   Sammanfattning : Background: Iodine is essential for the production of thyroid hormones. Both iodine deficiency (ID) and iodine excess may be harmful. Iodine intake in Sweden is considered adequate for the general population due to iodization of table salt since 1936 but data on pregnant and breastfeeding women (i.e. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Studies were performed to improve iodine deficiency control programs. Goitre rates and cassava processing practices were compared in three Central African Republic (CAR) populations. Short-cuts in cassava processing were associated with elevated urinary thiocyanate and increased goitre rates, suggesting a goitrogenic effect in one population. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Chapter 1: Impact of School Peers from the Same Region-of-Origin on Endogamy and Work Segregation: Evidence from Sweden This study estimates how the quasi-random variation in the proportion of school peers from the same Region-of-Origin (ROO) affects the probability for an individual to have a partner from the same ROO (endogamy) and the proportion of colleagues from the same ROO in the same workplace later in life (work segregation). This is answered by a fixed effect regression model, together with a unique dataset that merges different register databases from Sweden. LÄS MER
