2. 1. Overweight and obesity in young children : preventive work in child health care with fokus on nurses´ perceptions and parental risk factors

   Author : Gabriella E Isma; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Övervikt hos barn; Barnhälsovården; Förskolebarn; Sjuksköterskor; Förebyggande arbete; Obesity;

   Abstract : Childhood obesity is a global public health threat correlated with several comorbidities and increased mortality in adult life. Heredity and physical development concomitant with environment culture and lifestyle habits are contributing key factors for the onset of overweight. READ MORE

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Membrane Distillation; Experimental investigations; Techno-economic; Wastewater; Flue gas condensate; Waste heat; District heating; Nano-electronics; Cogeneration; Sustainable development; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : The European Union has placed a high priority on reaching the goals described in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This aim has provided added momentum to member-state environmental regulatory authorities to further tighten the discharge limits of industrial wastewater. READ MORE

5. 3. Grassland restoration : Connectivity, plant community change and cows

   Author : Rozália E. Kapás; Sara Cousins; Adam Kimberley; Lars A. Brudvig; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; biodiversity; colonization; connectivity; dispersal; distance to species pool; diversity; grassland restoration; grassland specialist species; grazing livestock; habitat availability; plant community composition; restoration; semi-natural grassland; species richness; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

   Abstract : The ecological significance of semi-natural grasslands is high because these habitats provide a home for a diverse flora and fauna and support a range of associated ecosystem services. Due to large-scale land-use changes the extent of grassland habitat has declined. READ MORE

6. 4. Clinical Impact of Bloodstream Infections – Characterization, Risk factors and Outcome

   Author : Martin Holmbom; Håkan Hanberger; Christian G. Giske; Lennart E Nilsson; Mats Fredrikson; Åse Östholm Balkhed; Ralph Peeker; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bloodstream infection BSI ; Antimicrobial resistance AMR ; Extended spectrum β-lactamase ESBL ; ESBL-producing Enterobacterales; Multidrug-resistant; Urinary tract infection; Sepsis; Epidemiology; Prehospital delay; Community-acquired BSI; Hospital-acquired BSI; Community-onset BSI;

   Abstract : Bloodstream infection (blood poisoning) and antibiotic resistance are increasing worldwide, and already cause the loss of millions of human lives each year. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), bloodstream infections (BSIs) represent 20% of global mortality on a par with cardiac infarct, stroke, and major trauma. READ MORE

7. 5. Spatiotemporal streamflow variability in a boreal landscape : Importance of landscape composition for catchment hydrological functioning

   Author : Reinert Huseby Karlsen; Jan Seibert; Kevin Bishop; Thomas Grabs; Sarah E. Godsey; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; streamflow; catchment hydrology; boreal; water balance; spatiotemporal variability; landscape analysis; climate change; recession curve; Hydrology; Hydrologi;

   Abstract : The understanding of how different parts of a landscape contribute to streamflow by storing and releasing water has long been a central issue in hydrology. Knowledge about what controls streamflow dynamics across landscapes can further our understanding of how catchments store and release water, facilitate predictions for ungauged catchments, and improve the management of water quality and resources.
