- Background: The use of analgesic antipyretics (ANAP) in children have long been a matter of controversy. Data on their practical use on an individual level has, however, been scarce. There are indications of possible effects on glucose homeostasis and immune function related to the use of ANAP. The aim of this study was to analyze patterns of analgesic antipyretic use across the clinical centers of The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) prospective cohort study and test if ANAP use was a risk factor for islet autoimmunity. Methods: Data were collected for 8542 children in the first 2.5 years of life. Incidence was analyzed using logistic regression with country and first child status as independent variables. Holm's procedure was used to adjust for multiplicity of intercountry comparisons. Time to autoantibody seroconversion was analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards model with cumulative analgesic use as primary time dependent covariate of interest. For each categorization, a generalized estimating equation (GEE) approach was used. Results: Higher prevalence of ANAP use was found in the U.S. (95.7%) and Sweden (94.8%) compared to Finland (78.1%) and Germany (80.2%). First-born children were more commonly given acetaminophen (OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.07, 1.49; p = 0.007) but less commonly Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) (OR 0.86; 95% CI 0.78, 0.95; p = 0.002). Acetaminophen and NSAID use in the absence of fever and infection was more prevalent in the U.S. (40.4%; 26.3% of doses) compared to Sweden, Finland and Germany (p < 0.001). Acetaminophen or NSAID use before age 2.5 years did not predict development of islet autoimmunity by age 6 years (HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.99-1.09; p = 0.27). In a sub-analysis, acetaminophen use in children with fever weakly predicted development of islet autoimmunity by age 3 years (HR 1.05; 95% CI 1.01-1.09; p = 0.024). Conclusions: ANAP use in young children is not a risk factor for seroconversion by age 6 years. Use of ANAP is widespread in young children, and significantly higher in the U.S. compared to other study sites, where use is common also in absence of fever and infection.

Deviant Women : Cultural, Linguistic, and Literary Approaches to Narratives of Femininity
- 2015
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This multidisciplinary collection of articles illuminates the ways in which the concept of female deviance is represented, appropriated, re-inscribed and refigured in a wide range of texts across time, cultures and genres. Such a choice of variety shows that representations of deviance accommodate meaning-making spaces and possibilities for resistance in different socio-cultural and literary contexts. The construct of the deviant woman is analysed from literary, sociolinguistic and historical-cultural perspectives, revealing insights about cultures and societies. Furthermore, the studies recognise and explain the significance of the concept of deviance in relation to gender that bespeaks a contemporary cultural concern about narratives of femininity.

Bild som interface mellan text och läsare : En studie av kroppens konkretisering i en detektivroman
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med denna rapport är att synliggöra och förstå den manliga detektivens kroppslighet, att finna metoder att konkretisera detektivens kropp på ett enkelt och tydligt sätt, som skulle ge tillgång till både kroppens yta och den kroppslighet som inte blir synlig på ytan. Efter en tid växte en bild fram av detektiverna. Bilden bestod av alla de kroppsdelar som nämns explicit i texten, och att detta sätt att konkretisera ett textuellt fenomen var både roligt och givande. En vidareutveckling av idén tog vid, och efter ett tag började de pedagogiska möjligheterna skönjas som detta arbetssätt kunde ha i skolans litteraturundervisning.

Hard & Soft : The Male Detective´s Body in Contemporary European Crime Fiction
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In the thesis popular culture is treated as an important site of meaningcreation and crime fiction is studied as a social technology, as producing and reproducing strategies of engendering.The thesis is a comparative study of six crime fiction detectives from fiveEuropean countries: Sweden, Finland, Scotland, Spain, and Italy. Its mainfocus is to study the interrelations of three socially constructed categories,those of the body, masculinity and detectiveness. The analysis deals withfirst, the ways in which gender is produced through the body, and second,the intersections between the body, masculinity and detectiveness.Instances of embodiment-either of the explicitly mentioned body or theimplied body-are treated as performatives which participate in the construction of the detective's body/masculinity.A thematic approach is used. The themes analysed are selected becauseof their particularly interesting communicative capacities as regards themain focus of the thesis, the processes of masculinisation of the detective's body. The themes are: the penis, the body and technology, woundedness, obesity and ageing, food and eating, and the detective's significant others, i.e. murderers, murder victims and women as objects of desire.A comparison of North European, Protestant, and Mediterranean, Catholicdetectives is made to illustrate the differences in the ways in which bodies become masculinised in the two parts of Europe.
