mentalizing, or reasoning about others’ mental states, is a dynamic social cognitive process that aids in communication and navigating complex social interactions. We examined whether exposure to diverse perspectives, afforded by occupying influential social network positions, predicted bilingual adults’ performances on a behavioral mentalizing rating task in regions of high and low linguistic div
Background: Physical activity remains a valuable prevention for metabolic disease. The effects of Nordic walking on cardiovascular risk factors were determined in overweight individuals with normal or disturbed glucose regulation.Methods: We included 213 individuals, aged 60 ± 5.3 years and with body mass index (BMI) of 30.2 ± 3.8 kg/m(2); of these, 128 had normal glucose tolerance (NGT), 35 had i
Within the next 30 years, two thirds of the human population will live in a city. This growing urban population requires a major shift in the way we produce and distribute food, since conventional agriculture practices are responsible for climate change, biodiversity losses, pollution of waterways, soil degradation, etc. Urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry represent one of the strategies
Aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) is the main constituent of Lewy bodies, which are a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Environmental factors are thought to be potential triggers capable of initiating the aggregation of the otherwise monomeric α-syn. Braak’s seminal work redirected attention to the intestine and recent reports of dysbiosis have highlighted the potential causative rol
Objectives: The purpose of this study is the development of a porcine model of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning to investigate alterations in brain and heart mitochondrial function. Design: Two group large animal model of CO poisoning. Setting: Laboratory. Subjects: Ten swine were divided into two groups: Control (n = 4) and CO (n = 6). Interventions: Administration of a low dose of CO at 200 ppm to
Objective: To determine incidence rate and predictors of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) in a population-based cohort with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV). Methods: The study comprised 325 patients diagnosed with AAV from 1997 to 2016. All cases of VTE from prior to vasculitis diagnosis to the end of the study period were identified. The BVAS was used to assess disease activity at diagnosis. V
Bile acids (BAs) play different roles in cancer development. Some are carcinogenic and BA signaling is also involved in various metabolic, inflammatory and immune-related processes. The liver is the primary site of BA synthesis. Liver dysfunction and microbiome compositional changes, such as during hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, may modulate BA metabolism increasing concentration of c
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data 2010-2014 from the Swedish national dementia registry (SveDem) and the Swedish national stroke registry (Riksstroke). Patients with dementia who suffered an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) (n = 1,356) were compared with matched non-dementia AIS patients (n = 6,755). Outcomes included length of stay in a stroke unit, total length of hospit
Question: What is the interrater agreement of EEG interpretation in adult comatose post cardiac arrest patients using the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS) standardized critical care EEG terminology? Methods: The EEG-data were obtained from patients included in the Target Temperature Management trial (TTM), an international, multicenter, clinical trial of temperature management in c
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine associations between initially recorded deviations in individual bedside vital parameters that contribute to total Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) levels 2 or 3 and further clinical deterioration (MEWS level=4). Design/methodology/approach: This was a prospective study in which 27,504 vital parameter values, corresponding to a total MEWS level
Background: Airspace Dimension Assessment with inhaled nanoparticles is a novel method to determine distal airway morphology. This is the first empirical study using Airspace Dimension Assessment with nanoparticles (AiDA) to estimate distal airspace radius. The technology is relatively simple and potentially accessible in clinical outpatient settings. Method: Nineteen never-smoking volunteers perf
Aims: To investigate associations between self-injury and involvement in cyberbullying as a bully, victim or bully-victim among mentally distressed adolescents. Methods: Data from the public health survey of children and adolescents in Scania, Sweden 2016 were used. A questionnaire was answered anonymously in school by 9143 students in 9th grade compulsory school (response rate 77%) and 7949 stude
The labour market consequences of early-onset or congenital disabilities have received little attention in the literature. In this paper, we study the consequences of cerebral palsy (CP), a lifelong early onset disability, and pathways through which it affects labour outcomes. We use data from multiple linked Swedish National Population Registers between 1990 and 2015 and apply both regression and
Objectives Little is known about figure skaters’ mental health. This study aimed to describe anxiety and depression caseness (defined as a screening condition qualifying for psychiatric examination) in competitive figure skaters and analyse factors associated with such caseness.Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in April 2019 among all competitive figure skaters in the south-eastern reg
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is frequent in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) with 2 different phenotypes: isolated postcapillary PH (IpcPH) and, with the worst prognosis, combined pre- and postcapillary PH (CpcPH). The aims of the present echocardiography study were to investigate (1) the ability to identify PH phenotype in patients with HFrEF using the
Dangdut as the most popular music in Indonesia is highly sexualized on its representation of women despite the fact that Indonesia is a religious country. Dangdut’s sexualization is prominent on its performance, lyrics and culture. Banality, is the face of dangdut. During its public shows, many of the male audiences are more often than not intoxicated and engage in physical fights. Yet to date, th
This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t
I samband med Covid-19-pandemins inträffande tvingades såväl allmänna domstolar som skiljenämnder världen över att ta ställning till om förhandlingar skulle ställas in i väntan på att smittspridningen skulle gå ner eller om de skulle genomföras med hjälp av tekniska hjälpmedel. Många var snabba med att utnyttja de tekniska möjligheter som stod till buds och det blev på kort tid vanligt med virtuelWith the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, national courts and arbitration tribunals around the world were forced to decide whether to cancel hearings while waiting for the spread of the disease to subside, or whether to conduct them using technical means. Many were quick to take advantage of the technological means available, and virtual hearings in which all participants are present via some form
A change in legislation has resulted in that many of Sweden’s municipal landfills were closed in the beginning of this century. After landfill completion, the oper-ator is responsible for at least 30 years to take action with regard to the protec-tion of human health and the Environment. In contribution Swedish landfill owners are facing increasing demands on local leachate treatment due to a chan
The aim of the study was to perform a hazard assessment of ingredients in sunscreen products available on the Swedish market. Data was collected by documentation of all ingredients in 110 frequently occurring sunscreen products from 15 different brands and by a screening of four known databases for collection of hazard classifications of the ingredients. The study shows that 96 out of 347 ingredie
