Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige insjuknar två barn i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1 diabetes) varje dag. Typ 1 diabetes (T1D) är en kronisk autoimmun sjukdom som kan få livshotande konsekvenser vid utebliven behandling. Sverige har den högsta incidensen av T1D i hela världen efter Finland. Förutom att den delvis är ärftlig vet man inte vilken eller vilka faktorer som triggar sjukdomen. Sedan mittType 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13266634 in th

The present study aimed to estimate possible differences in upper body muscular load between male and female house painters performing identical work tasks. Sex-related differences in muscular load may help explain why women, in general, have more musculoskeletal complaints than men. In a laboratory setting, 16 male and 16 female house painters performed nine standardised work tasks common to hous

Background. Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is an option for the treatment of increased intracranial pressure resulting from an acute neurological insult, including insults caused by trauma. When the brain swelling has receded, the skull is reconstructed with a wide choice of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of cost, cosmetic appearance, biocompatibility, implant s

There is a growing gap between tourism's rapidly growing greenhouse gas emissions and the sector's 'aspirational' emission reduction targets as well as the international policy consensus to reduce emissions from this and all other sectors of the economy. The transport component is the largest GHG contributor to the global tourism system. In the absence of supranational policy agreements to curb em

This article presents the analysis of a large survey on file-sharing that was conducted in April 2011 with over 75,000 respondents from all over the world. The study, also known as The Research Bay, due to that it was conducted in collaboration with the infamous BitTorrent site The Pirate Bay, by the Cybernorms research group. The aim of the online study of The Pirate Bay community has been to des

Mental disorders are associated with premature mortality, and the magnitudes of risk have commonly been estimated using hospital data. However, psychiatric patients who are hospitalized have more severe illness and do not adequately represent mental disorders in the general population. We conducted a national cohort study using outpatient and inpatient diagnoses for the entire Swedish adult popula

Decrease of the human brain temperature was induced by intranasal cooling. The main purpose of this study was to compare the two magnetic resonance methods for monitoring brain temperature changes during cooling: phase-difference and magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) with high spatial resolution. Ten healthy volunteers were measured. Selective brain cooling was performed through nasa

Fastighetsmarknaden i Sverige omsätter ungefär 100.000 fastigheter till ett sammanlagt värde av 300 miljarder svenska kronor. Fastighetsöverlåtelsernas påverkan för individen och på samhällsnivå kan inte underskattas. Den digitaliserande trenden har påverkat denna bransch starkt internationellt och i Norge har lagändringar genomförts för att anpassa fastighetsöverlåtelsen till den moderna och digiThe real estate market in Sweden has a turnover of approximately 100,000 properties with a total value of 300 billion SEK. The impact of the property transfers on the individual and at the community level cannot be underestimated. The digitalisation trend has had a major impact on this industry internationally and in Norway, legislative changes have been made to adapt the property transfer to the

Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur ledare använder sig av e-post som kommunikationsmedel i sitt dagliga arbete. Frågeställningar: Hur och varför använder ledare e-post? Hur upplever ledare användandet av e-post? Hur påverkas ledares arbete av e-post? Undersökningen: Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ intervjumetod och genomfört 14 intervjuer med mellanchefer inom fem företag i Tetra Pak

Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka om det är möjligt att motivera användandet av teknik för förlängd hållbarhet, ESL, på konsumtionsmjölk genom en minskad miljöpåverkan, speciellt gällande distribution och spill. Trenden pekar idag mot ökande transporter för mejeriernas volymprodukter och dessa transporter jämförs för mjölk behandlad med ESL-teknik och vanlig pastöriserad mjölk. Utöver detta

OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary valve implantation (PVI) is common in children with congenital heart disease particularly as they get older. While surgical PVI (SPVI) was the mainstay of treatment for years, percutaneous PVI (PPVI) has evolved into a popular treatment option. The aim of our study was to evaluate the rate of prosthetic pulmonary valve infectious endocarditis (PPVIE) between these two modes o

Purpose: Incisional hernia (IH) after open liver surgery is a well-recognized complication. The clinical importance of IH detected on computed tomography in terms of objective abdominal wall discomfort and impairment of quality of life (QoL) is less well known. Methods: Patients who underwent curative surgery for colorectal liver metastases between 2010 and 2015 at a single center and were alive i

“Men from March, women from Venus” is a bachelor thesis where the Swedish populations consumption habits of the product groups clothes, underwear and shoes are individually examined through statistical analysis. The aim of the thesis is to examine if any differences between male and female consumption of those product groups can be determined for the first year of the financial crisis. This is det

This is a study of Spanish immigration policies, the changes they have gone through over the past years, and more importantly, why. Three theoretical approaches are central to this thesis, namely: economic calculations, to do the right thing, and politics of insecurity. Through these approaches, different events and considerations that affect policy-shaping are highlighted and analysed. This

In Sweden a new red list was issued 2000, but there is no published list of the most important areas for biodiversity preservation. I use woodliving and red-listed beetles as indicators of “hot-spots” for biodiversity preservation, since these insects constitute a large proportion of the red-listed forest living species in Sweden. Based on museum and many large private collections of beetles from

Before, during, and after cardiac intervention, there is occasionally a need for circulatory support because of hemodynamic deterioration. For this purpose, a new minimally invasive cardiac assist device has been developed, and an early prototype has been studied in a bench test and in three pigs. The pump is a catheter system with a distal motor driven propeller (0-15,000 rpm) surrounded by a cag

Sammanfattning Efterfrågan på jordbruksmark har under senare år ökat dramatiskt. De huvudsakliga bakomliggande drivkrafterna till denna är jordens växande befolkning, produktivitetsminskning av tidigare fertil jordbruksmark, ökad efterfrågan på biobränsleproduktion samt de stigande matpriserna. Dessa faktorer har resulterat i att ett stort antal nationer och företag investerar i jordbruksmark utanDemand for agricultural land has increased dramatically in recent years. The drivers behind this increase are the world’s growing population, the decrease in productivity in former fertile agricultural land, the increased demand for bioenergy production and the rising food prices. These factors have led to an increasing amount of companies and nations that have made investments in agricultural lan

Ska allt vi förknippar med den offentliga sfären – tillgång till offentliga miljöer, arbetsliv, sociala relationer – vara tillgängligt för personer med funktionsnedsättning? Knappast någon skulle idag svara ”nej”. Men hur resonerar vi kring den privata sfären, kring frågor om intimitet och sexualitet? Är det möjligt att öka tillgängligheten också till dessa viktiga delar i en människas liv? Och ka

Marine sediments have been suggested as a reservoir for pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli. The origins, and properties promoting survival of E. coli in marine sediments (including osmotolerance, biofilm formation capacity, and antibiotic resistance), have not been well-characterized. Phenotypes and genotypes of 37 E. coli isolates from coastal marine sediments were characterized. The
