VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN EPIDEMIOLOGY AND RISK FACTORS
… in a population based total material from southern Sweden, to investigate potential relationships between the factor V Leiden (FVL)-mutation and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in VTE patients, to evaluate how socioeconomic status (SES) and concomitant diseases influence VTE risk during long time …

The drumlin problem : streamlined subglacial bedforms in southern Sweden
… bedforms (often referred to as drumlins) in southern Sweden. The broad aim of this is to contribute to the solution of the ‘drumlin problem’. The term drumlin has come to be applied to a wide range of features whose internal architecture (core) and overall morphology are seen to vary greatly. …

Pollen analysis, chronology and palaeomagnetism of three Late Weichselian sites in southern Sweden
… Late Weichselian pollen stratigraphy for southern Sweden, and reflect the vegetation development from the deglaciation to the transition to the Holocene. The annual time-resolution of the varved clays has made it possible to calculate pollen accumulation rates based on actual sedimentation …

Gestational diabetes mellitus – prevalence in southern Sweden and risk factors for subsequent diabetes
… close to the diagnostic cut-off limits. In southern Sweden, defining GDM as a 2-h capillary plasma glucose concentration of ≥ 10.0 mmol/L during a universal 75-g OGTT, there was a 35% increase in GDM prevalence (p < 0.001) from 2003 (1.9%) to 2012 (2.6%) when assessed in a log-linear Poisson …

The Weichselian in southern Sweden and southwestern Baltic Sea : glacial stratigraphy, palaeoenvironments and deglaciation chronology
… thesis the Weichselian glaciation history of southernmost Sweden and the southwestern Baltic Basin is discussed, with special emphasis on Middle and Late Weichselian ice advances and subsequent deglaciations. The main study area was Kriegers Flak in the southwestern Baltic Sea where pre-Late …

Traffic pollution and chronic respiratory disease. Epidemiological studies in children and adults in southern Sweden.
… disease and allergy in adults and children in southern Sweden (Scania). Information about health was obtained from surveys and health care registers. Traffic pollution exposure was estimated by traffic intensity and levels of NOx at residential addresses, which were obtained by GIS-based …

Soil-atmosphere fluxes of CO2 and CH4 in annual and perennial cropping systems in southern Sweden
… perennial cropping systems at a study site in southern Sweden. The site comprised two adjacent fields, one growing the perennial grain intermediate wheatgrass, the other following an annual crop rotation. Using the chamber method, soil-atmosphere fluxes of CO2 and CH4 were measured at five …

Environmental and climatic aspects of the early to mid Holocene calcareous tufa and land mollusc fauna in southern Sweden
… in large areas with carbonate soil or bedrock in Sweden, no tufa formation has been observed in Sweden. To better understand the factors controlling tufa formation in southern Sweden, bio- and lithostratigraphical studies were carried out on (paludal) calcareous tufa deposits in the province of …

Scarred for Life. How conditions in early life affect socioeconomic status, reproduction and mortality in Southern Sweden, 1813-1968
… conditions. Using individual-level data from Southern Sweden for 1813 to 1968, this work measures the impacts of grain prices during the foetal stage and infant mortality rates during the year of birth on mortality over the full life course, as well as on female socioeconomic status attainment …

Holocene climate change and peatland dynamics in southern Sweden based on tree-ring analysis of subfossil wood from peat deposits
… and widespread lake-level lowering regionally in southern Sweden. When conditions become more humid at the end of the HTM, increased lateral peatland expansion was recorded. This process could be studied in detail based on trees buried in the marginal zone of a peatland. An independent test of the …

The impact of past land-use change on floristic diversity in southern Sweden : a quantitative approach based on high-resolution pollen data
… over the last three millennia in the uplands of southern Sweden. A quantitative approach based on high-resolution pollen data was applied, using the Landscape Reconstruction Algorithm (LRA), historical maps/aerial photographs, palynological richness and new ways to estimate past evenness at …

Estimating source area of pollen and pollen productivity in the cultural landscapes of southern Sweden - developing a palynological tool for quantifying past plant cover
… the ancient, traditional cultural landscape of southern Sweden, (2) to test the potentials and limits of using mechanistic models of pollen dispersal and deposition to reconstruct past cultural landscapes from fossil pollen assemblages, (3) to estimate pollen productivity for the most common …

Heredity in Parkinson's disease. From rare mutations to common genetic risk factors.
… of Parkinson's disease (PD) and parkinsonism in southern Sweden. The extensive Lister Family with parkinsonism caused by duplications and triplications of the gene for alpha-synuclein (SNCA) was studied. Clinical, genetic and genealogical data were compiled and evaluated. Thirty-five family …

Studies on the Epidemiology and Outcome of Primary Systemic Vasculitis
… and outcome of PSV from a stable population in southern Sweden. (I) Using multiple retrieval sources, all prevalent cases with PSV within a defined population were identified to determine the point prevalence (p.p.) per January 1, 2003. Eighty-six patients fulfilled the study criteria for PSV, …

Investigations of temporal changes in climate and the geomagnetic field via high-resolution radiocarbon dating
… sediments of Lake Gyltigesjön in south-west Sweden for the period around 3000-2000 cal BP. With this technique, it was possible to estimate the old-carbon effect (14C reservoir age) in the lake sediments. The bulk sediment based chronology was validated by comparison to the 14C ages of plant …
