Prenatal Exposure to Locally Emitted Air Pollutants Is Associated with Birth Weight: : An Administrative Cohort Study from Southern Sweden

While prenatal exposure to ambient air pollution has been shown to be associated with reduced birth weight, there is substantial heterogeneity across studies, and few epidemiological studies have utilized source-specific exposure data. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to investigate the associations between local, source-specific exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during pregn

What Fosters Transformational Leadership

Leadership plays an important role for innovation (Mumford & Licuanan, 2004). This study investigates the conditions facilitating leadership and leadership behavior by exploring motivational aspects fostering transformational leadership. More specifically, we study the associations of intrinsic and prosocial motivation with transformational leadership among 252 middle managers in the largest n

Motivation, Knowledge Sharing, and Need Satisfaction in Groups

Research confirms that there are many forms of motivation associated with various organizational outcomes, and that there are various ways in which motivation can be supported. Self-determination theory shows that autonomous motivation is related to many important organizational outcomes and that the support of basic psychological needs helps to develop the motivations even further. However, addit

Independent in the heard: Inclusion and exclusion as social processes. : Proceedings from the 9th GRASP conference, Linköping University, May 2014: Independent in the heard: Inclusion and exclusion as social processes. The 9th GRASP conference, Linköping University, May 2014

GRASP (Group and Social Psychology) is an interdisciplinary conference, which aims to provide a community around social psychological issues for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students from the Nordic countries within the fields of psychology, sociology, education, behavioural sciences and social work to share, exchange, learn, and develop preliminary results, new concepts, ideas, princi

Växternas utveckling – en kort resumé av ett långt händelseförlopp

Idag tar vi växterna för givna. För många människor är de ett bakgrundsbrus, en fond. Hos oss växtintresserade får de lite mer fokus. Vi kan urskilja arterna i den gröna massan av växtlighet och vi oroar oss för deras framtid. I den här artikeln tar tre forskare med oss på en resa genom växternas historia – från första början, genom olika klimat som har gynnat utvecklingen av växtgrupper med olika

The Benefits of Peer Autonomy Support for Teachers

In self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) autonomy support describes an interpersonal style where a manager takes the perspective of a subordinate into account, presents rationales for decisions, and provides opportunities for choice (Baard et al., 2004). We have recently shown that autonomy support from peers may be more influential than from supervisors (Jungert et al., 2012). In the

Epidemiology of fractures in children with cerebral palsy : a Swedish population-based registry study

BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) form a heterogeneous group and may have risk or protective factors for fractures compared with typically developing children. The fracture sites may also differ from those of children who do not have CP. We analyzed the fracture epidemiology in a total population of children with CP.METHODS: This was a retrospective registry study based on data from th

Islet Autoantibody Levels Differentiate Progression Trajectories in Individuals with Presymptomatic Type 1 Diabetes

Our previous data-driven analysis of evolving patterns of islet autoantibodies (IAbs) against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA) and islet antigen 2 (IA-2A) discovered three trajectories characterized by either multiple IAbs (TR1), IAA (TR2), or GADA (TR3) as the first appearing autoantibodies. Here we examined the evolution of IAb levels within these trajectories in 2,145 IAb-posit

Closing competency gaps for circularity: Exploring partner dynamics for circular-oriented innovation

The implementation of circular initiatives requires certain capabilities and knowledge that traditional business models often lack, requiring new perspectives and external collaborations. While it is understood that partnerships can aid in innovation and provide knowledge and capabilities to firms, the dynamics of collaboration for the transition towards circular business models (CBMs) need to be

NATO and the Swedish Churches : Dealing with Defence Policy in the Midst of a European Crisis

Excerpt: "Just like the rest of the population, Swedish Christians remain fundamentally divided in their opinions about the best way to arrange Sweden’s relationship to NATO. But the responses on the part of the churches also seem to hark back to bygone ages. National defense and foreign policy remain, in a country for centuries fundamentally shaped by Lutheran doctrine concerning the division bet

Real-world wintertime CO, N2O, and CO2 emissions of a central European village

Although small rural settlements are only minor individual sources of greenhouse gases and air pollution, their high overall occurrence can significantly contribute to the total emissions of a region or country. Emissions from a rural lifestyle may be remarkably different than those of urban and industrialized regions, but nevertheless they have hardly been studied so far. Here, flux measurements

Multi-ancestry genetic study of type 2 diabetes highlights the power of diverse populations for discovery and translation

We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the Diabetes Meta-Analysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies (DIAMANTE) Consortium. Multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identified 237 loci attaining stringent genome-wide significance (P < 5 ×

The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on severe asthma care in Europe: Will care change for good?

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put pressure on healthcare services, forcing the reorganisation of traditional care pathways. We investigated how physicians taking care of severe asthma patients in Europe reorganised care, and how these changes affected patient satisfaction, asthma control and future care. Methods In this European-wide cross-sectional study, patient
